Food was good. Service was friendly. Felt like they were under staffed. A/c needs to be turned on. Shrimp ranchero smelled a little fishy but it was good. Steak fajitas delicious. Mole enchiladas yummy. I had a pomegranate margarita and a frozen mango margarita. Both good but couldn't taste the flavor. Lots of alcohol. They had karaoke when we went. Seems like they get a lot of regulars. So much fun watching people sing off key, but hey.... I don't have the balls to do it so good for them. Great atmosphere.

Unfortunately we went to Cabrera's on Karoke night. YOUR WEBSITE should have told me when I was confirmed & I would have never gone on a Saturday Night. Trying to eat diner while loud music blared all over the place was the worst experience EVER. I never want to return. There was no where in the restaurant to be seated where you weren't away from the extremely loud music with BAD singers. Nothing special about the food, expect prices were too high for simple Mexican food.

Food was good and service was very good, but the karaoke was loud and the customers singing (at least the night I was there) had no business being near microphones. I think a warning in the listing is in order for places with karaoke.
