Set in Monterrey, Mexico, El Rey del Cabrito reads as a Mexican restaurant rather than a generic listing. The draw is flavor, texture and regional character; at a polished mid-to-high price point, it should be judged as a polished dinner worth planning ahead for. Read it as a place for flavor, texture and a point of view rooted in cuisine rather than decor alone, with the final judgment depending on execution, hospitality and consistency across the meal.
