Gabriela's Mexican Grill Restaurant Family-run restaurant aims to please with welcoming atmosphere, fresh food. All of the ingredients we use here at Gabriela's Mexican Grill are local. We stock our restaurant kitchen in much the same way that we stock our home kitchen, with daily deliveries of fresh ingredients that we select ourselves.

The recipes served at Gabriela's have been modified throughout the years and originate from the roots of Mexico City, said Rene Gonzalez. 

Gabriela Gonzalez opened her first location in Prairie Grove in 2003. After several years of customers' requests for a restaurant closer to Fayetteville, she opened a second location in Farmington. "We first opened a location a few miles from here, but when she saw this location she knew this was it," Rene Gonzalez said, referring to the current Gabriela's at 330 E. Main Street in Farmington. The location provided the land for a new building to be built less than 2 miles from Interstate 540. The new building has a 75x75 dining room with soaring ceilings and wide-arch transitions that create separate dining sections.

"It's actually a dream come true for us, because we started in a small location and got to move closer." Rene Gonzalez said. The Farmington location offers an additional feature that is not provided at the original Prairie Grove location: alcohol service. The full-service restaurant has waitstaff that delivers alcoholic beverages to seated guests. The drink menu includes domestic and Mexican beer, wine, margaritas and sangria.

The back wall of the restaurant is a parody of the Diego Rivera's mural "Sueño de una Tarde Dominical en la Alameda Central, a.k.a. Dream of a Sunday Afternoon in Central Park." The depiction of the mural at Gabriela's was hand-painted directly onto the wall by a friend of the Gonzalez family. "It's actually a dream come true for us, because we started in a small location and got to move closer in. It was always my mom's dream to have her own place," Rene Gonzalez said.

The recipes served at Gabriela's have been modified throughout the years and originate from the roots of Mexico City, said Rene Gonzalez. The menu includes tortilla soup, a sampler platter, tostadas Monterrey, vegetarian fajitas and spinach enchiladas, fajitas, chimichangas, tacos and burritos. There are a total of 21 specialty priced items including Chile Verde or Colorado, shrimp quesadilla, flautas, fajitas, tacos, chimichanga, burritos and enchiladas.

Everything is prepared fresh daily -- the soups, salsa, chips and guacamole. Nothing is from the day before, Rene Gonzalez said. "We prepare your food with the finest ingredients to provide you with the best meals around," said Gabriela Gonzalez.
