los cabos mexican restaurant

vegetarian options are good, meat is meh. the chile relleno burrito is awesome. the fact that they have horchata (rice milk with cinnamon - it's in that big jug on the left) is almost unheard of in this city. try it - it tempers the spiciness of the food. their meat seems to be not that great - either overcooked or too greasy. free chips and salsa, though.

love!. i don't get here nearly as much as i would like. so good, and the owners are super friendly!

i had the carne asada burrito. it was very good. the red and green salsas are both very good with just the right amount of cilantro. i called in my order for pick up. my food was ready when i got there. the staff was very friendly.

great authentic mexican at a great price.

not bad but hope it will get better. my boyfriend and i had been discussing how wonderful it would be to finally have a mexican place in our 'hood. we are die hard "east enders" and we tend to keep our money local. we went on a thursday evening around 6pm and were waited on quickly. the lady taking our order was friendly and the entire staff was helpful.. we were handed menus and told to place our orders up front. we took a seat to review the menu and a very cordial gentleman brought us some chips and salsa. the chips were fantastic and the salsa wasn't bad. one or the other could have used some salt, although i appreciate that neither was salted. this gave me the option to salt my chips.
we both ended up ordering the same thing; a combo of beef taco and chicken enchilada with an additional tamale for one dollar. i ordered one order of beans and rice for us to share. when they brought out our order, they had given us both beans and rice, which was nice. here is what was great....the food was hot and looked fresh. the enchilada sauce was great, the tamale was perfect even though it was chicken and not beef like on the menu, and the hard beef taco was great although a little greasy. the only thing i can really say was not good was the chicken in the enchilada. it tasted like it had been boiled with no seasoning and then added to the mix of onions and peppers later.
i will certainly go back. i am hoping that anything that wasn't good was due to it being opening week. my displaced texan boyfriend couldn't find anything bad to say but he would eat a baseball mitt covered in mustard and like it.

pretty good burrito. i was excited to try this place. i went around lunch time (1:30) and it was packed, so i decided to come back later when things had quieted down. the staff were all incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the food was pretty good. i had a pollo asado burrito and it was tasty and filling. the chips were nothing special, but the salsa was delicious and tasted very fresh. i decided to order a taco too, but it wasn't as good as the burrito, and fell apart in my hands (it would have been better if it had two soft corn shells instead of one. also, some cold slaw and some sliced limes would have been a nice touch.)

some things that could make this place a little better:
it seems like this place can't decide if it wants to be a sitdown restaurant or a taqueria. i wish the prices were slightly lower, the portions slightly bigger, and that everything was done more like in a taqueria. they use plastic silverware, styrofoam plates, and styrofoam to-go containers which seems wasteful. i like my mexican food fast and cheap, and if i could order burritos and tacos here and just get them wrapped in paper and foil (taqueria style) i'd be set. i like it when taqueria's use those reusable plastic baskets with paper in then. and if you must have to-go containers, please make them paper! i'm guessing these sorts of changes would save them a lot of money as well. maybe they'll give it a try? i don't think bloomfield really needs another sitdown restaurant, but we could sure use a great to-go taqueria.

in any case, the food i ate had some good flavors going on, and the people working there seemed great--i hope they do well and that they stick around. i'm going back in a few weeks after they've been open a little while longer--who knows. maybe by then i'll be able to get a wrapped up burrito to-go???

hmm i don't mark. . .you must be confused with another restaurant. i also went there today and had a carne asada burrito. it was pretty filling and very packed. i don't think it was pricey, for the amount of food and great taste i believe it was right. the servers and the rest of the staff were great!! i was told that they had the best chef from the west. he has been a chef for over 27 years, now that's experience. i hope every one gets to enjoy this place and i hope it lasts long too. good luck!!

pinch me. when are you going to open? please be open late night...
