Food is Artful & DELICIOUS. Located in prime area of Old Towne Orange ? Plaza ⏺️ Historical ? District.House made Wine SANGRIA both Red & White is phenomenal and light. BEST WHITE PRICKLY PEAR SANGRIA this -side of Caratgena!Tequila options r plentiful. Bar area is a masterpiece. The whole atmosphere is Brilliant & Lovely Outside seating.Entire menus is full of creative options w/ very fresh and quality ingredients! Seafood is wonderful. Try the empanadas 2.Always GoodTimes cuz of the GoodVibes. Great crowd!Prolly sum of the BEST service around?Enjoy... bSafebHappybWell ?Parking: Limited front street parking BUT I'm rear City of Orange has public free ?️ arking lot.Handicap spots spread throughout.Wheelchair accessibility: Easy to find Handicap parking usually.Getting to restaurant is level for most part.Has rear entry door. Lil cramped tho.Layout inside best upfront or at bar area.Also the patio can accommodate any needs.Staff is extremely observant & kind.
We had a reservation, but were told our table had a birthday group just finishing up and could we wait 10 minutes. We gladly took a stroll around the Orange circle, waiting for their text. When we returned 15 minutes later, we were told the party had still not left but the they were just paying so it would be ready very shortly. We stood there and waited another 20 minutes while while we watched 3 other couples get seated before us??? The food was expensive for the quantity, really small portions for what you pay. The music was on loud, so everyone had to be loud to hear each other. Halfway through our dinner they turned it up even more. The server hardly spent time at our table, which was in the busiest area of the restaurant. We were really looking forward to this restaurant, but our experience left us disappointed.

I've been wanting to visit Gabbi's for awhile now, and it didn't disappoint. The decor is beautiful and the drinks were delicious. I ordered the carnitas and my friend got the avocado and masa cake. We both loved our meals. The portions were generous without being too much. The service was friendly, helpful and not overbearing. They didn't rush us. Definitely will return.

I don't know how you screw tacos up but this place did it. This was my first time at Gabbi's and most likely my last time. The place looks great and has a great feel. Our server was awesome and he tried. He really tried but they didn't give him much to work with. My whiskey sour was missing the whiskey for how weak that drink was. We ordered the quesadilla as an appetizer, not impressed after digging it out under all the garnish. Pollo tacos, awful. To a point I stopped mid-conversation it was so bad. Our server suggested the Alhambre tacos. They weren't really much better but my date had been finished for awhile so I just boxed everything up and left. Never ate the tacos I took home.

McKenna was an amazing server. Took care of our table, constantly checked back with us and made sure our drinks were always full. Food is amazing. Definitely one of my favorite Mexican cuisine spots in
Service oriented staff. They all seem to multitask so they do everything before you think about it - fill your glass, remove empty dish, take drink order, offer dessert menu, provide an extra plate or spoon. Noisy but attractive and cozy inside. Delicious mole tostaditas, pezole verde, tres leche dessert.Parking: None on street of restaurants. Found two blocks away and there were other spots within blocks. No restaurant lot. This was at 5:15 PM.

Been here several times and this experience was very disappointing. I came to celebrate a birthday with 3 people who've never been here before after I've been raving it . Took 45 minutes to get our food at noon and many people who sat afterwards were served first. Had to ask for more water 4 different times and we were never offered another beer. The birthday was never acknowledged even after I put it in open table & mentioned it to hostess when we came in and opened presents at the table. I felt we were inconveniencing our server.
Our server was very good once it was determined who was our server. We started with one, took drinks order and never came back. Then another one came to take order and never came back. Our last waiter, she was friendly and very good. Food is good but not excellent. Javier's and Calo Kitchen are better.

Friendly server. Scrumptious lunch with citrus salad and enchiladas suizas. Very flavorful tomatillo sauce on the enchiladas. Salad greens were fresh, nice mix of citrus and other veggies in the salad, with freshly made dressing. Work on putting a few sophisticated mocktails on the menu, for those of us who don't drink alcohol.

Oh my gosh - amazing!!! Each of us had amazing dishes - no one wanted to try each other's because we were absolutely in heaven eating what was in front of us. The shrimp enchiladas were unbelievable - so incredibly flavorful! Atmosphere was very cool and also very welcoming. Our server, McKenna, couldn't have been nicer or more attentive. Can't wait to go back!

I've been to this restaurant about three different times. Every time I've been the service has been pretty terrible. Even with reservations my party and I have had long waits to be seated and to get the servers to notice us. Each time we've had to wait a minimum of 10 minutes to be greeted or even offered water. The first two times I let the service slide because it seemed busy. However this last time I went into the restaurant was Valentine's Day, my partner and I went around 1pm. The place was not busy at all. As usual, the service was terrible. From the moment we got seated, with a reservation, to the moment we received our food was about 1hr 10min. The food is delicious but the service is pretty terrible. I really hope they do better because it's a shame I'll never recommend this place since I don't want to be embarrassed by the bad service.
