Profile

Gone are the white tiles and Japanese-inspired tempura that defined BarFry, Josh DeChellis’s brave if ill-fated foray into deep-frying territory. The entire space has been redone with a Mexican motif, from the Talavera tiles to the stuccoed walls and hand-punched tin, and a Mexican menu to match, courtesy of chef David Schuttenberg, late of Fatty Crab. Cabrito styles itself as a laid-back bar heavy on the tequilas and mezcals, with food hearty enough to sop it all up: Baby goat, the eponymous dish, is rubbed with sour orange, garlic, and chile, then slow-roasted in a banana leaf and served with citrus-tequila salsa. There are tongue tacos, cuitlacoche huaraches, and Mexican sandwiches called cemitas, plus red-chile-braised beef ribs and carnitas Uruapan, or pork confit, chopped and served by the pound with house-made corn tortillas. Weather permitting, outdoor seating will be available out back, and a Mexican brunch is coming soon. — Robin Raisfeld and Rob Patronite

I would recommend skipping the food and sitting at the bar with a pitcher of margaritas! I would skip the Cabrito NO WAY was it worth $26 very small if two people want to share. We had pulled pork and fish tacos, they were average, nothing to brag about. My gfriend had the chicken since she does not eat meat, I am not a huge fan of any chicken dish, but this was good! The coconut rice was so good and should be offered as a side. But overall I would go just for the margaritas! We had a watermelon pitcher and it was fantastic. * there are a lot of other great date places..I say skip.

Great Time

Went there after work w/ a few friends...wanted to try the best drinks they could make us and we weren't dissapointed. They take serious pride in their cocktail making. If the complementary chips and guac don't fill you up, order some of the small tacos to keep yourself upright(bartender Kwame tries his best to tip you over with his good yet well proportioned drinks)...
