I ordered a fish plate and didn't have a chance to touch my food. When our waitress, Ale, came by and asked if I wanted to take it home, I said yes. Instead of packaging it, she threw the entire plate away. When we asked about it--assuming she was preparing it to-go--she laughed, said "oops," and made no offer to remake the dish, discount it, or remove it from the bill. Her service throughout the visit felt disorganized, and she seemed distracted and inattentive. We typically enjoy dining here and rarely experience issues, but this was by far the most disappointing visit we've had. read more

I haven't been here in a very long time, the new look is very nice. The service was Good. I'm sorry the food was not, no flavor what's so ever red sauce on my enchiladas it was bitter. Also the other person with me order a burger not good either. I was hoping for better. read more

Breakfast was cold, bacon almost raw, though restaurant wasn't full. It was expensive too.

Been here multiples times and always wanted a bit more out of it. The environment is really nice and so is the service the waitresses are really good and very attentive and I'm always happy with the service here. The food however, has some opportunities for improvement in my opinion, I recently had their menudo on Sunday and had to add quite a bit of salt and chili flakes to get something out of it, the bread was barely toasted and buttered as well. I've had food here other than the menudo and something is always somehow missing; this is my only issue with the restaurant that has a very friendly and knowledgeable staff that always make me and my family feel welcome. read more

Definitely give this place a try! It has been around many years and it had been a minute since I had returned. We were a party of 7 and the service was good, food spectacular and ambiance relaxing. Great traditional Mexican dishes. Like grandma would make! read more

The food was really good, especially for the price. The service could've been a little bit better but I understand it was towards closing time and I think the guy wanted to get the heck out of there. The ambience was super chill since I was just with my friend trying to enjoy a good time, but definitely the food special was incredible two meals for $12 so basically six dollars a meal and they came with really good beans really good rice and the tacos were just incredible. I think I took pictures but I'll post later Cause it was really good. I would definitely go back as a matter of fact Wednesdays is their special that we're discussing right now read more

The place was bad, waited 2 hours to get cold tacos and messed up our order. our server was horrible and off her stuff this place sucks don't waste your money when mcdonald's can do better for a fraction of the price. read more

I and others are announcing we will no longer be dining at this establishment,due to selfishness of the parking area which is blocked off at main entrance coming from the freeway.Of which is also dangerous in case of an emergency, there will be a pile up and emergency vehicles will not be able to enter and at that time looking for a way to enter could be a matter of life and death due to seconds.If this establishment considers themselves El Paso Strong or not, let's share the road and consider unforeseen circumstances ahead. read more

First time at this restaurant and the service and food were phenomenal. I now can understand why there was a 'line' when we arrived and a longer 'line' when we departed. All of the food ordered was delicious and our waiter was an amazing young man that always on top of items being requested etc. The eating area was full of people all enjoying their meal and having a pleasant time. The entire place and bathrooms were very clean. A large parking area is available directly in front. read more

The variety of plates for lunch and dinner is attractive. The tacos and chile rellenos are great. The dining area is intimate and warm. To-go service is timely. You get a slight discount if you pay in cash. read more

We hosted our annual Christmas party at Gabriels- anxious to get together with friends after the pandemic. Gabriel's restaurant was a wonderful venue and very hospitable. The wait staff was wonderful and the room was perfect! They had four items on the menu to choose from and allowed us the freedom to have our party games and favors. The food was GREAT and everyone had a marvelous time. Thank you so much! We will definitely be back! Our waitress Veronica was the BEST I've seen at a gathering that large. Thank you Veronica. read more

This place is fantastic! I guess it's no wonder they're always busy. We came here for breakfast (well, brunch by the time we arrived), and they were packed! There was a wait, but there was just two of us, so we were able to sit in the bar area right away. Our server was WONDERFUL; very helpful and fast. The menu is pretty large and a bit different from other Mexican restaurants in the area (they even had an American breakfast section). I ended up ordering the Huevos Rancheros (eggs on a tortilla in some kind of tomato sauce with extra tortillas on the side, breakfast potatoes, & beans). Next time I'll get it without cheese (i don't think it listed cheese on the menu, but I should just always say no cheese all the time haha). The eggs were cooked perfectly over medium as I requested, and though normally I don't care for the sides, these were too good to skip! The breakfast potatoes were seasoned and cooked so well that I inhaled them, and the beans had a kind of smoky flavor to them. So good! My boyfriend was very happy with his pancakes and sausage. And, everything was very reasonably priced (which is especially awesome right now since inflation is out of control). I can't wait to come back here and try everything on their menu! read more

Absolutely love the rice and beans here! Food comes out quick. I came here with my mom for lunch. They have a new lunch special everyday that includes soup. Their fideo soup is delicious with the right amount of spice! Would definitely recommend this restaurant. read more

This was one of my favorite Mexican restaurants for many years. Unfortunately, it is not what it used to be. I will not be returning because this morning my mother and I experienced an extremely bad situation with our order. After waiting 20 minutes we were told that the item that we ordered was on the breakfast menu and they were going substitute something else from the lunch menu. We decided that we were no longer interested in wasting time. The waitress should have let us know about the delay. Also the waitress told us we would have to pay for eggs to go with the chilaquiles. That's a new one on me. On another occasion we ordered menudo but were told that there were no lemons because they are too expensive. Very strange. After the chilaquiles fiasco we decided to leave and they charged us $6.50 for the coffee that we were drinking waiting for the order. Waiting 20 minutes for a non existent order and still being charged for the coffee. I protested but we were charged for the coffee anyway. That sealed my decision to never return to Gabriel's because of the lack of consideration for THE CUSTOMER! I will certainly relay my experience to anyone who asks me for an opinion on this establishment. Goodbye Gabriel's!!!. read more

Great place to eat always delicious great service take-out great service Alejandra the cashier always get your order corrected and on time

We moved to Colorado and moved back since 2018. I am not sure why we have not eaten at Gabriel's Cafe! The food was in point and delicious! We also had dessert and got the Apple Pie A La Mode!l! The service was top notch and the waitress was extremely attentive! read more

We visited Gabriel's yesterday afternoon (5/22/22) and checked in with the male host. I excitedly asked if they had any vegetarian options and the gentleman's immediate response was, "you're in the wrong place" in a sarcastic tone of voice and a smirk on his face. Our experience was very unfortunate and it saddens us to know that this particular restaurant is not sensitive to consider the needs of some people. If you are vegetarian, "you don't belong here"is the message we received during our visit. read more

Came here for an employee Christmas party and drove right past it due to their sign being pretty dark during the night. They have decent amount of parking space and have nice people to greet you and take you to your seats. I really like the atmosphere here. Nice lighting, and furnished with an authentic Mexican style. The chips were fresh and crispy-not too hard. I really enjoyed their fresh verde salsa, I ended up using it on my rice and enchiladas too haha. I had tried their red cheese enchiladas, which came with rice, beans and lettuce. It was absolutely amazing. I did not have a huge appetite but I sure ate the crap out of it! The portions are well sized, not too little, not too much. My husband had the green chicken enchiladas and loved them! He doesn't usually like to spicy of food, and this was mild enough for him to take down. Their bar is pretty small but cute. They have beer, wine and cocktails, or you can simply order a shot of whiskey. I, of course had to try their margaritas, and they were the business!! They were huge, and not overloaded with that sour mix. I ordered two ;) They weren't expensive either! I paid roughly $5 for a margarita on the rocks. I really enjoyed the food, and the time I had here. I can definitely see myself coming back. I wish they delivered to my area, I'd totally order from there again. Its just a tad bit far from my house. I also hear they have dollar tacos, I probably will make the trip for those next :) read more

Food was decently good. But the Service was HORRIBLE. from the moment of walking in, they kept bringing someone to sit us and they kept passing it to the next person. Before we sat we were asked what we wanted to drink with no drink menu available. Food came at a decent time. We had to go ask someone for water because our waitress never came back. She sat across the restaurant to talk to another coworker. And on her phone. read more

Food connoisseurs will eventually discover Gabriel's Restaurant, serving very good authentic Mexican food in El Paso, Texas. I was greeted with a smile, upon arrival. The waiter, Miguel and the host, Lauren, were both gregarious, very attentive to details and maintains good eye contact. Miguel gave me three options for dark beer. I tried them all: Indio, Dos XX and Negra Modelo. Miguel also recommended the best seafood dish, Camaron a la Plancha. The chips with green salsa and the Camaron were excellent. Kudos to the chef. The service was fast. The servings and the price were reasonable. A wheelchair will comfortably fit inside their ADA compliant restroom for men. It smelled good and clean. A paper towel dispenser was missing inside their restroom. On my next visit, I will bring my family, relatives and friends to Gabriel's Restaurant.

My friend wanted to have some "real Mexican" food... so I took her hear. Then she starts to order tex-mex... embarrassing. But alas... we ordered and ordered and damn it was all so good. He brought spicy salsa, loved it... loved the regular stuff. The nachos were off the hook and massive! The drinks were so good too and my main dish of pork really hit the spot. I'd love to go here again if I were in town! read more

This is one of the worst restaurants that I've ever been to. I know I'm not the only one, because literally 2 other tables left. It took 15 minutes to get our drinks or any acknowledgment. The food was so-so, and the restaurant was not even busy; nor did they seem understaffed. Never again will I come back! read more

Very Good Food Love the Enchiladas The atmosphere is good and friendly service The Tacos de alambre are also very delicious read more

I got the cheese quesadilla and I bit into it and the cheese was cold and connected together. The cheese did not stick to the quesadilla at all. I got a side salad and I asked for vinaigrette and they give me a thing that looks like ranch but I tried it and it taste like mayo. I don't recommend this. read more

Me and my wife went to Gabriel's restaurant food was fantastic the service was incredible they were short staffed how ever everyone was running around serving people making sure your drink was full we got our food very quickly the service was impeccable I highly recommended this restaurant this is a family owned business who cares about their employees and they care about the community and it shows please if you're in El Paso Texas go to Gabriels it's well worth it read more

Went to have a nice lunch with my family, but I dont believe the server was on board. We ordered our food which took a long time to get there, the server came up and said it would be there shortly, which led me to believe she forgot to put the order in, or had just remembered we were there. When the food came the cheese was less than warm, as was the meat. Three orders of tacos, and one chile relleno, all tacos luke warm and warm chile. Slow to fill drinks, and bring chips, I am sure the food was good and hot at some point. Overall the waitress turned good food to bad, and bad service to money not well spent. read more

This place is a walking Health Department violation. A large group of us went there for dinner and here is our assessment: Bar: The bar was substandard. They ran out of Dos Equis within 10 minutes. No sparkling water, Club Soda made from tap water, no limes, no mint. Facilities: The bathrooms were filthy. In the mensroom was vomit and grafitti. In the women's room it stank like an open sewer, there were no paper towels and the toilets had clearly not been cleaned in over a week. In one stall appeared to be smeared fecal material. The fish tank in the entrance was filthy. Check this out: there were used utensils on the window ledge next to our table. Food: Horrible salsa. Steak extremely fatty: more fat than meat. One entree described as having three jumbo shrimp but they were were not jumbo by any stretch of the imagination. Pollo Asado: Needed a steak knife to cut the chicken. The baked potatoes were undercooked. Service: Terrible service; of course, since we were a large group-the 18% service charge was included. At one point a waiter stood up on the water fountain and bellowed out a question regarding whether he had taken all our orders. The waiters did not write down who ordered what meal so did not know who got what steak, etc. We had to go to the bar on our own on several occasions to get drinks: That's how bad the service was. read more

I came all the way from Lewisville, TX and this place was highly recommended. Where to begin...the service was poor, the food was tasteless and the price was a joke! I would not recommend this place to nobody! It wasnt even busy!! read more

Just finished getting out of that restaurant, horrible service. Unfortunately we went for a 1st communion celebration. The worst service ever. The food took forever to be brought, my husband was one of the first to get his food, I was the last one! NO salsa or tostadas. Even to get our drinks took forever. I don't know how the place is still in business. read more

The food was terrible. I ordered a red chicken enchilada, the sauce was legit marinara sauce and the chicken tasted like dog food. They were out of almost every drink on the menu and the guacamole and queso were very watery. They didn't pick up any of our dishes once we were done until we had to put them on a completely different table. They are a Mexican restaurant and they couldn't even get flan right. read more

I really love Gabriel's. I go there quite often as a customer of mine always chooses to go back. I have had a wide variety of their dishes and they are consistently VERY good! The staff is consistently excellent, no matter who waits on me. Their salsa is quite 'picante' so watch out if you haven't developed your taste to jalapenos, but it is SO good! I believe our favorite is the 'tacos alambre' but you won't go wrong no matter which dish you choose! read more

Came here with a party of 35. They set up for us quickly and proceeded to serve us very efficiently. The servers assigned to our tables were polite, courteous and on point. The food was served hot and was delicious. Will be back! read more

Loved them dollar tacos, to die for! And the salsa was super hot, real salsa!!! Great service as well, however tortilla soup was decent

We have been to Gabriel's many times in the past. Today was the first time it was really bad. Service was terrible. We didn't get utensils before our food came, we had to adk for them. Our server was more interested in talking to the girl at the front. Not once did he come and see if we needed a refill or anything. We had to ask another waiter for a refill. Caldo de Res was cold when it arrived and when it was taken back all they did was put it in a microwave. Good thing we have been here before because if this was the first time, we would definitely not come back. read more

Service was fast and the hostess was excellent. I highly recommend the tacos al pastor they are great!

Good authentic Mexican food, nothing fancy, just good food and really good service. I was worried at the start of our visit when they told us they didn't have a high chair for my 16 month old boy. We used a booster chair with great hesitation. The place was pretty busy and there were a lot of families with children in high chairs but they need a few more. My family ordered a variety of items on the menu and we were all pleased. Everything was pretty tasty. Even my sons were happy with their food. It's not fine dinning but it was good and very filling. I saw a lot of items coming out of the kitchen that I'd like to try on our next visit. I was surprised at the level of service that we received. The food came out quickly and my drink was never empty. We will be back to try some of the other menu items. If you go try the flautas rancheras, I think they're a family favorite although they are too spicy for the kids. read more
