I only got to try the lengua burrito and Peruvian chicken. The lengua burrito was so good and the lengua so tender 👌! The Peruvian chicken on the other hand lackes the Peruvian chicken spices and just tasted like chicken barbecue. It was good but tasted like chicken barbecue.. I plan to try the street tacos and quesadillas next time since this is the same group as el chupacabra and i loved those there 🍴😊.

The sibling of the urban legend El Chupacabra, El Cabrito seeks to dish out homey Mexican food without the stress of Googling the place and haggling for a parking. Of course, the street food charm is maintained, albeit with airconditioning.Managed by Mexicali, this unassuming Mexican joint is more than just a taqueria. The menu is vast, and even the dessert is a legacy.Highs:1. Pork barbecue: Yes, a favorite Pinoy dish in a Mexican joint, standing out because of its smokey grilled taste, and tender fatty morsels. Akin to Reyes barbecue's skewers, the meat is juicy and flavorful on its own.2. Carne Asada Gringa: their version of quesadilla. The flat bread is lightly seared, but maintains a delicate balance of chewy and crispy. The beef is excellent, tender all throughout and has that smokey grilled flavor. Served with 3 kinds of sauces, watch out for the green one, which is the spiciest but pairs well with the quesadilla. Seemingly, this one tasted better than the El Chupacabra version I had before.3. Chicken Skin chicharrones: Jollibee's chickenjoy stripped of its skin, at least it tasted that way. Crisp and crackling, the skin is sinful. Pairs well with the vinegar dip but also blends well with the white sauce. Seriously, Jollibee should come up with this soon.4. Nachos Especiales: A huge platter of crisp nachos, showered with loads of ground beef, chili, jalapeno, and beans. The beef is consistent, flavorful and good. The nachos remains crisp even after a while. It can get really spicy but one can request for a glass of milk to dissipate the heat.5. Lord of the Wings: Badass wings drenched in fiery red chili sauce. A word of caution, not for the faint of heart. The wings are crisp on the exterior but a bit inconsistent, with the meat coming out a tad dry. Still, the sauce is generous, a play on the classic buffalo sour zest and of course an insane level of spiciness. Order the platter and it comes with a huge serving of thick cut fries that are also quite good, no lard here.6. Butterscotch Pie: Homey comfort food. The meringue top is attractive and addicting, while the custard filling is oozing with pleasure on the palate. Perfect neutralizer for all the off-the-charts flavors here.Lows:1. Flying Chupacabra Hot Wings: With the LOTW setting up a high bar, this one fails. The wings lack flavor, despite being nicely crisp and crunchy. Too tame an option, as they should create something in between the LOTW and this one.A good move by Mexicali, riding on the success of Chupacabra and bringing its signature dishes to the more privileged crowd. The location is good, the atmosphere more inviting, and the food consistent. Look for El Cabrito to develop its own loyal following and craft its own legend.
