BEACH & PERRY, CAPE MAY
Page 12 EXIT ZERO May 2, 2024
Every week, the Exit Zero crew goes for lunch (or dinner or,
maybe even on occasion, breakfast) at one of Cape May’s excellent
dining establishments. Then we give you the skinny on
what we ate, what we talked about (or some of what we talked
about), who spat their drink from laughing too hard, who served
us, who we bumped into and, you know, the general lay of the land.
The place: Taco Caballito on the corner of Beach Avenue and Decatur
Street. They offer a great space in the two-story restaurant to grab
delicious drinks and food with a beautiful beachfront view.
The vibe: It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon — the warm weather
and busy beachfront really made us feel like summer was just around
the corner. We put our names in for a table — only about a 25-minute
wait — and took a walk on the beach to kill some time. Keep that in
mind for future visits! Once we got the text that our table was ready, we
were led to a high top toward the front of the restaurant, next to the bar.
The bar was full of guests closing out their weekend with a margarita or
two... which we did, too! For a busy day, everything came out quick and
was wonderful. Our server Amanda didn’t miss a beat and had our food
out in record time. It was a great way to spend our Sunday.
The drinks: Like I mentioned, we had to close out the weekend
with a couple of margaritas. Dan enjoyed his favorite jalapeño margarita
with salt and Nicole enjoyed a Surf’s Up strawberry margarita with
sugar. We stuck to just one each and they paired with our tacos perfectly.
The food: We started with chips and queso which we finished in
minutes... we were quite hungry. Dan then enjoyed three cheesesteak
birria tacos — ribeye steak, cheese, pico de gallo on corn tortillas served
with consommé Nicole had two crispy fish tacos — beer-battered cod,
Asian slaw, mango salsa, avocado and chipotle aioli on a flour tortilla.
Their tacos are available in orders of two or three, but if you can’t
decide, they offer a variety of taco samplers so you can enjoy a couple
different tacos.
The takeaway: Taco Caballito is open from 12pm. The same team
behind this restaurant has some exciting things on the horizon including
their two new restaurants — Port, previously Harbor View on Ocean
Drive, and Fish House on Sunset Beach. Keep an eye on their socials for
updates on their new businesses!
