Taqueria el Cabrito — Restaurant in Maryland

Located inside the Exxon gas station (no kidding) on Busch's Frontage Road, just off Rt.50. Easiest possible access to and from the highway, especially eastbound toward the Bay Bridge and Eastern shore. This unassuming and inexpensive little joint is exactly what this stretch of the highway has long needed. Operated by a very friendly, younger fellow whose English is hit-or-miss, it's a terrific detour for something a little less ordinary.

The tacos are very good. On offer are ten different varieties for $2.50 apiece, but I could only manage five: the Lengua (tongue), Carne Asada, Al Pastor, Cueritas (braised pork rind), and Chorizo. All came with fresh onion and cilantro and lime and spicy green sauce, and all were delicious. I also ordered the Posole, a Mexican soup made from a lot of big chunks of roast pork with hominy, larded with a pile of fresh avocados, radishes, jalapeno, and pico de gallo. It was fantastic.

Have I had better and more distinctive tacos? Sure. But the tacos on offer here are delicious, convenient, and inexpensive. Well worth a short...

I would constantly order from this place but 90% of the time they mess up my order and give me the wrong item. Ex. I ordered pork but they give me chicken soup. I never call and complain, I usually just deal with it but it seems very unfair that this continues to happen. I used to make big orders over the weekend to feed a group but that has stopped. Today they messed up my order again and I decided to call and talk to management about how we can rectify moving forward. The woman on the phone said she doesn’t know who the owner is and that there isn’t a manager at the store. I explained to her the situation and she didn’t provide a solution instead was upset I called to complain and then hung up on me. This is the issue with Latin businesses, they don’t take care of their customers properly, as a Latina this is sad and very upsetting. I will not purchase food and will make sure I inform my fellow capers to stay away from...

Very GOOD food at good prices--- which is how this place has "survived" for 2 years (at least). Great variety of choices on the menu, all cooked fresh, and all delicious! ONLY CAUTION: be sure to CHECK YOUR ORDER while still at the counter (i.e before you walk away): I ordered and paid for THREE tacos today, and when I got it home (first time I looked in the bag), there were only TWO tacos. (shame on ME for not checking ¯(ツ)/¯ ). I don't think this was intentional or slimy: instead, I chalk this up to simple poor communication between the Order-taker and the Cook {one guy took my order, then disappeared to the back office... 8 or 10 mins passed... and then the Cook brought my order to the counter.} I'd go back again (maybe hit "Taco Tuesday" [see attached photo] for the specials), but will be more careful when checking...
