" After hearing rave reviews about Gabriela's, I finally decided to stop by with my family. The feel of the restaurant is modern with an artistic touch. The service was on point as we were frequently checked on, however, the food was just okay. The birria ramen was different, but I expected it to be more flavorful honestly. I appreciate their attempt at being creative, but it didn't quite hit the mark for me. But for the most part, it was an enjoyable experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" While the atmosphere is lively and fun, my experience at Gabriela's was overall underwhelming. The food was decent but nothing impressive. The service can also be hit or miss. I had a good time with friends, but I can’t say I would recommend it for food alone. Still, worth trying if you’re in a festive mood. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a fantastic experience at Gabriela's! The moment you walk in, the lively music pulls you into the festive atmosphere. The shrimp tacos were incredibly flavorful, with a refreshing margarita to wash it down. My only suggestion would be to lower the volume just a bit, as it was tough to chat with my friends. Overall, a delightful place to unwind after a long day! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Gabriela's recently, and though I had some issues with my food being cold when it came, the atmosphere and aesthetic of the place charmed me. It's vibrant and interactive, making it great for groups. The service was fine, not excellent but acceptable. I believe they may need to focus more on the food to keep customers coming back. " (*Curated Review*)

" I came here on a Wednesday evening and was excited to try the famous birria tacos. While the tacos were decent, they didn't quite live up to the hype. The atmosphere was fun, but I was a bit disappointed by the service — it took a while for my server to check in on us. I'll give it another shot, but my expectations are tempered. " (*Curated Review*)

" Gabriela's has some of the most delightful tacos I've ever eaten! The atmosphere is just right for a fun night out. I did encounter some minor issues with service during my visit, but the friendly staff made up for it. I would highly recommend the guacamole — it's a must! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have to say, I went with high expectations due to social media hype. While the food was decent, and some dishes were surprisingly good, the service was lacking. My server seemed overwhelmed by the crowd. The margaritas, on the other hand, were delightful! The environment was playful, and the live music was a nice touch during dinner. Could have been better overall. " (*Curated Review*)
