Gabrielas Downtown Reviews
Do I recommend this place? Yes and no. The food was good and waitress was nice and all but because we came in with a large party and tip is included with large parties, I believe that’s why our waitress didn’t check on us much. She knew she was going to be getting a big tip already whether she served us or not so it didn’t matter.
Next time, if there is a next time I will definitely be on my waitress.
Johnathan is such a hard worker and the best. He wasn’t our server but went out of his way to make the experience great!

Gabriela's Downtown is a popular spot for a delicious meal with a cozy atmosphere and great views of the city line. The service is friendly and helpful, although some guests have experienced long waits, especially during busy times. The menu offers a variety of options, including the standout favorite, avocado cream enchilada with chicken tinga, and delicious Birria tacos that many love. Customers enjoy the handmade corn masa tortillas, cheesy Choriqueso, and Veggie Queso Flameado, which are all highly recommended. The carne asada street tacos come overflowing with meat, avocado, onions, and cilantro, delighting many diners.
While the inside can feel a little cramped, the super cute porch adds to the charm. The food is flavorful and satisfying, with many praising the homemade chips, queso, and puffy tacos. Guests have noted that the service can start slow but tends to improve quickly, and prices are considered very fair. The staff is kind, making it a great East Side alternative to other spots. The ambiance is often enhanced by live DJs and Latin music, creating a lively vibe, especially on weekends. The back patio is a favorite feature, adding to the overall charm of the place. Overall, Gabriela's Downtown offers classic Tex-Mex dishes done right, with plenty of tasty options to enjoy, making it a relaxing choice after a day at the beach or a fun spot for weekend brunch.
