Ordered Uber eats from here and it was great. Everything was warm and flavours were really good. Will visit once lockdown is over.
I came here once before lockdown and we got takeaway tonight and both meals were great! The in house atmosphere and service was lovely and the takeaway ordering and pickup process was quick and smooth. Food was just as good in takeaway form so I can definitely recommend it for a lockdown meal to break up the home cooking! We got the Mexican corn, buffalo wings, fries with chipotle aioli, loaded crisps, and a selection of tacos given it’s taco Tuesday (beef, chicken, pork and fish) and would easily get everything again.
We dined at La Cabra anticipating the government is likely to shut everything down again shortly if things don’t start to rapidly improve and wanting one last glorious meal not eaten next to my makeshift workstation. As someone who ate out pretty much daily prior to the initial lockdown I can’t convey just how much I missed the atmosphere and change of environment. And naturally the food
The food here was delicious. We shared a pulled beef quesadilla and then I had prawn tacos whilst my husband had a beef burger. I’m not sure what was particularly Mexican about said burger but it certainly looked impressive. Plenty of flavour in all the dishes and the texture of the pulled beef was perfection.
Hubs has been here on an almost weekly basis given his office is in walking distance and I’m of kind offended he’s never once thought to bring me. Would definitely return for one of their weeknight specials (Taco Tuesday’s looks intriguing!)
I don’t normally write reviews but these are SERIOUSLY GOOD Burritos! I had the Chimchurri and my husband had the chicken. Going to call it - best Burrito ever! Massive and delish. Will be getting iso delivery again! Thanks La Cabra!
Great vibes and modern Mexican! So glad this is just around the corner from us. Definitely becoming a regular!
Wow, this has just become my new favourite Mexican joint! Super fresh and all the serving sizes are value for money. Decided to go meat free here and lots of veggie options! Definitely bring your mates here
We happened to get an available table on a Saturday without a booking ... it was very busy however service with only 2 working the floor was impressive (they can seat 70 out the back). Tex mex style food was much better than Fonda and came out quick and the vibe is fun there. Had the jalapeño poppers, lamb ribs, calamari bowl and chicken quesadilla- and all was what we had expected
Really nice modern Mexican in the heart of Camberwell. Service was very friendly and quite quick. There is a small seated area in the front, and a 2 level beer garden out the back. I’ve eaten a lot of Mexican corn and that would have to be one of the best! Entrees were so good and mains also. Well priced, nothing to fault. Friendly service too!
Tried the
- Fish Taco
- Fried Chicken Burger
- Beef Burrito
Overall the quality was good. The atmosphere was top notch and the food was very good as well. I went during a busy time so there was a very long wait to get service, however the staff were very nice.
The highlight were the fish tacos, the fish were cooked perfectly and the sauce complemented it very nicely. The beef burrito was a little salty and could have used more sauce. Was a little underwhelmed by the chicken burger though. The chicken and the pork belly were overcooked and dry and did not have as much taste as I would have liked.
La Cabra's food, like most Mexican options in Melbourne is pretty good. A fairly standard selection of tacos, quesadillas, enchiladas and burritos are on offer. The strength of La Carba really lies in the atmosphere La Cabra with its nice outdoor dining area around the back, as well as live music! On a Sunday night! Uncanny. The sunny evening may have had a major part to play in the vibes. We opted for the spicy chicken quesedilla, the beef enchilada and the tortilla crisps (i.e. nachos). The quesedilla was my favourite, with spicy chicken as advertised and some lovely garlic aioli on the side to reinforce the flavour. The beef enchilada was decent, but would be improved with pulled beef or beef strips replacing the minced beef that was present. The tortilla crisps, while good, got soggy quite quickly, so eat them while they're hot. Certainly not the GOAT but still really good and well worth a visit.
Would definitely recommend going here on Taco Tuesdays where all tacos are $5! My favourites are the prawn tacos as well as the fish ones but you really can’t go wrong with any of them.
They also have a $69pp bottomless brunch on the weekends which is always a blast. You can choose either a meat or vego set menu which are both very delicious. For the drinks, there’s a variety to choose from such as beer & wine to sangria and mojito jugs.
They also have quite a nice seating area out the back which is better for larger groups.
Loved the food. Enjoyed a well cooked slow cooked lamb Chimichurri burrito. 5 star dish. Had enough fat and cooked to perfection. The chilli was great in adding the right amount of heat. Onion rings crunchy and tasty. The wrap was delicious. The Tirado Chicken Enchilada was good. It was deconstructed which made it a little hard to enjoy all the flavours of the chicken together as opposed to being able to wrap it up and eat together. Food was excellent. Lost a star because the ambience/accoustics were hard to beat in the outdoor area. With many patrons, noisy neighbours, brick walls and loud music it was hard to enjoy the experience. A few sound absorbing materials would help plus lowering the volume of the music.
We ordered a couple of chicken and beef burittos, fish and prawn tacos, some jalapeños and boy, they don’t disappoint at all. We love Mexican food and for my taste, I enjoy La Cabra more than Bay City.
Melbourne’s best Mexican food by far. Cheerful ambience, amazing staff. It’s definitely going on my list of returning restaurants. Sophie was our helpful and peppy hostess. We’ll go back to experience their great service again and again.
La Cabra (translation The Goat). Yes they're claiming it, Camberwell Rd, East Hawthorn. Is very very good. Service was quick and the tacos were delicious. I don't say this lightly but probably the best Tacos I had. 6 out of 5 Tacos. Worth the adventure. + some delicious plant based options.
Firstly kudos to the front staff for being super accommodating as I was carrying an infant.
Service and food cant be faulted at this place
Best Mexican food I had in super long time
Great casual Mexican restaurant.. Seems quite popular! Looks small from outside but there's more to it down the back.. Food and drinks list is great..
