Place was busy, service was a tiny bit slow. Not a problem though as I was with good company and enjoyed the margaritas, chips and queso. Yummy! The ambiance was great, the patio was lovely... not to mention the view of the Sangre's. Ps. The food was delicious! read more

We visited on a busy night and unfortunately, the service really struggled to keep up. After being seated, we were left unattended for a long time before anyone took our order, and our food arrived quite late. We chose to sit outside, and the patio itself has a really nice vibe and setup. However, it was overrun with too many bugs, which made it difficult to fully relax and enjoy the evening. As for the food, it was overall just okay. The flavors were decent, but my main complaint is the temperature, everything arrived on the warm side, and I really wish it had been served hot, especially when asked for Fajitas- after the long wait. It's a beautiful spot with potential, but they definitely need more staff to handle busy hours and better pest control for the outdoor seating. read more

We came for Valentines. Brought my 83 yr old dad. It was amazing! Chocolate cake, flan and the best food! Jorge was a great server! He makes great margaritas and is actually a bar tender too. The guacamole looked amazing! Hands down the flan is sooooo good! I loved the queso too and it's enough to share! If you want to impress bring them here. Soooo good! Can't wait to come in the summer to sit outside! read more

Desserts, drinks, and beautiful architecture are definitely worth going back for. Inside and outdoor seating are equally gorgeous; can't go wrong either way. Entrees were alright (crab enchiladas were not my favorite but the beans and corn served alongside were delicious). I loved the variety in drinks and the piñon sprinkled on the ice creams. The sopaipillas were a little thick. Servers were attentive despite their need to walk around lots of corners. read more

This is a very authentic place. We had good service. We started with the tablesiide guacamole. I prefer my guacamole with less "stuff" in it, to better taste the avocado, and it was very salty. Alternating bites of salsa helped. We then shared the crab enchiladas, husband liked. I guess i prefer my crab so that it's the star, not with a lot of cheese. They were served with good black beans and my favorite-corn! read more

Lovely restaurant in Santa Fe, NM! My husband is in Santa Fe for a long work project, so I tagged along with him for a few days. Nearby, there aren't a lot of restaurants but I found this one on Yelp. Front desk clerk also said it was very good, so we decided to check it out. Came during an off hour, around 3pm, which was probably a good time, since they were still busy but not as busy as I'm reading peak times can be, according to Yelp reviews. Very comfy interior, very pleasant. We read that the fresh guacamole is the highlight here, which my husband was looking forward to. A lady came to our table with a cart and made fresh guac in front of us. It was like a cooking lesson too. :) Now we know how to make fresh guac at home. :) I got the carnitas burrito and husband got the Puerto Vallarta. We ended up sharing the Puerto Vallarta and saving the burrito for my lunch the following day. The Puerto Vallarta was delicious! The chicken, shrimp and cheese were wonderful, paired with the rice. The prickly pear lemonade was pretty good also. Met the manager as well as his family member (I can't remember if it was his sister or cousin?)---both were extremely welcoming and kind. They even gave us some flan to celebrate my husband's birthday. There's a lovely outdoor patio area, which seemed very popular. We opted for an interior table, so we didn't have to worry about flies (though there was one pesky one hovering around us). They're closed on Tuesdays but we can tell this place must be very popular with locals and visitors! Highly recommended if you're in the area. read more

Came with friends, this time we ordered the guac, fresh made by the table so you can customize it, we added extra jalapeño into it to have a bit more kick. The crab enchiladas are really good, but they do have cilantro mixed inside the crab meat, be aware for people don't eat cilantro because they are not just on the top. The service was really good, our waitress is very nice. Make sure to order their fountain drink, we had the melon drink it was very refreshing for hot summer read more

I wasn't sure if I should post this, but the service at Gabriel's has gotten so bad. I also heard the business has new owners, so it kinda makes sense now. I went in to eat and ordered a combination plate with a taco as part of the plate. When I got my order, I received a tamale not a taco. Not a big deal. I can eat a tamale happily. I was eating my chips and salsa and almost done with my water before anything else even came out. I ordered an alcoholic drink and was hoping for a water refill, since my glass was empty before my other drink or food came out. I was only checked on once after I ordered. I was asked if I wanted a water refill and I said yes. They took my cup and thats the last time I saw my water cup. So I'm sitting there drinking alcohol and thirsty and no water. I decided just to get my check, pack my food, and leave. I pack up my food and grab the left over chips. I grab it by the parchment paper and transfer it all to my to go box. I close my box and look down at the bowl that my chips were in and see that there's left over rice and a pea on the bottom of the bowl. This means I was served chips out of a dirty bowl with someone else's food in it. At that point, I couldn't in good conscience take my left overs home, since the bottom of the parchment paper touched that old food and was now touching my new food in my to go box. That's so disgusting. It also seems like when I go in and sit by the bar, I'm always forgotten about. I do tip well and will even tip extra if the staff is friendly and checks on me. Over a year ago I was at the restaurant and no joke I saw a roach on the wall by the tables. I let the manager know and hoped it was a one off and decided to give the restaurant one more try a year later and then these new things happen. I can't go back at this point. read more

Apologies in advance if you like this place but it was not my cup of tea. We had great service but the buck stopped there. The best part of our meal with the queso appetizer and the salsa. The chips were cooked perfectly. Then we get to the food. The chicken fajitas had no flavor. It needed more to them. While juicy, no flavor did not help. The fish tacos were meh. Honestly, I was not a fan but the reviews are mostly good so I won't hold you from trying on your own. read more

Wow! The very first restaurant we ever ate at when we first visited Santa Fe, Gabriel's is still our super happy go-to treat whenever we overnight north of Santa Fe. All of the meals are outstanding! We absolutely adore the fresh delicious table side guacamole (def come hungry or bring friends!!!!) I love that the impeccable guacamole artists can tweak ingredient amounts to your taste (for us? A lil' more garlic & jalapeños ) superb! The carne asada is so flavorful & piping hot in whatever dish we choose. Carne asada burrito, steak salad and especially the fajitas! Thanks to all the bar team all the drinks are super yummy especially our Spicy margaritas! We are always so impressed by the entire service team. From the manager to the wonderful servers (especially very attentive Karina) & all the team members who make a visit (to the patio especially) extraordinary! Can't wait to return! read more

If you're returning from Bandelier national monument back to Santa Fe, stop at Gabriel's for a well deserved margarita and guacamole. Outdoor patio seating was mostly covered and shielded from sun and wind, yet still allowed for views of the surrounding mountains. Guac was made to order at table for $18, chips tasted fresh. They had an entire page of margarita options and you really can't go wrong. We also enjoyed the flan, it was strangely bright in color. read more

We were recommended to visit Gabriel's while visiting Santa Fe and I am glad we did. The building is huge so there is a lot of room for larger parties and the style is very classic. We loved that there is a guacamole cart that is pushed around to make fresh guacamole for each table that orders it. With our table being just 2 people, we didn't want to order a huge bowl of guacamole. Our waiter offered a side of guacamole that was the perfect amount for us. And by us, I mean me because I ate every drop of guacamole. It was fresh and the perfect texture with onions and tomatoes intermixed. We both ordered virgin margaritas and were very happy with them. They had a little bit of carbonation which was a fun addition. My boyfriend ordered the carne asada burrito Christmas style and ate the whole thing. He gave it a 8/10 because "It wasn't above and beyond". I ordered the combination plate with a pork tamale and a chicken enchilada. It was great! It came out very hot which I can always appreciate. It wasn't anything out of the ordinary but it was a lovely meal. read more

This place makes all their food that is absolutely delicious, I mean every side dish, main course and desserts. We were a party of 4 and were able to sample a wide variety of items which were all great. Best churros we've ever had! The service is top notch - attentive and efficient. The atmosphere is lively but not too loud. read more

I ordered the Tacos with chicken. It took nearly 30 minutes to come out and when it did the chicken was room temperature despite the taco shells being warm, the added veggies inside the tacos were cold, and the chicken was bare and had zero seasoning. They did end up taking it off the ticket. read more

This was my third time going to Gabriel's since I live out of state. I was really looking forward to it because it was so good in the past. But this time was different. Service left something to be desired. Table next to us received their drinks etc even though they were seated after us. Took quite awhile to get our drinks. Then another long wait to order. Food finally arrived and it was ok but we didn't have silverware or plates and had to ask for those. Waiter spilled cheese all over the floor. Not a little bit but a large amount. Enough that other diners and another waiter stared at the mess and the waiter made a remark but didn't clean it up. No big deal but with everything else it was another irritating thing. Had chicken fajitas that were ok but not outstanding in any way. Kinda of a blah experience. Don't know if I'd ever go back but it could have been a really off night. read more

This happened to be the closest restaurant to our hotel so we came for dinner. It also happened to be Mother's Day and this place was packed. Being travelers, we didn't know about Gabriel's or have reservations. We're just glad that we didn't have to wait for a table. They have a large dining area and large patio. We had a table for two that was tucked away in a corner and of course they forgot about us and after a long wait we asked to see our waiter. I had a combo plate: taco, enchiladas rice and beans, can't remember what hubby got, but our food was tasty and flavorful. In our little corner, there was another couple, they re local and said that this place is always busy, we had a lovely time chatting with them as we were all waiting for service. By the time we got food and our bill, the madness had died down considerably. I noticed that all the moms get a rose when they leave. ( Yes, I've got one too). That was a nice touch. And our waitress was apologetic. I would love to come on a normal day to try out other things on the menu but that has to wait until we're in town next time. read more

We finally tried Gabriel's after three years of hearing great things about the place. I'm glad I did. The restaurant has tons of outdoor seating . There is indoor seating as well, but I always prefer outdoor seating when it's available. There is covered seating and seating in a beautiful courtyard with a fountain. The service was very attentive and friendly. The food came out quickly and without any issues. All the food was cooked perfectly with great flavor. We ordered fish tacos, ribs, and chimichanga to share. I was very happy with all three items. The portions are good and we ended up packing some to go. After the meal, we sat on the bench in the garden to enjoy the views. The area would be great to enjoy a post meal drink. I will definitely return and recommend Gabriel's. read more

The restaurant was fun and great for large parties and families. I split the Steak Fajitas with another member and the steak was juicy, tasteful, and tender. The bed of veggies was full and packed with taste, the only wish I have is that the veggies were not as oily, but this is also personal preference. Overall great time! read more

A fun place on the side of the highway. Gabriel's is huge with tons of seating and servers. Their house margarita was delicious. We also got the guacamole which is made at the table. It was good but I wish you could try it and ask for more ingredients if you wanted it. He made it then left our table without us trying it. Otherwise a great experience and look forward to going back. read more

This place was recommended to us by our neighbor who is from NM. We have always seen the sign when we are in Sante fe as we often play or stay at the Hilton Buffalo Thunder or Cities of Gold Hotel and Casino but you can't see the restaurant from the highway only the sign. As we were hungry and couldn't make up our mind where to eat, actually we wanted a something but we didn't know what so this was close and they were open. Located off the frontage road hidden by trees it's like a little hidden secret. They offer both inside and outside dining and the outside is lit up by little string lights and it's pretty romantic but there are quite a bit of tables. So privacy isn't so much there but it's a nice vibe from what we could tell. We sat inside as that was was the first available. The inside had a southwestern feel, but honestly the restaurant closed in an hour and the staff was rushing around like they had to hurry everything. I felt rushed and on the edge of uncomfortable but maybe it was just me. Our waiter greeted us and than was scarce after that. On to the food. We had guacamole freshly made at our table which was a treat , and also chips and salsa. Both were delicious. For our main i had slow cooked ribs and my wife chose a combination plate. Both were delicious. At the end of our meal once again our waiter was no where to be found so we walked up to the front and asked the manager if he could help us with paying our bill. He didn't look very happy about that because he kinda looked around for our waiter and kinda shook his head. The reason I am giving it 5 stars is because of the food and ambience. And the personalized making of the guacamole at our table. I believe if we would have gotten there earlier our experience would have been much more enjoyable and relaxed. I would definitely recommend! read more

Service for lunch was abysmal (we came at an off hour so it wasn't at all busy) with the waiter forgetting to bring things we asked for (water refill, lemonade, hot sauce...). Tortilla chips were hot and crispy, though, and came with a good salsa with a nice bit of heat! I ordered a combination plate with a tamale and beef enchilada. Pork was dry in my tamale although the masa was good. At least it was very well filled--I only had a taste before packing it away for another day, since the plate was pretty large. My enchilada came with a plentiful portion of beef with plenty of cheese and green chile on top (although I'd asked for Christmas). Rice was a bit dry but still tasty and beans were good. Sopapilla was freshly fried but came very late in the meal and was rather bland and yeasty--one member of the group said it was not a good example of a sopapilla. Guacamole, I was told was just okay, and a measly portion for $17. Ribs were very tender and tasty, though, and came with maybe 8 or 9 babyback ribs. In general, the food was fine but overpriced and the service was lacking. read more

The guac is the STAR OF THE SHOW. They make it tableside & accommodate substitutions & omissions to the recipe, as you wish. There is USUALLY a long line to get in, so plan accordingly... RESERVATIONS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Their margaritas are also cold & delicious, especially on the eve of a warm day. A GREAT way to CHILL OUT. And the HUGE patio is DOG FRIENDLY AND some of the tables have an AMAZING view of the surrounding hills! As for the food, I am less enthusiastic, though a friend who has spent a lot of time in Mexico says everything is very authentic & she loves it. I suppose I am tired of Mexican food that has rice & beans with everything... I like to be surprised with new flavor combinations. I had the chicken Mole enchiladas & they were good, but, especially for the long drive from downtown, I have other options in town I like better. Worth a try to decide for yourself & be sure to be there near sunset for pics from the patio with the hills ad background! read more

I am baffled as to why the overall ratings are only in the 3-star range. Food and service here are outstanding, one of the best places I've been in Santa Fe, all set in a delightful courtyard setting just north of town. In a perfect world, sure, I'd love to have views of the sunsets but hey, we come for the food, not the views. Guacomole and queso are the bomb - I shall return on my next visit just for these. Major shout out for the queso - deliciously spicy with chiles and tomatoes mixed in, so good you'll want to pick up the bowl and drink from it. Don't though - it would be a disservice to the tortilla chips. Guac is made right at the table which may not sound unique but the quality was purely excellent. I ordered the mole chicken for my main and despite devouring an unholy amount of chips, queso, and guac, I still managed to finish the whole dish. Loved the mix of flavors so eloquently paired together. Overall, this was one of my favorites in Santa Fe - I highly, highly recommend and certainly look forward to returning many times. read more

Expensive while underwhelming & average at best 2nd time this year, we ate here; two other couples just had to go, so we came back. Again, the food is fine but a bit underwhelming and rather expensive. You can get much better food of this genre in town for less money. I had the Los Cabos Fajitas, and for $27, I expected a lot better. Sizzling? No, but the dried-out chicken and about 5 shrimp need more flavor, along with under-sizzling vegetables. The Fajitas at, say, Los Amigos for $12 is superior, and I could name half a dozen others who do this dish better and for far less money. My wife had the Chile Relleno's for $19.95; fine, nothing special, again, $16 at Los Amigos, better. Gauc for the table (our friends had to have it) was good, but $17 is not worth "the show" or the end results. Service was just OK, one guest had to keep asking for dinner ware to the point he just got up and found his own. At the last meal, we sat outside, which was lovely, but this month, the patio closed due to the cold, so we sat inside; it's not as nice there; loud and a bit cramped. Considering the long drive, adequate only food, and high prices, I don't think we will return. You can do better closer, for less money, at many other NM Restaurants in town. read more

I went to the Balloon Fiesta in Albuquerque last week & checked out a few restaurants during our quick visit there. Gabriels was the first place we tried for lunch, it was in Santa Fe. I was so excited to try all the Mexican food out there since I've heard such great things about it! We ordered the guacamole made at your table & it was really cool having them come around & make it personalized for you. It was delicious! We also ordered the elote, which we didn't realize was just one single piece of corn on the cob. We were thinking it was going to come off the cob & in a bowl for everyone to share. It did taste delicious however it wasn't a real sharable appetizer for the table. I tried the Vegetarian Combinacione platter. It had a bean burrito, cheese enchilada, & an guacamole taco. I didn't love the guacamole taco since it only had guac & lettuce on it. I thought for sure it would come with cheese and tomatoes but it didn't. It was just pretty plain since it didn't have any added extras on it. The guac was delicious, don't get me wrong. I just wish it had a little more to it. The bean burrito was smaller but really good. I didn't realize the enchilada sauce had chiles in it, so I ordered it on the side, but I didn't realize THAT was my enchilada sauce. It was too spicy for me. so the cheese enchilada ended up just being like a cheese roll up. I really enjoyed the beans & rice on this dish though. My boyfriend ordered a beef burrito and he really liked it. I loved the side of corn it came with as well. Cute atmosphere, service was great, margaritas were delicious. Would recommend. read more

Great New Mexican restaurant with both ample indoor seating and mind a large courtyard with plenty of umbrellas to get some shade. The food was absolutely amazing! I got the crab enchiladas with corn and black beans, everything was delicious. My girlfriend order beef tacos with black beans and rice. I traded one of my enchiladas for one of her tacos and it was just as great. You could tell the freshness and quality of the food when you eat it. Will definitely make this a spot to visit on future Santa Fe trips. There was also an area off of the courtyard with scenic views and several photo opportunities spots such as turquoise painted street lamps. Finally, talk about fast service. We had our meals served in ~10 minutes from ordering. Great job to the staff read more

Stopped by on my way down from Taos, my buddy said someone recommended the place to him and we should give it a shot. Parking was a little weird and I felt like I was headed to a theme park or something. You also enter through a few doors and a courtyard so I wasn't quite sure where we are going until we found a hostess. We were seated pretty quickly and given some pretty good chips and salsa. I could live off of chips and salsa and I would says theirs were a solid 7/10. We ordered some fajitas and soft tacos al carbon, food came out in a timely manner. The food was alright, it was your typical Mexican food with some sides. The flavors weren't unique or special. The only think I would say that stood out was their prices, for a second I thought I was back in California.
