Cabrera's Restaurant - Pasadena

I love Cabreras. Home style Mexican food. Servers are always friendly and warm. The food is consistently good. I regularly order the albondiga soup but have had a little of everything on the menu. The molcajete is amazing. Enough for 2.

I had the chicken mole ... Delicious all the food was great and the restursnt filled with groups singing Karoke dancing

I've been several times and really enjoy the food. They have year round classics but also seasonal offerings. The staff is friendly and helpful. A great place to get a happy hour drink.

I have been visiting this place for years time to time. There is no question about the quality and autencity of the food here (my favorite is the Shrimp Fajitas). The downside for me is that the place more and more becomeing a bar instead of a traditional Mexican restaurant. The music is very loud (some kind of Latin American Rock and Roll) makes it very hard to have a conversation with your table partners. The after pandemic crew is very friendly, but obviously in lack of experience (they will get better as times go by, I have no doubt about it. I also appreciate the tap beers.

I have to say, the bartender went above and beyond to give me a very positive Happy Hour experience. Nothing is posted and there aren't any Happy Hour menus. But there a few decent things deals. Im not sure I'd recommend Cabrerera's other than for Hapoy Hour. They do have ample parking and outdoor seating. And the service was solid. Therefore
