Our story

The woman behind the name

Gabriela and Sara

Gabriela's was created as a tribute to the woman who inspired it all. Maria Gabriela Huerta Humpal, Sara's mother.

Every detail of the restaurant, from the design to the feather incorporated into our logo, was intentionally created to honor Gabriela's elegance, warmth, and vibrant spirit.

At only 25 years old, Sara combined her passions for hospitality, travel, design, and exceptional cuisine to create a restaurant centered around unforgettable experiences.

Growing up in a family of entrepreneurs, she developed a deep appreciation for businesses built around serving people.

Every trip, every restaurant, every café, and every culture she has experienced continues to inspire the food, hospitality, and atmosphere found throughout Gabriela's today.

In her words

A note from Sara

Originally from Monterrey, Mexico, my mother, Maria Gabriela Huerta Humpal, introduced me to the incredible Latin flavors and traditions that continue to inspire our cuisine today.

She dreamed of opening a restaurant or coffee shop one day, and Gabriela's is my way of honoring that dream while celebrating her warmth, beauty, infectious energy, and love for bringing people together.

Anyone who knew my mom would tell you she was the life of every gathering and danced like nobody was watching.

She sparked my love for food, travel, and adventure, inspiring a lifelong passion for discovering cultures through their cuisine.

Every destination reminds me that food has an incredible ability to connect people, preserve culture, and create unforgettable memories.

My greatest joy has always been sharing meals surrounded by family and friends where conversation, laughter, and community come naturally.

That is exactly what I hope you'll find at Gabriela's: a place where every guest feels welcomed, every meal becomes a memory, and every visit leaves you excited to return.
