  I heard about El Cabrito the first week I moved to SLC from people who should know a good Mexican restaurant.  Subsequently, other people were shocked I would consider driving to that neighborhood.  I shouldn't listen to most people in SLC about food.  El Cabrito was perfectly safe, the food was authentically good, and service in Spanish was helpful.  I don't speak Spanish, and as I organically slipped into French, she just laughed.  I ate a wonderful burrito, maybe the best I ever had.  The restaurant was full, and I found the last parking space in the lot.  By the time I finished, there was a huge line at the take out counter.  Oh, by the way, I was the only gringo in El Cabrito. This may be the most authentic Mexican restaurant I have ever experienced; that includes the restaurants I ate at in the Condesa, Polanco and Roma neighborhoods in Mexico City.

  I'm sure locals will agree, this establishment makes some fantastic tacos. They are later than you're used to and a bit more expensive, but dang they are addicting! The tortillas are hand made and have a unique homestyle taste along with the great meat.
  
  I have never ordered here myself. It has always been a friend or family member that picks it up, so I can't comment on the interior, but they are always consistent with their menu. I adore this.
  
  I can only recommend these tacos in a positive way. There is nothing negative, 'cept for a hefty price. I'll be back soon. Garcias!

  This is hands down the best authentic Mexican restaurant in Salt Lake City. The owners are from Morelos in Mexico. As you sit down they give you fresh cilantro, onions, red/green salsa, cream and toasted chiles de arbol. I had the red menudo that comes with hand made tortillas. The menudo was delicious and not greasy. The meat was tender clean and delicious. My husband got the Consome, that has goat meat and also comes with hand made tortillas. The flavor is just how he remembers from Mexico.  My son had the carne asada quesadilla that was made with a hand made tortilla and was deep fried. He ate the whole thing. I definitely recommend this if your looking for REAL Mexican food.

  I ordered the Barbacoa de Chivo, or goat bbq.  For $10, you certainly get enough to eat!  Very tender and tasty, with tortillas on the side.  Next time, I'll try the lengua!
