El Cabrito Mexican Grill — Restaurant in Maryland

Don't make the same mistake as me and drag your feet on giving this place a shot! This place is a real find. Great food. Excellent value for money, and friendly service!

We grabbed takeout and ordered a random selection of items. First was an order of the chips, guacamole, and salsa. Delicious! Chips tasted fresh. The guacamole was smooth and buttery, not overly seasoned, we fought over every last bite of it. The salsa is sooo good! Perfectly spicy and I literally dipped everything I ate into it!

Next, we tried tacos. The chorizo wasn't bad. The shrimp was good, but a little bland. Both these tacos reminded me of the ones I've had in Cali. Corn tortillas, diced onion and cilantro, and radish/grilled onion. Thirdly, we got a birria taco. I've heard of these but had never had one, and omg have I been missing out!!! I don't really eat a lot of red meat, but I'm more than happy to make an exception for these! The meat is crazy tender. The grilled tortilla with melted cheese is like next level good, but then you dip that thing in the consomme and it will literally make you see God (okay maybe not literally). We were supposed to be sharing this meal, but I devoured that entire birria taco without regret, lol. And I'd do it again!

They had pupusas on their breakfast menu, and even though we ordered in the afternoon they were happy to prepare 2 for us. I haven't had a pupusa in years, and these didn'tdisappoint! We tried the queso, which was yummy, and the bean/pork/cheese which was equally delicious! And I was so excited they provided the red sauce and slaw- it's the perfect bite!!

Lastly, we ordered a torta. I'd never had one before, and again this has been a major oversight in my life. I believe we ordered the Cubano and I think it was $11 and it weighed as much as a baby, I kid you not. It was packed with meat. You simply cannot find value for money like that in this economy. Again, this sandwich was loaded with the most tender, juicy meats. And melty cheese. It was so good.

The food was perfectly packaged. They didn't skimp on anything, we got tons of sauces, etc. Will literally be telling everyone I know to go here, and I will absolutely...

I love this place ! Food is fresh and authentic. The manager and staff is always super helpful and friendly. I work in the area and usually go during my lunch break at least 3x a week. I recently had a gathering and ordered the 20 taco tray for 37 bucks and it was a total hit !

Place has went down hill since manger left. Customer service is horrible at times. Ladies at the register always seem to have a attitude with me. Or make me feel like I’m a problem because as a paying customer i have a issue with my order. I am a poc and it seems like everyday I have a issue with my order I’m being problematic. What they don’t know is i speak Spanish and hear them talking trash all the time. Today is my last day giving them a try. They treat their own people who come in with the upmost best customer service. That’s...

Consistently fantastic and really fairly priced food, all the time! I order here a lot and have picked up food for family visiting and it is a solid go to that will not break the bank. Hands down THE BEST Fajita Salad in the are. No Contest. The Birria is delish and I do not even like Burritos ( mostly to dry and pointless carbs with no enough of the good stuff? BUT not here, the Burritos are fantastic. They are HUGE and seem baked or even fried first(?) then baked with good cheese on top and full of the GOOD stuff not just dough and rice. I could eat here weekly and sometimes I do! If they get a liquor license I'd go sit in for the margaritas but really I just order to go. The dining room is small and often full because the word is out. Affordable quality food is lacking in the area, so this is refreshing. ...
