   We sat out on the patio on what turned out to be a cloudy, chilly night but we nonetheless enjoyed our dinner. The food entrees were delicious, but the real standout was the guacamole prepared table side. Absolutely outstanding guacamole! The view of the mountains contributed to a nice ambiance and our waiter was very pleasant. Although Gabriel's is a a bit of a drive (15 min) from our hotel in downtown Santa Fe, the food made the drive absolutely worthwhile.

   I love Gabriel's and have been going there for many years. Last night felt a bit off. We ordered margaritas and guacamole - which they do better than almost anyone else in town, especially the made-to-table guacamole. However, we were early diners (6:00) and tried to order the ribs, but were told they were out. Who is out of a main menu item at the beginning of the evening. It felt weird. The waiter then became a bit unhelpful and we left and went someplace else to eat dinner afterwards as my dining partner really was wanting the ribs. Oh well. Another time perhaps.

   I was hesitant to visit Gabriel’s bc of reviews mentioning poor service. However, it was delightful-beautiful interior with pottery, sculptures, and art. Excellent chicken enchiladas with mole, margaritas, and flan. My favorite was the elote. Service was fast and accurate.

   We like the restaurant and the hostess gave us a nice table for 2. Our waiter was very attentive until it was time for our food to arrive. he disappeared for about 20 minutes and another waiter brought our food. By this time everything was cool not hot. When our waiter reappeared he insisted that it was just our of the oven but brought me hot French fries. The hostess reappeared later and apologized for the cold food and gave us a $30 gift certificate. The waiter did apologize later as well. I know they were very busy but the way they handled the mistake makes Gabriels move to the TOP OF OUR LIST!!! We will be back. Thanks for the care, concern and great food..

   I was a little disappointed… not as good as I remembered, margaritas were just ok, food was a ok - a little flavorless. And, though we were not rushed, our server never asked if we wanted another round of drinks and seemed over worked. I have great memories of eating at Gabriel’s and this didn’t live up to those.

    People please- Hospitality Industry may never recover from the damage of the Pandemic and they are all struggling to maintain top service levels. Heck, every restaurant we have visited the past 2 years is in constant state of hiring, training, and doing what they can to survive. That being said: Gabriels is amazing. The menu is exceptional covering any tastes or willingness to try something new. The chef will adjust per requests. Food is fresh, clean, prepared to order, and WONDERFUL. The Sangria made in house is not the crappy sweet like we have found from most establishments- this was wonderfully blended with what seemed like a dry red wine and brandy- and they cut the fresh fruit for it in front of me. Establishment is clean and crisp, with exceptional ambiance. SERVICE- the best we have experienced in a few weeks, and since we travel, we eat at restaurants a good deal. We highly recommend Gabriels and will be back. Wonderful stop with ample parking and in a great area.

    Gabriel’s is consistently amazing! The best guacamole on the planet, a La Unica margarita with jalapeño that was out of this world, and shrimp fajitas to die for - and that was only one of our five meals!

    Great homemade chips and salsa to start. We had multiples of each brought over. All four diners ordered fajitas, two chicken and two veggie. While not spectacular they were quite good and what was not eaten was taken home and finished as second dinner (with some of the chips too). Beware, the refried bean when ordering the chicken or non-veggie fajita has bacon, so sub out like we do for the veggie refried beans, which we all agreed afterward were smooth and delicious!

    Wonderful food, exceptional service, friendly staff. Patio is large and very nice. Worth the drive out although maps tried to take us thru a subdivision. Just follow directions on their website. They are more than willing to accommodate food allergies etc. Highly encourage making reservations. Enjoy!!

    Sit outside, the view is great! It’s a busy, popular place so don’t be in a rush to eat and you will be pleased with your experience. Margaritas are well above average in Santa Fe (which are surprising disappointing here). The food is tasty and hot to your table. A must have are the table side made guacamole and the elote for the table.

    Gabriel’s is a very busy restaurant especially on Mother’s Day. We decided to see if we could get in on our way home after a long day hiking. We sat outside on their large patio. The ground was full of tortilla chips and food. We had to wait 20 minutes which was to be expected on such a busy day. The table side preparation of guacamole was great. My husband had a steak burrito which he enjoyed and I had chili rellenos. They were just a couple of thin bland chilies filled and covered with a huge amounts of cheese and bland red sauce. The server was running and taking care of a lot of people and forgot our silverware 3 times so we just stared at our food. He was doing the best he could under difficult circumstances. It was very average food and I would prefer not to return.

    This is one of my favorite go to places. The reason I like it is because it is out of town, has great ambiance, a lovely courtyard to dine al fresco. They make great margaritas and sangria. The ribs is my favorite and out of the last six times I have been there I have had the ribs five times. The sauce is exceptional and the service is always warm, friendly and effecient. Very hospitable and I take all of my out of town guests there and they love it too.
