Amazing service! 10/10. Amazing food. Ordered Lengua tacos and carne asada torta with a side of beans. The food is out of this world. I'm a Lengua taco fan and the way this was cooked is far better than any other place. You get your moneys worth. Serving size for torta was fair. Serving size for tacos was great. Plenty of meat inside. It's outside eating but the Spanish songs on the radio complete the experience. Can't wait to come back and try the birria tacos. You have to try the chili oil it's super spicey but so flavorful.

I've been coming here for 10+ years, and I've had birria at just about every place in OC. El Cabrito IS THE BEST! It's not the cheapest by far, but worth every dollar for the softest, most juiciest and flavorful meat. Order a plate of 4 tacos and boom, they gotcha on the first bite. There is something special about the birria from here, and there is plenty of parking and outside sitting to seat a party of 10, easy. These are the best tacos in OC hands down, and I know there might be more trendy places and more social media posty places out there in Santa Ana or Anaheim, but I'll stick to this quality over that anyday. I also recommend the agua de piña, agua de naranja or the super creamy horchata to drink. This is homemade mexican food at it's finest.

I haven't been here in many years. A friend suggested we go. The mother/daughter team that run this place are phenomenal. The kitchen and restaurant are super clean. The food is amazing. I had 1lbs of carne asada and my buddy got quesabirria. We will definitely be coming back asap. The portions are enough to feed two but why would you want to share. Get the Marucaya aqua fresca it's delicious and not too sweet.
