You can tell when the owner's heart is in the business, and that's evident at Mi Cabañita. The menu is the perfect size, with all of the authentic Mexican standards, and a few off-the-beaten path offerings to keep it interesting. We had several kinds of tacos, all of which were pretty good. The taco meat selection was also good, though they've been out of cabeza for a very long time. The place has many prominent signs explaining why there's no tortillas and salsa, how there are meat shortages resulting in higher prices and lack of choice and so on. We liked the place, but the pervasive "times are tough, manage your expectations" vibe was a bit of a downer.

The large burritos are f'kin huge. I wish the salsa for the chips was a bit spicier but overall a great stop for Mexican food.

Food was good. Prices average. Lacks ambiance if you eat in. Nice people!

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING I had the nachos supreme (without meat). Excellent!!!! The guacamole is some of the best I've ever had. My husband had tacos - tripe, carnitas, and chorizo. With a side of rice and beans. He LOVED them! Fresh homemade chips are crunchy and flavorful. Salsa is also incredible! Hot sauces are also excellent -- the heat sneaks up on you.

I went there for Shrimp Fajitas. The Food was hot, the portions were generous. I also ordered a side of chips and salsa. I would have given 5 stars but my salsa was literally 7 oz. of water with cilantro on top and 3 chunks of tomatoes. Im not kidding

We ordered the chicken chimichangas, the shrimp quesadilla, the choriqueso, and Mexican cokes. It was so incredibly delicious and our hostess/server was kind and attentive. The food is all homemade, including the chips, which are crunchy and delicious! We were extremely pleased with the food, the service, and the prices. The best Mexican cuisine we’ve had in the county.

Amazing corn tortilla tacos, especially the al pastor!
