Reviews For Barbacoa de Borrego El Caporal

It is without a doubt the best lamb barbacoa tacos in Colima. They are style from the center of the country. The meat is soft and delicious, and not to mention the consomme with chickpeas and rice; They really are another fart. They have to go raw because they are dead raisers

I didn't take a photo because I devoured it! Those little sheep did not die in vain. What a good barbecue and the taquito of belly also very good, the consomme not heavy at all. I highly recommend coming with your families. There is a place to park and the gentlemen are very friendly.

Wow, it's the tastiest barbecue I've ever tried in my short life, maybe I'll have to see more, but so far for me, a dish with 100g of meat, rice and chickpeas, hand-made tortillas, mmmmmm, delicious, is super delicious. Today Sunday 09/28/19 It's what I had for breakfast and I continue with its flavor, there are also tacos for only 24.
