" Just visited El Cabrito and it lived up to the hype! The birria is rich in flavor, and the handmade tortillas really enhance the experience. The only thing that could be improved is the ambience; it feels a bit too cramped and less appealing. But if you’re there for great food, you won't regret your choice! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Cabrito is my go-to for birria whenever I'm in the area! Last time I ordered the chivo birria, and it was top-notch. The flavor was incredible, and it had the perfect amount of spice. I also loved the fresh corn tortillas that came on the side. It's a little cramped inside, so I prefer to take it to go, but the food is truly authentic Mexican cuisine. Definitely a must-try if you haven't been here yet! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just my kind of place! It's small and cozy, and the birria hits the spot every time. I love ordering the braised goat with the broth on the side. It's an authentic experience right here in Pomona. Do keep in mind that the parking is a bit tricky. Otherwise, it’s definitely five stars! " (*Curated Review*)

" I noticed a friend posting about El Cabrito and couldn't resist trying it out. The birria was very flavorful, coming right from traditional recipes. I love how they make their tortillas by hand too! It's a tight fit inside, but I totally vibe with that atmosphere. Just a few more staff would make a world of difference during busy times. " (*Curated Review*)

" A lovely little spot for birria! The flavors are absolutely amazing and the service was decent. The portions are fair for the price. However, be aware the lines can sometimes be long. Worth it for the food, for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Went to El Cabrito for the first time and loved it! The birria is simply the best. Make sure to try their consome, it's an absolute must! The restaurant is a bit small, but it's cozy. I appreciated the friendly service too. You'll definitely want to come back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" This is hands down the best place I've found for authentic birria. You can taste the quality in every bite! The only drawback is the cramped seating. If you can, try to order to go or get there during off-peak hours. But overall, you won't regret it! " (*Curated Review*)
