I was around for work, and that was a nice topping to the successful business trip: wonderful photos, perfect food and nice people around. Cabrito was better than the one I had before in Saltillo, if only slightly, and the rest was at the same level.

the cabrito was ok, like in every other place but the sauce is not that good, besides they didn't have machitos! and I went there specifically to get that and cabrito. There were some other things that I was expecting that were missing. I will never go there again.

Restaurant is average, prices have gone up, service not as good as before, still well decorated place family oriented. If you want to try real Cabrito there are better and cheaper places around town.

It is a decadent experience. From the goats that gleam in the front windows to the yummy meat set out in platters in front of you on the table, it's all good. I highly recommend trying this place at least once. It's worth it!

Even though it's the original and most famous restaurant when it comes to cabrito; the quality has seriously gone down on the food. There are a lot better places in Monterrey where you can enjoy much better cabrito.

We went as a family to Monterrey for some shoe shopping in the downtown area of Monterrey. I decided that we wanted to try one of the venerable restaurants in Monterrey. We parked in the parking lot and there was plenty of space to chose; but I would caution that if it's busy it will be hard to find a... More

I can't say bbq baby goat is my favorite cuisine but this place was really memorable during my brief visit to Monterrey. We ordered the half cabrito and also some fajitas. The cabrito takes some work to get some good pieces off the bone but its really tender and delicious meat. The decor of the place is really entertaining. I... More
