   Beautiful ambience, tasty food, generous portions, moderately priced with excellent service. There was an enormous crowd waiting to get in as we left. This place is extremely popular. Be sure to order the guacamole prepared table side.

   Food was average. Drinks good. Service made it a horrible experience. Our server, Bryan, was inattentive and had an attitude. No drink refills. Appetizers incomplete and had them removed from ticket. It did appear however that those around us with different severs had good service. The bad experience could very likely been the result of an awful waiter.

   Gabriel's is always fantastic. This visit was no exception. Food was delicious and margarita smashing! Free chips and salsa great. Service was prompt and didn't cost an arm and a leg. GO!

   Always a fine choice for classic Southwest food. Guac is made at your table freshly to your taste. Entrées came promptly and were good. Close to Santa Fe Opera.

   We are long time customers of Gabriel’s and have never been disappointed until our most recent visit. We were a party of 6 on a Sunday night with a reservation at 7pm. We were finally seated at 7:30 directly next to a food preparation station that was very dirty. The floor around us was littered with tortilla chips and other debris. Our server arrived about ten minutes later and took our drink order. We also ordered two guacamole and he brought chips and salsa. The chips were stale. The person making the guacamole finally arrived and prepared the dip. I asked for small plates and she said “ask your water.” The guacamole was very good. When our server showed back up we asked for small plates and he brought only 4. We then ordered our food and waited. A customer at the table next to us finally got up and left without getting his food. It took about 1 hour and 30 minutes before our food arrived. Most of the food was good but sides like beans were cold. I only said to try Gabriels based on past experiences. This time it was an unfortunate “miss”. Don’t know if they were understaffed, overbooked, or what happened, but would strongly suggest a review of service and kitchen be undertaken.

   There was a line out the door and a long wait for everyone involved. The waiting area is a superspreader event If you have to wait in line even though you made a reservation, I'm not sure what a reservation means.

    Gabriel’s is one of our go-to spots. The food is good, the service is good, and it’s a very comfortable spot. My friends ordered Puerto Vallarta;it looked delicious and they raves about it. My cousin ordered the combo with the tamal, and said it was outstanding. I ordered the San Diego fish tacos. The flavor was fabulous and the fish was definitely fresh. The only drawback was that the tortilla fell apart — had to eat the fish with a fork and basically gave up on the tortillas. We live Gabriel’s and the staff there is always attentive and friendly.

    Gabriel’s is an old time favorite of ours! And best part anyone we bring becomes a new recruit. Whether eating traditional NM fare or their wonderful ribs it is guaranteed to be a great meal. Have the guacamole made at your table and find your favorite margarita; you’re in for a delightful experience!

    We usually have faster service but things moved a little slower last night. Our fajita dish was delicious but queso was a perfect compliment to our dinner. The side charro beans need improvement.

    This used to be one of our favorite Mexican/New Mexican restaurants in Santa Fe (where we have lived since 2004). The food quality has significantly gone downhill in the past two years or so. The margaritas were watery, weak, and lacked flavor, the dinners were served lukewarm (other than the fajitas) and lacked taste and texture. The green chile in particular, ordered with the cheese enchilada, was absolutely tasteless. One feels that it is all now catering to tourists who probably don't know, or don't want, nice spicy green or red chile. The refried beans were completely uninteresting and the cheese was barely melted on the enchilada. There are many much better values in town for that kind of food (The Shed, Plaza Cafe, and several others) for good hot New Mexican fare.

    I would NOT recommend this restaurant!!! It took almost 30 minutes before a waiter finally came to take our order (& only after I asked another waiter to send someone). When I got my Margarita it had to go back because I’d asked for no salt - instead of re-making my drink, it was just dumped into another glass because I still tasted salt in the drink. My date’s chicken fajitas were inedible - overcooked & tasteless with soggy tortillas. My seafood fajitas were only slightly better - shrimp & scallops were OK but snapper was dry & also soggy tortillas. When I asked the waiter to take his chicken fajitas off the bill he asked his manager for approval, but the manager never even came over! WHAT AN ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE!!!

    Gabriel's is one of our favorites, but on this visit service was a little distracted and the carne adovada barely had any meat. It was mostly red chile sauce, which is delicious, but compared to previous visits, it left me wanting a bit more pork. I'll return, hoping this was merely an off day, as I've had wonderful meals here before.

    Don’t believe the Google reviews. If you are looking for excellent Mexican food, stay in the city. The drive is great, it’s lively, their patio does NOT overlook the valley. Average food, slow service, but I guess it’s ok to go once to experience the drive and the liveliness?

    We keep going back. The guac at the table is very good. But a word of caution: the chips are warm and go with both the guac and salsa so the tendency is to eat lots of them which may make you be too full for dessert.

    I hate to leave a bad review, but ... This was really disappointing. I sat at my table for more than 25 minutes waiting to be waited on after I was brought Chips and Salsa. The salsa was good but I got chards and fragments instead of chips - bottom of the bag apparently. I had made a reservation weeks in advance but the hostess didn't know where to seat me. The line also to get seated even with a reservation was not less than ten minutes. I haven't been to Gabriel's since before Covid so was excited to go back. I remember it as being good. This experience was not. I left after receiving no service. I'm pretty patient but was astounded that I wasn't waited on. I'll try again next month to see if things are different, but if this had been my first or only experience with Gabriels ... I would not go back.

    We always enjoy eating at Gabriel's when we visit Santa Fe. It's one of our favorite restaurants. We had table side, freshly made guacamole, YUM! Each of our 5 dishes was delicious, and we were brought sopapillos on request - they are amazing. We like to sit outside under their covered patio. Beautiful location, away from the business of the plaza in Santa Fe. Don't forget to try one of their refreshing margaritas. Mango is my favorite.

    Our party did not all arrive at once and the first half were asked to wait in bar. While at the bar, one member asked about a drink and was told to order with our server, that, he, the bartender was busy at the moment. Second half of party arrived a few minutes later. The hostess took our name and the kept us waiting to be seated while she seated other people that came in after with no reservation were seated. The restaurant, while not fully occupied was very noisy. Short staffed as all places. Our food was delivered incorrect, some items delivered almost when meal was over instead of with meal. Overall the experience was a total disappointment. We wanted a nice family reunion meal at a place previously enjoyed by all. Won’t be back fur a very long time now.

    Always great guacamole, made table side, to complement the crispy corn tortilla chips, best carnitas in the state and a rack of tender, fall off the bones ribs. Pet friendly.
