Gabbi's Mexican Kitchen

Food is Artistic & DELICIOUS. Located in prime area of Old Towne Orange 's Plaza ⛲ Square ⏺️ Historical District. House made Wine SANGRIA both Red & White is phenomenal. BEST WHITE PRICKLY PEAR SANGRIA this -side of Caratgena! IMHO Tequila options r plentiful & Always hav Cruz Azul at top shelf of elegant Bar area. Literally get on counter 2 get the "good" stuff down...or use the Bottle Arm lol. Seen both techniques work well. Bar area is a masterpiece. The whole atmosphere is Brilliant & Lovely Outside seating is varied in 2 ways. Covered Patio jic it rains...worx great Entire menu is full of creative options w/ very fresh and quality ingredients! Mole is stellar.. all of it! Seafood is wonderful. Shrimp Crepes/enchiladas r fav. Try the empanadas 2. Chips r thick & crisp...goes well w/ the guacamole & salsa. Always GoodTimes cuz of the contagious GoodVibes from Staff. Found durN most visits we notice the Staff helps 2 create lots of laughs ... or sumtimes even the crowd is impetus (Great crowd btw). Prolly sum of the BEST service around Enjoy... bSafebHappybWell Parking: Limited front street parking...it a matter of luck...BUT City of Orange has FREE ️ arking lot directly behind restaurant ( back door has steps tho -fyi). Also ️-ing lot across street down The #AlleyPlaza...just follow the crosswalk. Handicap spots spread throughout. Wheelchair accessibility: Easy to find Handicap parking usually. Front entrance has some street parking spots if lucky steps from Gabbis! Or Rear City of Orange parking lot and another City of Orange parking lot across street..follow crosswalk down #TheAlleyPlaza. Getting to restaurant is level for most part. Has rear entry door. Lil cramped and has steps. Actual Gabbis Layout inside is straight forward and if need extra room request ahead of time. They are very accommodating. Discovered best area is upfront area or patio if able...bar area near wall is great spot if U can get it. Also the patio can accommodate any needs. Staff is extremely observant & kind.

Good very nice

Great Mexican off the circle in orange. Nice ambience internally with a fun relaxed vibe. Home made chips and salsa are excellent (note there is a small charge so you need to ask for them). Empanada to start with was not the normal dough but more filo like which made the ratio of filling (shrimp) to dough better, highly recommended. Carnitas with home made tortillas was excellent. Great service. Cocktails were great. Great dinner location.

Great service and huge tacos! Yummy Chips and Salsa.

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.

Had a great time here with Friends. Appetizers. Dinner and dessert! Great food
