I can't help but share my heartfelt experience at Gaba restaurant in Mexico City. In my first few months of settling into this bustling city, Gaba quickly became more than just a place to dine—it felt like a second home. From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted with warmth by every member of their team. They embraced me as part of their family, a feeling that has endured with each visit.
During Ramadan this year, I made the choice to fast from sunrise until sunset. While I didn't want to confine myself indoors, finding a welcoming space outside my home posed a challenge. However, Gaba was an exception. Despite my fasting, they graciously welcomed me to work there, understanding and respecting my commitment. It was a gesture that touched me deeply, fostering a sense of belonging and acceptance.
I must give special recognition to Zayd, the talented barista whose passion infuses every drink with richness and flavor. His dedication shines through, evident in every sip. And to Adolfo, whose infectious smile and jovial spirit make every interaction a joyous one. Their genuine warmth added an extra layer of delight to my visits at Gaba.
If you find yourself in Mexico City, I urge you to pay a visit to Gaba. Beyond the delectable food and beverages, you'll be enveloped in the same warmth and hospitality that has made it a cherished sanctuary for me. Trust me, it's an experience you won't...

Read moreWould come back for the catch of the day because the crispy skin on the fish and the green sauce were PHENOMENAL.
Extremely attentive service and patience from our waiter Said. New plates and utensils were given for almost every dish.
My recommendations in this order: Catch of the day - the green sauce is amazing. Wish I could have the recipe or buy a bottle of the sauce Pork ear (surprisingly good even with all the apple! The almonds make it chefs kiss) Pork tomahawk - nice flavor on the meat. But too much vinaigrette on the lettuce Crudo of the day - the fish was very fresh and liked the contrast with the crispy rice
My friends loved the clams and the bread that came with it but it was okay to me.
Would pass on the grilled oyster mushroom because it is way too charred for my taste.

I'd...
