Hola Cabrito

Hola Cabrito - Phoenix 4835 S 16th StPhoenix, AZ 85040Sunday, August 25, 2024 11am This afternoon I had the great pleasure of dining at Hola Cabrito in Phoenix, Arizona, and I must say, this place is the real deal. It's a true mom and pop shop, not your typical fast food chain, and that authenticity shines through in every slurp of tasty birria broth. If you're planning to visit during peak hours on Saturday or Sunday, be prepared to wait outside. It's a popular spot, and for good reason. The wait is worth it, but do plan accordingly, especially with the sweltering Arizona heat.My wait outside was about fifteen minutes. I was seated and I immediately ordered the goat birria soup, and it was outstanding. The goat birria soup comes with a generous portion of shredded goat meat--no bones or gristle, thank gawd! The broth was rich and flavorful, far from the bland broths you sometimes encounter. You could really taste the goat meat in every slurp. Service was pretty impressive, especially considering it was a busy Sunday afternoon. My meal was served within three minutes, complete with freshly made tortillas, lime, and optional diced onion and cilantro to garnish. Overall, Hola Cabrito deserves a five-star rating. I'll definitely be returning, and next time, I'll bring some special friends along to share in the experience. Blessings to all, and follow me on Yelp for more food reviews. - Jordan

I've been here twice with a co worker and it's always been great! On the weekends it gets full pretty fast so try to come early before the rush. They have Birria and menudo on the menu.. they also sell goat head if you call and order a head of time.. the service is pretty good minus today.. the waitress could have been better lol

Really was looking forward to trying this place but I gotta say the meat was very dryGot the 3 taco combo 2 beef 1 goat and all 3 tacos were so dry and I was surprised bc the tortillas didn't hold up the best while eating I only took a few bites and was finished Rice and beans were ok The service was good they were very nice maybe I just caught them on a off day but I wouldn't return

The quesabirria was very delicious. I tried both the goat and beef meat. Great for the price

Service is very bad . The prices are not updated and have doubled . The food was ok .

Service here sucks. We walked in and the waitress Samantra said "do you want a menu?" Well how the heck are we supposed to order??? She must have adhd or something because she kept forgetting about the customers, because they got up to ask her for things, including myself. When she finally came back to our table, she apologized and admitted she was in the back messing around, and then does it again. I had to walk to the kitchen myself to ask for my lid and again she was back there messing around with coworkers. Food is nothing special. We had the beef birria and asada tacos. We've had better.

After hiking the South Mountain, on my way back to DTPHX, I stopped by at this restaurant. The staff is super nice and very attentive and professional. What amazed me about the place is how juicy and tender the goat meat was, & the tortillas are freshly made every morning. Their salsa Roja is well balanced and has the right amount of kick, it's balanced!

My first time here, a Foodie outing with Meetup Group called Wild Dining on April 2, 2022. there were 11 people at 3 tables. I ordered their house special goat stew or birria in the broth $13.95, and treated myself to a Mexican Coke, but didn't know it costs $3.49. The goat stew was so delicious, pieces of goat had plenty of membrane attached, as if it was tripe. it waas cooked like tripe, too. They cooked the goat A LONG TIME to get it THAT SOFT! I give the goat stew 5 stars for taste.Goat is served with 3 handmade flour totillas. No chips and salsa at this place.The reason why I am giving 3 stars instead of 5 stars that i thought the goat stew achieved, is because of the service. The organizer of this event already alluded that the servers didn't speak English and this will be part of the ethnic expperience, in case this wasn't your cup of tea, and she asked is there anyone who could speak Spanish when we go. Well I experienced what she meant. I couldn't make the server understand what I wanted, even a cup of ice to have with my bottled Coke. Poor thing, always had to go and get someone else to translate something so simple. And in the end, she doesn't bring it to me. Nothing i asked for, was understood and brought to me, till long after, when I saw someone else and asked them. She acted as if she got it and was gonna bring it, but then it wouldn't come, such as more onions and cilantro, which was served with our food like condiments. They forgot my flan, too, had to remind them. I liked the flan, rich and thick, but didn't like the sauce, it was kinda like raspberry sauce, made the flan sour and tart. All in all, service was like "the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing", but I suppose it adds to the truly authentic ethnic experience, cos I didn't speak Spanish, and therefore had the Gringo experience. shows how authentically Mexican this place is. Very baaaaaahhhh building and interior, just like in a small village in Mexico. Was just missing live goats on the loose, hanging around the building and parking lot.

Delicious and fast. The birria has great flavor and so does the consommé. We also ordered el pastor tacos but next time I will stick with the birria de chivo. It was really good.

I had the most wonderful experience when I stopped in for lunch. First of all, it is the cleanest restaurant I've ever walked into and the staff greeted me as soon as I walked in the door and were all really nice and friendly which really impressed me. Secondly, it's the best truly authentic Mexican food I've ever tasted. Lastly, it was very affordable as well. Thank you Hola Cabrito I will definitely be returning and sending others your way as well.
