El Cabo Verde - Shreveport

I chose to have my birthday dinner at El Cabo Verde. I had been meaning to check it out and I was not disappointed. The restaurant is on the small side with front patio seating. Because of the smaller side, it tended to get loud at times. That is why I gave atmosphere 4 stars. The wait staff was very polite, professional and prompt. We were served chips and warm salsa immediately after being seated. The salsa is very good! I ordered grilled shrimp and a margarita. I loved the margarita but some diners might consider it too sweet. My grilled shrimp was perfect! It was accompanied with grilled vegetables and quinoa. It was nice to have a healthy meal with lots of flavor.

Nice after work place for food and drinks. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Chips Salsa

This place has been on my radar for some time but it was never convenient to get to. On this day, I happened to be working in the area and seized the opportunity. First of all, this is a very nice place. It's not your typical overly colorful Mexican restaurant. It's a very classy place decked out in white. Service was excellent with very friendly and helpful staff. The chips salsa were brought out quickly along with my obligatory Mexican food drink of sweet tea with some lime. To tell you the level of service, every time they refilled my tea, they made sure I had more lime to go with it. I've rarely seen this level of service especially in a Mexican restaurant. In most places I get some lime with the initial glass but none for the refills. The chips were not typical and definitely tasted healthier than most. I love places that bring multiple salsas and El Cabo brings you both a red and a green salsa. A uniqueness to the salsas were they served warm much like the Pappasitos chain does. I thoroughly enjoyed the salsas. I would rank them some of the best in the Shreveport area. I ordered one of the enchilada lunch plates and thoroughly enjoyed it. The food is organic which you don't find in many Mexican joints. This place definitely has a foodie vibe to it and I can't wait to go back with my wife and try more dishes. It may become my top rated Mexican food in Shreveport but I need to try more of the menu first.

I spent a week in shreveport for work and quite a lot survived by haferflacken, drip butter and fries, except the night that my team went here! the sweet potato enchiladas were amazing and there were 3 dishes that could be made vegan.
