Cabrito Opens Friday With Refined-Meathead Menu

Grub Street 56 days ago

As Rob and Robin said in the magazine this week, cabrito officially opens on Friday, possibly setting some kind of record for how quickly a failed business can relaunch itself under a completely different heading. We have the first image of the new incarnation and approve of the transformation: A casual Tex-Mex concept has a better chance of success in New York than tempura. The menu at cabrito should titillate some foodies and refined meatheads, as well: As the Robs described in appetizing detail, there will be cemitas, or Pueblan sandwiches, provisionally made with chorizo or chile-marinated pork; huaraches; the titular slow-roasted cabrito (baby goat); braised chile beef ribs; and the like. But you'll also find fish tacos, pickled mackerel in vinegar sauce, seared hamachi, and other options. We might just open a bar tab, order some frijoles puercos (refried beans with bacon lardons and house-made chorizo), and settle in for the long haul.
