cabo bob’s

The simplest way to describe Cabo Bob’s is Chipotle’s-Run-by-Beach-Bums, and I mean that in the most loving way. Being Austin-based and unshackled from distant corporate soul-sucking suits, Cabo Bob’s provides made-to-order foil-wrapped burritos and taco trios but with fresher and funner ingredients. Tortillas are made in front of you with a tilla-presser (unless you order plain corn; don’t order plain corn) with four choices: buttermilk flour, ancho chili, cilantro tomatillo, and smokey cheddar. Bob’s sports multiple choices for proteins (sizzled on Big Green Eggs), beans, and veggies (including vegan options). If you don’t like to choose, there are pre-arranged options (“I’d like a Number 4 all the way.”) as well as several specialty options. While not the healthiest item on the menu, the ground hamburger riddled with fresh bacon-bits is memorably savory. And the place is hopping with high-schoolers, families, and folks simply looking for a great burrito.
