On a recent visit to NY I dined at Cabrito with family members. Not being too venturesome with unfamiliar foods, I settled on a fish taco and a margarita with the chef's recommended brand of tequila. Both were excellent, but it was not until I started sampling my companions' orders - carnitas, cabrito, and pork huarache that I really understood what the hoopla on Cabrito is about. Though I've eaten Mexican food for years, this was the first time I could taste the distinct flavors of the delicious fresh ingredients used, especially in the sauces. What a difference from the mass market Mexican at home! I instantly fell in love with the crunchy crusted carnitas and will be back for more the next time I'm in town.
Pros: good location, good value, great food
Cons: a bit noisy
