Cabanna in Hipódromo delivered across the board. I ordered an assortment of tacos--the milanesa was…read moreeasily the highlight. Crispy, cheesy, topped with fries, and somehow still balanced. The fried shrimp taco with chipotle mayo and avocado was crunchy and well-executed, while the carne asada with guac and pico kept things classic and satisfying.
The raw shrimp aguachile served on thin jícama slices with a smoky black salsa was unforgettable--bright, spicy, and full of bold flavor. The jícama added a clean crunch that tied it all together.
The shrimp salad was fresh and colorful with strawberries, candied nuts, and goat cheese, and the salsa verde cream pasta with shrimp was rich and tasty, without feeling heavy.
Service was excellent--attentive, friendly, and on point the whole time. The bar is also worth a mention: wide drink menu, good cocktails, and a great vibe to hang around after the meal.
Overall, Cabanna hits that sweet spot of flavor, variety, and energy. I'll be back.
