When the craving for bold, fresh, made-to-order Mexican hits, Cabo Fresh Mexican Grill never misses -- and with five Long Island locations, they've got you covered! Here's what we devoured: * Birria Tacos (3-pack): Soft corn tortillas dipped in house consommé, filled with tender beef barbacoa, jack cheese, onions & cilantro -- grilled to perfection, plus that dipping consommé on the side is next-level! * Chips & Queso Blanco: Creamy queso, perfectly paired with crispy chips -- true crowd-pleaser energy. * Chips & Guacamole: Fresh guac and crunchy chips that hit just right. * Hot Honey Grilled Chicken Nachos: (Not officially listed but sounded like a spicy-sweet dream -- hope to see it on the menu soon!) * Ahi Tuna Baja Bowl: A fresh, hearty bowl vibe--think big flavor, no fuss. Baja Bowls are basically burritos without the tortilla. * CinnaChips: Crispy flour tortilla chips coated in cinnamon sugar, served with caramel dipping sauce -- dessert-winning indulgence. From the flawless greeting at the counter to our plates being served with personality, the team's energy matched the bold flavors. Cabo Fresh is proof that great food and service can make any meal feel like a mini celebration. read more

Nice place. Good food. A little expensive. Employees are ok. Dining room is usually clean.

Me and the hubby LOVE getting takeout from Cabo Fresh. It lives up to the name - super fresh ingredients, absolutely delicious combinations and the place is almost always busy! So glad this is our local burrito spot. read more

Ordered food , never put chips in the bag, the quesadillas insides weren't even in the tortilla which wasn't even cooked. When I called then told me I could bring it back for a refund I explained we live 20 mins away and was told well idk what I can do for you. Rude staff. Horrible food. read more

Food is consistently good. Service is spot on. Ambiance is what it is ... depends on who is present. I will no longer be going there ... I hate cheap bastards.. or the feel I am around that kind of BS. My understanding is one scoop of protein and one scoop of everything else goes on the taco. I left pissed because the guy making my Taco put 1/2 scoop of steak and when I called him on it he said I could buy extra... such BS. Last time I felt cheated I left no tip... maybe that is why ? Don't know? Food is expensive... they should pay their employees well so tipping is not necessarily. $20 bucks for a few Tacos and you want a $5 tip ... FORGET IT!!! read more

Been going here for multiple years since they opened, other than the prices rising a bit it has always been tremendous. Love the staff and if your trying decide between Cabo and chipotle take Cabo everyday of the week, they're not even comparable read more

Delicious locally owned version of Chipotle. We had two bowls with meat and both were really good. Nice atmosphere. A little pricey for a bowl. read more

Love coming to Cabo Fresh - a great alternative to Chipotle if it is more convenient for you, from a location perspective. Their chicken, white rice, lettuce, corn and all are all very fresh tasting... it's Cabo "Fresh" - makes sense! You will enjoy the great ambiance with their upgraded tables, chairs, and booths at this location. It is close to the Smith Haven Mall, which a main attraction in the area. Service at the counter was also top-notch and very accommodating. They even had Chiluba hot sauce packets on deck upon request. Highly recommend trying this tasty Mexican cuisine! read more

I always love eating at Cabo. The employees are super nice, the ingredients are fresh, and it's a great place to come with friends.

The ambiance inside the store is pleasant and there are plenty of seating options. The service was normal. The food at Cabo "Fresh" was indeed fresh and pretty flavorful. However, in dishes such as the chicken burrito, the chicken was not warm. Besides that, Cabo Fresh offered a pleasant experience. Its pricing of food is on par with most other Mexican-style restaurants nearby, but their fresh ingredients definitely make it worth a try. read more

This place is a great eat! I love the food here and it is greatly served. It is just like chipotle and it is great. the service is great also. this place does not have a lot to look at inside but it is still a great eat. Very nice read more

Spectacular food and awesome service. This place is affordable and is worth the price. The chicken is perfect and the portion sizes are amazing this is a place I will definitely make a return to. read more

The food was pretty bland. Everything else was ok, but very little taste to my order. Probably wouldn't be back.

Decided to stop here because I was starving. Ok got the 3 tacos. I added guacamole which is a little extra. The tacos were very good. The price was about $12 for the meal. They are allowing dine in and they have the plastic for safety. One of the staff appeared to b annoyed because I didn't understand the menu; however that isn't enough for me not to return. read more

My favorite spot to have lunch after the movies. What makes this place great, everything is fresh! It's an assembly line setup. You can pick and choose what you want, I like to order a spicy bowl with a bed of spinach, grilled shrimp and mango. Go Cabo! It's a big serving, being a little expensive is the only minus. Guacamole? They're not giving it up that easy. I like to have guac but its extra. What I'll do is, I'll get chips and a side of guac. Now, I have guac with my meal. Bazinga! They're serving a few good Mexican beers, one of my favorite lunch spots. read more

Fresh and delicious food with a staff that patiently walks you through your options. A great place for a quick, tasty meal.

I randomly ordered this off door dash and 100% will say fresh food and way better than chipotle. It was not heavy and the veggies and meat felt fresh and not weeks old. read more

Cabo is one of the few places that has not downloaded their food and increased the cost! Food and service are great and the cost is still very fair. read more

Hey you guys are still great BUT I went to order online and you guys do not have peppers and onions as an option to add :( super disappointed!!! I went to add a special request instead but it's turned off :/ read more

If you would like to try a tex-mex restaurant that is takeout yet do delicious, let's go Cabo. Ty hey accommodate to allergies by changing their gloves, they have lots of food options (plus catering) and greet you with a kind smile. I never had a bad experience here and I have eaten here at least 100 times. read more

They take Wolfe wallet!!! I used to come here once a week with my friend after class every week and I haven't been here in forever but I'm happy to see that it's still as good as I remember they since added fish and shrimp to the menu so you can get all the menu items you usually get with seafood which is nice. They also have a nacho bowl type thing here too and the portions are pretty big so it's worth checking out. read more

Cabo Fresh Mexican Grill - they have shrimp here!!!! - Mexican Near Me - Stony Brook, New York

Can't go wrong with cabo fresh! Family owned Chipotle style with a wide selection. I usually get the pork on a bed of salad. I saw they had a fish special that I can't wait to try. Nice layout and comfortable seating. Our new quick bite before watching a movie! A customer loyalty card would be a huge perk! (Good idea Janet!) read more

This is my absolute favorite place for "fast food" mexican!! If you think you like Chipotle or Moe's try this place and you won't turn back. I have tried their quesadillas, burritos, churros, shrimp, steak, guacamole, and I love it all! The set up is just like a Chipotle, all the customization options help make your meal perfect. But, this place has way more options that Chipotle. The ingredients are SO fresh you can taste the difference. The first time I tried this place I was hooked. Eveyrthing just tasted so fresh and with the mix of vegetables, meat, salsas, cheese and more in my burrito it was heavenly. What I find great about this place was the choices, right off the bat you can choose a flour or wheat tortilla for your burrito or quesadilla. Brow or white rice, multiple beans to pick from, ect. They also have vegetarian options such as tofu, shrimp and salmon. Personally I love to order quesadillas with rice inside, and they had no problem doing so for me! The cheese was melted perfectly. What I absolutely love is their variety of hot sauces and the LARGE bottles they have. Cholula sauce is my favorite and they have multiple bottles along with Tabasco sauce, and many more and their different flavors. This place is filled with helpful workers who are happy to serve you. Go here the next chance you get you won't be disappointed!!!!!!! read more

Cabo is great - I prefer it over Chipotle since it isn't as salty. I like the options, but I do wish the pinto beans weren't cooked with pork. read more

Alway so good and fresh One of my favorites is the shrimp in my salad. Also, their burritos are so filling and delicious read more

I really wanna love Cabo but I just can't. I don't know why but I can't. I guess I just really love Chipotle when it comes to Mexican fast food places other than Taco Bell. We ordered two shrimp quesadillas. Not bad but not super exciting either. A little too much cheese for our arteries. Shrimp was nice since Chipotle doesn't offer that option. Also got a side of guacamole. Not bad but OK. I make better guac at home if you ask me. If you're out and want Mexican from some place fast goto Chipotle. The party in my mouth came from the house made Pico de Gallo. Something so beyond simple it was perfect. Fresh tomatoes and cilantro ugh so GOOD! That alone I'd like to take home and just eat with some chips and have a margarita or two on the rocks, hold the salt please. Another winner was the huge (ok maybe not ginormous but rather large) bottle of Cholula (see pic). In case you didn't know Cholula is my favorite hot sauce thus far. Also I'd like to mention I did have their burrito bowl back I'd say 4 months ago? Again I'm truly sorry that hands down AGAIN Chipotle FTW! Not Cabo. Chicken is not like Chipotle. Cabo does not get a good enough sear on their chicken like Chipotle. Overall I'm giving Cabo a 3. It's a reasonable place to eat before the movies or after shopping at Marshall's Homegoods or the mall if you're not in the mood for great Italian food at O Sole Mio. Maybe one day they'll achieve the great sear on their meat like Chipotle. Not sure if I'll be back for anything except for the Pico de Gallo and the huge bottle of Cholula. read more

Cabo Fresh Mexican Grill - 2 Shrimp Quesadillas - Mexican Near Me - Stony Brook, New York

I LOVE cabo fresh. It's chipotle/moe's-styled in that you go down the "assembly line" type counter and pick exactly what you want. The ingredients are always really good and really fresh. The workers are extremely organized, friendly, and always working with urgency. I normally get a burrito bowl but I have had the nachos and the tacos and they're all excellent. The nachos are filling and not too overwhelming - they give the perfect amount of toppings!! The tacos are great in that they're big enough to fill the average person and if you have leftovers, they still taste really good when you finish them later. I also always get a strawberry mango smoothie when I'm there - its better than jamba juice in my opinion (and I love jamba juice). Anyone that left a bad review about this place probably just went on a bad day with some unforeseen circumstances. read more

Cabo Fresh Mexican Grill - Tacos in the foreground, nachos in the background - Mexican Near Me - Stony Brook, New York

This place is okay. I wouldn't recommend coming here. I did not really like the food here. And it was pretty cold by the time I got it home. I got chicken quesadillas and chicken nachos. The chicken is bland - did not enjoy it. Not sure why this place is so busy. read more

I just finished lunch here for the first time and it was very good! After reading and hearing so many positive reviews, I decided to finally try it. I got a chicken salad. I was able to get spinach instead of the typical romaine that most places offer. The chicken is very tasty and not dry at all. My boyfriend got the pork salad. I tried some of it and was so good! Guacamole was $2.10 extra...it is a little more than most places, but the guacamole is so good! It is worth it. I would come back! So much better than chipotle! read more

Love going here. Much better than Chipotle. The food is fresh, ridiculous tasty and you get a good value for your meal. My staff and I enjoy coming out to cabo for meetings and I enjoy surprising my fiancé sometimes with a rice bowl for dinner. Service is extremely fast, cleanliness is excellent, and I am a huge fan of the mango salsa. I will definitely continue coming here on my own, as a staff, and catering with cabo for events. read more

Cabo Fresh Mexican Grill - Mexican Near Me - Stony Brook, New York

I am not exaggerating when I tell you this is the first negative review I've left in my ENTIRE life. Left plenty of positives but don't believe in unnecessary negativity. So this is a first. Having spent the past month studying for the bar exam, I decided to take the day off for my birthday to go the movies with my family. Though there are plenty of movie theaters closer (some even nicer), I drove over 30 minutes to Stony Brook so that I could get Cabo before it. I come here whenever I am in the area and genuinely enjoy the food. It's expensive (they charge extra for tortillas if you get a bowl, queso, etc.) but I usually have no problem paying for it, especially when they are a mom and pop shop. When it came time to put the meat in the bowl this time around, I am not speaking in hyperbole when they put precisely 1 fork full of pork in it. The employee preparing the bowl grabbed the tongs almost as if he was preparing to remove a splinter, not serving food. After having agreed to pay extra for two other things already, when I asked if they were putting more pork, the gentleman said it would be an extra $2.50. Asking to speak to a manager, a gentleman who witnessed the whole thing unfold came over. After voicing my frustration and explaining that I've been here plenty of times and drive 30 minutes out of the way to come here, he yesed me to death, with no offer to remedy the situation. I was not looking for any freebie and truly would have not even accepted one, I just wanted what I paid for. I then left without any food extremely upset that I just drove all the way to Stony Brook for no reason. Walking out of the place while leaving the food right at the register is another first for me, but this was so egregious that it caused me (a man with over 8 years restaurant experience both private and corporate) to do something I would often criticize others for doing so. I am embarrassed that not only have I recommended this place to others but that I suggested it was worth driving out of the way for. Now with egg on my face, I attempt to correct my error of recommendation, and advise people DO NOT EAT HERE unless you don't mind paying significantly more than a chipotle or moe's for a bowl of rice with management and employees who are there only to collect a paycheck. read more

Good food. Plenty of stuff to choose from on the menu. Good seating. They have five booths, 11 tall chairs with tables ,and seven small tables ,and let me not forget they have baby seats and outdoor seating,so there's plenty of seating. My experience here is very pleasant and I will be back here it's in the same mall as the AMC theater the red lobster ,marshals and a few other places, like Strathmore bagels. I suggest if you come ,come hungry. read more

Cabo fresh by far lives up to their name! Their food is always extremely fresh and packed with flavor. I always get a rice bowl with spinach on the bottom, no beans, and lots of guac (which costs extra, but absolutely worth it). The staff is very friendly and does a great job with assembling the food and making it how you would want. I like to come her often with another person because I always have a coupon where you can buy one entrée and get one free with the purchase of two large drinks, its a great deal! I suggest visiting this place if you're in the mood for a quick bite of some tasty Mexican food. read more

I don't see the hype of this place. There are more sauce/topping options than chipotle, but the rice bowls were very mediocre.

Cabo Fresh is my go to spot whenever I'm craving Mexican food! I always order the same thing which is a baja bowl with shrimp and I get [rice, cheese, lettuce, pico, mango salsa, corn salsa, cabo salsa and habanero salsa] LOL I really love salsas also I get guacamole on the side and occasionally chips. All the flavors are so crisp especially the grilled shrimp since usually they grill it when you order it so it's sizzling fresh!! Best place for both lunch and dinner because the food is filling and pricing is great! If you are a SBU student you can use Wolfie Wallet to pay which is an added perk! read more

3 stars ONLY for service! 0 stars for mediocre food! Food is usually ok, though bland for "Tex-mex". Service is always great, everyone's smiling and they work rather quickly! Prices are standard compared to their competitors. My Big Gripe, however, is that they have no right to call their chicken "spicy"... slathering it in hot sauce is chicken with hot sauce which tastes so watered down by the absolute (and presumably unsalted) blandness of the chicken which wouldn't even be bad if anything else had even a minor flavoring. The guacamole is extra, and I'm guessing this is where they make money charging more than a dollar for 2 heaping table spoons of it; it tastes fine but it's just mashed avocado with onions(guacamole without chunks? Why?). The salsa had no spice either which is mind boggling, whose palate is this for? A new born babies I'd guess!). I have a sensitive palate, I love flavor especially in my Mexican food, doubley for chicken quesadillas and the only flavor I got was from the self-serve soda machine! Not going to lie, I'd go back because even the unhealthy options are so bland I doubt you'd be in a single health crisis from eating here. Not to throw in over-kill, but as a Tex-Mex spot, they neither represent Mexico, nor Texas in their food, it tastes more like I'm eating at the geriatric ward for people with IBS. read more
