This is my favorite Mexican restaurant in Calaveras County by far. They have the best chips and salsa. Ask for the hot salsa. I had the wet carnitas burrito and it was amazing! The marinated pork was bursting with flavor. They also have Italian dishes which I have not tried yet. I definitely will be back. I highly recommend this place to anybody in the area. read more

Gabby's Cuisine - Amazing carnitas wet burrito! - Mexican Near Me - Murphys, California

I've been craving chicken enchiladas with green sauce for weeks, and finally caved. I had heard that Gabby's was good, but hadn't had a chance to check them out yet. They did not disappoint! The chicken was on point, obviously freshly grilled as opposed to being the shredded stuff that some other Mexican restaurants in the area keep at unsafe temperatures for extended periods of time. The beans had a lot of flavor, and overall everything tasted fresh. I hope that this place does well! read more

Great location, across from Milliaire tasting room. Wonderful service and food, with a choice of spirits. Close to several tasting rooms. Beautiful outside terrace when it's not too hot. Worth the visit! read more

My favorite Mexican place ever!!!!!!!!!! No disappointments. NADA!! Wish they serve in our city. Will go back after a long trip to the town of Murphy Ca. read more

Walked in Saturday at 1:30 and we eventually had a good meal. The wet burrito was delicious, the tamale was Okay. While waiting for our meal more folks started showing up. The staff person worked very hard but was completely swamped. One server was valiantly trying to cover the whole place. In spite of being buried with customers they continued to seat folks many of whom left after waiting for far too long. On Labor Day weekend they were totally unprepared. Almost laughable to see them doing takeout orders while they couldn't take care of the customers they had. If I was one of the few staffers I'd have strong words for the manager. read more

My mother and I had a nice lunch at Gabby's. It is nice to find a reasonably priced place in Murphys. It seems that the restaurant prices have really jumped over the last 5 years. So Gabby's was a nice alternative. We had the sopes and soft tacos. We especially liked the sopes which is a masa base that is topped with refried beans, meat, salsa, and cheese. We had one with carnitas and green sauce and the other with al pastor and red sauce. Both were delicious and topped with a generous amount of meat for $3.50 each. We had a couple $3.00 al a carte tacos which were also served with a generous amount of meat, onions, cilantro, and red or green salsa. The chips and salsa were made in house. We asked for some additional hot sauce and were brought out a home made green avocado salsa that was very good and not overly spicy. Definitely ask for the spicy green salsa. You won't be disappointed. Lunch for 2...$22 including tip. FYI. As of this writing, they don't have a beer and wine license yet, but should be coming soon. read more

The best Mexican food I have eaten in the USA. I have been coming here for years and had just about everything on the menu. It is all delicious! Flavors are off the charts. Service is friendly and professional. read more

3.5 stars Pleasant server, great location with outdoor seating. Had the mole chicken and the sauce was really good and the portion almost too much. (not a bad thing) but they should have brought out more corn tortillas so balance they amount of chicken. The other dish was a taco bowl with chicken. This was the disappointment. It lacked flavor. Stick with the mole chicken and you'll be happy. read more

Fantastic food! Enjoyed the molcajete and Brian's special which was chicken in mole. Great chips and salsa! Wonderful service and great prices. read more

First of all calling this place authentic Mexican food is a far far stretch... and the pasta they have is also very can/jar. Besides the food being very can and microwave the service was worse than a truck stop diner. Waited 20 min for a refill of a soda from a machine that I could see in my eye sight. My sister in law told the waiter 2 times not to forgot my nieces Salmon and after all yhe plates come out and he didnt serve my niece we wait patiently for about 15 min and then we ask him and he is completely obvious to what Salmon we ment . So food is sub-par , service was horrible. Then at the end of it when we finally got the Salmon it was old and tasted like rubber. The bill was hilarious because they tried to charge us for tortillas that came with the meal and the Salmon that we only got half the meal and 40 min after everyone elses food came out. Now lets say you just want a drink that is also a very disappointing bottom shelf watery margarita. All and all this place sucked! read more

We had lunch here today. It was, surprisingly and awesomely, the best burrito I've had in years!! read more

This was our first time visiting Murphy's. We decided to give this place a try. The food was great. Our server Jimena was wonderful. She was very helpful. She recommended some great dishes to us. We chose Brian's favorite and it was amazing. We will definitely be coming back to Gabbys. read more

Stopped in here on Veteran's Day after the wait at a very-nearby restaurant was over 20min in the middle of the day. The place was almost empty except for a friendly older couple who immediately asked us if we'd been here before, because if not, we were going to love it. They were right! This place is a hidden, undiscovered gem! I know that someday soon there will be many more customers inside on the regular. Service was friendly and fast, and the food was absolutely delicious with good portion sizes. I am ready to go back already. Try Gabby's! read more

Excellent food with large portions! Very clean restaurant. We were able to sit outside and enjoy the town at the same time.

Service was horrible. We sat down and were completely ignored. A table that walked in ten minutes after us was served first as we sat and watched them enjoy their food for fifteen more minutes before our food finally came out. When I asked the waitress about why they did not serve us our food in order she got very defensive and said the other table had ordered first, which was not true. We were never checked on even though we were a party of seven with three children. To get our bill we had to stand by the counter and ask several employees for our bill, again we were ignored. Food was good but definitely not worth the horrible service. We will not be coming back. read more

This place is great! Get Brian's Favorite! The mole is awesome and the location is great, you won't regret going ! Been a few times and always good food . read more

servers have no enthusiasm and barely any personality. painfully slow service. when the food finally came, it was cold and mediocre at best. not worth the money and definitely not worth the time. it's a shame because this is a good location and it could have great potential but the effort just isn't there read more

Wonderful tacos... 1 shrimp and 1 el pastor. Yum! I usually get the green sauce which I love, but tonight I tried the red sauce... loved it! I could have made a meal out of the chips and salsa! read more

Great meal , Great service. I had the taco salad and horchata . Warm and welcoming dining room

There pesto pasta was amazing ! The ravioli were so good! Definitely recommend if you are in the area!

We had lunch here last Wednesday, i had the brushetta which was the best I have ever had. The flavors blended and melted in your mouth. My husband had the steak quesadeillia which was the thickest we have ever seen. The service was prompt and very friendly. I am still thinking of that brushetta days later and have reccomended it to our friends read more

Everything about lunch was excellent. The place is clean, neatly set up and the room big. Unfortunately for the owner it was almost empty due to bad weather. Service was prompt and friendly, and fresh homemade chips and homemade salsa were on the table immediately. The waitress helped my choose from a fairly big menu. She recommended the regular wet burrito as a popular item (It is called wet because the sauce is poured on top). I chose carnitas and it was a good call.Because they had a special on the menu I got a drink free with lunch. The burrito was massive, fresh ingredients wrapped in a flour tortilla with a mildly spiced red sauce. Topped with cheese and a sprinkle of cilantro, everything was cooked properly and tasted great. It was more than I could eat, so I brought it home for later. Total bill was less than $10 (plus tip). The owner is also the cook and her name really is Gabby (maybe Gabriella?) a friendly and cheerful person. The place is relatively new and has not yet built a following. The location is actually on Main Street, though the door faces the side street so do not be fooled, it is near all the wineries and shops in town. This is one of three Mexican places in Murphys, and at this point I would rank it above the others, even though I like them too. read more

This was my first visit to Gabby's and the meal was great from start to finish. Her fresh made tortilla chips with salsa were very light and delicious. The regular margarita I ordered was one of the best I have had in a long time. I ordered enchiladas with steak meat and red sauce which were accompanied by very creamy refried beans, rice and a small salad which were all very delicious. My husband ordered the same with the addition of a chili relleno which he said was very good. You won't be disappointed if you are in the mood for good Mexican food! read more

All 3 of our meals were terrible. I had to send back my tamale as it was still frozen on the inside. Got a steak burrito instead and it was not good. The meat was not good, the red sauce was odd, kind of like marinara almost. Nachos weren't even good and how do you screw up nachos? Italian and Mexican are 2 cuisines that should probably not be mixed. Will not be back. read more

This place is awesome! They have the best fajitas we have ever had. And, though it isn't on the menu, they have a great house made sangria. This is definitely a place to go for great Mexican food! read more

I love this restaurant! I have only been twice & each meal was amazing! Great street tacos & homemade tortilla chips were delightful! I love that they serve Stella on draft too! read more

All guac and salsas made daily along with chips; great Italian food too. Personable help nice atmosphere

This place was so surprisingly good! We were starving and didn't want to empty the bank in order to eat at alchemy, and we stumbled upon this new restaurant. We decided to try the al pastor sope and pork tamale, both with red sauce. The sope was the best thing I've ever had from any Mexican restaurant I've ever gone to. The al pastor had a delicious char and it was just so delicious. The tamale masa was light and just the right amount of sweet. The only thing I would suggest is adding more pork to the tamale. Otherwise, I would have given it 5 stars. The waitress was also very sweet and left us alone which is exactly how I like it. Definitely worth a try! read more

Had the Italian which is in the menu full time. Lobster ravioli and the penne with sausage. Both were delicious...not too heavy. Service was friendly and even had the chance to talk to the owner who told us the story of how they opened. Give it a try!! You won't regret it! read more

Good atmosphere, friendly service and great authentic Mexican and Italian cuisine at a reasonable price. Two thumbs up.

This is absolutely my favorite Mexican food place ever. We were seated very quickly and the food arrived very quickly as well. The food was amazing beyond anything I've ever had. I really recommend this place! read more

Food was fresh, fresh, fresh! Sat outside and enjoyed the Murphy's atmosphere. Didn't want to sit inside as inside aesthetic was flat/slightly drab. Cannot go wrong with food! Guacamole was superb and the chips, yumm. read more

I wish I could give one star. I am sitting here currently. Terrible. Just terrible service.

My son will be having his wedding reception here in a few weeks. This evening we met with staff to review plans and tried a couple of dishes. The food was excellent and the service was fast and friendly. The restaurant is on the corner on Main and Jones and has a very comfortable atmosphere...very pleased with Gabby's Cuisine! read more

I just had the super nachos with pork, and it was everything I could wish for: tasty, good looking, reasonably priced, and very generously sized. The service was very pleasant. The setting is friendly, with a roomy indoors dining area and (when the weather permits) a comfortable outdoor area. My experiences here are very different than that reported in the two-star review. read more

We are locals and eat here often. Maybe even too often! The portions, especially the burritos, are large. The carnitas tacos are delicious. The nachos will fill you up for the rest of the day. Everything is made from scratch and has authentic flavors. The owner Tomas is so nice and his wife Gabriela does the cooking. Anxious to try the Italian food, but I just can't quit the tacos! read more

We heard good things about this place and were excited to try it out. There's not much ambience inside, but we were hoping the food would make it well worth it. I made reservations because Murphys had a popular concert going on and it was a crowded early evening. When you walk in this place to be seated you don't even know where to stand because there's no obvious spot to be greeted and to wait. We did get seated quickly and were served chips and salsa, but we were completely ignored for over 20 minutes. Not one person even acknowledged us to tell us they'll be with us soon, let alone take our drink order at the very least. It was clear that they were busy and didn't have the experience or the training to handle a busy night. One server was only helping one table the entire time and one young server was putting people on a waitlist and not doing much else. There was a kid helping out the same table the entire time as well. The table next to us were also ignored the entire time we were there and probably walked out as well. We were very disappointed and won't be trying this place out ever again. Terrible service. read more

Fantastic service and delicious food. I had the chx enchilada and it was cooked perfectly. Good ingredients and nice atmosphere. I'll be coming back on my next trip to Murphy's! read more

Very poor food and service. Had lunch there yesterday with my boyfriend and our 2.5 year-old. They were not busy and still service was very slow, after the waitress brought our food we never saw her again. I had to go in and ask for more napkins and refill on our drinks. I had the super wet burrito, was suppose to come w sour cream and it had none. The burrito tasted like they used two day old ingredients and almost no meat. My daughter got a dry over cooked obviously frozen hamburger patty. My boyfriend had a Cesar salad he said was ok. The prices are way to high as well, not worth the money. I was very disappointed and will not be back. read more

This turned out to be an excellent choice for Mexican food. The Mole was fabulous. The corn tortillas and chips were high quality home made, very tasty--I judge hard on chip quality! The staff was very friendly and helpful. We were walking through town and found them by accident. It was a bit warm so we ate inside and the interior is obviously new, attractive and very clean. I highly recommend Gabby's. read more
