    Guac and chips
    Cassie C.

    This place is one of our favorites. I get the steak burrito almost every time. It's hard not to finish the whole thing but the portion size is pretty large. The steak is good quality- tasty. The tortillas are made fresh. I think they make their own chips too. Queso is pretty good for a fast food place. My husband has had almost everything on the menu and he likes everything pretty much, doesn't care for the brisket. Guac is so smooth. The drink selections are great too - lemonade is good and the drink Baja (they have different versions of sodas- it's fun). The staff is friendly and welcoming. They have a good inside, good amount of seating and they have outdoor seating too that's covered. They have a good amount of parking but it can get pretty busy as they share it with a shopping strip.

    Pretty good burritos. It's basically like Chipotle with many more options. The burritos are also pretty massive, as you can really load them up. I do think everything is slightly underseasoned, but the ample options make up for it.

    Large group of kids that continued to act disorderly and yell inside the restaurant.

    This review is SOLELY on the dining experience alone. The food was really great and we enjoyed it along with the portions. Yesterday, my group was dining in the restaurant around 8 pm when a large group of kids from a nearby school showed up with no signs of any parent or guardians in site. There were maybe about 50-75 of them, acting disorderly in the restaurant while they were waiting in line. There were numerous kids who skipped the line, and the group started making chants and booing as if they were at a football game. It was so loud inside that you couldn't even hear yourself talking. On top of that, there were several kids who decided to stand on booths and jump over to skip the line. It was absolute chaos inside the restaurant and everyone dining in seemed annoyed. The staff had no control of the situation and honestly with how disorderly this group was acting, they should have been refused service. They need to institute a rule where anyone under 18 needs to have a guardian. The food was amazing, but the dining experience was a nightmare and we could not enjoy our food with how this large group of kids were acting.

    Fish burrito

    I'm pretty sure this might be my new favorite burrito place! I love all the different options of meat, choices, and ingredients. The sauces they provide are to die for, especially the chipotle mayo. I also absolutely loved their fish burrito! The service is very quick and efficient and the price point is excellent. They give you so much food for the price that you pay. I think I paid about $10 for my burrito and drink, which is a steal.

    I got through college eating Cabo Bob's in Austin and have been to this location in Houston a handful of times. I recently went for a quick casual weekday lunch while I was in the area and Cabo Bob's definitely fit the bill. I came at close to 2pm on a weekday and I have to say this was the emptiest I've ever seen a Cabo Bob's. I'm used to waiting in a line that goes to the door but that definitely wasn't the case this time, so I was happy to walk right up to the tortilla station. My go-to has always been the crispy fish burrito with an ancho chile tortilla. And stuffed to the max ;). Unlike other burrito chains, I really like that Cabo Bob's has sautéed squash & zucchini as well as sautéed onions & peppers. Not to mention the CRISPY fish, which is truly crispy. These for me help CB'd stand apart from those other burrito chains. On my most recent visit, the lady behind the counter was super sweet and asked how my day was going as she was stuffing my burrito. She also brought out a fresh batch of crispy fish for my burrito, and made sure I was aware. I don't think I've had this level of service on any of my visits. While the burrito tasted great and filled me up as always, I will say I was a bit bummed this past visit because the burrito fillings were distributed unevenly. My first several bites on the end were all rice and beans, and it was t until I reached the middle that I actually found some protein. This was a bit disappointing and I ended up breaking my burrito apart so that I could eat it bowl-style just so that I could eat the insides in equal amounts. I will give them credit though for stuffing my burrito to the max...to the point the ancho chile tortilla was starting to break at the seams. I know that this visit was probably a one-off so I'll be giving Cabo Bob's another try in the not-too-distant future and look forward to having my crispy fish burrito again. Perhaps with a side of their heavenly chips.

    Food: my first time eating the tacos and they were delicious! Super good flavor and they tasted so fresh! The cilantro lime (I think?) tortilla were so good, I just remember they were green haha Service: super efficient and friendly Ambiance: lively

    Chips and queso

    Cabo Bob's is the kind of spot that ruins other burrito joints for you. Like, once you've tasted greatness, it's hard to go back to mediocrity, you know? The moment you walk in, the vibes hit you - fresh ingredients, a fun laid-back atmosphere, and the smell of tortillas being pressed right there in front of you like some sort of carb-filled magic show. Those tortillas? life changing. Soft, warm, slightly chewy...honestly, I'd eat one plain and still leave happy. The protein options are insane. Everything tastes clean, flavorful, and like someone in the kitchen actually cares about seasoning. And the toppings? A customizable masterpiece. Pile it on, baby. They somehow make every combo taste like it was meant to be. The staff is always fast, friendly, and ready to roll your burrito like its a competitive sport. The line moves quick, the portion sizes are generous (like "I definitely didn't need that much but thank you" generous), and the prices make you feel like you're getting away with something. Whether you're grabbing a bowl, burrito, tacos, or their ridiculously good chips and queso - you're winning. Everything slaps.

    This place has easily become part of the rotation! Absolutely incredible food, friendly staff, and good vibes. This place is always bustling-- singles, couples, families, friends all under one roof making it a fun place to hang out. Tortillas are made fresh in front of you. Ingredients are well cooked and flavorful! And they don't skimp on the portions one bit. My burrito was easily 3 lbs, and same for those before and after me. Flavors of freshness of the toppings mixed with char from well grilled veggies and chicken, lathered in spicy and crisp salsas makes for the perfect bite that keeps you wanting more! Better than other burrito/bowl chains by a mile! Also, seems like the fish was very very popular, especially in taco form. Might be worth a try! Will keep yall updated as I try other options available! Rating : 4.5/5, easily

    Whew baby where do I start..... so first things first visit Cabo Bobs... you walk in and there's usually. Line out the door so actually don't go during the lunch rush but still go. You go in and there are four tortilla flavors and they make the tortilla in front of you. LITERALLY I got the cilantro tomatillo tortilla and loaded up a brisket burrito. And ooouu the brisket is tender and juicy ... the chicken is good too it's not overcooked or dry like some of its competitors... for $10 I walked out with a burrito that weighed the same as a newborn baby... talk about getting your moneys worth. I did not dine in. However, they have indoor and outdoor seating. Customer service is great too. Parking might be an issue cause the large amount of customers do take the limited spots fast.

    First timer and stoped on a whim on my way back to the office. Walked in to a packed line so I decided to go online to better view my options of the menu. Saw that they had curbside so I ordered there. Burrito steak with the green cilantro tomatillo tortilla, white rice, Baja beans, steak obviously, sautéed onions, sautéed poblano, zucchini and squash, lettuce, cheese, sour cream, cilantro, mango pico, and chipotle creama. Dude!!! OMG. Do you know that taste that you get from a weekend "carne asada" at your tio's house growing up? Well, this has that same effect. I had my own Anton Ego moment with taking it back memory lane to my childhood. The burrito was heavy, full of flavor and very filling. It came whole(Next time. I'll make sure to have them cut it in a half) I also ordered the churro Blondie for dessert. My sweet tooth wouldn't allow me to drive off without taking a bite. Not all that impressed with it. The texture was a bit off for me, not your typical chewy, moist texture that you would expect from a blondie. This was very dense towards the outer edges but it did get better towards the middle. The outer edges had a refrigeration taste to it, but the middle did hit the spot. I'm assuming these are not made in house and are probably outsourced. Regardless, I was happy with my lunch, I would just skip the desert next time lol. BTW, after I placed my order, I got out of line and went into my car to park in their designated area for pick up. My order was out in less than 10 minutes! Friendly staff too, so that's always a plus! Think of it like a Chipotle but for people that like flavor HA!

    Mom's tacos
    Sheila G.

    This place has been on my list to try for awhile the next time I was in town and this was the time. Menu online and at the location was a bit confusing because it didn't show per taco pricing. Online ordering shows $9+ for one which is incorrect. Anyways me, my mom and sis all ordered the 3 taco option #1 fish tacos. I watched them make my tortilla fresh, very cool. Nice and thin. Then they proceeded to make my mom's tacos first and then when they came to make mine and my sisters , they were out of fish , so they made the tacos with the cabbage and the pico on the bottom waited for the fish placed that on top and then drizzled the sauce. This turned out to be a mess, protein needs to be on the bottom. My sis was so irritated that she asked for hers to completely be remade. I went ahead and took mine because I was hungry but was not happy. I feel like they could have assembled better and used more pico & sauce could have had more flavor. We also got chips & queso both were delicious - my fav type of chips. It was packed, especially with a younger crowd but plenty of seating including outside which is appreciated since I had my pup with me.

    Tomatillo tortilla steak burrito
    Jessica L.

    It might be overwhelming seeing the full parking and long line inside but trust me the line moves fast. Cabo Bobs, another establishment from Austin that has stepped into the Houston scene, knows what they are doing. If you are getting a burrito or tortilla on the side, you get four very yummy house made options: buttermilk, tomatillo, ancho chili, and queso. I love being to smell the flavor of the tortilla before I take a bite. I've also tried the brisket nachos and I love it. Also I add the mango pico to everything, super unique! I love this place and will continue to tell my friends about it

    Chips & Queso Reg
    Nick S.

    I'm a big fan of these BYO burrito style restaurant. Places that have unique experiences or a variety of options are where I gravitate, and I had heard great things about Cabo Bob's, and I wasn't disappointed There was a lot construction in the area, and it took a bit of effort to get to this place. I purposefully chose a time for lunch that I thought wouldn't be peak lunch hours (1-2pm), and when I got there there were at least 20 people in front of me in line The interior is decorated with a chill surfer vibe. There are plenty of surfboards, aquatic themes, micro bus, and other hippie/surfer decor. It is very inviting and feels similar to a Jimmy Buffet experience. The vibes a very pacific oriented. Cabo Bob's was inspired by that Californian/Baja vibe, and they decided to open shop in Austin and eventually expand to Houston The menu offers more entrees, flavors, ingredients, toppings, etc than your chipotle's or Freebirds. The proteins are more extensive, and even the tortillas have more flavors Some tips: There is a side menu while in line that has signature entrees and burritos if you don't want to build your own. The chips and queso are delightful. The chips are deep fried and fresh. Use the signature sauces that are placed on the tables. It's almost a steak sauce in flavor. Also, they will put any of the ingredients in your burrito which means your burrito can get massive! Consider getting utensils to help eating anything that may fall out of the burrito Cheers!!

    Ask the Community - Cabo Bob's Burritos

    Does the crispy fish contain dairy? Would the fish burrito without crema be dairy free?

    The crispy fish has egg in the breading (no milk or cream, though). If you got the Fish Burrito without the Chipotle Crema, because it has cream, it would be dairy-free (so long as you don’t count eggs as dairy. Not sure why they do!)

    Are there gluten-free options?

    Essentially, our entire menu offering is gluten-free, with the exception of our flour tortillas and our crispy fish. So, all of our meats, sides, sauces, and salsa are gluten-free. We serve a gluten-free soft corn tortilla for our tacos. We also… 

    Do any of the Tortillas, rice or beans use lard?

    No. We do not use lard in the preparation of the tortillas, rice, or beans. We don’t use lard in any of our recipes.

My only disappointment was the initial service. It wasn't a warm welcome on the walk up to the hostess stand. We had a reservation and though on time, our table wasn't quite ready, which was completely fine. However, there was very little acknowledgment or communication while we waited near the hostess stand outside. We watched several other parties arrive, get greeted, and immediately escorted to their tables. The wait itself wasn't the issue, a simple smile or "we'll be with you soon" would have gone a long way. Thankfully, I didn't let that set the tone for the evening because once we were seated, the experience completely turned around. Our server was attentive, kind, knowledgeable, and gave wonderful recommendations. And the food? Easily one of my favorite dining experiences to date. The smoked sweet potato was such a standout starter dish, the crisp skin, the balance of sweet and heat, and the light, airy whipped cheese made every bite so satisfying. The guacamole was incredibly creamy, with chimichurri and todo seasoning that completely elevated it. The tiradito de hamachi was a party on my taste buds. Perfect slices of hamachi, incredibly ripe fresh peaches, and little kicks of spice that seemed to unlock as you chewed. That peach ponzu was literally heaven--I would buy it by the bottle. The aguachile de camaron was another favorite. Fresh shrimp with crisp cucumber and jicama, avocado, and this sweet-spicy soy combination that was SO good. I could eat this every day. And the branzino might genuinely be the best I've had. Perfectly prepared, a generous portion, and at a fraction of the price I'm used to seeing for branzino elsewhere. Ultimately, the food and our server absolutely won me over. I will absolutely be back. As a matter of fact, I already booked my brunch resy. Food- 5/5 Service- 4.2/5 Ambiance- 4.5/5

While deciding whether our party should wait or go elsewhere, I went to the bar to order a drink. After ordering, the bartender told me that if I was only having a drink, I needed to move. Apparently, sitting at the bar required ordering a meal. At that point, we had experienced enough. Between the unpleasant valet experience, the indifferent response at the hostess stand, the two-hour wait, and then being told I couldn't sit at the bar simply to have a drink while we decided what to do, the overall message was clear: we did not feel welcome here. My wife, the rest of our party, and I decided to leave and have dinner elsewhere. A busy restaurant is understandable. A long wait is understandable. What is much harder to understand is making prospective customers feel unwelcome at nearly every point of contact. Needless to say, this was an exceptionally disappointing experience, and we will not be returning.

    What better way to kick off a Texas trip than getting some highly-regarded tex-mex! Some coworkers…read morerecommended this spot to me so I had to try! It's in the Museum District/Montrose area, so pretty accessible and with plenty of parking. We got seated immediately, and there was a good amount of indoor and outdoor seating, the latter of which was great even on a humid day. The menu was pretty extensive with your Tex-Mex classics like fajitas and enchiladas, with a special for every day of the week. This time was a free upgrade to a large fajita, so I went with the chicken fajitas! It came out after about 20 minutes with all of the fixings and this very yummy buttery sauce. I haven't had too many fajitas, but I'm pretty confident this is a top spot!

    Ambiance: The restaurant is huge and there is tons of seating. The service was also decent. There…read moreis a wide selection of food on the menu as well. Queso: The queso was pretty good! I saw the social media videos of them using real blocked cheese. It was good if you like white cheese queso. There was some tomatoes in there and you can add any meat. The chips were also good they weren't too greasy. Chicken/beef fajitas: This is such a classic dish! The onions on there were really good and had a slight smoky flavor. The beef was good as well and it was cooked to like a medium rare. The chicken was okay it lacked depth.
