This was our first time at Gabriela and Sofia’s, trying on a recommendation, we were NOT disappointed! The staff were all friendly and our server, Isri, (my apologies if I misspelled that) was amazing. I had questions aplenty and curiosities that were both menu and non menu related. He was knowledgeable, helpful and offered honest opinions about a few options that were available. In addition, we didn’t have to ask for refills, he was on top of that the entire time.
This dining experience was a vast and welcome improvement from that of the one we had at “Chante”, and it restored my soul. The chips, mashed black beans and two different salsas brought to the table were flavorful and well presented. We also ordered the chili con queso with ground beef added, the small cup size was plenty for the two of us and we still had left overs. The chicken tortilla soup, which was both well seasoned and HOT, was an improvement to previously sampled soups of the past. To often soup has received warm at best, needing to be heated up. Not this time! We had fajitas, he ordered the ribeye fajitas and I, the traditional. Both versions come with bell pepper, onion and fried potato slices. Additionally, the ribeye fajitas came with a gratuitous amount of extra veggies; spinach, mushrooms, sliced green and yellow zucchini, as well and carrot pieces. The refried beans and rice are not over seasoned, we’re served at a good temperature and tasted great, even at the end of the night. He asked for “The Diablo” salsa which does not normally come with the meal, but we do like spicy food. This variety of salsa was not overwhelmingly spicy and maintained a great flavor. As to our experience at this establishment: The quality and quantity of the food was worth both the price and the drive from Denton. My parents are visiting this weekend and we plan on taking them there for breakfast. To Gabriela and...
Read moreVery good. The chips are great! They come out with red salsa, black bean dip, and green salsa. All were very tasty. My wide got the chicken flautas. They looked really good and she said they tasted great. Her only critique was they were a little greasy and her diet coke refill was a little flat. Our daughter got Sofia plate (I believe). The enchiladas looked awesome! She said they were very good. Only complaint was there was part of one enchilada that had a huge pile of garlic. Like when she uncovered it with her fork, I smelled it from across the table before she even said anything. Bummer, because otherwise it was a very nice plate. I got the fajita beef with two fried eggs. If never had anything quite like it. The eggs were cooked perfectly. Nice and runny. The red sauce on top of the eggs and tortillas was pretty much strait tomatoes. Very tasty but no spice at all, which was fine with me. The fajita beef was very good. I would say the second best we've found here in Texas. We sat out on the patio. What a great space. They had music playing and it was a beautiful fall afternoon. We all agreed, the patio was a great space. You see it just a few feet away from where you park but it didn't feel like you were out on the sidewalk because it is down a side...
Read moreUnfortunately first and last experience with this resteraunt. I came here to see if i was mistaken but have had the same experience as others with the service. We waited 9 minutes (no one at the front podium) with what turned out to be the host walking back and forth and making eye contact to finally be approached, we asked for a table to seat 4 and the host said ok then walked off. We waited an additional 6 minutes and were asked if we were ready, we followed to a haphazardly cleaned booth and were seated, no menu, no drinks, no request for a child seat. After a few minutes of looking around and attempting to come up with excuses of low staff, many customers or anything at all, we were just perplexed. The waiters buzzed past our table multiple times but never stopped, we set a stopwatch on out phone and after 10 minutes of no service we left.(26+mins total) Im a forgiving person, and will play devils advocate in others defense but this was extremely poor service in neglecting a table/a patient family, as well as bad communication when being approached. Good luck if you go. Sunday Around 6:30pm For birthday/first...
