    Spicy pork sandwich
    Amy W.

    Very small mexica restaurant, I ordered a spicy pork sandwich, was shocked when I opened the container, it's huge! And very tasty! Will definitely come back more often.

    Great authentic Mexican food. Not Tex-Mex. Menudo every Sunday. I like the goat meat, cabeza and spicy pork tacos. The menudo is good too. They also make their own tortillas. Have RTE many times.

    Huge tacos and menudo, served on Sundays.

    Wow. As a gringo, I've had a lot of tacos, Tex-Mex and authentic. These top the list hands down. Huge, full of great meat or veggie filings served with chopped cilantro, onions, and radish as well as some of the best red and green salsas I've had. The tacos are an absolute must. Carnitas and Bistek were my favorites but Pollo and Pastor were good too. Best Carnitas I've ever had. So much flavor. $2 each with a few filings bring $2.50. I should have only gotten three, they were so big. I also took a chance on the menudo, knowing it's a specialty only served on Sundays. Unfortunately I'm not a fan but if cow stomach is your thing, I bet you would love it. It came out with every order, while I waited. I will be back for sure!

I've had Hispanic meats that tasted straight up like a salt brick, but this was good. A good salty. The salad and rice were delicious, wow, I ate that up. Complimentary nachos came with three dips. The salsa verde was perfect for me because it wasn't spicy at all! It was delicious. I came alone, so I guess the server didn't bother me a lot out of respect. I like that. It was good for me, and I could always wave them down whenever I needed. They kind of have an "open kitchen" so you can see what they're doing. The servers and chefs have a good relationship as far as I could see. All hardworking staff doing honest work. Everything I had was delicious and service was hospitable. I would come here again. What a great night. Gracias!

The service was also great! My husband was disappointed that there were not any beers on tap (bottles only), but they had a delicious mixed drink menu. However, we were very disappointed in the atmosphere. We seated towards the back of the restaurant in direct line of sight of behind the "bar" where an employee's child was playing and a great view of ketchup bottles (who wants ketchup in a Mexican restaurant). Gabriela & Sofia's is in the $$ to $$$ price range, and at this price point ambiance should be continuous throughout the restaurant. Our unfortunate seating location sadly put a damper on the overall experience.

The service was on point from start to finish. Drinks were refilled before we even had a chance to ask, but without anyone hovering--just the perfect balance. Shoutout to Spike, our lead server, though it was clearly a true team effort all around. And the food? Amazing. I had the chicken sour cream enchiladas, and as someone who considers themselves a bit of a connoisseur, I'd rate them a solid 5/5--something I rarely give! My husband had the beef enchiladas and couldn't stop talking about how great the chili sauce was. He even said the rice was good... and he doesn't even like rice! Great food, great service, and an all-around fantastic experience. Honestly questioning how they don't have a perfect 5-star rating already!

They couldn't accommodate us in two hour weights. Moment we walked into here they immediately sat us down and we got our order in within the first five minutes. I'm so happy and they had a kids menu that each of my nephews got to pick from. Thank you again for making our experience amazing.
