Cabrito

In my garden of gastronomic delights, roast pork definitely has a starring role but will roast goat win its way into the picture? “Cabrito”, Spanish for roast baby goat, serves up the Mexican food we’ve all come to know and love with a slight twist. The guacamole rivals many mainstay Mexican spots south of Union Square but what you really come here for is the dish it owners named the restaurant itself after: Cabrito…Sour orange, garlic and chili rubbed goat. Slow roasted and served chopped with salsa borracha & warm flour tortillas. It is indeed as delightful as the description itself but if baby goat just simply isn’t your cup of tea, the el pastor tacos are always a favorite. Although not the best Mexican I’ve had in the city (that title still goes to Barrio Chino), Cabrito is still worth checking out. It’s the perfect place to kick back with some friends and enjoy something new in the West Village.
