Customer Reviews
I had a great experience visiting El Cabrito for the first time! I'm from the San Francisco Bay Area and can be particular about Mexican food, and El Cabrito knocked it out of the park! Everything was made to order, and I was able to order entirely in Spanish (one of my measures of taquerias). Service was excellent, the food was and felt authentic, and they accept all payment methods (including Apple Pay!). I'll definitely be back sometime soon and have likely found my new go-to Mexican spot for the Seattle area.
You’ll drive right by this gem if you don’t know where it is already. This tiny restaurant is a delightful surprise for the first timers visit and clearly locally known. The young lady who greeted us just made me feel like she was eager to have us over for dinner rather than being at her restaurant. The mole was rich and had a slight spice to it. The tacos were fantastic. The Al Pastor with the slice of pineapple and the perfectly seared pork had me remembering them from Mexico City. Seating is limited, but adds to that feeling of eating in someone’s kitchen rather than out. Highly recommend if you are in Sea-Tac area.
Dry cabrito , cold and old , machito horible cold and dry . Good service , expensive because meat was cold and dry. I will never go back
Cosy spot with warm decor. Staff were very friendly and food came out pretty fast. Portions were large and packed with flavor. It is perhaps pricier than other places around town, but definitely felt worth it to us. It was a good experience.
