The fist was fish eggs served on a small lime sliver. It was delicious and something that you would not imagine being paired together. The second was a delicate white fish over a cauliflower purée and an interesting green olive oil based sauce. The whitefish was perfectly cooked with its skin and paired very nicely with the flavorful sauce. I would definitely recommend checking this place out.

El Cabrón provides fast, pricey food with a great ordering system involving large electronic menu boards- can pay by cash or card. Centrally located in downtown San Sebastián. They offer different language options which is awesome. I ordered two tacos with combinations of two sauces: habañero and green sauce. The tacos were okay. The meat was the best part of them. The tortilla was hard-ish and tasted like it had sugar in it. It didn't have the standard Mexican additions of cilantro or onion. The hanañero isn't too spicy, if you love spicy sauces. I couldn't resist the least-Mexican dish on the menu- Nutella burrito. It was a lot smaller than I thought it would be. The taste was good- you really can't go wrong in my book with Nutella. I ordered a side of guacamole which was good. They don't sell a side of tortilla chips, only large bowls of fully-loaded nachos. My total cost was about 11€, which I consider a bit pricey, since I was still hungry. I think I chose poorly with the tacos. Next time, I'd get the nachos- it's large and looks filling. The food is good. The atmosphere is fun and casual. There is seating and a bathroom downstairs. It's a good place to get an evening snack or meal.

I'm from California originally so I have had my fair share of authentic Mexican food. And I've been…read moreliving in France for the last year, where there is almost zero authentic Mexican food -- so after craving real Mexican food for a while, this place was a gem to find in Bilbao. This place has two locations: the "Takeria" which is more of a to-go / fast-food place, and then the "Kantina" which has tables and is more of a casual sit-down restaurant. The Kantina serves more traditional dishes like enchiladas, etc. but also serves tacos. The Takeria has burritos, tacos, quesadillas, and things that can be eaten on the go. The space is super small and you can stand at the bar and eat, or go outside on one of two tables. We ate at the Takeria both times because it was fast and we didn't have to wait for a table. At the Takeria, you can get burritos, nachos, tacos, quesadillas, sopes, tostadas, and a few more things, and you can get 10 different kinds of meat or vegetables fillings, including cochinita pibil, chicken mole, chicken tinga, tuna. Everyone seems to get the tacos and the quesadillas -- these are the most popular. The pricing is not too bad, one taco is 2.50€, 4 tacos are 8€. A quesadilla is 3.50€ and a burrito is 4€. The first time we went, we got a taco al pastor, and a sope with chicken tinga - both were really great. It's hard for me to find sopes in Europe, and the sope part was fresh and so delicious. It definitely tasted homemade. The only thing we wished the tacos had, was maybe some red onions, cilantro and cheese - or maybe something a little more than just the corn tortilla and meat. But you can't go wrong with the tacos - the meat is generous and tasty. I got the sope with the chicken tinga and would definitely get it again - it was a good combination. The second day, we went again for a late lunch, and got 4 tacos (2 cochinita pibil), one with chicken tinga, and one with chicken mole. We also got a quesadilla - I wish you had the option to pay extra to add meat into the quesadillas, but it's just cheese and the tortilla. We just took some of the meat from the tacos and added it to the quesadilla as we ate it. Out of all the meats that we got, our favorite was the cochinita pibil, probably followed by the chicken tinga or the chicken mole, and then the al pastor. Overall, authentic Mexican food with delicious meats and with tacos and quesadillas that satisfied my Mexican food craving. I'd recommend this if you want a break from pintxos or want to include this into your late-night food or pintxos crawl. Reasonably priced, filling, and delicious!

While they do serve pintxos, they also have a menu for tacos!!! Halleluia for tacos! The food did not disappoint either. The chef/owner is from Mexico, so believe me, the tacos were authentic and so delicious. I had a combination plate consisting of mole, al pastor, and shrimp tacos. They were all so delicious.

We glanced at the menu and decided to give it a try. They have a wide variety of food. We got several dishes to share. Beginning with table guacamole, they give you the components to mix for yourself with a mortar and pestle. I hate onions and cilantro, so I was able to get my share before my friends mixed them in! Served with crispy chips, it was a nice change from regular pintxos in the area. Next was the ceviche, tuna and sweet potato (with a lot of onions), onions aside the tuna was delicious with a well balanced spice of peppers that were included in the dish. Next up was the Iberian ham cheese quesadillas: perfection! The simplicity of the dish was what made it taste so good. Exactly what it sounds like, but the cheese was delicious. But the BEST part of the meal was the al Pastor tacos! They were better than some of the tacos I had in Mexico City! Perfectly seasoned meat, with just the right amount of guacamole. MUST HAVE!!! Lastly, the desserts! The churro dessert was AMAZING! And the rice pudding was also delicious, light and flavorful! We were all amazed by this meal. Everything was delicious. The most consistent meal we have had by far during our stay in San Sebastián.

The service is friendly. They bring plates out in courses, so it's easy to have a relaxed drawn out meal here. You don't feel rushed. The abodaba tacos were the highlight.
