    Sopaipilla
    Carolina E.

    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.

    Guacamole

    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!

    The table side guacamole was delicious, basically a must at Gabriel's. Outdoor seating with lots of shade. Excellent food, excellent service.

    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.

    Green chili Chile con Queso

    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

    Served chips out of a dirty bowl. This was what was on the bottom after I lifted the parchment paper, to take my left over chips home.

    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.

    Party of 5 and every dish was delicious Been awhile since we have been to Gabriel's but tonight's meal was worth the trip Table side guacamole service for every order, fresh and delicious Fajitas come sizzling hot Extensive menu items so everyone can find something they will like Very easy place to get to and plenty of parking which is not the normal for Santa Fe Keep up the good work

    Erin M.

    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.

    Steak fajitas w/all the fixings

    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!

    Christmas style Burrito de Carne Asada

    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.

    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.

Unfortunately I was highly disappointed by food and service. I ordered fish and shrimp taco. The food wasn't bad but it's didn't come with a side of salsa or any sort of sauce. It did comes with a side of rice which I felt was under seasoned. The service was slow. I walked in around 1pm and door was locked. I was surprised to find them close even though online says that they are open at 11am that day. I checked on google and it was suppose to be open. I called and they said that they are open but waiting for alcohol to be delivered at 3pm. Did they assume that every customer coming in is ordering alcohol? As far as I understand this is a restaurant that serves food and alcohol and not a bar. Shortly after my arrival, there was a large tour with 12 people showed up. I could see that the waiter was a bit flustered because he also had to tend to other customer as well as the tour. I guess this is where the tour take people for authentic taco experience. In my opinion these are more toned down gringo tacos. My taco didn't come with a side of sauce like everyone else. I also noticed that the tour all received a side of salsa which I didn't. I'm not sure if the waiter forgot. I had to flag down the waiter a few time because he also forgot my drink. I also ordered an agua Fresca watermelon and it wasn't made of real watermelon but flavor syrup from the bar. I wished I had known that it wasn't real melon. 2.5 stars for the food and 2 for service. Again food wasn't terrible, but certainly wasn't close to be the best.
