Gabinete means kitchen cabinet in Mexico?

Question

Gabinete means kitchen cabinet in Mexico?

Answer 1

It means cabinet. I'm in Texas and the cabinet where we keep all our towels and supplies locked up in the storeroom is called a gabinete. I'm not sure what your referring to when you say "kitchen cabinet" because I have never heard of anyone having a cabinet in thier kitchen. Do you mean the pantry or cupboard?

Edit: It appears that shelving in the kitchen is referred to as a cabinet. So it seems to be "gabinete de cocina". Here's a link to confirm my hypothesis.

Hi I am from México and here "gabinete" means a small forniturn, were you can store anything in. Does not matter if you use it in a kitchen, Store, Bath room and more.
