How Ordering at Cabritos Works
The tacos are ordered by the piece, and each one arrives with a tortilla and meat only. Your server then brings a tray with chopped onion, cilantro, limes, pineapple and hot sauces so you can dress the tacos yourself. Three or more is a common order. The menu goes beyond tacos to burritos, quesadillas, taquitos, whole fried fish, seafood soup and shrimp cocktail. A few reviewers call the steak burrito one of the best they have had.
Cash, Water and Other Things to Know
Cabritos takes cash only, though reviewers say Zelle is accepted, and there is an ATM nearby. Bottled water is $2, there is no tap water, and chips and salsa are charged, so drinks and extras can add up. Some reviewers found the meat overcooked or the margaritas small for the price, while others rank the food above every other Mexican place on the island. The restaurant does not take reservations.
