Gabriela is one of my favorite restaurants in Cincinnati. But tonight with a friend, we got to try…read moretheir kamayan event and had an unforgettable meal. The event had 10 of us and was eating with our hands off banana leaves. We reserved our tickets in advance for a seafood menu and it was creative and flavorful (especially the Caesar salad and dessert). The seafood and fruit were delicious, my favorite being the bangus fish. We were in a semi private room in Factory 52 and there was entertainment for lunar new year. Service was attentive and explained the meal throughly. I look forward to their next event!

I got the lechon belly bowl w/ all the fixings and java rice, egg rolls, and ube cookie…read more I must've went there during an event because I didn't expect it to be alive and crackin like that lol. Gabriela's is placed in a food hall (Gatherall) or food court. The service was great but I thought the food was alright. I was expecting real Filipino food w/ a slight twist and I got that BUT wanted it to hit home. The only way I could describe this type of food is like a chipotle for Filipino food. Maybe I should try something else next time. The pork belly lechon itself was good but I was hoping just a little more traditional. I'm not hating on it whatsoever BUT if you're Filipino and expect something traditional, this isn't it. Veggie egg rolls were ok. And nothing stood out with the ube cookie.

Aloha! Great Food!!…read more This is the closest thing to food from home. Uncle came out and greeted me to see how everything was and I said great. I was almost full til he came out with dessert. You cant say no that! I'm in Ohio for work for a month and I'll definitely be coming back. Mahalo!!!!

I came here with a few of my coworkers and we threw down here. 4 people all together!!!…read more I should have take a picture of the table because our table was covered with food. Each person had about 3 entrees from the menu and everyone loved what they got. The owner came to our table out of curiosity because he said he's never seen a group like us order so much food and EAT ALL OF IT! Lol!!! We're from Seattle and we throw down! He was such a good person. He reminded me of my uncle or elder. He was talking to us about the history of chicken and where it originated from along with the sago dessert. Super informational. I love the history of cultures and how food brings everyone together and he did that. This place made me feel like I was at my uncles house. Very family friendly feel. If you haven't been here yet, ya'll better come through!!!! This place is the $hit hands down!

We were looking for a good spot on the West Side that was not a chain. Christine's hit the spot!…read more The service was amazing - very attentive. Rhea was fantastic! The food was excellent. Highly recommend the chili and meatloaf. One of the best meatloafs around. My mother had the pot roast - fantastic. My husband had the chicken chorizo- he'd order again. My kids highly recommend the chicken tenders and grilled cheese. If on the West Side don't miss this one.

We really like the food that we usually order. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I ordered…read morethe eggrolls and they were very tasty. 8 rolls for less than $15 was reasonable. The sauce adds a spicy kick. My wife was very happy with her taco salad. The restaurant seemed to be clean and well maintained. We usually order our meals to go, nice establishment.

Come with me to The Empanada's Box! Nestled in the heart of Covington, this small restaurant brings…read morebig flavors to the city! Buenos Aires native, Diego Nunez, opened the Covington location in June of 2022 & he's bringing us Argentine style empanadas with a delicious twist, including authentic flavors from around the world. He & his team have curated 16 varieties of empanadas that you can either have hot & ready or you can get them frozen to take home for a family dinner, a special event, or just a late night snack! I got the Chips & Salsa, Esquites, and Chicago, Buenos Aires & Banana Empanadas. Everything is hot & fresh, the bold flavors hit bite after bite & I could eat their Chimichurri on anything! The service was excellent as well, everyone was so kind & welcoming! My favorite bites were the Buenos Aires Empanada & the Esquites. I highly recommend! Have you tried them yet?

I'm a sucker for good Empanadas. When my Mr mentioned this place, I could not pass it up…read more 100% authentic Argentinian. Lucas the owner was really down to earth. His uncle has been making empanadas for 28 years. Wow! Respect. They have everything you can think of. Beef, chicken, vegan, pork, veggie and sweet. There's something for everyone. Besides the empanadas you can get some sides (a la carte) rice, salads and more! They also do catering. We wanted to try a variety, so we ordered: -Buenos Aires- ground beef, onion, bell pepper, green onion -Singapore-garlic buttered spinach, mozzarella, Parmesan -Parma- ham, mozzarella, Parmesan, oregano, green onion -Buffalo-Buffalo chicken, mozzarella It was hard to choose a favorite because they were all top notch. The fresh Chimichurri sauce enhanced the flavor. I would definitely come back again! Pricing is reasonable and they are so good!

The amount of meat included was minimal--about the size of a single McDonald's chicken nugget. And before anyone asks, no, we did not order a vegetarian option. Beyond the portion size, the food itself just wasn't very impressive. The flavors didn't live up to the hype, and the overall meal felt underwhelming for the price. I don't mind paying for quality food, but I do expect portions and taste that justify the cost. I always like supporting local businesses and wanted to enjoy this experience, but sadly, it missed the mark for me. Hopefully this was just an off day, but based on my visit, I don't see myself returning.
