El Cabrito - Reserva de mesa

I had heard so many great things about El Cabrito via Yelp, various articles, and word of mouth, so I was extremely excited to try it out. Tl;dr it was okay. We arrived mid afternoon on a Saturday afternoon and we were the only people there, so we were able to order quickly. We ordered the Carne Asada, Chicken Mole, and the Pastor and Carnitas tacos. Maybe my expectations were too high? Maybe they had an off day? Either way, I didn 't have the same experience that people raved about. The chicken in the Chicken Mole was pounded down, thin, and dry. The mole itself has a great earthy flavor, which I really enjoyed, but I didn 't get any other flavor notes coming though, like a smokiness or a s...

The menu at El Cabrito isn't extensive, but it covers all the essentials: tacos, burritos, plates, and a selection of daily specials. On the autumn weeknight my boyfriend and I visited, we noticed specials like Butternut Squash Tacos and Spicy Shrimp (Camarones). I assume these rotate seasonally. After looking over the menu, I opted for the tacos ($12), which come as a plate of four with a choice of two types. I selected chicken mole and carne asada. My boyfriend, a big fan of enchiladas, ordered the Chicken Mole Enchiladas ($16). Let me just say: HOLY MOLE! The chicken mole here is the best I've ever had—sweet, savory, and with just a hint of umami from the chocolate. It’s rich, creamy, a...

Came here on a whim since I was in the area and the food was pretty good. It's a small place with maybe 3 4 tables but looks like there are regulars that come here often. Parking is a little weird, but we ended up parking at the bank next door. We ordered the molote and the toquito as it's not something we usually see on the menu so we wanted to see what it was. They are cook to order so it does take a little time: Toquitos meaty and crunchy and goes well with the sauce provided. Molote fried potato balls??? Interesting item, a little bland but again, if you eat with the sauce, it's pretty good. People here are nice and hospitable. Nice place to try in burien Reserva una mesa ahora

Tried the coloradito mole enchiladas, no loges and some chips with pico de gallo. The portion sizes are just right from the amount of beans, size of enchiladas and even portion of salsas. I enjoyed the mole it was very tasty and comforting. The decorations are unique and interesting to look at. It was a bit cold inside but not an issue. The bathroom light is on the outside of the bathroom initially i was confused because i flipped the switch inside for it to only turn the fan on. Service was good, fast to order and thoughtful energy. I'm happy we came here.

Popped in for a quick dinner and the restaurant was empty (also 5pm, valid), I got the molotes and my partner ordered the pork enchiladas, we got the pico and chips to share. Food took a bit but it was super hot and fresh. Chips and pico were super good, tomatoes were perfect. The molotes weren't bad but I found them lacking some flavor, the avocado sauce was really good and I wish there was more of that, I didn't taste much chorizo. The enchiladas were pretty good, strong mole flavors. Service was super friendly.

We used El Cabrito for our company party. Everything was put together really well to transport. The service was very friendly and helpful from the first contact to pick up. The tacos were amazing! Two of our employees are from Texas and they said they were the best tacos they've had in WA. Quite the rave review! I would definitely go back and try their other dishes. The decor inside is very fun. Love all the plants.

Excellent Oaxacan food, great mole, and really good veggies in the vegetarian entres. A little on the expensive side at $15-25 per person.
