Gabriela’s Downtown

When you yearn to sip a strawberry margarita from a pineapple (and who doesn’t?) and dive into molten queso flameado with mushrooms, Gabriela’s Downtown is a happy refuge. Perched on a hilltop with stellar views of the city, its tree-shaded patio is an easy place to settle in for tinga de pollo sopecitos (masa rounds piled with spicy, shredded chicken, red cabbage, and queso fresco), house-made tortilla chips and a trio of kicky salsas, and belt-busting tortas.
