Yummy food and great service. I look in the kitchen and it's seriously like watching my mom cook. They are back there cooking everything from scratch. The lamb tacos (barbacoa) are my favorite!

Everything is amazing we love the restaurant and especially the barbacoa and the mole! We used them to cater our wedding and it couldn’t have gone better. Can’t wait to check out their new patio!

El Borrego has some of the best Mexican food in town, especially the lamb dishes, the cafe de olla, and the fresh fruit and/or veggie dishes! This daughter and mom duo (and fabulous staff in the kitchen) cook authentic Mexican cuisine from their home state in Mexico. The food is simple, yet complex to the tastebuds. I highly recommend El Borrego!
