The menu at Mi Cabaña is a lovingly curated journey through Mexico’s culinary highlights.

Those seeking satisfying comfort food options will appreciate the specials like the Gorditas Plate, which offers three stuffed gorditas accompanied by traditional rice and beans—a perfect blend of textures and homestyle flavors.

My son and I have been coming to Mi Cabaña for about 2 years. My "go to plate" immediately became the Tampiqueña Plate. What makes it superior to other Mexican restaurants is they serve a very generous serving of sirloin! My Son loves the "B Combo plate" which cones with about 5 different Mexican items! They start you with a tasty bowl of tortilla soup just to get your juices going! We love this place and the prices a pretty good for the great food and generous servings. You can't go wrong!

Good food at good prices. Group of 3 got there 30 minutes before closing no issues from the staff. The greeted us with a smile and seated us right away. No rushing at all from the staff they let us eat at our leisure and offered more drink even after closing. Definitely will come back again if I'm in El Paso/Socorro.
