Chicken Single Taco on a Cilantro Tomatillo Tortilla
Leah W.

I came across Cabo Bob's on TikTok and am sooooooo happy I finally got to try it. I ordered a Kids Meal Brisket Quesadilla and Single Chicken Taco and I enjoyed it! The Kids Quesadilla was perfect size for myself. I chose the buttermilk flour tortilla, and added brisket, pico de gallo and cilantro inside. I would've given my review 5 stars if it wasn't for the brisket. While the quesadilla itself was good the brisket was a miss. I was expecting more of a smoked brisket, but instead it was more like a pot roast. I wanted the brisket to have more of a char instead of sitting in juice, but now I know! The chips and queso were delicious! Those tortilla chips are perfect. They are thick and salted and paired well with the creamy and flavorful queso! The kids meal also came with a drink and I got the sweet mint tea, so delicious. If you've ever been to Mia's Table and have tried their sweet tea it's very similar. A blend of sweet tea, lemons and mint! Onto the single chicken taco, I chose the cilantro tomatillo tortilla with chicken, grilled onions, poblanos, white cheese and cilantro. That chicken was the star of the show. It was tender, seasoned and all white meat which is hard to find at many places! I really enjoyed the flavor of this tortilla too but I can say that the tortillas tend to get soggy extremely fast so i'd suggest eating it right then and there or if you get a burrito maybe grill it at home. Overall, I can't wait to return, try new items and hope that I can update this review with 5 stars! I wish they had more locations!

Honestly. This blow chipotle out of the water. Super reasonable price, we ordered the fried fish for the bowl and burrito. The fact thst this has mango pico de gallo and fried fish is incredible. The freshly made tortilla flavored with jalapeño and cheese is grandioso

Many salsa choices. I got the spicy jalapeno. The crema actually came with my fish tacos.

I suggested Cabo Bobs after a day of shopping with my mom and sisters. They ordered fish tacos, nachos and burrito bowls. I ordered the Baja fish tacos. Also ordered to go, the steak tacos and a steak burrito bowl. The Baja fish tacos were good. The only thing is there is no seasoning on the fish. Add seasoning and salsas and they are perfect. You get 2 large pieces of fish per taco. The queso and chips were basic, nothing exciting. I love the portion sizes here, the prices and the variety of options. You can get 3 different proteins if you want. They also have a variety of teas and lemonade which sets it apart as well.

Bowl with fresh mango salsa
Traci D.

First and foremost we love Cabo Bob's. From their sweet mint tea to bowls and burritos and our new found love the Churro Blondie. My personal fav is the fish, but I also love that they have sautéed squash and zucchini. Tonight's bowl included fresh made guac, queso, steak, zucchini/squash, brown rice, and black beans. Their sauces are delicious and definitely one for everyone. We have frequented this location including the one in town, as well. The manager/owner was very friendly and insightful. Staff was friendly. The restaurant is welcoming, clean, and fun. Don't forget to ask for your punch card. One punch per entree redeemable upon completion for an entree. The food is delicious and the prices are very reasonable.

Fish Burrito Bowl

Food is always so fresh, flavorful, and delicious! Definitely recommend the fish with lime!

My mostly eaten happy place burrito

I love the burritos from this place. As a burrito enthusiast, I loved freebirds for being Texas local, but their taste is trash, chipotle has good taste, but isn't local. CBs is local and as tasty as either of those places. With customization it's actually better. When I finish work in the early afternoon on Friday's this is my reward for being a patient social studies teacher. Double chicken on any flavor tortilla, white rice, extra beans, lettuce, cheese, red sauce, extra sour cream, and a sauce to give it a twang. Yum, yum, yum, go get yourself one.

Nachos Steak

I ordered the steak nachos. The beef was chunky & extremely tough. My boyfriend ordered the fish tacos, fish was crispy but dry!

Menu

This was a fun experience! We actually enjoyed our time here. There was not a long line and we were truly surprised to see a huge selection of menu. First you have to choose your tortilla and they all taste good. I had the 3 fish tacos. It case with 3 different types of tortillas and they were all good. The fish was crunchy and tastes good and fresh. I can say this. If you haven't tried Cabo Bob's do visit them and give them a try. You will enjoy the laid back atmosphere. The table has a map of places you can pick your next vacation to. The tv displays most activities indoors and outdoors to great adventures. It is great for groups and family I recommend this place to everyone!

Brisket and Queso Burrito with shifter for scale
Brett N.

Why 2 stars? Because I couldn't even finish my burrito. --- --- --- I really hate writing negative reviews and I don't do it often, but I have no choice here. I was driving through this area and spent about 30 minutes analyzing where I'd grab dinner. I eventually settled on Cabo Bobs because the brisket and queso burrito sounded like the heaven. I was even happier to see that there was a drive-thru because my son had fallen asleep in the car while we were driving here. So I got my burrito and then had to grab some gas next door. While the gas was pumping, I couldn't wait and decided to dig into my burrito right away. Each bite somehow got worse. The brisket tasted like the cheapest chuck meat you'd find at Walmart. There were weird peppers in it. The beans were gross. I kept getting a whiff of cleaning solution. As I was forcing it down, I asked myself: "Why? Why are you making yourself eat this?" I always finish my food, even if I don't love it. But logic won out. I ate about 60-70% of it and then decided to toss it. I was hungry later, but that was better than wasting calories on something I didn't like at all. I save 1-star reviews of restaurants for situations where I hate the food and experience bad service. The drive-thru service was slow but polite. That's really the only reason for the 2nd star because this was the worst meal I've experienced in 2024 so far.

I have been coming here since I moved to champions about 18 months ago. Came a month ago for a Yelp elite event and went back this week. Here's the run down. Overall it's great. The tortillas are made right in front of you fresh for your burrito. The meats and flavorful and so many selections like chicken, brisket, fish, etc. For dessert they have churro blondes which are epic. They have pure cane sugar sodas and Gatorade inside. They used to serve breakfast. They had a tree leches coffee that was epic. They unfortunately stopped a couple months ago. The only major issue is the service. When they have a dedicated person on the register the line flows well. This week the guys were bouncing between the register and the line. Meaning taking gloves on and off, meaning more time to get people through. There's a young Latino boy who works the line who isn't very engaged. He's the same one at the Yelp elite event who seemed so apathetic. This week he was making my burrito but someone he knew came and got into line. He was too busy trying to talk to him and mess around and had to ask me multiple times what I wanted on my burrito because he wasn't paying attention. Besides him, it's a great spot for good food. Check it out.

Cabo Bob's Burritos is definitely a gem of a Yelp finds! The parking lot was packed when I arrived - good sign #1. I heard several different individuals talking about how much they love the food at Cabo Bob's and make plans to stop in almost every weekend - good sign #2. Fresh made tortillas - good sign #3. I ate for less than $10 - bonus! This is somewhat like a Chipotle style "fast food" eatery. Service was very good, and the staff was helpful if you weren't sure what to choose to add to your protein source. Atmosphere is laid-back back beachy vibe with good music playing. There are also several tvs situated in the dining area, making it inviting to hang for a while after eating. The food was excellently prepared, and the price point was more than reasonable for the portion size and food quality. People, make Cabo Bob's a go-to if you are in close proximity!

#1 Just Fish Tacos and #8 Bob's Chicken Bowl
Vonya W.

10/7 was our first time trying this place and the food was great.I actually prefer this over chipotle. The service and ambiance was great. The manager even came up and chatted with us a little bit. He also gave our one year old a tortilla while we're ordering food. The mint sweet tea and cherry limeade soda was also refreshing. Recommend this place because everything was a 10/10.

Fish burrito!

Okay this place is amazing! Priced well, don't use seed oils and service is top notch! My wife ordered door dash and door dash totally dropped the ball on us. It was not Cabo's Bobs fault at all but they made up for it and gained a repeat customer. They also give you tons of protein and have in house made soda! Jeremiah was great.

Happy Cinco De Mayo! Met the ladies here to celebrate, & break bread…read more Thank you Jamila for selecting this original location of the Original Ninfas, to host, (our last supper, before your relocation from Houston to Florida.). A place I grew up in as a little girl in Beaumont but never have I've visit this "original" location. Stepping in to this spot felt like a restaurant in the country of Mexico. I ordered the El Henry. I absolutely loved my dish, only thing I would've chance was the cheese enchilada definitely would've swap for a chicken or beef one, or maybe even a flaunta. I really like the Mexican rice, it had little potatoes and carrots in it. Some of the best Mexican yellow rice I've had. They offer a cinco de mayo drink special. The only thing that seem to make it special was the drinks apparently were limited edition menu items. Nothing was special about the prices. The regular menu drinks were a dollar(s) less. The margarita I ordered first was peach coconut. I didn't taste the coconut at all. I swap for the peach strawberry ($14 or 15) which was great, sweet& strong. One did me just right. You get to select up to two flavors for additional $2 (for both verse each, that's a plus. Not worded on menu). If you select a third flavor an additional $2 would be added ($4 in total) I appreciate separate tickets provided after confirmation and no additional gratuity automatically added, which he got tip equally the same or more. When asked about the "empty" patio that was available, he informed us that the entire deck was reserved. Upon departing I noticed from the parking lot individual tables, of separate parties were occupying only 3 tables. It was 8 of us sitting at 2 tables. Which the table was pushed up against the wall, and one side was inaccessible, which took away spacing. Service was lovely space was really tight. Good thing some of the ladies didn't order full meals. Definitely wouldn't have been able to fit every plate.

Very Overwhelming! Parking: They have a lot, but on a Friday…read moreI had to park on the street and walk a ways. I would not go again on a Friday. They do have valet, but it's paid. Ambiance: upon walking in, it was chaos and sooooo many people standing up and sitting down. Walking around with drinks. I felt like I was in a club. A server made her way to me to take my Togo order. While waiting, I grabbed a drink at the bar and just made the happy hour cut off. Service was great as I was able to get my order and it was a large order. Everything was correct. The house margarita was ok, I wish I had gotten the hibiscus flavor. Order; Crab Tostadas Mixed Fajitas Snapper Mole Enchilada Ninfa 2 Tacos Margarita Mix The only thing I would order again is the crab tostadas and the beef fajitas. The chicken had no flavor at all. The charros beans and rice were not anything special. I was not a fan of either. Overall, we are not planning to order from here again. It just wasn't what Mark Weins made it seem like on his review. Also, whoever the driver was practically could not wait for me to turn around. Sorry, I had to take a pic. Very rude.

For drinks, my husband and our friends tried some of the margaritas from their large and unique margaritas menu, as well as their hibiscus agua fresca. All of the drinks were very pretty and it seemed like everyone enjoyed them, too! We started with their chips and salsa trio, which we all really liked. The chips were on the thicker side, but were crispy and not stale or chewy at all. Each of the salsas were quite different, and two were served warm, which we really liked! For the price, I'd consider getting the chips and salsa as a non-negotiable, honestly. For entrees, we tried the enchilada rojas, chilaquiles verde w/ chicken and beef, birria barbacoa ramen, and huaraches. My husband felt like his ramen could have included more meat, but aside from that everyone really enjoyed what they ordered. The highlight was probably the desserts, though! We got a quatro leches and two ordered of their giant and amazing churros. Both were incredibly tasty and reason enough to return for another visit in the future!

The "queso" w/carne seemed to be out of a can-it was orange & didn't have the consistency of real cheese- wasn't really cheese & was disgusting. It was $9.99.

It definitely is enough for 2. The meat melts in your mouth. EVERYTHING is better quality than here. Teo charged $1.50 for perhaps 4 or 5 slices of lime to make the happy hour margaritas made with a gross mix drinkable. That's outrageous. It reminds me that I had stopped going long ago when they charged extra for onions on enchiladas. Come on. You don't charge extra for chopped onions! I have never been to another restaurant that does so. Some even provide carmelized grilled onions gratis. I'm convinced that a $15. YUMMY mango margarita at Pappasitos would have given us the same buzz & tasted better than 8 happy hour margaritas here. I used to love the in house made flour tortillas at Teo. Tonight they were tough & uneventful. We arrived on a week night when they were not busy. Neither of the salsas were as good as they used to be.The water pitcher didn't even have ice when they refilled the water. I have absolutely no desire to return. Why would I?

I prefer traditional homemade Mexican food but here we are. (Oh I googled and suggested this place lol) Went in for a team lunch on a Friday. Coworker's birthday lunch and she wanted Mexican. Party of 9 and we were seated promptly. They have a lunch menu and a happy hour as well as a full menu and full bar. The interior was nicely decorated. And open. There is bar seating and patio seating as well. Our waitress was Aisha and she was amazing. Friendly, helpful and patient. And able handle our large group and a few more tables with a smile. There were a variety of options. Salads, fajitas, nachos, enchiladas, etc. Also complimentary chips and salsa. My Order: chicken tortilla soup, lunch fajitas combo - chicken and beef. Chicken tortilla soup (3.5/5) - it was a bit salty for me but I am not a salt person so most things are salty to me; everyone else said it was tasty, there were tons of shredded chicken, avocado pieces, tortilla strips Fajitas - combo (4/5) - chicken was seasoned well and the beef (medium rare) was perfection and so tender and juicy, mexican rice was fluffy, and normally I would pass on the beans and get extra rice but my coworker suggested the charro beans and wow, that was a win - the seasoning was great, there were chunks of meat and the texture was nice, the only thing that could have been done better is the flour tortillas - they over-charred them making them too crispy and left them with a burnt taste. A couple of people got the elote salad and raved about it. So that will be a next time try. Def will be back. Everyone enjoyed their meals and some even ordered food to go. Would recommend.
