Gaby's latin gad a high review and it made me to stop by. When we arrived no one was the front and we got a table the employees were talking to each other and laughing and take lil bit longer to acknowledge us but when they acknowledged they were very friendly and welcoming. I ordered regular ginger beer (no alcohol) and Cadillac margarita with avocado salad and when my beer came to the table i saw small piece of red thing floating in it which it made me pause...the avocado salad was delicious but has a small piece of wooden part if avocado on it which i chewed and just imagine how painful it was so i went there for lunch but i wasnt able to order more. Im lil bit picky and it wasnt something that i was waiting to face! Specially when they told me it was the last one and they dont have any so i was more paused. I love their restrooms very so cute with all the quotes and funny pics that made me laugh... im not sure if this day one of those days that they messed up but i loved their avocado salad. Plenty free parking outside...Probably ill give another try this place in future trip but today visit i was 50/50.
My family has been making an annual Big Bear trip from San Diego County for the last 5-6 years and this was our first time at Gaby's. What a treat! We read all the wonderful reviews so we were surprised when it was pretty empty on a Saturday evening. The good news is that the service and the food did not disappoint. My husband and I started with a couple of skinny margaritas. The nice woman at the counter, who I assume to be Gaby, shared how she puts fresh-made chamoy on the rim - one side with salt and the other with tajin. So yummy! We then had the avocado salad which came with fresh salsas and chips. The small salsa was smoky and spicy and it accompanied all the food we had so well; I wish I could buy a bottle of it! My husband and I ordered the carnitas and my daughter had the fricasa which is a Bolivian-style pozole. Everything was delicious and hit the spot. The pozole had a rich beef broth and while it was a nice, fall night, I'd imagine it would be perfect after a day on the slopes. The carnitas plate came with refried beans, rice, sour cream, lettuce, pickled carrot and corn tortillas. The carrots added a perfect bite to my carnitas tacos which I loaded up with salsa and beans. We all agreed that Gaby's is our new favorite Big Bear spot and will add it to our annual tradition moving forward.
The good is so delicious, very authentic. The staff is warm and welcoming. Cadillac Margaritas were good. I don't know what the garnished the rim/glass with but it was good.
So so good. We love Gaby's Latin Flavors. Gaby and Mo are so sweet and kind. The food is amazing. Food made and served with Aloha.
Food, ambiance, feel, what's not to love? Definitely a wait for amazing home cooking so make sure you like the people you go with. I would wait happily any time I go back if it's always this good. My favorite was the chorrellana. The beans, rice, meat, onions, everything. Absolutely perfect. My husband really liked his costillas al horno, and our mom liked her carne asada wrap. Everything was delicious! We also had the agua fresco of the day which will be another staple to our order. Last but certainly not least was the churros. Dang, so crispy, warming, and delicious. Everything fresh and made with love. Can't wait to come back.
Wow! In town from San Diego and this place is amazing! Sat on their dog friendly patio and the shrimp fajitas & enchiladas were amazing. Everything tasted homemade including the amazing salsas. In town till Tuesday and will be back again. What a gem!
Welcoming service, fresh and delicious food. Bolivian interpretation of familiar Latino cuisine! The avocado salad was outstanding--so perfectly prepared and presented. The salsas were excellent. We enjoyed the carnitas and the chile relleno combos. Casual dining with dog-friendly patio was much appreciated.
Posting WiFi here because I had to wait so long to get it. Hoping to make it easier for everyone else. Wifi name is Gabys Guest Password is Gabys2024 We ordered and split the soup of the day, which was chicken soup with pasta and the Picante de Pollo. The soup was great for a cold winter day and was great, with plenty of parsley and a big chunk of corn. The picante de pollo was under the Bolivian section of the menu and came with mac and cheese and rice, which seemed mixed either with quinoa or another type of grain. It wasn't picante at all and as good as the dish looked, it was a bit bland. The chicken was really tender though and all dark meat, which we flavored up with the hot sauce we requested and the salsa it came with. The matron was definitely the mama of the house and you could tell she wasn't going to take shit though she didn't have the best bedside manner herself. There were indicators of the place's personality with signs like "No Drama Zone, leave the drama at the door" and "No substitutions, Bolivian mama serves it how it is." Interesting Bolivian place. We would come back again for the soup.
Glad my friend let's try this place. Big parking lot in the back so plenty of parking. Staff was super friendly. We went when there was a big party so took a little bit to order and wait for our food. However it was cooked to order. I got the salmon which comes with their avocado salad & asparagus. It was tasty. Especially if you some of their salsa which is really good. Both of them. They brought it out with my friends' tacos which they also both enjoyed. 1 had crunchy & 1 had soft. The aqua Fresca was also very good. We also tried saltenas but we haven't eaten it yet.
Fantastic flavors here! We loved everything we ordered which included the incredible avocado salad. Scoop some avocado salad with a chip and drop some of the spicy salsa on it and it's heaven. The spicy margarita amazing, so flavorful, and you didn't have to search for the heat! We're going back tomorrow for breakfast. FYI, you order at the front next to the bar. Get your own water and find a table.
We did not know what to expect eating here but the food was absolutely fresh and delicious. The food is Bolivian with a twist of Mexican and other latin flavors. I had the chile relleno which was the best I've had since they are usually made with egg and this one did not have egg. The creamy cheesy sauce on top was delightful. My family raved about the enchiladas, steak and chicken tacos. We will definitely visit Gaby's again. Agua Frescas and Mexican Coke are available. Note: order at the counter then find a table. Cash is preferred otherwise a 2.75% is added for credit cards. Provecho!

The had a variety of items in their menu. Mexican/Bolivian. The drinks were fun too. The staff are friendly. You order by the cashier and they bring the food. Self serve water. You pay at the cashier. Was a cute little spot. Their avocado salad was amazing. I personally wasn't a huge fan of the ribs. Just had a flavor I could not understand. However everything else was great. read more

This was my first time trying lomo montado and Bolivian hot chocolate. The lomo montado was deliciously authentic and also the perfect serving size for me! On the other hand, the Bolivian hot chocolate wasn't my favorite flavor but I'm glad I tried it. I'm still giving 5-stars since the employees were very kind and welcoming. The restaurant inside looked clean, tidy, and culturally decorated. read more

Yummy yummy yummy! I don't even know where to begin. They have this dish called palta (I think that's how it's spelled). It's like chopped up avocado (not mashed) with onions, and tomatoes, you have to try it. I had the carne asada plate! Just all so delicious. Service was great! And the place is just perfect and chill! read more

When we heard that there was a restaurant in Big Bear with Bolivian food, we knew we had to check it out. On our way out of town, we called to see if they sold salteñas. They are made to order so we placed an order and picked them up later in the day. They were authentic and delicious! We can't wait to come back and enjoy a sit down meal there. read more

First time at Gaby's for a fun friend weekend. The staff was so sweet, they helped us with recommendations. We started out with the Plata appetizer, it was delicious. I'm not a huge fan of avocado but the way it was seasoned was perfect and the homemade chips, so delicious. I got the breakfast taco and chicken a la carte taco. Both were perfectly cooked and so yummy. We will definitely be back here. Thanks again for the great service. read more

We were so pleased to find this hidden gem! Owner couldn't be nicer as our server and the food couldn't have tasted better. Great music in the background, amazing smells coming from the kitchen. We had the avocado salad. Amazing take on guacamole for the perfect chips and salsa to accompany them! We will be recommending this one to all of our friends and air b n b guests! read more

If I could give this place 6 stars, I absolutely would! Our party of five enjoyed the best food and service we've had yet in Big Bear. This restaurant has such a welcoming atmosphere--it truly feels like you're sitting at your abuela's kitchen table. Warm, inviting, and delicious in every way. A must-visit when you're in Big Bear! read more

Is there indoor dining? If no, are there heat lamps outdoor?
Heaters outside. BTW: She says indoor dining will be coming back this weekend.
Do they use real fruit in their Margaritas?
Don't know but they are really good. And ask for her special butter it's so creamy
Are the posted business hours accurate? Went Monday before 9pm and they were closed. Google and Yelp said they were open.
Sounds like you were cutting it close to closing time in a small town. Sometimes when business is slow the shops in town close early. It's always best to call ahead in a small town like Big Bear.
Any vegan options?
They had a very tasty veggie burrito, if I remember right you had to ask for them to leave off the cheese. But there were options.
