I would definitely recommend eating here at Gaby's Cafe: Mexican Bar & Grill! The food is good and not too expensive - especially for the quality of the food you get. Rhinebeck isn't very much of a super busy town and being that the restaurant is tucked away has its pros and cons. The pro is that it doesn't seem to be very busy during lunch hours. The con (or pro, depending on who you are) id that it also makes the place feel very empty. Overall, I would come back here and enjoy another delicious burrito con carne asada!

My husband & I were in the area for a Sunday out. This is a cute local place. Very clean & nicely decorated. Our server was very nice & recommended the Birria tacos, which I did order, & they were very tasty. We had ordered chips & salsa & before we were done w them & about 10mins before our food came the busser removed it from our table?! My husband & I were like ??!! What on earth! No offers for drink refills/no check up afterwards to make sure everything was ok etc. Food was very good & we would visit again, but the service needs a little steer in the right direction.

Service a tad slow. Had to ask for drinks twice. And brought us a bill without asking about dessert. But the food was excellent.

The staff here was great, they immediately engaged my toddler and asked her where she wanted to sit which was very nice. We sat in a booth in the back and had plenty of room for our party of 5. The Guacamole was fresh and excellent tasting. I ordered chimichanga which was not as crispy as I was hoping it would be but otherwise the food was great.

The carnitas tacos were dry and the flavor was mild, but not bad. The spinach enchiladas were okay, also very mild. Inexpensive and festive. L

I ordered the heuvos ranchero. It was rather bland and no flavor. Plantains were not fully ripe either.

Venue was bright and charming. Service was average. Chips and salsas were homemade and very good. The pork was tender and juicy and delicious. The rice and beans were flavorless. Usually my favorite part of a Mexican meal. Finding a dish without cheese was difficult here.. testing flavors on their own was disappointing.

It was not a busy Sunday evening. Service was very slow. Had to ask 3 for my chips with salsa. Ultimately, a different waitress bought it to our table. The drinks were actually very good. The wait time for our food was almost was almost an hour. When we finally get our plates, my order is wrong. I ordered a simple burrito, and the Waiter bought out a quesadilla. When I let him know that the order was wrong he didn’t even ask me if I wanted my original order. He said “it’s just like a burrito.” Really? I decided I was not going to wait and just had the quesadilla. The rice and beans were very bland that my wife had. He actually had the nerve to come back and asked me if everything was OK. I Just asked for the check. I will never go back.

Fajitas tasted of nothing. Shrimp chicken and steak was overcooked and dry. Other food was decent, but everyone at table complained about lack of seasoning. First time eating underseasoned food at any Mexican restaurant.

Some friends of ours who are from the area wanted to go get margaritas after they wrapped up at a local harvest festival. they said that they usually go to this place for margaritas and though neither my sister nor I drink, we were excited to have some good guacamole. When we arrived we stood around for a little bit before anyone seated us but it was kind of busy. When the waitress came our friends explained that they would be ordering drinks to drink here and then they would be ordering their food to go. I explained that though we were not ordering food or margaritas, I understood that we were taking a table and would be tipping accordingly. They ordered a pitcher of margaritas and we ordered two bottled sodas and some very expensive guacamole. My friend, who has a fair number of food allergies, was trying to ask the waitress about various items on the menu but the waitress wasn’t really giving her much in the way of answers (she asked about the chicken soup and the answer was “it’s chicken soup”…) our other friend asked about refried beans and was given a very snarky response as though it was insane to suggest they might have a refried beans at this establishment. I understand that they didn’t have these beans but the answer this woman gave my friend was incredibly rude. The guacamole was OK, the chips were not good. It took her friends a while to drink their margarita picture but I assumed that our waitress would be antsy to hustle us out of there. Instead she disappeared, essentially never to be seen again. Someone finally had to get up to find an employee to ask for the check. When the check was brought to our table, there was a gratuity included in the total. Nothing on the receipt or menu suggests that this is a standard thing that they do and when I asked the waitress about it she kind of stared at me blankly and shrugged her shoulders and walked away. Then took us another almost 30 minutes to get somebody to take the check and credit card from the table. I was fully prepared to tip quite generously because I understand that we didn’t actually order food to eat there and only half the table was drinking but the service we received was beyond poor, it was honestly bad and pretty disrespectful and certainly not deserving of the tip that they gave themselves. I will not be returning to this establishment and I’m told that when my friends wrote a negative review on google, the restaurant paid to have that review removed
