Used to be great. Food is actually seasoned, but won't be back anytime soon. Found 2 strands of hair in our queso and 1 in my daughter's quesadilla. I understand accidents happen, but there's no excuse for 3 hairs in ONE table service. Service??? Depends on who you get. There are a couple of good servers that go above and beyond...but that doesn't seem to be the standard anymore. We've had one, very obviously stoned waitress, the read more

Neat, Clean Place. Service is always prompt, couteous, prompt and helpful. Food is fantastic!...authenic Mexican dishes, and prepared with lots of neat spices/flavors...I'd highly recommend their Hawaiian Chicken, tamales and Burrito Grande... read more

The staff was very, very friendly and always ask if I needed something else. I don't have any issues with the staff. They were marvelous. The food on the other hand left a lot to be desired. I had two tamales and they were basically tasteless. Grease soaked flour. They were covered with unseasoned ground beef. You could actually see the grease floating on the plate. They just was no taste. It was a totally bland meal. They had no hot sauces or condiments on the table other than salt and pepper. I'm not sure it would've helped but I gave it a try. It's a great place, but they need to update the quality of their food considerably. Those tamales were probably some of the worst I have ever had in all of my years. It was definitely a bit pricey for what it was. If it would've been awesome, I wouldn't have minded the price at all. read more

For a small town, this place knows how to hustle. We were on our way back from TX and found this little joint and it did not disappoint. I have the street tacos with beef and green sauce. Excellent. Nice little stop. Will be back. read more

Reviewed April 29, 2018 Health Score 77 out of 100 A friendly restaurant with great Mexican food. The staff and owner are very friendly and stay focused on serving the customer. It is obvious that the owner takes a lot of pride in his restaurant. The folks that work there seem to really enjoy being there and attending to the customers. The food portions are generous and the service is prompt. I had the carne asada, very good. My wife had the Pollo Adobado. It is a marinated chicken breast covered in grilled onions and melted cheese. Very tasty! Note: This review was originally posted on Tripadvisor by Spike S. read more

Good service and great food. They have the best selection and atmosphere. Antonio and family are the sweetest.

Kind of an emergency stop, but ended up being really good! GPS took us past it a tiny bit but was pretty accurate. We had the hawaiian and added steak. The food was delicioso and came out very quickly. Server was matter of fact, but took great care of us. They didn't have a changing table, but were family friendly nonetheless! If we lived nearby, we'd definitely be back! read more

Our food was nice and hot. Chips were warm. Salsa was very salty but ok. I got the special with bacon, chicken, shrimp and veggies. It was delicious. My husband got an enchilada combo and said it was "OK". We are traveling and got hungry for Mexican. read more

When we got there it was about a 5 minute wait, then after we got seated we got our drink. The service was great so was the food. The prices were reasonable for the amount of food you got. The server was really nice and was patient. The restaurant itself was clean and did not seem to dirty the seats we're comfortable and spaced out nicely. It was not loud in the restaurant for the amount of people that were in the restaurant read more

We had the Cancun molcajete. Shrimp, chicken and beef with poblanos peppers, etc. Delicious. Anastasia's service was very helpful and friendly. read more

Pleasantly surprised by how yummy the food was. I recommend the lunch special #14 shrimp on rice with queso. The beans taste like we made them at home soooo good. Service was very quick and friendly. Clean place with a nice bar. read more

The food was garbage. I ordered a burrito, enchilada, what they call chilli con queso, and the supreme nachos. Nothing was made as described on the menu. There was no flavor what so ever. The nachos were loaded with shredded lettuce which actually had more flavor than The whole meal. I feel very sorry for the young lady who had to serve us the meal. I could get more flavor out of a dried up McDonald's hamburger. I DO NOT recommend this restaurant to anyone the prices were very high for what they served. This is a warning do not go to this establishment!!!!! read more

What?? A good Mexican place in Vinita, Oklahoma?? Super!! It's a great change from the Sonic next to the hotel! So I get to travel here once and awhile to visit one of the frozen bread dough plants. Seems like a lot of meat and potatoes in this area... Where's the food??? Yes there's miles of diners. But I need more! I need Mexican!! Well, I've had better but considering the location I'm willing to let them have less than fantastic chips. The salsa wasn't as burning hot as I thought it would be which for me was great. I had one of my faves: chili relleno. It was stuffed with beautiful creamy cheese and the breading was light and crispy. It was a little greasy and soggy in places. The service was very nice and the meal was very reasonable. I'd like to go back and try some tacos or fajitas. read more

Absolutely sucks food was all wrong didn't get what we ordered chips were stale. Food had no flavor absolutely disgusted with el cab. An ex employee of el cab told me they had roaches in the the kitchen and it flooded bad read more

I have always enjoyed this place as an after work place to go. However recently, I've had someone at our table find a human hair in their food the last 3 visits this past year, the final one happening today. And there was not COVID precaution taken, no rearranging seating to encourage a social distancing practice and no staff members were wearing masks. It was a bit disheartening. It may be awhile before I decide to return. read more

Food was very quick and good but it was just missing something. I'd still come back to try something else but didn't hit the 4 star for me. FYI if you get the large guacamole, be prepared, it is more than enough for 4 people but was missing that lime taste I was hoping for. Chips were the good non stale style and the salsa was my favorite type not too hot but just right! read more

Why five stars? Well, they say that among quality, speed and good price you can have only two, never all three. El Cabritos is the exception. This is our favorite Mexican restaurant anywhere, and we eat out A LOT all over the U.S. read more

I have found the food is much tastier and large quantities at other large Mexican restaurant down the street.

El Cabrito is a great lunch option if you want something a little less barbecued or fried and you happen to find yourself in Vinita, Oklahoma. You might be underwhelmed by the exterior and interior decor, but the minimum 10 waiters who are waiting to assist you will make sure you get what you need well within the confines of your lunch hour (or really, even a lunch half-hour). The chips and salsa are delish, fresh, and plentiful. I think my crew and I go through a minimum of three baskets each visit, not to mention the fact that they give us each our own salsa dishes. It's the little things. I've only been disappointed by one meal there and it's probably because I didn't order well. The fajitas are my favorite so far. The beans and rice are done well. All that for $5? Seriously, folks, there's no reason not to stop by. read more

Wow. I have no words. Beautiful, handcrafted quesadillas with a crunchy exterior and a beautiful gooey inside filled with cheese. Knocked the socks right off my feat gosh darn it. Love the food and the staff. read more

This is an okay dining experience, if you don't mind the "run of the mill" Mexican food. I usually get the chicken burrito. All in all the food is passable, but you don't really crave it. read more

Will have to agree with Laine on this one (surprisingly). Love this restaurant as well.(I am a Mexican food fanatic) This is a great place for family dinners with kids. They have all the great dishes that you look for in Mexican food with really nice people and nice atmosphere and options of seclusion. read more

I like Mexican food. I have eaten at restaurants from California to Florida and Kansas to south Texas. I just don't think it gets much better than El Cabrito. I love their Poblano Relleno. No one makes it like they do. It's a HUGE poblano pepper stuffed with chicken and little white queso or asadero cheese. The chips are thin to average which I like. i don't like thick, cold chips. Their salsa is just right. But most amazing is the speed of service. Your food is delivered in the blink of an eye nearly! Truly amazing speed. They have a large and varied menu and everything I have tried has been very good. We have never had poor service. It's a bright and clean restaurant with interesting murals on the walls. I would never hesitate to recommend El Cabrito to someone. read more

Great service! Great food! I recommend the cheese dip it's great! The piña colada was excellent the best I've had yet! I highly recommend

I loved everything about el cabrito, everything my family order got here at the same time, there was no wait , I recommend the choripollo it's very delicious and for deserts I recommend the flan it taste homemade and their was no wait everyone is very nice and kind .
