los cabos mexican restaurant

my favorite! fresh ingredients, not greasy....sooo good!tacotruck food always at the ready...note it is cash only but worth the trip to the atm!

good one!!. great vegetarian options. fresh veggietacowas delicious! their salsa is one to die for!! kudos.. have had many more veggie options here (burritos, enchiladas)- all were great. try the desserts as they have some good ones on the menu.

great tacos. one night, my boyfriend and i decided to get los cabos for takeout, being that we were in the mood for some tacos, but not in the mood to pay the price for tacos at verde. (very good, but expensive) we ordered about 6 tacos in a variety of flavors. they were all wonderful, except the potato. it was more like a mashed potato in a tortilla, and the toppings didn't add much flavor. my favoritetacois the pollo asado. overall, great toppings, great food. the only other complaint i have with them is they consistently say 20 minutes for your order to be ready, and i'm usually there waiting another 10 for it. but, well worth the wait for some yummy tacos!

had a chile relino and a beeftacoand an an enchilada...good mexican food...salsa was hot n spicy like i like it...it was 7.95$ for a combo and an extra dollar for additional selection...

lunch. had lunch this past friday with one other person. i ordered grilled shrimptacoand chile releno. he ordered a shrimp burrito. both orders were very tasty and service was very fast. counter staff seemed very friendly and would definately go back to try out more of the menu.

true southern california fare. to the guy who says "why is mytacolost in the lettuce" -- that's how it's done, baby! go to san diego and it's exactly the same. it's not about a meaty cheesy goop, it's about healthy living !

chile relleno, a nice low-cal dish, cheap too.

tasty and well presented. shrimp cocktail with the spice is great to sip on a hot summer day.

i want to start by saying i've had mexican food in mexico, california and arizona. and of course various crap in other states. i love everything about this place. joel and audi are so nice and welcoming. the food we had was absolutely delicious. the salsa was one of the best i've had - it actually had some heat and a nice balance of flavors. i do not like the typical refried beans accompanying most mexican cuisine but again, they actually had flavor and the perfect texture. even the rice was better than average! i mean, it's kinda hard to drastically mess up rice so it's usually passable but their rice is delicious. finally, in response to the person who had the cheese enchilada the day after i did - sorry yours was disappointing! mine was perfectly cooked and didn't taste "canny" at all. also, the chickentacoi got was so amazing. i loved the fresh, crumbly shell. sure it fell apart easier than the box kind but it was so good, i just used my fork to eat the rest. lastly, they now use "real silverware", which was a silly comment to make after they first opened. byob still - but those make for the best places anyway.

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 beeftacoand 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 beeftacowas 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 atacotoo, 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???
