We've heard nothing but good about Gabbi's so we went there on a weekday afternoon. The restaurant was not busy and we were immediately seated inside. The atmosphere was pleasing and we were looking forward to another great dinning experience. NOT!. We ordered an appetizer, a salad and an entree along with a tea and a diet coke. We were... more

Handmade flour and corn tortillas with an upscale ambience? What a pleasant surprise! I've been to many local favorites. From Chichen Itza, Babita & Seranata de Garibaldi in L.A., to the ubiquitous El Toritos, and back to La Barca Jalisco (South Gate) and tacos stands with no name in East L.A. Gabbi's is a standout! No really, the recipes and... more

I am a local resident in Old Towne Orange. I have always loved Gabbi's for it's atmosphere and food. However, I had a horrible experience a few months ago where I had to deal with a RUDE HOSTESS and wait 1 hour and 15 minutes for a table and when we finally sat down it took 1 hour to get... more

I live locally and I really try to patronize local businesses. I am the fartherest thing from picky about food. I have been to Gabbbi's twice in about an 18 month span. The first time I went the food was luke warm. I swore off the place but went again with some friends who wanted to go. I ordered a... more

I LOVE Gabbi's; the food is great and the staff is friendly. Unfortunately, the hostess isn't so hot. Even when there are tables available and ready, you are asked to wait outside. I also was made to wait for the rest of my small party to arrive, even though I was there at an off time and there were plenty... more

We had dinner there on Saturday night (10/11). I'll probably give it another try, but on this visit, I was disappointed by the flavors of the food. The multicolor chips were warm and tasty, but the accompanying salsa was pretty bland. At $10 for a house salad, my husband and I decided to share the "Ensalada de casa." Again, the... more

When I called the restaurant the first time to make a reservation I was surprised to not get an answer, not even an answering machine letting me know the restaurant was closed due to a street fair going on that day. I should have known that a place without an answering machine doesn’t have customer service as a priority. Nevertheless,... more
