I’m from Monterrey and can attest that the kidneys are a special treat, however, so is the head of the Cabrito. The cheeks, tongue, eyes and brain are like gold to us. I really appreciate this type of content.

This is what we are missing from youtube. Someone showcasing BBQ from around the world. One of my favorite videos I've seen in awhile. Thank for making another good one brother.

[@bernardsbbq]

Al Frugoni video collabs are the best! My grandfather was breeding rabbits in the 1970s and he always had me have the kidneys because he knew I loved them. Now I know how special that was! Thank you, Al!

From Monterrey here. Great video, here are a few points: 1. We season the cabrito with saltwater (submerged) in a cooler for about 2-3 hours. That’s it, it only needs salt. 2. The kidneys and riñonada are the best meat/section on the cabrito 3. Once it’s done, we eat it as is to appreciate the natural flavor, or you can put it in a fresh corn tortilla with a salsa molcajeteada (better if it’s chile piquín), then add lime and salt to taste to the taco.

[@AbielCantu1]

@@michaelbethancourt9780 ahuevo primo así se hace

[@JaimeRivas-c8f]

Chimichurri in a corn tortilla with smoked Cabrito is next level.

[@MadScientistBBQ]

Agreed. Super tasty stuff.

[@christaylor77723]

Gotta be homemade corn. So good

[@lunkydog]

That's what I was wondering about when he said it's eaten plain.

[@horaciogarza6360]

We in Nuevo León just add salt to the cabrito. It’s our main dish for dinner, carne asadas, parties, etc any excuse to grill cabritos! We also use mesquite to cook with. Also the best parts is the riñonada, costillas,la aldilla flavor is the bomb! We add no lemon but eat with corn tortillas!

[@harveywalker1560]

A friend in Miami Fla. did a cabrito in the ground back in the early 70s and I fell in love with it. The best meat you can eat

[@adammoore2226]

The learning curve here is equal if not greater than cooking a brisket on an offset. I can dig it! Fire and meat. It’s simple but it’s not easy.

[@piratekingtx163]

My grandmother used to make Cabrito in the kitchen and it STUNK up the house, but tasted so good. I can only imagine that cooking it over open fire comes out amazing.

[@alfrugoniofc]

Great times my friend!! Vamooooooss

[@TheNino36078]

This looks so good. I had cabrito once a long time ago as a kid with family in Mexico. I didn't much care for it back then, but I'd be willing to try it again after watching this video. That asador looks like an ancient torture device.

[@CarlosHernandez-ey3yd]

growing up, we visited family in Monterrey Mex ,every year. We ALWAYS stopped and ate cabrito. Im literally drooling!!!

[@UR1956]

That's how I cook my cabrito with pico de gallo and home made sarsita on corn tortillas, it is delicious. That's how we do it in south Texas. That cabrito looks amazing sir. Those of you who don't know what cabrito is, it is a baby goat

I totally got the "Fantasy Island" reference, "de plane, de plane" when Al said, "de flame, de flame." I am 66 years old though, so I watched that show religiously!

I'm so glad to see you exploring South Texas bbq. However, I recommend you head south from the Guadalupe river until you're closer to the Rio Grande.

@MadScientistBBQ Jeremy, There is so much learning here! I cooked a whole hog for hundredish Boy Scouts 40 years ago (I don't remember the number of the Fall Conclave @ Camp Mitigwa, Boone IA! I had near no idea what I was doing. Your videos like this is inspiriting and give me a thinking direction into the process! Thank you. ps, been here in the weeds.

[@sethbracken]

Your Alex jones impression was spot on.

[@rickycazares5262]

Great collaboration 🤙. Reminds me of hanging out and cooking with both my late older brother's🙏. Been many years since I've had cabrito, looks delicious 👌

[@BigMike1925]

Get in your truck tomorrow (or tonight) and drive to Brady, Tx. Go to the park and pay your small entry fee. Then get a plate of real asadora smoked cabrito, some mexican rice, a couple spoonfuls of some awesome pinto beans, and an ice cold beer. Sit down and eat some of the best cabrito you'll ever eat. Then go try a different pit man's sample. You'll have a great time, leave full, and meet some great folks!!!! And don't forget to grab a small bowl full of some bird's eye peppers! They are some hot little devils, but the heat is forgiving and it adds a ton of flavor to your cabrito or beans!!!! Gotta go to the Cabrito World Championship Cook Off at least once in your life.

[@triaxe-mmb]

I stumbled on Al's channel a week or 2 ago and was like "This guy really needs to do a collab with the MadScientistBBQ"...and then here I get what I wished for... Now I am now wishing "I should really win the the next lottery"...🤣😂😂

[@dahobdahob]

When I was much younger I did some work in Monterrey. I only really remember three things about the city: the soccer fields by the river, the Mexican eagle on the bridge and El Rey de Cabrito's line of neon dancing cabritos :D

[@clarencedaze]

A lot of people sleep on south Texas cabrito my family and I would go to matamoros to get it seen them all lined up over the open flame was one memory I’ll never forget

[@JamesBrown-wo2qj]

Congratulations, Jeremy. Between The Cooking Channel, Franklin BBQ, Chud's, and many others, Texas-style brisket has gone mainstream and ruined the market for everyone. With this video, you have broken open the last best kept secret of Tejano cuisine to the rest of the country...but damn, I'm kind of glad that you did! Folks just don't know what they don't know...and now they do. Cabrito $ 💥💥💥...😂😂

[@emilianogam8428]

Some people cook with the asador against the wind, so you can put it far or closer to the fire

[@tylerp4390]

Loving these Al Frugoni collabs. Good stuff!

[@chucas14]

I am from Linares, Nuevo León. Here we have the best cabritos in the entire state. We cook it by leaving it in water and salt for 12 hours and that's it. Once you have it on the fire, you just rehydrate it every half hour and what I use to cook it is the Kanka, turning it over and over. If you haven't used Kanka, I recommend it. The process is much easier.

[@TheMuledoc]

what is Kanka ? I'm not familar with the term. thanks Bob

[@HandlingItAll]

Best gordita I ever ate in my life was the ranch managers helper where I trained field trial dogs they ran cattle. The helpers family lived on the ranch like the manager and his did and he raised goats. That goat gordita was one of the best South of the border creations I've ever had.

Big fan of pellet grills myself as I don’t have the free time to watch a fire for 12 hours Allows me to cook the food the family loves , without the stress The best tasting barbecue is about time… So often restaurants will cover up the lack of time in smoke and heat with sauce Great video looks delicious

[@ManuelVargas-p5g]

In the real South Texas (Rio Grande Valley) and northern Mexico the kidneys are cut with the part of the body called, La Riñonada. This part, the head, and the machito are saved or portioned to the head of the household or special guests. Olive oil and salt will do the job but there are many more ways to season a cabrito.

[@dwaynelejeune3508]

Just came across your channel And luv what I see! Question how many people and one small carbirto feed. I have a large family/friends and want to prepare nuf food I live in SW Louisiana and so far my search turned up no local butcher /meat shops that offer! So may have to raise my own! I’ve cooked whole hog before so I know about how big I need to feed my crew Also where can I get drawings/plans on how to make the Pit and are cross rakes? Will be adding watch list for upcoming cooks! South Texas is pretty much same style as southern Louisiana!!!❤❤❤tia

[@viciousvictortee1298]

Now this is really cool. I would love to see more of these International crossovers. Even something like seafoods from Asia to Europe styles of cooking the world is an oyster.

[@gstanley75]

I am loving the depth of expertise and technique being offered. I have only experienced this with beef on mesquite in Big Bend, Terlingua, Tx. You didn’t not the choice of wood. It looks like post oak but in the Sonora areas of Mexico and West Texas I would think mesquite. And what about wood choice in Argentina?

[@5eba]

The most popular hard woods are Quebracho (grape seed according to google translate) Algarrobo (Carob in google) and also for flavour we use Espinillo, Olive, Apple, Orange.

[@rvnerd7671]

[@carlosfalcon7569]

[@carlossalinas1390]

The cabrito meat is naturally season by what the mother goat eats .we only add salt to enhance the flavor..... Corn tortillas and salsa with Chile del monte. Don't forget the Mexican beer.......enjoy

[@TdSharp]

I do that same paper towel method except, I use the grease from my drippings bucket

[@mikeshaw9785]

Where do I find the cage with clamp piece you used to cook the meat in this video?

[@tillvalhalla2271]

On a day where the wind changes direction constantly, I bet that would be a chore moving the goat around.

[@matiasnruffa]

It is, but also we have asadores or fire pits that turn on their center axis, so you just turn the whole thing around

[@petergriffinson1907]

Have you tried a series of using WSM OR WEBER KETTLE smoking brisket? Not everyone have pellet or offset smokers.

[@jonathanlatta20]

Going down to the RGV in McAllen today, where should i go to try this?

[@danielolivaresd]

Although it's very popular in Monterrey (and the whole Nuevo Leon state), I'll argue that cabrito originated in northern San Luis Potosí (Matehuala et al), which is the state I'm from. However, I've heard cabrito patagónico is just on another level. So it was a pleasant surprise to find this video from you and Al Frugoni. I've been a fan of yours for some years and recently became a fan of his due to your recent videos. Thanks for keeping it up.

[@HandlingItAll]

No body cares where it came from or which side of the border but yall definitely didn't invent eating goat or anything in these methods. Been done like this thousands of years all over the earth. This flex about which state did it or what side of the border or what is Tex Mex or Mexican is bogus. I guarantee if someone thinks they invented something in cooking, 9 times out of 10 they didn't and are about six centuries late to the game.

[@SuperJm1200]

[@QuantaSolace]

That Alex Jones impression was spot on. 😂 Anyways, I'm not a fan of goat but that looked good.

[@rafaelsancheziii2885]

Looks good, can you get the same results with a bigger goat, then you would have more meat for a bigger crowd.
