Anyone been to Cabrito?
Hey 'hounders,
I'm curious about this new restaurant that used to be Bar Fry, Cabrito. NY Magazine's Grub Street published about it's opening and I'm wondering if any of you tried their stuff before I'm going next week.
Here's the link in reference to what I'm talking about:

My friends and I went last week - great margaritas and guac. The pork cemitas and the pork huaraches were very spicy but good. The chicken cemitas were nothing to write home about but the side of refried beans hit the spot. Unfortunately we didnt save room for the churros but they looked great - enjoy!

What would you consider their portion sizes for the cemitas and huraches? Generous, skimpy, etc.?

the guac is pretty spicy. i had a fish taco and a steak taco. pretty large piece of fish, unsure of to what kind. the steak taco had maybe 4 tiny pieces of steak. it was laughable. the bartender comped a few drinks in light of. they also pour lime juice and salt on the top of their cans of tecate...and then don't open it for you. can get messy.... not complaining... just saying..

I'm intrigued about the fish taco. So, the price on their menu is actually one per order?

yes, one taco.

Makes me think I should go to a true taqueria for a lower price and a similar quality...unless there aren't any good places for a good fish taco. The other food sounds good though.

I went yesterday to Cabrito for the first time because I was in the neighborhood watching a film and got hungry. It was not awful but it wasn't very good either. The guacamole was too garlicky and too mashed. The pork belly taco and the tongue taco were nothing out of the ordinary, boring even. It was too expensive for 1 plain taco. The huitlacoche huarache was very different form the huaraches i eat in Mexico, It was not bad but i do not understand why they use huitlacoche here as if it were chicken, i'm used to more subtle dishes with huitlacoche, otherwise you can't appreciate the flavor. Im not looking forward to try this place again.
