Too expensive. Food okay.
We were very upset when Gabriela's closed in its other two locations. My husband loved their traditional rotisserie chicken, and I really liked the flautitas and quite a few other things. The new incarnation, though, thinks it's something it's not. We ordered delivery to try them out. Our two dishes and one guacamole the other day came to $50! No drinks, no extras, just a taco salad, a chicken burrito, and a small order of guacamole - it's not like we ordered something that one would expect would be hugely expensive. Portion size was not commensurate with the prices, either, and the burrito did not contain all the ingredients that I was told it would. Very disappointing. We won't be ordering from there again any time soon.

Miss the old Gabriela's
Drinks are still great. But the food is simply not as good as it used to be. Portions are still generous, but most plates went back to the kitchen 1/2 full, and did not return as doggie bags. I also miss the old homey space. The new one is overdecorated and has the feel of an airport/hotel restauant. Overall, I'd say that the new place lacks the personal attention in the kitchen, the friendly service that made a meal there feel like festive occasion, and the comfortable seating/decor that said 'fiesta'. Go for drinks and maybe apps, but there's better meals/dining experiences elsewhere.

Delicious Food, Slow Service
After having read the review in the TimeOut magazine my girlfriend and I decided to go. It was well worth the wait and the food was delicious. The only downfall was a not so attentive waitress.

Gabriela's is GREAT!
The food is wonderful and the portions are generous. The service is ok, nothing great but the food makes up for it. The gaucamole that the waiter offers you in the beginning is $9.00, so unless you're a fan stick with the free salsa and chips. Be prepared to wait for a table because this is a popular place. Once you try it you will definitely go back.

Simply Mex-rific!
The nachos, gaucamole, and sides are too die for! The margaritas are sublime. Finally! Good Mexican on the UWS. The service is slow but definitely worth the wait.

Gabriela's is addictive!
I chose Gabriela's for a night out with the some friends and it was so good, I ordered it delivered the next night. I think they must add something to make it addictive... I keep thinking about their delicious food. We were fans of the old Gabriela's, but the new one is soooo much better. The Yucatan chicken is no longer the bargain it had been, but it is a decent value, especially for delivery. The avocado and tomato quesadillas are fantastic. I love the chicken enchilladas too.

Better than the old Gabriela's
I've been to the new Gabriela's three times, and have enjoyed the food immensely. The service is slow, but the servers are polite and eager to please. I think this is the best Mexican in the upper UWS, and the atmosphere is great.
