Maybe the best steak and eggs in town. Get it with corn tortillas not flour.

Rico champurrado is delicious but it comes in Styrofoam. They insist on straws for cold drinks.

My first time trying this Mexican restaurant. They were bust but it wasn't packed, which is nice. Everyone speaks Spanish there, which is nice! It has a mom and pop feel to it!They serve chips and salsa to start. The salsa was spicy and I quite enjoyed it. I just decided to order some tacos. I got one fish, steak and 2 al pastor. I loved all the tacos. They were delicious. I'd definitely return. A lil family came in selling cheese pie and I thought that was so interesting! I've never had a cheese pie. And they were literally walking around with an authentic pie basket! Love.

Came here after a late movie for the first time and it was veryyyy filling. I got the ground beef enchiladas in salsa verde which was extremely well done, the only thing I would say is that the beef was very fatty but it brought with it a lot of good flavor. The place was very festive and it was relaxed enough so that we could continue good conversation as well as the service was on point and direct and gave us time to order and made sure we had everything we could possibly need. I loved that we got a big basket of chips and salsa too!

The tacos were great! Definetly a more authentic Mexican restaurant. Menu included options like beef tongue and goat meat. I'd recommend the steak tacos and add avocado, they were delicious! FYI, you pay at the register after eating

Drove by the place on a lark. I was at work and Friday is my treat day. I like the goat on the sign. Let's give her a try. Being a tacos al pastor junkie, you know what I ordered. The chips and salsa were edible, but nothing like Botanas. Still "goated" as the best chips and salsa in Milwaukee. They offered two squeeze bottle sauces. One verde, one rojo. They both were very tasty and I was going to sample both on my taco platter. Rice and beans were very good. Platter came with grilled Mexican onions and a half of a jalapeno?? I would've ate the whole thing if they gave it to me, but they sliced off the tip. The taco meat was tender, savory, charred and garnished to perfection with cilantro and onions. I ate the whole thang, and I am not ashamed. Food was very good. Give it a try.

Looking for a quick place to eat? How about a place with reasonable prices. Authentic Mexican dishes all spiced just right. I unfortunately speak no Spanish, but the employees working helped to figure out what I was asking for (a side of sauce they use on a specific dish). Everyone was so nice and I had so much food, I had lunch for the next day. The steak was very tender and juicy. The enchiladas were smothered in sauce (the way it should be). Heads up, they currently do not have alcohol but they do have Jarritos soda!

One of my go to Mexican spots in the city! The tacos never disappoint and this place is always packed and for good reason!Atmosphere is homey and the servers are hard working and attentive. You can tell the meet is good quality - I recommend the lomo, carne asada and al pastor. Super flavorful and loaded. The tortas are also delicious and huge!The salsa is chunky and has a kick to it. Chips were solid but mainly used them to scoop up as much of that killer salsa as I could!One thing to note: they do not serve alcohol. I usually enjoy a nice cold Mexican beer with my tacos, so that is the only thing I would downgrade them on. But it's a good excuse to try an horchata or other traditional drinks. A great authentic Mexican experience awaits you at Taqueria El Cabrito!

Great taco place. They have fresh beef birria. Sometimes they run out of it. Get some good Mexican food. They charge extra for salsa and only give you 1 small red and 1 small green so don't go crazy on it and end up paying more. Service was good. Place still like great inside. The same look from many years ago.

Had an awesome dinner last night at Taqueria El Cabrito! I had been craving Mexican food all day and this totally satisfied my craving! The cutest little place on the South side and our server was so friendly! Always attentive and really sweet:) Let's start off with the chips and salsa- woah. It was super chunky, which I love, and even had a kick to it! Usually the complimentary chips and salsa are okay in my opinion, but these were awesome! The chips were okay but really they just were there to scoop that delicious salsa! I had the carnitas, asada and pollo tacos with avocado and they were AMAZING! I gotta say, the carnitas was my favorite one. The pork was crispy and seasoned perfectly. I loved the fresh avocado addition and the onions and cilantro made it so fresh! Loved the jalapeño and green onion garnish (be careful when trying the jalapeño ) the asada and chicken tacos were so good too and I drenched it in their green sauce they had on the table! My friends had the cheesy burrito with steak and the chorizo, ground beef and pastor tacos. SO GOOD TOO! Will defeintly be back here! For all this food it was a great price and you can't beat those tacos!

The food here is authentic and I find it consistently very good. My husband is from Mexico and this is our favorite spot in the city. I typically get the chicken tinga quesadilla (they make it with Oaxaca Cheese, which I really like as opposed to conventional shredded cheese). Comes with sour cream, lettuce and a slice of avocado.My hubby usually gets an assortment of tacos or if we are going with friends the charola tray is a better value.My kid loves the rice and beans.In terms of ambiance, eating there feels like a typical Mexican restaurant experience. We have always had decent service while there as well. We do both-eating in and to go.Adding current pictures of the menu as I did have difficulty finding a good link to their full current menu (as of mid-2023). Hope if you try it you love it as much as we do!

The best Mexican food in Milwaukee, hands down. Fast, friendly, affordable, delicious, great service. Comfortable family environment, some big tables and lots of booths. Order chicken tacos and/or pastor tacos on corn tortillas with onions and cilantro and you will be eating the best tacos to be found anywhere in Milwaukee. I would eat here every day if I could.
