" I came to Casa Gabriela with high hopes, but I felt a bit let down. The atmosphere was lively, the service attentive, but my choice of chicken burrito was overcooked. I would give it a second chance for the other dishes, as I've heard rave reviews about their tacos! " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant left quite an impression on me! My friends and I came for a birthday celebration, and it couldn't have been better. The service was friendly and accommodating. We ordered a mix of tacos and enchiladas, which were all beautifully presented and tasted as good as they looked. However, the bar could be enhanced with some fresh cocktails to elevate the experience further. Overall, a lovely spot to unwind and have fun. " (*Curated Review*)

" I stopped by on a busy Saturday and was pleasantly surprised. The place was lively, handling the crowd well. We tried their specials, and they were fantastic! The flavors were bold and authentic; reminded me of my grandmother's cooking. The only thing that could use improvement is the wait time for food, but it's understandable given the crowd. Overall, I’d definitely recommend Casa Gabriela for anyone looking for a genuine Mexican experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a fantastic experience at Casa Gabriela last week! The ceviche was incredibly fresh and tangy. It's hard to find authentic ceviche anywhere, and this place nailed it! My friends loved their tacos too. They mentioned the spicy salsa, which could give some a run for their money! I enjoyed the whole atmosphere, it felt lively without being overwhelming. I could return just for the ceviche alone! " (*Curated Review*)

" Casa Gabriela is the place to be for a casual yet delicious meal. The guacamole is a must-try, being fresh and packed with flavor! The server was friendly but seemed a bit rushed. However, it did not take away much from our experience. I loved the tender carne asada tacos with fresh tortillas. I can't wait to go back with my family next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I took my family here for lunch, and we had an amazing experience! The menu offered a variety of options, and everything was delicious. We ordered tacos, burritos, and some appetizers, and we loved every bite. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Will definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Was craving Mexican food and stumbled upon Casa Gabriela and boy, am I glad I did! The menu is well-rounded and the food is phenomenal! Everything was fresh and served hot. I had the spicy shrimp tacos, which had the perfect amount of kick without being overpowering. The ambiance is very welcoming and would be great for both families and dates. " (*Curated Review*)
