    Best pork mole I’ve eaten in Seattle/Burien areas! My daughter ate 4 tacos which is rare for her. The Mole is just the right amount of sweet. Super clean environment, friendly staff and quality food! Will definitely come back.

    If you are a fan of mole, this is the place to be! Kind staff and a patio perfect for a nice day. The mole enchiladas were absolutely amazing and I will definitely be coming back for more!

    Excellent authentic Mexico Mexican food...I felt like I was in Mexico. The mole enchiladas are devine, I loved that they were the star of the plate...it wasn't overwhelmed with beans & rice.

    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.
