El Burro Greenpoint

Lovely experience overall. We went early so were seated at a table - much more comfortable than sitting on the stools. Appreciate that they have lots of vegan and vegetarian options. I started with the pulled jackfruit - a little too sweet for my taste but the marinated artichoke quesadillas with cashew nut cream cheese are brilliant! Ordered a second lot which I shared with my partner - he was impressed. He had the corn croquettes which were absolutely delicious and the duck taco, also excellent. Great service and vibe. Would definitely recommend.

Delicious as always! Tonight we had the ceviche (with salmon), fish taco, beef taco, steak quesadilla, and croquettes. Always love the great vibe at El Burro! The service is good, lovely friendly staff, and ice cold drinks.

The food is great and flavourful! It’s a fun place with great tasting food. Small place and can get busy in the evenings. Will always be coming back for more!

Food was good. Beef taco was amazing!! Atmosphere is warm and Cosy. Prices are fair, 2 people (R400) Service is abit too good😅 (I would rather be left alone with a check up once or twice instead of a check up 7 times) Not a complaint, just a preference.

TEQUILA & TACOS !! Great cocktails and tasty tacos. Probably not “authentic” but who cares when they taste damn good. Margaritas and Palomas (cocktails) were tasty and reasonably priced. We had the beef, chicken and pork tacos; and they were all very good. Chips, guacamole and salsa to start were also excellent and a healthy portion. WARNING: FOOD IS SPICY 🌶️ Service was attentive and speedy. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

I absolutely love Mexican food, but it's not easy to find a good joint, this place definitely hits the spot. Delicious tacos, kickass margaritas, friendly and welcoming service, easy vibe atmosphere and perfect decor.

We stopped by El Burro on a Monday night and expected it to be quiet and chilled - which we don't mind. But to our surprise it was bustling and busy, but the service still remained top-tier and the atmosphere was lovely. We had multiple waitresses check up on us, as well as a lovely lady who seemed to be the manager/owner. We felt really looked after and had a cozy spot out on the terrace to people-watch while we had our dinner. We ordered the fish, chicken and al pastor (pork) tacos which were all delicious. My husband loves spice but I like it more mild and we both thoroughly enjoyed these, packed with flavour and a great kick. The meat all round was seasoned perfectly and paired with the best and freshest toppings, with the pineapple salsa on the al pastor taco being a particular highlight. We then also opted for the taquitos and jalapeno croquettes which were excellent. I also tried a new cocktail they had introduced - an aperol margarita, which was the perfect start to our evening. Thank you El Burro, we will definitely be back!

It's with a heavy heart that I give El Burro Greenpoint a 3-star rating. The restaurant is well-decorated, charming, and stands out when walking past, capturing the attention of anyone passing by. However, I must compare it to all the other restaurants I've dined at in Cape Town. While the ambiance is inviting, the location is less glamorous and scenic than many other spots in the city. The restaurant is quite small, particularly the tiny outside terrace which is just off the main road, limiting the enjoyment of your dining experience. On the bright side, the spicy margaritas were delicious, and the ceviche was the hero of the evening. However, the rest of the menu items we tried were average: the guacamole, chicken tacos, and fish tacos. That said, El Burro Greenpoint still has its charm. If you're in the mood for basic Mexican in a cozy and vibrant setting, this place is a great option. Sometimes, it's not about the scenic views but the cheerful atmosphere and a good margarita to brighten your day.
