This is my only second review ever. Horrible - don't waste your money. Was good several years ago, but not anymore. Meat burrito was all beans, taco salad was soggy and lacked flavor and the shell was oily. Staff was rude and put out by my inquiry on the food quality when it arrived. What a waste of $50!

I met with a friend who knows the owner of this place. The food was freakin delicious. I'm from Texas, and I've had some pretty amazing Mexican food, so honestly, I didn't expect much, but I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. The food portions were good-sized. I'll definitely be going back when I'm back in the area.

The couple seated right before us had their food before they even took our order. It wasn't even our server that eventually took our order. Crispy tacos weren't very good. Shells were hard to chew. Will never go back.

If you’re looking for a new local go-to spot, Cabo Grill and Catina is worth checking out!From the moment you enter the restaurant, there’s a cool vibe. I could tell that it’s a local spot, with a diverse group of customers. It does get quite lively in the bar area, so if you have kids, you may want to sit in the dining area instead. Otherwise, it just adds to the ambiance. We went on a Friday night around 5pm and had no problem getting a table. It got busy by 6:30pm. There was a lot of laughter so you know they were having fun! So, definitely a great place to meet a group of friends and maybe meet new friends.Looking at their menu, they had the typical Mexican type dishes. Large variety to choose from.If you haven’t tried their Queso Fundido appetizer and you’re a cheese lover, this will easily become your new favorite!! It is absolutely A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!! It comes piping hot so be careful not to touch pan! ? That cheese pull!! So cheesy!! ? The chorizo adds a depth of flavor to it. It’s fun to share and you can’t help smiling & laughing as you’re fighting that cheese pull so that you can get it into your mouth lol ? It’s one of those dishes that you can’t stop eating! So good!! Definitely memorable!!Chips and salsa were good. Liked the green spicy one the best! So good! We got to try 2 other salsas that are not on the menu: guacamole salsa (smooth salsa with good flavor and a little kick) and a habanero one ?️ Loved the guacamole salsa!!We tried their Chicharrones and guacamole on their Small Bites menu. Nice and crunchy. Seasoned well. Squirt some lime juice over the chicharrones and hear the sizzle. It’s not as easy to dip into the guacamole though. The chicharrones is not as crunchy from the lime juice if you let it sit too long. So eat away! Guacamole tastes freshly made. Well seasoned. Loved the guacamole!! ?Love the Carne Asada Grilled Fajitas at this place!!! It comes sizzling in a cast iron skillet! Most everyone loves to hear that sizzle, right? It’s like music to your ears, telling your taste buds they’re in for a real treat!And, we were not disappointed. The shallots, are caramelized, which brings out the natural sweetness. The yellow bell peppers and red bell peppers had a little bit of sweetness and still a a little crunch to them, which I like. That combination brings out some fabulous flavors!! Gives it some great color. You could also tell that they use good quality meat! Love this dish!! Plus, it’s quite a show as it comes to the table. Everyone usually looks that direction, thinking I should have got that! Or is that just me?! LolDrinks we tried…Skinny Margarita (pretty good)Mango Margarita (my daughter’s favorite). Squeeze lime in and blend well. So pretty ?Blueberry Margarita (my favorite)Just when we thought we were full, Bethany asked if we wanted any dessert. Before I knew it, we were saying yes to Deep Fried Ice Cream (Nieve Frita) lol So glad we did! It was good quality Vanilla ice cream rolled in cinnamon, sugar and corn flakes, deep fried and covered with whipped cream and topped with chocolate. The corn flakes got a little hard and chewy to eat. The dessert itself was very yummy!! We finished the whole thing!Overall, it was a fantastic meal. We enjoyed some mother/daughter fun ? Thank you Carlos, Bethany and staff for making our time there enjoyable and fun.Thanks for the rec @enjoybrea ??
