Everything you have ever wanted in fresh-cooked Cabrito, along with amazing apps. I suggest the cabrito over anything, as it is their specialty (hence the name).

Cabrito as the last reviewer noticed does indeed have the best mole that's not home made that I have had. Either the Enchiladas verde or the Mole Oaxena (sp) is outstanding. My wife had the fried chicken plate which was huge and very good. Plan on left overs if you order this. My daughter ordered the filet mignon and since... More

El Cabrito has been always been one of locals favorite places. The food is amazing! Even though the main attraction is their trademark slow roasted cabrito (baby goat), the homemade Mole is one of the best I've ever had, and trust me, I've had plenty. The last time I was there I bought one of the pre packed containers and... More

We went on February the 14th wit my wife her sister and her partner. Wine was OK but over priced, the meal, mainly goat, good but not excellent for the price. The shrimps were small, normally the 'camarones', how they call it, are bigger. The service was good but the guy who serves the wine needs a session how to... More

My husband had been dying to eat here for the last 6 years, his Dad brought him here when he graduated from high school. So I was anxious to see if it lived up to his expectations, Absoutely it was wonderful, a must stop when you are in Acapulco

While walking down the Costera one evening, we saw El Cabrito's and went in for a bite. I just liked the open air breeze blowing in and the friendly staff and then found out that the food was delicious! Will be back again.

Restaurant is really easy to find. the tables streetside are great for people watching on the costera, definately better than siiting inside. tried the roasted goat just to say i did. it was bland and had no sauce or flavorings. i would get something else next time. they even had roasted goat heads if you really want to try soemthing...
