Ah, what can I say about Carlos and Gabby's?
First of all, I always say that this is like the kosher version of Chili's. Not exactly Mexican, not exactly American, but as mentioned below, this place is a glatt kosher Mecca (or Yerushalayim, if you will) of American casual divey dining, along the lines of party food. All they need to do is start making tacky, cheesy margaritas and other frozen drinks in obscenely-sized glasses to sweeten the deal.
As far as the food, they offer several things to the kosher consumer that are rather proprietary and amazingly unique to the establishment; where else can you get kosher Jalapeno poppers stuffed with tofutti parve cream cheese, or a "taco" filled with decidedly non-Mexican contents (I never know what to make of the "chabibi" taco filled with tahini, Israeli pickles, and shawarma meat, but this crazy amalgam somehow works perfectly). The Kansas City steak soup, not Mexican or Tex-Mex, is nonetheless pretty good, as are the "southwest eggrolls." Kind of like a taquito, only better. My favorite thing on the menu is the rib platter; these ribs are fall apart tender, melt in the mouth, and accompanied by fries, cole slaw, and a lovely medley of sauteed vegetables, it's a rather reasonably priced plate, at around $15.
I am also very fond of another unique menu item, The Godfather hero, a delicious glatt kosher Italian hero you cannot find anywhere else. The dressing and peppers on the sandwich make it yummy and a delicious find.
After writing this review, I'm hungry and wishing for ribs, an Italian hero, and some crispy chabibis.
I gotta say that the buffalo chicken fingers were Incredible! I think they were deep fried with corn flakes to make it extra crispy! Whatever there doing,it works!And they had 3 amazing dipping sauces for it too! Cant wait to come back to try everything else.
I don't usually eat kosher because meat and cheese is my life but this place isn't bad. The organization I use to work for had their staff dinners here and I didn't mind coming at all. The burgers are good and so are the chicken tenders. The avacado ranch is crazy good.
best spot in the immediate area to just pig out on tons and tons of American-style Mexican food. I think the giant sombrero on the restaurant's facade says it all: don't go looking for authentic stuff, but if you want to fill up on guac and burritos at your level of spicy (things come mild, and there's a counter full of sauce you can use to spice things up, plus free water to cool things down a bit)
I recommend getting your meal in a tortilla bowl. go nuts.
