As always Casa Gabriela did not disappoint! LOVE the birria tacos paloma casuela and especially the coconut flan!!

We had reservations but still waited a bit to be seated, and it took a while for our server to take our order and for the food to come out. The drinks were underwhelming—the horchata was chalky with too much cinnamon, the Michelada was just okay, and they don't offer Coke products. Chips and salsa were good, and the guacamole was tasty, but the chicharrones were the packaged kind, not fresh. Kids' meals were fine, though the mini bacon-wrapped hotdog bun got hard by the time my son got to the second one. The highlight of the night was the pozole—savory, a good portion, a bit too spicy for me but still delicious. Overall, an average experience with some hits and misses.

Good for pics, food is okay. Paloma was tasty. Horchata drink was more like a spiced chai.

Jeremy are waiter was excellent, very friendly and made the dining experience very enjoyable.

The majority of the food on the menu is spicy. Even the Caesar salad has a kick to it and that was after taking the spicy roasted tomatoes off. So for people who don't want a choice in spicyness, this is not the restaurant for you or really me.

Casa Gabriela is a gem. Offers delicious food with a twist to traditional childhood dishes. I continue to come back each and every time. Not only for the food but the kind and attentive staff as well.

Lovely brunch at Casa Gabriela! The patio is such a great spot to sit, relax, have great food and interesting cocktails. The staff is so friendly and perfectly attentive. We love going to this local spot!

Overall an amazing and exceptional experience. The food is unique and nothing you can find in any other Mexican restaurant. Quality is superb and the presentation and creativity was inspiring.

But my favorite part was the amazing quality of the service! We felt like we were welcomed into someone's home. Our server was fantastic, but so was every other server we saw. They seemed genuinely happy and proud to be there. They took time to acknowledge everyone, not just their tables. I rubbed my arms a little and immediately had the nicest guy come right over and light the heater.
We are excited to go back to try more things on the menu.

Was given a comp white concha and cream cheese pumpkin pastry. Lovely touch, white conchas are my fav but omg I thought it was just me, my friend and I tasted it and thought cleaning chemicals were used like fabuloso. Super disappointed.

We went for brunch & sat outside. Service was excellent The mimosa flight was very good. We shared the chilaquiles. Once we ordered them, they were delivered within minutes which was weird how quick it was, like they were sitting and waiting to be delivered when ordered verses making them fresh when ordered They were warm, cold in places which impacted the taste.

Didn't know it was possible to mess up a chicken quesadilla, but these guys managed. Shredded chicken was dry and sparce. Beautiful environment, but it doesn't make up for bad food.
