I wanted to try the new place in town. Cute restaurant, neutral on the service but okay. Also food is okay, escargot not good though too slimy. Very good beverages With decent selection. As a long time resident and French-Spanish woman I do not understand why you use a derogatory name for your place? Unless it was intentional? Or you think no one local will know the meaning? We have many progressive people in this city and try to spread only kindness and compassion to all. I hope you consider this, would be nice to see a French style restaurant last here. Thank you. read more

First time trying this new, local eatery featuring French/Latin fusion fare. It's right up the street from the very best Glendora has to offer, Speakeasy Friday at Coco Vino so I thought it wise to give the new kid on the block a try before enjoying some wine & jazz. Joined by two longtime friends, one of which resides in Paris part time, we were all pleased with the service and food we sampled. My Parisian pal began with a plate of escargot. He assured me that Gabacho had done an excellent job preparing the dish. Certainly, the presentation of the dish was quite inviting. I was content to take his word for it but when pressed to try one, I sampled the escargot and was delightfully surprised at the pleasant taste, and texture! Meanwhile my other friend and I tried soup appetizers. He had the tomato, I ordered the French onion. My friend remarked that his tomato soup was delicious. For me, the French onion was very good, if not the best I've had. Seems every restaurant has a slightly different take on this classic standard. Photos of our appetizers will be included with this review. However, for some reason I did not take any photos of our 3 main courses. Perhaps it was because we were too enamored with the meal?! Anyway , suffice it to say we were happy with our choices. I had the pan roasted chicken breast. It was quite tasty. My Parisian paisan had the Salmon A La Almendra. He was pleased. Our 3rd party guest had the Pasta De La Mer much to his delight. The service was standard and acceptable on every level. With two friends visiting from out of town I could not be happier with the choice I made to give Gabacho a try. read more

The food here is phenomenal. I'm not a fan of Blu cheese but now I am because of Le Port burger The service here at Gabacho was excellent. Quick and was helpful in choosing what to order. The dinning room is beautifully lit with a worming welcoming light , nice jazz playing from hidden speakers. I definitely will be back very soon read more

New to the area. We tried it, and it was just ok? For the price point, it's a bit over priced. The food was half and half, in regards to there are bits we liked and bits we didn't like. We got the chicken mushroom, the chicken with mushroom sauce was great! The side of potatoes and super dry salad was just ok. Not worth the price, I would want like a bougie salad but was just a plain salad. The potatoes were like scalloped potatoes, it was small and generic. We also got this seafood pasta. The seafood was cooked well, but gave the tiniest piece of salmon with no skin. The cream sauce was so watery and the pasta was bland. Again, not trying to be that person but for that price point maybe fresh pasta or something. The dessert dish leveled it out. We got the crème brûlée French toast, that was superb. It was done well to where you don't even realize they used a French baguette as the toast instead of the usual brioche. I would recommend this dish. Because of this dish, we thought about maybe coming and giving a second shot at the breakfast because half the menu seemed like breakfast. Restaurant was clean, staff was nice and tentative. Manager was very active to some of the other tables. All in all, I don't think it's worth the price. read more

05/23/26 Second visit, this time for lunch with one of our daughters. We were seated in a booth that faces the street (like being outside without the car noise). My dear one liked the soup so much, it was a repeat. Our daughter chose the Salmon A La Almendra (salmon with orange sauce, served with salad and potato gratin). and I had Bolognese Pasta (fresh fettuccini, tomato sauce, and ground beef). The food was fabulous and the service exceptional. We met Chef David and shared our delight with his cuisine. We also enjoyed a delicious Creme Brûlée read more

Made reservation for Friday dinner and glad we did, as the place was quite popular and almost every table was full. Gabacho has been open for less than two months and still working on kinks but has lots of promise. We had seafood risotto, salmon tacos, la diabla pasta and salmon ala almendra. The diabla pasta was quite spicy and lots of meaty ingredients. I requested the seafood risotto without cheese, lots of seafood though the rice tasted less than arborio and more like calrose rice. Salmon ala almendra was very large portion though a bit overwhelming with the sweet orange sauce. We shared a creme brulee, tasty and reminded me more of a crema Catalun. Overall, we enjoyed our meal at a nicely decorated restaurant. read more

Gabacho in Glendora Village is such a great addition to the area. The restaurant is beautiful inside with a welcoming, upscale vibe that works for both brunch and dinner. We started with an Arnold Palmer and strawberry lemonade both refreshing and well balanced. For food, the mango goat cheese salad was fresh with a nice mix of sweet and tangy. The Vache sandwich was the standout for me super soft, juicy steak with a rich mushroom sauce that brought everything together perfectly. The La Diabla pasta was also flavorful with a nice kick. We ended with the French toast, which was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside definitely a great way to finish the meal. Overall, a really solid dining spot with unique flavors. Looking forward to coming back and trying more of the menu. read more

Omigosh, EVERYTHING WAS SO GOOD! A little pricey, but scrumptious. The ambience is lovely in a bougie way. Everyone in our party of 7 loved what they had. FYI, if you're going for frog legs I'd call and check first... I believe it's no longer on the menu read more

Made it out to Gabacho for their opening day dinner!!! Absolutely beautiful revamp on what was Glendora's Village Eatery location! Loved the warm lighting and decor and the beautiful wall murals. Would've preferred some sort of French café inspired music for the ambience, but instead we were listening to what sounded like wedding dinner music. He got the chicken breast plate with mushroom and it was plated beautifully!! The au gratin was delicious, but lacked a lil seasoning. The salad could of used more dressing. I ordered the carbonara pasta and it was rich, and creamy, with the egg yolk to mix in to my pasta. Our waitress was lovely and very attentive! And we enjoyed being greeted by Nelson, as well as Chef David! Been stalking Gabacho for awhile now on INSTAGRAM and I look forward to coming back for breakfast soon!!! Welcome to Glendora Gabacho!!! You were delicious!!! read more

This place just opened on Thursday, and having lived in France. We wanted to come and check out the quality of the food and whether it really is true French style. We were very excited as the quality of the food was excellent, the service was on point and the management were regularly walking around, asking for feedback and checking in on customers. It was a wonderful experience, and the ambience was very nice for families, couples for all types of occasions. This place serves breakfast, brunch and lunch. There's a great choice on the menu! My only wish is that an Oat Latte should not cost $8.49, that is too much for a local restaurant. read more

When I say "wow," I truly mean it. This venue is absolutely stunning, definitely picture perfect with amazing service that enhances the entire experience. The atmosphere gave us nothing but a warm feeling. Their food was outstanding, fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. I was especially impressed by their fresh squeezed orange juice. As someone who genuinely appreciates high quality orange juice, I was initially hesitant after reading a less favorable review. However, I can confidently say it exceeded my expectations and was among the best I've ever had. I look forward to returning again soon. read more

A wonderful addition to downtown Glendora that we were excited to try. We dined on a beautiful Friday night. The patio was full and a musician was playing. Inside the decor was comfortable with private booths in green, a green flowered mural on one wall, and a tree of leaves moving up the ceiling - though fake, was well executed. Pleasant music played in the background. The service was well-timed with someone greeting us immediately and water served promptly. We brought our own wine and there was a reasonable corkage fee. The dinner was delicious. I had the Risotto Del Mar and my husband had the Halibut. We are looking forward to our next visit. My only suggestion to the owners is to serve the bread before the meal (vs with). It also could benefit both businesses if a wine deal was struck with Coco Vino down the street. read more

Got the Italian omelette, garden omelette both were delicious. Came with fresh bread, potatoes and salad. We ate everything The Italian omelette came with fresh avocado, tomato and cheese. .pesto sauce was not too strong. Also, got the French toast, it was delicious. Perfection! Food presentation a 10/10 Beautifully decorated place. Robert was all by himself in the opening hour, however, he was very friendly and helpful. Coffee was on point, not too strong, nor weak and no acidity. This place gets full fast, it's a must try. Their menu has a great variety to pick from. Not the boring eggs, bacon, sausage with hash brown . The Missing star it's because when the other servers came , this young girl completely ignored our table, we asked for her help and pretended no to have head us. All we wanted was more coffee to enjoy our French toast. Will be going back to el Gabacho! read more

Have been to the establishment before. The food is good but pricey. The wait when we've been there previously has been long (1.5 hrs for lunch service for three people) but thought it was because it was a newer place, so we gave grace as they were working the kinks out in their service times. Today, my family and I went in 20 minutes after they had opened and there were many seats available. An older gentleman told us that it would be a few minutes, which many, many minutes. He came and filled up water glasses where we were waiting by the bar to be seated. We saw that he was on his phone behind the bar during this time. After waiting some time for a seat (we had four in our group) we and not being acknowledged again, we left. While I understand some days you can be short staffed, it makes it hard to keep customers with continued slow service such as this. We may be back for pickup only to spend our gift card or may give to a friend. We are all about supporting small business, but it's just too much. read more

Gabacho is a French / Latin American restaurant in Glendora, California. Gabacho has a very comfortable atmosphere with soothing background music and is a great place to carry on a conversation. The owner and chef, David, was warm, welcoming, and very friendly, as well as all of the other staff members. We had the escargot appetizer and the artichoke dip. The escargot, which is one of my favorite dishes, was cooked in garlic, butter, lemon, and parsley. It was awesome. If you've never tried it, try it! And if you had it anywhere else and didn't like it, keep in mind not every place that serves escargot knows what they're doing. Gabacho, in Glendora, California, is not one of those places! The flavors were awesome. The escargot was tender, not chewy, the best I've had in recent memory and a very long time. The artichoke dip was also tasty and served with tortilla chips; however, I believe it pairs better with the bread that they serve. I wanted to try the frog legs. Yes, they have that as well, but they were out. I plan on trying the frog legs next time I go. The two entrées that we ordered were the chicken breast with the piccata madeira and mushroom sauce and the risotto de la Mer with fresh salmon, scallops, and shrimp in the De La Mer sauce. Both entrées were delicious, presented with a touch of class fit for a king and/ or queen. The portions were perfect at what I believe to be a very reasonable price. Another patron had ordered the ribeye steak with salad, and oh man, did that look good! I totally plan to return and try several more of the menu items. Gabacho's is my new favorite place. read more

There's a quiet meaning behind the name Gabacho. The owner once told me he chose this location because of the mountain view. After sitting here myself, I began to understand why. A city. A mountain. And a small restaurant resting somewhere in between. "Gabacho" is a word that has always carried a sense of distance, and at the same time, a sense of belonging. Somehow it feels exactly right here. The food matches the place in the same quiet way -- simple, thoughtful, and unhurried. One city. One mountain. One table. One Gabacho. Some places you visit. Some places stay with you. This one stays. read more

Very sweet and attentive I will definitely be back soon Mike M. - Monrovia read more

Enjoyed our brunch today! This place is just beautiful I wish we asked for seating near the front windows, though. The Staff was friendly and very attentive. We walked in thinking we were underdressed because of the uniforms they had. Fortunately, they reassured us that our sweatshirts/jeans were just fine. The omelette and breakfast sandwich were both delicious. It was a little odd to have a salad and potato gratin with our meal, but both were fine. I would have liked a balsamic vinaigrette instead of ranch, though. Overall, we enjoyed our breakfast. Hope they do well! read more

New spot across the street from my salon. I was iffy to walk in but immediately the reception I received was warm and welcoming. I ordered to go but decided to eat there. I orders the rib eye omelette with a side of fruit instead of the potatoes. It was so good, a different flavor from any other place. The side fruit salad with mango bits and kale was tasty, not what I find in other restaurants and wow it did not disappoint. Staff made it all that much better experience.

I had the Crepe de la Baie, and the texture of the crepe was not dry at all, the shrimp was fresh and tender, and they use real crab. My husband enjoyed his omelette, especially the brie, and it came with a couple pieces of baguette on the side. The baguette had the perfect crisp on the outside and was very soft in the middle.

Gabacho definitely delivered. We started with the prosciutto bruschetta, which was a great choice--fresh, flavorful, and a perfect way to kick things off. For mains, I had the 12oz ribeye with the madeira mushroom sauce, and it was cooked just right--tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. We also ordered the chicken alfredo pasta, which was rich, creamy, and really satisfying. On top of the food, the service was excellent.
