    Enchiladas
    Stephanie B.

    Awesome find in the area. Was pleasantly surprised at the food, especially given the quirky Mexitalian menu options. Everyone really enjoyed their plates and dish after dish we were left impressed. From the limey guacamole to the molcajete all the way to the flan & custard filled churros. The icing on top was the warm, friendly service received. The only thing lacking here was (1) some repellent for the outdoors to minimize mosquitos as the sun goes down & (2) some music outside to elevate the vibes. All in all, if I'm back in the area, I'd come to Gabby's!

    Molcajete

    Good food and great service. Food seemed to take a little long to come out but once it did it was great!

    We have had lunch at Gabby's two times and both times we had the steak nachos. They are delicious. We like to eat on the patio and enjoy the quaint town. Service is always great. We look forward to eating here each time we visit!

    Refried Beans, Chile Relleno with Prawns and Garlicky Mexican Rice, delicious!
    Dexter D.

    Yes, Gabby's offers both a Mexican and an Italian Menu. No, it is not a fusion restaurant. You won't find Spaghetti Burritos or Chile Relleno Pizzas. What we found was straight forward delicious food that warmed our bodies and fed our bellies. We thought of all the combinations of Mexican/Italian we could order to see how they'd go together but at the end, we stuck to our standard for judging Mexican food. Chile Rellenos. She got a standard platter and I got one with Prawns added on top. We were in town during Murphys Day, the annual holiday celebration somewhat minimized because of the COVID-19 Pandemic. Usually, there's a parade down Main Street and the kids get to sit on Santa's lap. Not so this year. They still closed down Main Street at 5pm. Fire Pots were set up in the middle of the street and when it got dark, they were lit to keep people warm as they walked up and down the streets greeting friends and shopping while the shops stayed open late (the streets re-opened at 8pm). Because we had been warned that most of the restaurants would not be taking reservations for dinner and that there would be crowds, we did most of our walking starting at 3pm. When we decided to go to Gabby's for dinner, we walked in and asked what time would be safe to ensure we would get a table. Stephanie told us that 5pm would be okay and she checked in the kitchen to get a couple of questions answered for me. We arrived on time and changed from an outside table to an inside one. It was chilly out! Service was great. The chips were fresh. The salsa delicious, so much so, that we asked for a second container. The food was hot. The kitchen was fast. When it got close to 6pm, I told the server that I'd like a cup of the Ponche. She said that the owner had asked her if I'd like a complimentary shot added to it. I thanked her but said no thanks. This came up because I had asked earlier if the Ponche had alcohol in it. To me, this was an extraordinary attention to customer service that a question asked at the beginning of the meal was still on the owners mind at the end of the meal. Great crew. Great food. We highly recommend Gabby's!

    This place is THE perfect stop from a long hike at the park. We sat at the relatively private but open and shady outdoor seating area. It is absolutely gorgeous. Customer service is excellent. I can't remember the name of the young lady who served us (Hermana?) but she was very attentive, friendly and professional. As far as the food, this was the most difficult decision-Mexican or Italian? In the end, we went for Italian and it did not disappoint. Everything tasted so fresh and flavorful. We even took a pic with Gabby (chef). She was very friendly, accommodating and a really nice person. Lots of parking, clean restrooms and plenty of shops/wine-tasting places that are walking distance to the restaurant. I highly recommend Gabby's cuisine and will definitely try Mexican cuisine next time. Thanks Gabby and staff for the amazing experience!

    Asada tacos
    Jess C.

    I found this place based on Yelp reviews. The pictures enticed me and the food didn't disappoint! The flavors were on point! I always order a mole plate when trying a New Mexican restaurant. If they can sole mole right than they get my vote! Gabby's cuisine made one of the best mole sauces I've had in awhile. The drinks were delicious and generously poured. We each had a classic margarita on the rocks and we loved them. The only downfall to this place was the lack of service. The servers were very friendly and apologetic, but it was obvious they were understaffed. I appreciated them doing their best but they definitely needed a few more in the kitchen or keeping tables full of chips and salsa.

    Super nachos with al pastor
    Cindy C.

    Just ate here for lunch. It's really surprising to have such good Mexican food in this area. We ordered the super burrito, super nachos, and mocajete with 2 mango margaritas and michalada mix with modello. Service was good, and they have outdoor seating that I wish we could've taken advantage of, especially on the sunny day. Indoor seating is plenty and clean. The molcajete is a MUST! It reminded us of our Cabo vacation, but better... Their al pastor meat is seasoned just as good as Mexico that we remember.

    Mango margarita  super delicious
    Sandra M.

    Everything was delicious and the mango margarita Was to die for thank you great costumer service

    Al pastor tacos
    Jaclyn S.

    Oh my goodness this place is good! We didn't venture into the Italian menu but the Mexican food was fabulous. I think it was just one girl doing the serving and she was on it. The Al pastor tacos were so so good and my husband loved his burrito. Also the chips and salsa were so delicious! The chips were warm and thick and the salsa had awesome flavor.

    Carnitas tacos  they are so amazing

    We were in the area over the weekend, and we decided to take my girlfriend's parents here for a…read morelittle lunch. Turns out we left with much more! We ordered a few things such as as the duck prosciutto sandwich, raw oysters, clam chowder, and the absolute star of the show, a side of the spicy habanero garlic butter! The bread for the duck prosciutto sandwich was amazing. I just wish they put more meat and/or fixing because the sandwich was on the smaller side given the price tag. Tasty for sure, especially dipping the sandwich into the garlic butter. Oysters were super fresh, and wouldn't hesitate to order again. They have a bunch of jams and hot sauces that you can buy to take home, along with pre-packaged habanero garlic butter (which we ended up buying and have been putting on everything we've been eating). Definitely recommend picking up this butter for at-home cooking because it adds a nice layer of spice to any meal without being overly spicy. For the jams, there's so many options and the staff was kind enough to do a jam sampling with us and after tasting we ended up with a jar of their padron pepper jelly. Put it on my sandwich at home, instantly elevated it to another level. Staff from start to finish was a 10/10. Very kind, super attentive, and made us feel very welcomed. Overall, I'll definitely will be back to buy more of the spicy garlic butter and jams!

We've done both take out as will as dine in and have good experiences both times, although they definitely seem to do a larger volume of takeout orders. The inside dining has not been busy either time we were there, even on a holiday weekend. It could have to do with the fact it's not directly on the mainstreet, but it is a quick drive. The inside space would be good for groups as well and also kids. The menu is a mix of chinese and vietnamese cuisine, with some added outlier beverages like boba tea and smoothies. There are vegetarian appetizers as well as entrees. The prices are reasonable for the portion size. We tried the tofu spring rolls to start, and for our entrees we had the Tofu Pho and Szechuan Vegetables. The spring roles were tasty and came with a delicious peanut sauce. The entrees came out piping hot, and they gave us the standard add ons for Pho and had sriracha, hoisin, soy sauce and chili oil to add as well. The Szechuan vegetables had a good portion and came with white rice. Lots of broccoli, snow peas, zucchini and onions. The staff is very friendly and also funny, definitely one of the things we like about coming here. A great option in Murphys and we'd happily come back in the future.

I had enough left over for another full meal. Several beers to choose from, including a Lagunitas IPA. And of course the rooster Sriracha sauce was there for customers to add heat as desired.

We are…read morevegetarians and have limited options in Murphys but I noticed some veggie sushi rolls listed on the menu and some curries/noodle dishes so decided to try it. Some things to note, highly encourage reservation ahead of time. We got there an hour before closing on a Sunday and even though there was a table open they almost didn't seat us. It is small on the inside with limited tables so I would not say it's great for groups. They stop serving about 30 minutes before the posted closing time and don't make exceptions. We ended up ordering a Jenni role which had tofu/cream cheese/cucumber inside and avocado/panko/doke sauce outside and it was seriously amazing. Although there were only two veggie roll options on the menu I could easily eat two of this roll alone. Things only got better with the curry. I assumed the curry was going to be Japanese style, but they are actually more thai style yellow and panang curry options. Unfortunately the Udon and Ramen dishes are not vegetarian as they are made with fish broth. But the yellow curry was perhaps the best yellow curry we've ever had (and we are a bit of curry snobs). The sauce was lighter than a traditional thai yellow curry and it had a delicious sweet finish. The veggies were tasty and fresh. When we come back to Murphys I will certainly be going for this curry again. I do wish they had a few more vegetarian options, but very glad the ones they do are outstanding.

The food was surprisingly good for being the only sushi place in town so overall I'm happy it exists. I'll definitely try to stop by again!!
