El Cabrito was delicious. They had a tray of taco special for $35 bucks which included 20 tacos. There were al pastor, pollo, carnitas and barbacoa. All were delicious with plenty of limes, cilantro and onion, whole jalapeños, salsas and green onions. The green salsa was our favorite, lots of flavor, bright, fresh and had chunks of avocado. Highly recommend. We will be back Tuesday to try the pupusas and more tacos for taco Tuesday ($1.50 each). Service was wonderful. The lady there was friendly and quick to respond.

I was dogsitting last week for friends in Pasadena last week, and popped into El Cabrito from seeing their "quesobirria tacos" advertising flag out front. This is little more than a taqueria, and it seems like table service is little more than an afterthought. I say this not bc the staff weren't friendly and appreciative, but more that the menu is mostly a la carte, they don't have fountain drinks, and chips and salsa costs $3.99 a basket, instead of complimentary like most places around the area. So my suggestion if you are local, just get carryout and skip the chips and salsa and overpriced cans of soda. The waittress seemed to doing double duty with phones and food prep and I even witnessed some confusion with other guests who ordered at the counter and then sat down. I *think* you are supposed to approach the counter and say you want to dine-in. It's an awkward set up. That all said, the birria tacos were on the menu with another dozen or so style tacos for $3 each. They came out quickly and were filling and hot. The consomme was a smaller container than I am used to for this item, but it was good. All in all, a good value and good food, but I will get carryout next time to skip extraneous items like the chips and a tip.

We've been getting food here since late summer. I would guess we've ordered 7-8 times and that means it's pretty good. We've tried many of the different taco meats, Taco Tuesday specials, pupusas, and meals with sides. This is way better food than a lot of Americanized taco places, however, the quality is inconsistent. The chicken taco is dry, dry, dry. I mean very dry and flavorless. We've tried them several times and they're dry each time. The tortillas are fresh, homemade, and tasty. The chorizo and pork tacos are much more flavorful and moist. There have been times when you can tell the chorizo has been reheated one too many times. We've had the steaks be dry and lacking flavor or very moist and flavorful at different times. The rice side has also been dried up, clumpy, and almost crunchy on more than one occasion. The biggest ongoing issue is the large blobs of fat that are in the pork tacos. I should have taken a picture of how many flabby fat chunks I pulled out of our last order, but I only have a picture of one of the tacos which shows pieces of diced fat (not to be confused with diced onions) and it's happened so much that I can no longer eat without sorting the fat chunks out first. I could have filled two tacos with the fat I pulled out of my last order. Whoever is cutting the meat certainly knows they are leaving these pieces in there and then proceeds to grill these pieces of fat that we're spending money on. I just hope they will take their customers feedback because I really do like the food and want to continue ordering, but I want to know that I'm not spending money on something inedible. This place is good and just needs to work out small problems. Also, the person who is complaining about Spanish speaking people in a restaurant owned and operated by Spanish speaking people should learn to use Google translate and stop being rude and ignorant or stay home and eat boiled hotdogs instead.

Shrimp, chicken, and steak tacos with their pork and cheese pupusas

Love this place new to the area happy to have authentic Mexican food their tacos are phenomenal and they are always friendly

The food wasn't as good as I wanted. The prices were reasonable but I've had some good Mexican food and this wasn't it.

The staff are friendly. And the food. Where do I start. The food is amazing. I didn't take pictures of everything and don't know all of the names of the dishes-I forgot. Sorry. But I literally went back the next night to order the same tacos because I was craving them. I got the tacos combo-three birria tacos. It came with black beans and rice. I don't like black beans in the first place, but I really didn't care for these. They were a bit crunchy. But other than that the tacos and rice were amazing. It comes with salsa verde which was bomb and consume. And a red sauce that was really nice and smokey. My mom had a meal that came with shrimp in a red sauce, cactus, a stick of cheese, veggies, chicken steak, and the red and green sauces. She loved it. My sister got enchiladas with salsa verde. And my other sister got almost exactly what my mother ordered but it came with a fried egg instead of shrimp. Everyone loved their dishes. But note that the Pasadena location doesn't serve alcohol. My family said that a margarita would have gone perfectly with the meal. When I went back the next night, it was late so they were blasting reggaeton (not too loudly). And I loved it. If I lived closer, I would come here multiple times a week. And while we were eating, A LOT of customers came in and out ordering takeout, so you know it's good.

My torta, after I was finally able to get it out of the paper. Disgusting.

We used to love this place and go there all the time! But we ordered two nachos with carnitas to go tonight and we were not only disappointed, but utterly shocked! The carnitas that I have always had there before was shredded and had very little fat. What we got tonight was literally ALL FAT and was cut into cubes about a half inch in size and then some of it looked like random sizes and shapes. It literally looked like the fat was trimmed off of a pork roast and the good part was kept for something else and we were given the part that should have been thrown away! We called and the waitress offered a replacement so we asked for chicken instead. But when we went to pick it up, the two persons in the kitchen glared at us while they prepared it. It made us feel very uncomfortable and we ended up just throwing it away. We will now be going there again. I usually don't do reviews, but I feel as though I have to warn others. By the way, coincidently the waitress said they are under new management. read more

My husband and I stopped here this evening for dinner and WOW. The amount of food you get and the prices you pay are unbelievable. We had the chicken tinga tostadas ($8 for 4!) and combo #1 ($7) with 1 chicken and 1 carnitas taco (comes with rice and beans). Everything was delicious and the sauces that came on the side made everything even better. My personal favorite was the carnitas taco, it had so much flavor! The place is unassuming - we almost left before we went in because it looked like a hole in the wall. I'm so glad we tried it - we will definitely be back! Give it a shot! read more

From the moment we walked into this lively restaurant to the wonderful aromas, we knew this was going to be a stellar experience! We were greeted promptly and told we could pick a table. We were promptly brought menus and asked for what drinks we wanted. I opted for a Tropical Pina Margarita and hubby got Sandia Chile Margarita. Came very quick and we liked them so much we got another. We could have stopped at the house made salsa that had a smoky flavor and didn't look like it was poured from a jar in the back. The chips were outstanding. We opted to get some queso dip and it was just as good! Better than any other place we have had it. For dinner, my hubby opted for the Cameron Tacos on corn tortillas as he is a celiac. He remarked that it was the first time that he had corn tacos that were *solid*-meaning the taco stayed in shape and didn't fall apart while eating. The slaw was crispy, not overpowering, the pico de gallo was spicy, but not in the burn your tongue sense. He also liked the accompanying black beans and rice. I had Michelin Tacos. The first bite of mine was a bacon wrapped shrimp in a flour taco with a very pleasing sauce. The second one I had was chicken and it was just amazing. Nice slices of chicken with a pretty spicy sauce. Since I'm a big fan of spicy, this was amazing! The last one was steak, and I mean a nice piece of steak! Very tender, not overcooked! I couldn't tell you my favorite, because they were all equally delicious. Juan took very good care of us! Great evening and we will most certainly be back! To all of you that may like the *larger restaurants* on Ritchie Highway, please do yourself a favor and seek one of these stores out!

Maybe someone sent me the wrong thing? I don't bite. But, it was delicious. The sauce actually greatly complemented everything, and it was evenly seasoned.

I started with the cream of crab soup. The portion was solid and there were huge chunks of crab throughout, which I definitely appreciated. However, the base itself just wasn't to my liking. The crab was there, but the flavor profile didn't quite hit for me. For my entrée, I ordered the oyster platter with two sides -- regular fries and coleslaw -- and added a shrimp basket because when you're at a seafood spot, you might as well go all in. The meal definitely satisfied my hunger, but if I'm being honest, it tasted more boxed and frozen than freshly battered. That homemade, crispy, just-dropped-in-the-fryer feel wasn't quite there. On the bright side, the fries were good -- hot, crisp, and dependable. The coleslaw was exactly how I like it: balanced, not too sweet, not too heavy on the mayo. Where they truly shine is customer service. The staff was accommodating, friendly, and very helpful throughout the visit. Service can make or break a dining experience, and they definitely delivered on that front. Overall, while this visit didn't completely wow me food-wise, the cleanliness and service alone are enough for me to give them another shot. I'll be back to try something different and will happily update my review. Stay tuned.

This is my third time here. The food has been consistently good. Of course I got the stacker. I…read moreate the last bite before getting out of the car. The service is great here too. The ambiance is casual. There's a nice patio outside. I decided to eat out there. I love this place!

Two Rivers Steak & Fish House

I have not had a meal at Two Rivers steakhouse in probably a year and a half. My wife and I used to…read morego there often when they first opened. But honestly, we thought it became too expensive over the years (maybe I'm just getting old). With that said, I sat at the bar (service was excellent), and ordered the 16 ounce prime rib, $55, with a Caesar salad and sweet potato, and mozzarella cheese sticks to start (~$10). I ordered a tea to drink, but requested a beer (~$8)with the steak. Total bill was ~$80. The prime rib was ordered and delivered medium rare, and was by far one of the best steaks I've had in probably three years. It honestly could've been cut with just the fork, no knife required, and was well seasoned. The sweet potato mash was well seasoned, without being over seasoned. And the Caesar salad was super crisp, and I happen to like creamy Caesar dressing. The mozzarella cheese sticks look like they're hand dipped (not sure) and very good. And delivered with extra marinara per request. The bartender even remembered to pour the Sam's seasonal beer (winter something, it was not the typical winter lager which i like as well) when the steak was delivered. I did not have to ask. That was really nice. Also, I did not have to ask for a refill on the tea, it just magically appeared. Plus, the appetizer, the salad, and the steak, we're all delivered at the right timing intervals. I did not feel rushed, nor do I have to wait. So, was it expensive? Maybe a little bit. But the service made up for it, and that's all the difference.

Absolutely loved our dinner for 12 last night. Our server Molly Brown was amazing. Kept up with all…read moreof our needs and added a little extra to make things perfect. We'll be back when we are in the area. Thanks again Molly.

Low salt, tender veggies, and equal balance of tofu serving this is a nice option that can be modified (sans tofu). The crispy beef came out piping hot and perfectly crispy. I prefer much less sauce, but my fault for not asking. This was otherwise a delicious preparation and ample enough to take home for seconds. The service was so welcoming and friendly, quick, and attentive. Our waters never went empty.

When I call and order this place does not have queso I have been dumbfounded by there menu options as it does not equip to my needs when you offer queso on your menu then you should have it in stock. Not only on wednesdays!!! Thank you please update menu to reference this! If I could give 0 star I would. read more
