You might know Hola Cabrito by their signature golden building with teal trim on 16th Street in Phoenix. But locals know it as the place for the best birria de chivo in town. Most birria we eat in America is made with beef (de res) but Hola Cabrito is known for serving it authentically with goat (de chivo) and that makes all the difference. And for those hesitant to try this preparation, Hola Cabrito also serves birria de res and vegan birria, both cooked in a nearly identical flavor-packed broth of herbs and spices. That goat, however, cooks for about eight hours to achieve their signature, well-rounded flavor. It’s served as a stew or separate from the broth for dipping, with all the build-your-own accoutrements like garbanzo beans, cilantro and white onion, and a stack of handmade corn tortillas. As the 2023 winner of Best Birria in Phoenix from the Phoenix New Times, Hola Cabrito has quickly become a beloved fixture in the Arizona dining scene. Everything is cooked fresh daily. They open early for breakfast, and serve through lunch into an early dinner, closing about 5pm. Whenever you visit, cap your meal with a homemade flan or slice of tres leches cheesecake.
