Buenos Aires native, Diego Nunez, opened the Covington location in June of 2022 & he's bringing us Argentine style empanadas with a delicious twist, including authentic flavors from around the world. He & his team have curated 16 varieties of empanadas that you can either have hot & ready or you can get them frozen to take home for a family dinner, a special event, or just a late night snack! I got the Chips & Salsa, Esquites, and Chicago, Buenos Aires & Banana Empanadas. Everything is hot & fresh, the bold flavors hit bite after bite & I could eat their Chimichurri on anything! The service was excellent as well, everyone was so kind & welcoming! My favorite bites were the Buenos Aires Empanada & the Esquites. I highly recommend! Have you tried them yet?

I'm a sucker for good Empanadas. When my Mr mentioned this place, I could not pass it up…read more 100% authentic Argentinian. Lucas the owner was really down to earth. His uncle has been making empanadas for 28 years. Wow! Respect. They have everything you can think of. Beef, chicken, vegan, pork, veggie and sweet. There's something for everyone. Besides the empanadas you can get some sides (a la carte) rice, salads and more! They also do catering. We wanted to try a variety, so we ordered: -Buenos Aires- ground beef, onion, bell pepper, green onion -Singapore-garlic buttered spinach, mozzarella, Parmesan -Parma- ham, mozzarella, Parmesan, oregano, green onion -Buffalo-Buffalo chicken, mozzarella It was hard to choose a favorite because they were all top notch. The fresh Chimichurri sauce enhanced the flavor. I would definitely come back again! Pricing is reasonable and they are so good!

The event had 10 of us and was eating with our hands off banana leaves. We reserved our tickets in advance for a seafood menu and it was creative and flavorful (especially the Caesar salad and dessert). The seafood and fruit were delicious, my favorite being the bangus fish. We were in a semi private room in Factory 52 and there was entertainment for lunar new year. Service was attentive and explained the meal throughly. I look forward to their next event!

Gabriela's is placed in a food hall (Gatherall) or food court. The service was great but I thought the food was alright. I was expecting real Filipino food w/ a slight twist and I got that BUT wanted it to hit home. The only way I could describe this type of food is like a chipotle for Filipino food. Maybe I should try something else next time. The pork belly lechon itself was good but I was hoping just a little more traditional. I'm not hating on it whatsoever BUT if you're Filipino and expect something traditional, this isn't it. Veggie egg rolls were ok. And nothing stood out with the ube cookie.

The sandwiches are served with pita chips, which I did not realize while ordering. I added a side of fries for $3.95, but you could probably skip, as the sandwich with chips was filling enough.

We ended up ordering online earlier in the day for a 6:45pm pick up and ordered a Lotta Trotta pepperoni pizza, their Lotta Trotta Hoagie with Italian dressing, and their large antipasto salad with Italian. We drove up to pick it up at the designated time and it was ready to go right away, and packaged nicely. The pizza is HUGE. We were bringing this to a family get together and the pizza was the size of two regular pieces and each slice had a generous amount of cheese and pepperoni. It was definitely a hit. The salad was a good size, definitely shareable and enough for a family. The Italian dressing seems house made, but they also gave us packets of premade caesar. The hoagie was a good size and was a good ratio of toppings to bread. It also came with a sauce option and I chose Italian for that as well. I appreciated that they boxed it was a piece of folded cardboard under it to keep the bottom from getting soggy. While you're there you can also pick up sodas, beers, snacks and other items. Overall, I think they offer a great variety of options at a competitive price in the area and are super convenient for pick up or delivery.
