With 3 hours notice Eli was able to seat 20 family members on a Friday night! The staff was very friendly, very responsive, and joined in with our family in laughter. Our drink orders were taken immediately and then our food orders. Food came from kitchen at the same time, HOT!! Food was presented well and was delicious. Chips, salsa and drinks were refilled in record time without asking. Plenty of parking. Would definitely visit this restaurant when in town again!!!

I thoroughly enjoyed my visit here. Maybe I'm tainted by being starved of visits to restaurants during the pandemic, but wow was this good. The restaurant is hidden inside a no-frills stripe mall. The moment I walked in the front door, I was greeted with kind friendly people. They were all wearing masks and gloves. Several people checked on me. All of them were pleasant and engaged. I felt welcomed. Their menu has been converted to the online QR code, which I find highly convenient. I hope this becomes a permanent change for every restaurant. I ordered Gaby's Dinner off the enchiladas menu. It was two chicken enchiladas topped with ranchero sauce and sauteed veggies. The sides were rice and refried beans. The sauteed veggies were the star of the show. Wow. The onions had a smokey caramelized flavor. The mushrooms were fresh and perfectly cooked. The spinach was cooked but still bright green. The only way I know how to do that is blanching in cold water to stop the cooking. The seasoning in the veggies was divine. It's a rare case where the enchilada was second fiddle to the toppings. Don't get me wrong, the enchiladas was great, but I'm raving about the toppings that sent the dish over the top. Huge thumbs up to the atmosphere, people and food. 100% would return!

This is consistently great Tex Mex. Lots of other options as well. Service is excellent and a uniquely team approach where servers who are not yours will take care of your chips, water, etc. if they notice (before you need to ask). Chips are exceptional and come with fantastic green sauce, beans, and hot sauce/salsa. The tomato based salsa is especially good (the green and red salsa are a bit hot for some, so be warned). Table side guacamole is as good as it gets in Dallas (very similar to Anamias and way better than Mesero or Mi Cocina's bland version). Great cheese enchiladas and crispy beef taco (would prefer a bit more white onions in the enchiladas). Very good refried beans and Mexican rice. The shrimp tacos were perfectly prepared with home made tortillas. Atmosphere is ok, but could be improved to be more festive and light. Reasonable prices and great food will keep you coming back.

Friday night. What was formerly a quaint (hidden gem), Tex-Mex place with very reasonable prices and great food has become high-priced without a comparable improvement in atmosphere, food quality, or service. When you pay these high prices, you expect much nicer decor, better food, and more attentive service. My fajita chicken tacos plate was pretty plain. I also tried five times to get the server's attention for drink refills, and he was simply blind to us being there. The pandemic can't wholly be blamed for the changes as other Tex-Mex places in Dallas offer better values, atmosphere, and service.

Food: 5 / Service: 5 / Ambiance: 5 We tried Gabriela & Sofia's for the first time and would recommend giving them a try. They are located in a strip mail, next to a Tom Thumb, so there is plenty of parking. They had mostly booths and some banquette seating but they also have some outside seating in the front of the building. We were there for lunch, so they were not busy when we arrived. We were greeted and seated immediately by the same young woman who was our server, Aracely. They brought chips, black bean dip and salsa. These were all very good, particularly the chips, which had a very prominent stone ground corn flavor. We ordered a large order Nachos De La Casa (ground beef and bean), which does come with Guac, Sour Cream (that we had left off) and Jalapenos (we got extra) and The Chefs Dinner, which was a brisket taco with gravy on the side, brisket enchilada, a pork tamale and rice. The nachos were very good and had a bit of spice to the meat. It appears that the small order may be six nachos and large is eight and each nacho is sizeable We did have a small glitch in that the kitchen put a cheese enchilada on our plate instead of the brisket enchilada. We asked Aracely, to be sure it should have been brisket and not the cheese that we got, and she immediately offered to get us the brisket enchilada. She brought that out to us right away and while we did ask if she wanted to take the cheese enchilada away, she declined, so we did have the opportunity to try both the cheese and the brisket enchiladas. The enchiladas were exceptional! The cheese was filled with plenty of cheese and the brisket had both cheese and brisket...both were covered with chile con carne. The pork tamale was really big and had a great flavor. The rice was really good as well. They have a really good selection; the service and food were great!

Table side guacamole was very good. Rest of the food was good but average, no t spectacular. Service was attentive. I felt prices were on the high side for what was served. Very few patrons in the restaurant which was nice because we had plenty of room to relax. All in all, it was a nice dinner.

This place isn’t winning a Michelin Star, but for fast, simple, flavorful Mexican food with great friendly service it’s 5 stars.

I found this place close to the hotel. 4.5 rating is a great start but I was really impressed. It started with the chips and two types of salsa and a killer bean dip. I am not a bean dip fan but I would go back for just the dip it was that good.

We have been here many times. Sometimes it's excellent. Lately it has been in decline. This week we ordered two table side guacamoles. Spicy. They came bland. No salt or jalapeno. No seasoning. My sister ordered fish tacos. The fish was so salty she could not eat them. I tried a bite. Inedible. Could not get service for guac or tacos. My wife finally took the dish to the back. The server said, "We can redo it, but it will be just as salty." Second order was good, but we were all done by then. Grilled veggies were dripping in oil. Shrimp ala Diablo was overcooked and unseasoned. Overall bad service; bad food.

I have been here a few times and it is now my “go to” when anyone mentions Tex-mex. I have tried several things. The Guacamole to start is fantastic (made table side). I live the tamales and the chile rellenos. Frankly, everything I have tried has been good. Service is fast and attentive but not rushed. Hands down beats the “trendy” restaurants!

They brought out a small container of chips (not the Texas way!). The queso wasn’t up to par but the fajitas were good.
