Review by Ophelia Baumbach

September 19, 2024

I celebrated my birthday at El Borrego, and it was a fantastic choice! 🎉 The outdoor patio was beautifully decorated, creating a cozy vibe perfect for our group of 20. We enjoyed a self-serve buffet featuring tender Cochinita Pibil and Lamb Barbacoa with all the fixings.

The house-made Horchata was a hit too! 😋 While parking was tricky due to street construction, the attentive service made up for it.

Note: Unfortunately, no dogs allowed after a recent incident. Overall, if you're looking for delicious, authentic Mexican cuisine, El Borrego is a neighborhood gem! 🌮
