The space is nice as were the staff but, we were underwhelmed by the blandness of the food. Nothing really stood out and we ordered an app., 2 entrees and a dessert. Again, the overall feeling was one of blandness. The highlights were the home made tortillas, the shrimp in the enchilada entree (sauce was bland) and the chocolate sauce for dipping the churros.

As I expected, overpriced and underwhelming. Sun Sep 21 17:44:27 -0700 2008 4051266 58406 Zadok 1 4051889 So, what did you have that you didn't like? Sun Sep 21 20:56:51 -0700 2008 4051266 36614 OCchowman 2 4051905 Didn't like is probably too strong. Nothing was that bad. We had the following: Quesillo en Salsa Verde: Fresh Oaxacan mozzarella coated in panko served with corn tortillas Enchiladas de Camarones: Two enchiladas filled with spinach, shrimp, cheese with a creamy poblano sauce, garlic white rice & frijoles negros Carnitas Nortenas: Braised Berkshire pork, cebollita, pico de gallo, guacamole and handmade tortillas Churros con Cajeta Sun Sep 21 21:08:24 -0700 2008 4051889 10883 JAB 1 4053403 After trying it twice, we felt it was overpriced and bland also. They don't even serve fresh lemonade!! Last time they charged us $8 for a bottle of water. We dined at Topo, Rick Bayless restaurant in Chicago a couple of weeks ago. At lunch time, their prices were similar to Gabbi's, but the food was so much better and creative. The service was great and the feel of the place was nice and cozy.
