What a lively afternoon! We spent an extended lunch savoring the ambiance, cuisine and together time. The savory crepes were exquisite! The side salad was delightful. The plating was beautiful! The service was exceptional. Just the right touch of attentive but not hovering. Truly enjoyed our time. Thank you for such a lovely lunch! We'll see you next time! read more

Tried this restaurant for my friend's special milestone birthday. Did not disappoint. The ambiance was great although we had to sit outside. Super cute and private. The server Ivan was amazing. Attentive and professional, fun and took care of our every need. The food was wonderful. We got a lot of items, lemon salmon, le boxeur sandwich, risotto de la mer (insanely good), pate, everything was fresh and delicious. They sent out a beautiful crepe for my friend's birthday and played a happy birthday song. Not a lot of places exist like this any. Attention to detail, pride of service (thank you Ivan) and a great price point. We will be back. Had the best time!!! read more

This was my first time visiting, and I've been meaning to try this place for quite some time. I'm glad I finally did. The food was excellent. I ordered the artichoke dip and the steak omelette, and both exceeded expectations. The artichoke dip was rich, flavorful, and a great way to start the meal. The steak omelette was delicious, the steak was tender and cooked perfectly, and the sauce really brought everything together. It was easily one of the highlights of the meal. The ambiance is comfortable and inviting. The exposed brick walls, lounge-style seating, and overall character of the restaurant give it an authentic feel that makes you want to sit down, relax, and enjoy your time there. What stood out to me most, however, was the difference in hospitality among the staff. When I arrived, Adriana saw me walk in but never greeted me and instead, walked past me. After I was seated, she walked past my table several times, looked in my direction, but never smiled or acknowledged me. My server, who unfortunately was not wearing a name tag, was helpful and took care of what I needed, but the interaction felt more transactional than welcoming. Then there was Ivan. Even though I was not seated in his section, he stopped by my table, greeted me with a smile, checked on me throughout my visit, and made me feel welcome. At the end of my meal, when he saw I had placed my credit card on the table, he came over to make sure everything had been taken care of, asked how my experience was, and even encouraged me to bring my family back. Those may seem like small things, but they make a big difference. I believe this restaurant deserves to become a staple in the Old Town Glendora community. The food is certainly good enough. The ambiance is certainly good enough. The opportunity is in making every guest feel like they're being welcomed into an extension of the owner's home rather than simply being served a meal. People may come in for the food, but they come back because of how a place makes them feel. That said, I am still happy to give this place 5 stars. I genuinely enjoyed my visit and will absolutely be back. Running a restaurant is not easy, and finding great people is not always easy either. My comments are shared because I want to see this restaurant succeed and become a place the community embraces for years to come. read more

New to the area. We tried it, and it was just ok? For the price point, it's a bit over priced. The food was half and half, in regards to there are bits we liked and bits we didn't like. We got the chicken mushroom, the chicken with mushroom sauce was great! The side of potatoes and super dry salad was just ok. Not worth the price, I would want like a bougie salad but was just a plain salad. The potatoes were like scalloped potatoes, it was small and generic. We also got this seafood pasta. The seafood was cooked well, but gave the tiniest piece of salmon with no skin. The cream sauce was so watery and the pasta was bland. Again, not trying to be that person but for that price point maybe fresh pasta or something. The dessert dish leveled it out. We got the crème brûlée French toast, that was superb. It was done well to where you don't even realize they used a French baguette as the toast instead of the usual brioche. I would recommend this dish. Because of this dish, we thought about maybe coming and giving a second shot at the breakfast because half the menu seemed like breakfast. Restaurant was clean, staff was nice and tentative. Manager was very active to some of the other tables. All in all, I don't think it's worth the price. read more

Gabacho in Glendora Village is such a great addition to the area. The restaurant is beautiful inside with a welcoming, upscale vibe that works for both brunch and dinner. We started with an Arnold Palmer and strawberry lemonade both refreshing and well balanced. For food, the mango goat cheese salad was fresh with a nice mix of sweet and tangy. The Vache sandwich was the standout for me super soft, juicy steak with a rich mushroom sauce that brought everything together perfectly. The La Diabla pasta was also flavorful with a nice kick. We ended with the French toast, which was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside definitely a great way to finish the meal. Overall, a really solid dining spot with unique flavors. Looking forward to coming back and trying more of the menu. read more

Made it out to Gabacho for their opening day dinner!!! Absolutely beautiful revamp on what was Glendora's Village Eatery location! Loved the warm lighting and decor and the beautiful wall murals. Would've preferred some sort of French café inspired music for the ambience, but instead we were listening to what sounded like wedding dinner music. He got the chicken breast plate with mushroom and it was plated beautifully!! The au gratin was delicious, but lacked a lil seasoning. The salad could of used more dressing. I ordered the carbonara pasta and it was rich, and creamy, with the egg yolk to mix in to my pasta. Our waitress was lovely and very attentive! And we enjoyed being greeted by Nelson, as well as Chef David! Been stalking Gabacho for awhile now on INSTAGRAM and I look forward to coming back for breakfast soon!!! Welcome to Glendora Gabacho!!! You were delicious!!! read more

This place just opened on Thursday, and having lived in France. We wanted to come and check out the quality of the food and whether it really is true French style. We were very excited as the quality of the food was excellent, the service was on point and the management were regularly walking around, asking for feedback and checking in on customers. It was a wonderful experience, and the ambience was very nice for families, couples for all types of occasions. This place serves breakfast, brunch and lunch. There's a great choice on the menu! My only wish is that an Oat Latte should not cost $8.49, that is too much for a local restaurant. read more

Made reservation for Friday dinner and glad we did, as the place was quite popular and almost every table was full. Gabacho has been open for less than two months and still working on kinks but has lots of promise. We had seafood risotto, salmon tacos, la diabla pasta and salmon ala almendra. The diabla pasta was quite spicy and lots of meaty ingredients. I requested the seafood risotto without cheese, lots of seafood though the rice tasted less than arborio and more like calrose rice. Salmon ala almendra was very large portion though a bit overwhelming with the sweet orange sauce. We shared a creme brulee, tasty and reminded me more of a crema Catalun. Overall, we enjoyed our meal at a nicely decorated restaurant. read more

When I say "wow," I truly mean it. This venue is absolutely stunning, definitely picture perfect with amazing service that enhances the entire experience. The atmosphere gave us nothing but a warm feeling. Their food was outstanding, fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. I was especially impressed by their fresh squeezed orange juice. As someone who genuinely appreciates high quality orange juice, I was initially hesitant after reading a less favorable review. However, I can confidently say it exceeded my expectations and was among the best I've ever had. I look forward to returning again soon. read more

A wonderful addition to downtown Glendora that we were excited to try. We dined on a beautiful Friday night. The patio was full and a musician was playing. Inside the decor was comfortable with private booths in green, a green flowered mural on one wall, and a tree of leaves moving up the ceiling - though fake, was well executed. Pleasant music played in the background. The service was well-timed with someone greeting us immediately and water served promptly. We brought our own wine and there was a reasonable corkage fee. The dinner was delicious. I had the Risotto Del Mar and my husband had the Halibut. We are looking forward to our next visit. My only suggestion to the owners is to serve the bread before the meal (vs with). It also could benefit both businesses if a wine deal was struck with Coco Vino down the street. read more

Gabacho is a French / Latin American restaurant in Glendora, California. Gabacho has a very comfortable atmosphere with soothing background music and is a great place to carry on a conversation. The owner and chef, David, was warm, welcoming, and very friendly, as well as all of the other staff members. We had the escargot appetizer and the artichoke dip. The escargot, which is one of my favorite dishes, was cooked in garlic, butter, lemon, and parsley. It was awesome. If you've never tried it, try it! And if you had it anywhere else and didn't like it, keep in mind not every place that serves escargot knows what they're doing. Gabacho, in Glendora, California, is not one of those places! The flavors were awesome. The escargot was tender, not chewy, the best I've had in recent memory and a very long time. The artichoke dip was also tasty and served with tortilla chips; however, I believe it pairs better with the bread that they serve. I wanted to try the frog legs. Yes, they have that as well, but they were out. I plan on trying the frog legs next time I go. The two entrées that we ordered were the chicken breast with the piccata madeira and mushroom sauce and the risotto de la Mer with fresh salmon, scallops, and shrimp in the De La Mer sauce. Both entrées were delicious, presented with a touch of class fit for a king and/ or queen. The portions were perfect at what I believe to be a very reasonable price. Another patron had ordered the ribeye steak with salad, and oh man, did that look good! I totally plan to return and try several more of the menu items. Gabacho's is my new favorite place. read more

There's a quiet meaning behind the name Gabacho. The owner once told me he chose this location because of the mountain view. After sitting here myself, I began to understand why. A city. A mountain. And a small restaurant resting somewhere in between. "Gabacho" is a word that has always carried a sense of distance, and at the same time, a sense of belonging. Somehow it feels exactly right here. The food matches the place in the same quiet way -- simple, thoughtful, and unhurried. One city. One mountain. One table. One Gabacho. Some places you visit. Some places stay with you. This one stays. read more

One of the newest restaurants in the Village, Gabacho is at the top of my list of places to eat. Their service is wonderful. Enrique goes above and beyond to make your dining experience memorable.

First time trying this new, local eatery featuring French/Latin fusion fare. It's right up the street from the very best Glendora has to offer, Speakeasy Friday at Coco Vino so I thought it wise to give the new kid on the block a try before enjoying some wine & jazz. Joined by two longtime friends, one of which resides in Paris part time, we were all pleased with the service and food we sampled. My Parisian pal began with a plate of escargot. He assured me that Gabacho had done an excellent job preparing the dish. Certainly, the presentation of the dish was quite inviting. I was content to take his word for it but when pressed to try one, I sampled the escargot and was delightfully surprised at the pleasant taste, and texture! Meanwhile my other friend and I tried soup appetizers. He had the tomato, I ordered the French onion. My friend remarked that his tomato soup was delicious. For me, the French onion was very good, if not the best I've had. Seems every restaurant has a slightly different take on this classic standard. Photos of our appetizers will be included with this review. However, for some reason I did not take any photos of our 3 main courses. Perhaps it was because we were too enamored with the meal?! Anyway , suffice it to say we were happy with our choices. I had the pan roasted chicken breast. It was quite tasty. My Parisian paisan had the Salmon A La Almendra. He was pleased. Our 3rd party guest had the Pasta De La Mer much to his delight. The service was standard and acceptable on every level. With two friends visiting from out of town I could not be happier with the choice I made to give Gabacho a try. read more

Enjoyed our brunch today! This place is just beautiful I wish we asked for seating near the front windows, though. The Staff was friendly and very attentive. We walked in thinking we were underdressed because of the uniforms they had. Fortunately, they reassured us that our sweatshirts/jeans were just fine. The omelette and breakfast sandwich were both delicious. It was a little odd to have a salad and potato gratin with our meal, but both were fine. I would have liked a balsamic vinaigrette instead of ranch, though. Overall, we enjoyed our breakfast. Hope they do well! read more

New spot across the street from my salon. I was iffy to walk in but immediately the reception I received was warm and welcoming. I ordered to go but decided to eat there. I orders the rib eye omelette with a side of fruit instead of the potatoes. It was so good, a different flavor from any other place. The side fruit salad with mango bits and kale was tasty, not what I find in other restaurants and wow it did not disappoint. Staff made it all that much better experience.

We went for brunch and got a latte, Crepe de la Baie, Limousin Omelette, and a Kids Turkey and Jack Crepe. The food was surprisingly good! I had the Crepe de la Baie, and the texture of the crepe was not dry at all, the shrimp was fresh and tender, and they use real crab. My husband enjoyed his omelette, especially the brie, and it came with a couple pieces of baguette on the side. The baguette had the perfect crisp on the outside and was very soft in the middle. So good! The kids seemed to like the kids crepe too. We will be back to try their dinner menu! Welcome to Glendora, Gabacho!
