Cabrera's Mexican Restaurant

Cabrera's Mexican Restaurant in Arcadia, California, sits on Live Oak Avenue just minutes from the historic Arcadia County Museum and the bustling shopping district of the Arcadia Plaza. The family‑owned eatery, founded by Efrain Cabrera, serves authentic Mexican fare that blends traditional recipes with a fresh, California twist. Signature dishes include sizzling fajitas with marinated skirt steak, hand‑rolled tacos al pastor topped with pineapple, a hearty molcajete of roasted tomatillo broth, and the Parrillada platter featuring grilled chicken, chorizo and shrimp served with fresh guacamole. The bar offers handcrafted margaritas—classic lime, strawberry, and the house‑special mango‑chili—priced at $10 for a regular, with a buy‑one‑get‑second‑half‑off promotion. Every Wednesday in July the restaurant runs a 50 % off fish taco special, featuring beer‑battered fish, cabbage slaw, pico de gallo, spicy mayo and avocado. Inside, warm wooden tables, colorful tile backsplashes and vibrant murals echo the landscapes of Mexico, creating a lively yet family‑friendly atmosphere. Outdoor patio seating lets diners enjoy the Southern California sunshine while savoring the aroma of fresh cilantro and grilled corn. Cabrera's also provides catering for corporate lunches, birthday fiestas and community events, delivering the same authentic flavors. With a Google rating of 4 stars from over a thousand reviews, guests praise the generous portions, friendly service and the feeling of being treated like family. Open daily for lunch and dinner, the restaurant welcomes both locals and visitors seeking a true taste of Mexico in the heart of Arcadia.
