The ambiance is casual and Hispanic music can be heard in the background. Service is cordial. Food might take slightly longer to come. The food itself is tasty and comes in good proportions. Good for a casual lunch/dinner

I came here recently for a friend's birthday who was a big fan of tacos. I've also been here a few times to get a taco or two on the go when in the area. This time we got rice and ordered the 15 taco special for our group. We got shimp tacos, pork tacos, and chicken tacos. They were all delicious. We wanted to get the lamb tacos but they were all sold out. El Cabron is definitely what I would classify as a quintessential cheap eat for dining in. Most cheap eats are more suitable for just ordering it to go, which this place also has a separate store front next door to do. But El Cabron has the feel of dining at some grandma's house for a meal and is reasonably priced. The service is pretty cordial and quick. Normally, I would go with my local taco truck for a taco or burrito but I would go to El Cabron for tacos for sure. I am fan of value in terms of food quality with very little frills. The space itself is pretty small. Our group was the only somewhat big sized group in the establishment and in all fairness they could probably only fit one other group of 5-10 in the space. They also have a lot of day of the dead type decor in the space.

Pretty sure I got food poisoning here. Had one steak burrito the entire night and started feeling sick w/ symptoms over the course of the next 8-15 hours. Which is a shame since the atmosphere of this place is really nice, but I think I will need to stay clear of this place going forward, something was clearly off during food preparation

There's nothing bad about the food here, it just doesn't "wow" me. But when it's late at night and you crave a taco or two it'll do the job. The food is just it's just plain. If the lamb didn't have a little bit of gaminess to it, you would think you're having a beef taco or burrito. The fish tacos with the "catch of the day" is probably tilapia caught in the freezer. I could hardly taste any pineapple with the Al Pastor.

Rice dry, meat dry...got the burrito and it was super loosely wrapped. Not great. Not bad enough to throw out...but I really don't understand why most Mexican restaurants have terribly dry meats.

I like their quesadillas the most, tacos are also delicious. Sometimes they serve some soups which are originally Mexican, and not Americanized LOLThank you Maryam for an amazing experience ;)

the food was amazing and I definitely loved the margarita tower. the barria tacos were 10/10 the sauce so am and MIAAAAAAAA she was the best server she was so sweet and was okay with us adding to our party because we only had three people and we invited people to help us with the tower and she was chill and served them.
