Terrible, unsanitary conditions. I don't recommend it.

The worst experience regarding food and service, I don't recommend it. If I could give it a zero, I would... there's the Gran Pastor, which is 100% different from this place. If you're in Monterrey, don't waste your time coming here. We left the entire meal and paid 100%. DEFINITELY A BAD EXPERIENCE.

Very good cabrito tender and juicy. Is a one stop bucket list thing. Expensive as expected. Each person is about $500 pesos.

Excellent place

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We went with some Italian friends visiting Monterrey, and it was a total success! The goat was cooked to perfection, juicy, and golden brown. We also loved the atmosphere: traditional, lively, and with live music.As a beauty and facial harmonization specialist, I'm always looking for places to celebrate special moments with my clients or colleagues. This place is ideal for a dinner after a course or procedure.Tip: Order the roasted leg and pair it with guacamole. Thank you for giving us such a wonderful experience!– Paty Rivas | @patyrivas.belleza on Instagram Facial harmonization and micropigmentation specialist

It is an excellent place to eat if you visit Monterrey. Do not visit taquerias in the center since it is more expensive to eat at the taquerias than at the King of Cabrito. It is better and cheaper at the taquerias, it is much more expensive.

The food was very tasty but the service left a lot to be desired, the waiters needed more attention.

Excellent service and the food was the best I've ever had.

Went for cabrito and the taste was different. I been there in the past and maybe it was not cooked properly. The beans were great and the chiriqueso was not melted.
