    Hola Cabrito - Phoenix 4835 S 16th St Phoenix, AZ 85040 Sunday, August 25, 2024 11am This afternoon I had the great pleasure of dining at Hola Cabrito in Phoenix, Arizona, and I must say, this place is the real deal. It's a true mom and pop shop, not your typical fast food chain, and that authenticity shines through in every slurp of tasty birria broth. If you're planning to visit during peak hours on Saturday or Sunday, be prepared to wait outside. It's a popular spot, and for good reason. The wait is worth it, but do plan accordingly, especially with the sweltering Arizona heat. My wait outside was about fifteen minutes. I was seated and I immediately ordered the goat birria soup, and it was outstanding. The goat birria soup comes with a generous portion of shredded goat meat--no bones or gristle, thank gawd! The broth was rich and flavorful, far from the bland broths you sometimes encounter. You could really taste the goat meat in every slurp. Service was pretty impressive, especially considering it was a busy Sunday afternoon. My meal was served within three minutes, complete with freshly made tortillas, lime, and optional diced onion and cilantro to garnish. Overall, Hola Cabrito deserves a five-star rating. I'll definitely be returning, and next time, I'll bring some special friends along to share in the experience. Blessings to all, and follow me on Yelp for more food reviews. - Jordan

    I've been here twice with a co worker and it's always been great! On the weekends it gets full pretty fast so try to come early before the rush. They have Birria and menudo on the menu.. they also sell goat head if you call and order a head of time.. the service is pretty good minus today.. the waitress could have been better lol

    Great service, and some of the best Mexican food I've ever had. This small business is a good place to either go with your family or go out on a date.

    I love birria, especially if it's made with goat meat. There are not many places that have goat birria and was excited to try this restaurant and the goat birria. When we arrived there were many people waiting outside. We waited about 20 to 30 minutes before being seated. The restaurant inside is not huge and it's pretty loud. As soon as we sat down our server came and brought a menu and took our drink order. They do offer beef birria if you don't like goat. We ordered 1/2 a pound of meat which includes 6 tortillas, which are hhomemade, and some broth. Once you order, the food comes out immediately. The birria was amazing. It had such great flavor. The broth was delicious and I love that you can get garbanzos in the broth. The 1/2 pound was plenty for two people. We even had leftovers. We did order extra tortillas to take home with the leftovers. Our server was great and checked on us often. I definitely will be back and I'm so glad I tried this place. If you want amazing goat birria I recommend you try Hola Cabrito.

    Goat stew $13.95 with my $3.49 Mexican Coke.  4 handmade flour tortillas.  Goat pieces very tender and delicious .

    My first time here, a Foodie outing with Meetup Group called Wild Dining on April 2, 2022. there were 11 people at 3 tables. I ordered their house special goat stew or birria in the broth $13.95, and treated myself to a Mexican Coke, but didn't know it costs $3.49. The goat stew was so delicious, pieces of goat had plenty of membrane attached, as if it was tripe. it waas cooked like tripe, too. They cooked the goat A LONG TIME to get it THAT SOFT! I give the goat stew 5 stars for taste. Goat is served with 3 handmade flour totillas. No chips and salsa at this place. The reason why I am giving 3 stars instead of 5 stars that i thought the goat stew achieved, is because of the service. The organizer of this event already alluded that the servers didn't speak English and this will be part of the ethnic expperience, in case this wasn't your cup of tea, and she asked is there anyone who could speak Spanish when we go. Well I experienced what she meant. I couldn't make the server understand what I wanted, even a cup of ice to have with my bottled Coke. Poor thing, always had to go and get someone else to translate something so simple. And in the end, she doesn't bring it to me. Nothing i asked for, was understood and brought to me, till long after, when I saw someone else and asked them. She acted as if she got it and was gonna bring it, but then it wouldn't come, such as more onions and cilantro, which was served with our food like condiments. They forgot my flan, too, had to remind them. I liked the flan, rich and thick, but didn't like the sauce, it was kinda like raspberry sauce, made the flan sour and tart. All in all, service was like "the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing", but I suppose it adds to the truly authentic ethnic experience, cos I didn't speak Spanish, and therefore had the Gringo experience. shows how authentically Mexican this place is. Very baaaaaahhhh building and interior, just like in a small village in Mexico. Was just missing live goats on the loose, hanging around the building and parking lot.

    Love goat meat? Want to eat a goat head? Well look no further and head on here! I am by no means a fan of anything goat, so I was not excited when my friend took me to eat here... I can never see myself trying goat meat. (I had a pet goat that I really loved) Anyways, we stopped by on a rainy Wednesday for lunch and this place was busy! The parking lot was full and so was the inside. We were short on time so we ordered to go. I was glad when I saw that they did offer other meats besides the goat meat.. I went with three carne asada tacos, and my friend had a pound of the goat meat. This came with a large cup of consomé (goat broth) that had garbanzo beans in it. The tacos were delicious! The tortillas tasted fresh and they were handmade. The salsa was super spicy, but good! My friend raved that the goat meat was delicious, and he was able to make like 12 tacos with all the meat... Overall I will be back. They have menudo on the weekends which I'm super excited to try out! It can get busy around lunch time!

But I wanted something hearty after donating blood the day before at Phoenix Fan Fusion. I felt like I didn't eat enough to replenish all of the corpuscles I shed, so a hearty late breakfast was in order. I was pleasantly thrilled with my choice of Presidio Cocina Mexicana, as the late breakfast I ordered did not disappoint! I ordered the Chilaquiles, which are essentially breakfast nachos, and you have a choice of protein to add. I chose the birria beef which was perfectly slow-cooked and complemented the corn tortilla chips, cheese, and eggs superbly. I opted for both the red chile and green chile sauce which coated the chips along with a generous layer of tangy cotija cheese. I asked for the eggs scrambled and they cooked them just how I like them... fairly dry and in a thin griddled layer. Add to this mound of well-seasoned goodness a decent dolloping of Tapatio hot sauce (and salt and pepper on the eggs) and I had endless perfect bites of spicy, meaty brekkie goodness that brought delighted yummy sounds from my grateful gullet! This was quality food and the couple at the bar next to me raved about the Menudo, so it has all the hallmarks of authentic Mexican fare. It restored me from borderline anemic to my usual strutting rugged caballero self. "¡Arriba, arriba! ¡Ándale, ándale!"

To die for. Chips are gratuit. Service is prompt and knowledgeable. The entrance is via the kitchen as this was once a home, now converted into a great eatery. So you come in the side door to the dining room . Wait staff all greet you and guide you to the dining room, festooned with roses and talavera tiles. It's not kitschy, just gorgeous. The menu is ample and you can't go wrong with anything. The initial refrito dip, tho yummy, has pork. But they have the best, the absolute best black beans!! Try them just for a change.

The restaurant is inside of an old brick home with wood interior and warm colors. The service was good-- friendly and food came out at a good pace, we were checked on regularly. We ordered an appetizer and then entrees from the lunch menu. The aguachile appetizer is SO good. It's bright, fresh, and has a lot of flavor in the green sauce. It reminds me of a ceviche type dish due to its raw butterflied shrimp that is marinated in the house made chile serrano & cilantro citrus sauce. It was awesome. We were also given free chips & house made bean dip. I ordered the mixed two item plate with a chile rellano and taco corazon (grilled taco dipped in a red chile sauce, stuffed with shredded beef & melted cheese. Topped with grilled onions). The black beans and rice is also tasty. I tried a bite of the other dishes, and I also really liked the brightly colored spinach & cheese enchiladas with pink sauce ( signature beet sauce). I look forward to trying other items from the menu, I was eyeing the steak Mexicano or red snapper. Those dishes sound good for dinner.

    Sometimes the best meals happen because your original plan falls through. That was exactly the case…read morehere, and honestly... I'm not even a little mad about it. I ordered the veggie tacos with roasted sweet potatoes (skin on, which was absolutely the right call), pepitas, feta, and all the right toppings. Whoever prepped those sweet potatoes deserves a raise because they were cut into the perfect sized pieces. Every bite had a little sweetness, a little crunch, a little saltiness... it just worked. My dining partner ordered the barbacoa tacos, and I didn't even have to ask if they were good. The involuntary "Mmm..." after the first bite answered that question. Four tacos disappeared in record time, followed by, "I could've eaten two more." That's about as glowing of a review as you're going to get. Now let's talk about these tortillas. Handmade. Corn. Tortillas. Are you kidding me? They're the kind of tortillas that had me question every tortilla I've ever eaten. Soft, fresh, and somehow they manage to steal the spotlight even with everything else on the plate being so good. The chips and guacamole were excellent, too. The chips have to be made in-house and they disappeared at an alarming rate. The salsa that came with them had this smoky, fire-roasted, chipotle flavor that kept me reaching for another chip... and then another... and then suddenly I realized I'd eaten way more chips than I intended. The bottled table salsas deserve their own paragraph because they completely confused me... in the best way. They bring three to the table... a green, a red, and a darker red. I kept tasting them individually thinking, "Okay, these are alright." Then I started mixing them. Game over. On their own, each one was solid. Mixed together? That was the magic. I don't know if that's what they intended or if I accidentally stumbled onto the perfect combination, but from that point on, every taco got the salsa trio treatment. The only tiny hiccup was when we first walked in. We were greeted, asked if we wanted menus, and sat ourselves. We waited for a bit thinking someone would come take our order, only to realize it's actually counter service. Once we figured that out, everything was smooth sailing. Not a big deal at all... just something first-time visitors might want to know. Follow the sign "order here" I also loved the layout. You can actually watch them making the food, which somehow makes the wait even harder because everything smells incredible. Two tacos ended up being the perfect light meal for me. Could I have eaten ten? Absolutely. Those two statements can both be true. Meanwhile, my dining partner polished off four barbacoa tacos and was talking about ordering two more. We only ended up here because another place happened to be closed, and honestly, I'm glad it worked out that way. This ended up being one of those meals we keep talked about on the drive home. Oh and the bathrooms?. I walked in and immediately thought, "Whoa... this is a cool bathroom" The lighting had this pinkish-purple glow that made me feel like I'd accidentally wandered into a trendy lounge instead of a taco shop. I honestly wasn't even sure there was regular lighting in there and I didn't look... because the vibe seemed so intentional. Finally, the music. .. upbeat, dance-worthy, the kind that had me bouncing in my seat while waiting for my food. Between the atmosphere, the lighting, and the music, the whole place had me want to hang out a little longer. Zero regrets. I'll absolutely be back... and next time I'm ordering more tacos.

For the table, Camarones Locos is an easy choice. The flame grilled shrimp comes out hot and full of flavor, perfect for passing around. La Patrona ceviche tower is massive and worth the order. When it hits the table, you immediately feel good about the decision. El Pulpazo is technically an entrée, but we always order it as a shareable.

    This review is for the totality of the experience…read more I made an advance reservation at Alma Scottsdale for a mid-sized group of 7 to celebrate a special occasion. Our party arrived right on time for our reservation, but we were not seated until 15 min later because our table was not ready. It took about an additional 15 min to get tap water for the table (there was not enough provided anyways), and to place our orders too another ~20 min. The food did not arrive until 30 min later. For context, we eventually learned that the restaurant was short staffed and the bartender was also operating as our waiter. When the food finally arrived, there was a mix-up on what was delivered. We had checked with the staff who delivered one of the dishes: we ordered the "wild mushroom" side, but what we received did not look quite like it. We asked clarifying questions x2, but were assured, "no, it is the wild mushroom." Turned out, it was the mushroom empanada that was delivered to our table, which we originally did not order. The management did rectify the situation upon the conclusion of the event when we were paying the bill, but to us, it felt a bit accusatory as if we intentionally wanted to cause a huge fuss about the final total, which was absolutely not the case. The food in general was delicious. If this was a more standard dining experience, it would have been 4-5 stars just for the food. The service was very subpar, and really colored the entire experience negatively, therefore the two star review. I understand that staffing shortages happen -- fine. My family has worked in food service as wait staff for 25+ YEARS, so I am empathetic. But for management to ring up our bill and then come confront us in an inflammatory manner, making us feel like we were wrong, on an occasion to celebrate something special, was extremely disappointing.
