Cabo Bob’s Burritos — Restaurant in San Antonio

Finally... A Baja Fish Taco that is worthy of its name! It's not identical but considering the effort involved in making them at home from scratch, I'll opt for Cabo Bob's.

If you're lucky enough to have ever enjoyed fresh (albeit fried) fish tacos in San Felipe, Mexico, you'll know what I mean. Back in the day (jeez, I'm getting old), fish tacos in San Felipe were 3 for$1.00 and made fresh on the beach by the wife of a local fisherman would batter, fry and prepare what I remember as the best and original Baja Fish Tacos. The concept sounded strange for the uninitiated, but for college kids in San Diego in the early 90's, they were our raison d'etre. A US fast food restaurant chain called Rubio's did a reasonable job of capturing the essence of Baja Fish Tacos (and many of our US dollars)... Fast-forward 30 years and I'd almost given up finding the tacos of my past. Rubio's has long since gone out of business and from what I hear, it's simply too risky to make the "deep-drive" into Baja California any longer. Kiko (my go-to fisherman back then) probably isn't plying his trade any longer and if he is, the tacos definitely don't cost 3 for $1.00 and the Dos Equis probably isn't $5.00 per six-pack.... But I digress...

The point of all this seemingly superfluous info is that Baja Fish Tacos are a cherished memory for me and I don't write this review lightly.

Well, Cabo Bob's, as I said earlier, is the closest thing to the authentic fish tacos that I've found. The eatery (as I'll call it) is not a chic nouveau Mexican restaurant. It's also not a food truck or a lean-to on the beach. It is, however, a made-to-order Mexican food eatery where the friendly and patient staff make your taco/burrito/bowl right in front of you. Organized containers of fresh vegetables/different types of beans and rice/sauces and salsa are added to your meal per your directions. Think Freebird Burritos but much better(IMHO).

The result: a fresh and delicious Mexican meal. The batter used for their fried fish (Talapia) is as authentic as any of the best versions that I've ever made at home... The fish taco is then filled with... whatever you desire. Authentic Baja Fish Tacos are best with shredded cabbage and Queso fresco or crema. I add jalapenõs but that's just me... You do you.

Cabo Bob's Baja Fish Tacos are everything that they could be and the price for 3 well-portioned tacos won't break the bank. I highly recommend Cabo Bob's. Make these a wonderful part of your...

Wow! I don’t normally leave reviews for places, so this is a rare occasion. I haven’t been to Cabo Bob’s ever, and I’ve passed by it so many days on my way to work only to forget it during lunch. Well, I finally went on a random Wednesday to try it out and I was absolutely more than satisfied with the portion and taste of my food! The place was packed during peak lunch rush, but the service was efficient and friendly. Seating inside is more than enough for people coming in groups from offices, but it was a little worrisome when I first arrived and the line was out the door for ordering.

My food was delicious, and I got a huge portion which will basically be enough for a second meal later today! I’ll definitely be back to try the different tortillas for my burrito, and the chips n’ queso was a huge portion for a regular! I paid $20 for all of it with a tip, but it’s easy to keep it in the $10-$20 range per-person.

The biggest gripe I’ve seen, and the reason I’m only giving an overall 4 stars (I really wish I could give 4.5 because it seems like an easy fix to me) is the parking situation. The lot is way too small for the amount of people there during the lunch rush, and it’s also sharing space with people in the drive-through line. The location of the store on a one-way access road and a semicircular parking lot means that when you’ve gone through once, and you don’t find a spot, there’s no looping around for another pass. It was awkward watching people turn around at the end to try and go back to find parking, and it was probably such a bad experience for those who tried to go against the flow that it would probably push them away from the store.

I see a simple fix is to open up the back of the lot into an overflow parking area just rear of the store, or put signs on the access road to guide people towards said overflow parking area. This would easily solve the parking issue, and the location would surly benefit in the long run if they were able to get that overflow parking clearly marked or make it accessible.

TLDR: Great food, great service, large portions, poor parking, spent...
