cabrito

I don’t remember how quickly I got behind the steering wheel after learning about Taqueria El Cabrito, tucked inside an Exxon station in Silver Spring, but I’d like to think Usain Bolt couldn’t have kept pace with me.

El Cabrito’s tlayuda may be short on showmanship, but it’s packed with more meats, beans and cheese than that tortilla can contain, especially if you order it with the campechano mix of proteins, which I suggest you do.

El Cabrito offers exactly one mole, but it’s solid: a streamlined, turbocharged take on Coloradito mole.

Once I arrived there, I discovered a hard and beautiful truth: This isn’t the only El Cabrito found inside a gas station.

Aragon tells me El Cabrito does make its own, too, but you have to ask for them.
