Each bite reveals a depth of taste that speaks to both skillful preparation and the use of carefully selected ingredients. It’s a dish that makes Intimo Cabrito an essential stop for travelers and locals seeking an unforgettable meal in the Toluca valley.

The spacious dining room and well-stocked bar add layers of comfort and convenience, making it an ideal spot to unwind and relish authentic Mexican cuisine. That said, vegetarian and vegan options remain limited, potentially narrowing the choice for those with specific dietary preferences.

Intimo Cabrito’s reputation endures amidst strong local competition because it provides a genuine taste of Mexico’s culinary traditions, anchored by the exceptional quality of its cabrito.

“ Beautiful cozy family-oriented place.. You will LOVE it if you are a meat eater. They do not have a lot of options for vegans or vegetarians but their service is excellent ”
“ The service was great and the cabrito outstanding. Highly recommended. ”
“ Intimo is the place for travelers a space to enjoy a meal within a trip or a visit to Toluca valley. Of course "cabrito" (baby goat) is main attraction the only disappointment is the Mexican rice which I think must be better. The place is a wooden facility with large dinning room and a well served bar. Intimo has well known competition around but its service and taste make the difference for its own favor whith the plus that all cards are accepted and invoicing is quick and sure which gave the real indicator of its popularity. Intimo is not only a restaurant it is almost a museum from boxing and bullfighting memorabilia to artistic autographs. Look for JC Chavez and Ruben Olivares items and last but not least the very good live music which provides Intimo of bohemian mood. Look for the exit right before new Marquesa highway ends. ”
