La Cabra
/
La Cabra has just opened another venue in St Kilda that is set to be the ultimate taco destination.
The restaurant is a wonderful addition to Acland St's bustling foodie scene and is a great taqueria for visitors to get their fill of tacos and tequila.
The menu boasts authentic and earthy Mexican fare made using fresh seasonal produce alongside delicious cocktails. Both particularly great to enjoy in their vivacious dining area.
We loved tasting our way through the menu. We ordered a few different tacos to try and each one met our expectations admiringly. The Chilli Grilled Prawn tacos were our favourite and topped with lettuce, sour cream, mango salsa and Pico.
For mains the La Cabra paella was a thing of beauty and boasted a generous amount of chicken, prawns and mussels. We loved the flavour combination of diced tomato, onion, chorizo, chilli, green peas, saffron and coriander. Just yum! The braised lamb rib salad was another winner. Think tender melt in your mouth lamb atop a colourful salad of pumpkin, chick peas, quinoa, pico, feta, seeds, rocket, cucumber, herbs and pickled cabbage all brought together by a zesty lime dressing.
Dessert time continued to please. The churros were on point - perfectly crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside while the homemade key lime pie had us fighting over the last morsel.
La Cabra pays homage to Mexico City, where the heart of Mexican food, art and culture is showcased.
