    Escargot.
    Solomon P.

    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.

    The food here is phenomenal. I'm not a fan of Blu cheese but now I am because of Le Port burger The service here at Gabacho was excellent. Quick and was helpful in choosing what to order. The dinning room is beautifully lit with a worming welcoming light , nice jazz playing from hidden speakers. I definitely will be back very soon

    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.

    lemon salmon

    great new spot at the end of the downtown glendora strip. Got the lemon salmon with au gratin potatos. great food and a nice interior and sidewalk patio seating make this the perfect date night spot. friendly staff. Good to see a new place in town that does not disappoint.

    Vache Sandwich
    Claudia C.

    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.

    Croque Madame crepe

    Omigosh, EVERYTHING WAS SO GOOD! A little pricey, but scrumptious. The ambience is lovely in a bougie way. Everyone in our party of 7 loved what they had. FYI, if you're going for frog legs I'd call and check first... I believe it's no longer on the menu

    Carbonara!

    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!!!

    Nutella Crepe

    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.

    The ambiance was nice. The food was good both taste and presentation. Service a bit slow since there weren't many diners but it was only a small inconvenience. Would recommend and will most likely be back.

    Dessert crepe.

    Great new restaurant in the area. Had the vache sandwich which is ribeye with a mushroom sauce and brie. Very good flavor and the bread was crunchy yet soft. Also had the crepe with crab and shrimp. Also very good. Owner was super sweet and made us a sweet crepe dessert on the house. Will definitely be going back to try the other items.

    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.

    Risotto Del Mar in the foreground and Halibut in the background.
    Lisa S.

    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.

    Chicken breast with salad and potatoes
    Gregory G.

    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.

At the time, my own area had lost electricity too, so their kindness really meant a lot. A year later, in May 2026, I came back because I could not stop thinking about the guava pastry I had tried before -- and somehow it was EVEN better than I remembered. It was so good I completely forgot to take a picture before eating the whole thing I also ordered a ham sandwich on a jalapeño bagel with everything on it, and it was amazing. That one at least survived long enough for a photo! The location is tucked inside a business-looking building, so if you see the UPS sign, you're in the right spot. There's also a fingerprint scanning place in the same area. Inside is super cute and cozy with seating to hang out. It's not the most private if you want a quiet solo space, but it's perfect for meeting up with a friend for coffee or a little friend date. Highly recommend -- not just for the food, but for the kindness and community they showed when people needed it most.

There were three employees behind the counter, but it didn't feel like there was any sense of urgency. The young lady at the register had an unpleasant attitude, and instead of focusing on orders, she turned around and started chatting and flirting with a coworker. It honestly felt like they weren't prioritizing getting orders done, which made the whole experience worse. I've had much better experiences during the weekdays, especially when the older women is there service is quicker and more professional. Overall, this visit left me pretty pissed. The coffee didn't even taste the same as it usually does. I hope management looks into improving weekend staffing and customer service. To your response : I read your response, and honestly, it comes off more defensive than helpful. You can list timestamps, review footage, and explain internal processes all you want, but none of that changes the actual customer experience. We waited around 18 minutes for drinks in what looked like an empty café. If there were multiple orders ahead of us, that clearly wasn't communicated, and that's part of the problem. Trying to discredit my review by saying it's "not supported by the facts" is a bit much. My review reflects exactly what we experienced standing there. From our point of view, there was a lack of urgency, and the staff did not appear focused on getting orders out. That's not an "attack," it's an observation. Also, the tone of your response is pretty telling. Instead of acknowledging how the situation could have been handled better from a customer perspective, you chose to argue and basically suggest we're wrong. That's not a great look for a business. At the end of the day, you're focused on defending your team, and I'm focused on the experience I had and it wasn't a good one. I stand by what I said.

The latte was great too. No complaints. Not overly sweet. Strong espresso - I got jitters after. And it's crushed ice! The only dock for the star was the organization system. The cashier said she would walk the drinks and food out to us when it was ready. But seemed to be a bit disorganized to do this.

When I asked if I could get it as a large, I was told it only came in the 12 oz, so I decided not to get it. Then the barista offered another option adding pandan cold foam on top instead. I very clearly asked (twice) if that version would be a large, and she said yes. Since that worked for me, I agreed to the second option. I stepped out briefly to use the restroom, but theirs was closed, so I had to walk over to Stater Bros. When I came back, to my surprise, the drink was still a small. I was disappointed because I had specifically confirmed that the customized option would be a large. At that point, I felt rushed like they were more eager to close and go home than to fix the mistake so I didn't feel I had much of a choice but to take it. I paid $10 for a small drink, which felt unreasonable, especially considering the miscommunication. To make matters worse, the drink didn't really taste like pandan at all. Overall, the customer service felt very off at this location. I'd rather go to the San Gabriel location, where I've had a much better experience.
