"When we arrived in the area, we surveyed our dining options. I was committed to Mexican cuisine, while many in the group were undecided. Initially, it was just me and one friend, but as we left the hotel, we encountered more people we knew, and our group grew. We took a short walk to the restaurant, and they quickly accommodated our expanding party by pushing a few tables together. I had a bit of trouble getting into my seat, as it was pushed against the wall, with a little ledge making it tricky. However, once I was seated, I was ready to dive in. Service was occasionally slow, but I think the server was just giving us time to look at the menu. Our drink orders took a while to arrive, but when they did, we were also given chips and salsa. Honestly, if a meal could consist of just chips and salsa, I would have been happy with that, but I hadn’t eaten all day and needed something more substantial. I decided on the "Four Enchiladas" listed on the menu as number 34. It seemed like it could be the title of a song. The dish included beef, cheese and onion, chicken, and beans—your typical fillings. It may have looked a bit messy on the plate, but it tasted fantastic. I also ordered rice and beans on the side. The enchiladas were incredible; one by one, they disappeared from my plate, and their sloppiness actually added to my enjoyment. I love mixing things up on my Mexican plates, sort of creating my own taco salad. With the addition of lettuce and sour cream, it made the dish even better. Each bite was satisfying, and I found myself wanting more, despite the constant complaints from the other members of our party. I thought about suggesting they go somewhere else, but I was too busy savoring my meal. After not eating all day, I was finally content and no longer "hangry." I felt much better able to focus on what I needed to do."

"If you are looking for authentic Mexican food or Tex-Mex this is not the place. I don?t even know where to begin. I don?t enjoy leaving bad reviews but customers should know what they will get. The first photo is what was advertised and what I expected. The following photos is what I received. To begin with, the crispy taco was not crispy and the meat inside was cold, dry, tasted old and as if it had been mass produced and set under a broken heat lamp. Sadly, Taco Bell would have been better. The chile relleno was strangely, breaded instead of being covered in egg batter as it is traditionally. The cheese it was stuffed with was terrible?and it was not a poblano pepper. The beef and cheese enchilada were smothered with a red sauce that tasted close to canned chili. The chicken enchilada was only half stuffed with what tasted like shredded chicken that had been ground and smothered with a tomato based sauce?the refried beans were obviously canned. The rice was dry and lacked flavor. Lastly, the tamale was dry. It was also smothered with the same chili sauce as the beef and cheese enchilada?the sauce did little to moisten the actual tamale. The waitress was kind and personable. The restaurant itself was well decorated. I wish they had spent the same amount off effort into developing authentic recipes as they did decorating. If the Abuelo is no longer with us, the poor man must be turning in his grave. The Grande Platter was a Grande Disappointment and not worth $24.23. The one star is for the awesome waitresses."

"While on vacation I took my husband here for his birthday. His first visit to any Abuelo’s and I had not eaten at an Abuelo’s in quite some time. Neither of us were disappointed at all.Even though we were there on a weeknight I made reservations anyway. So glad we did. There were quite a few people waiting for tables when we arrived but we were seated immediately.Once seated, our server, Mike, was at our table in no time at all. He was fantastic! Very attentive, very personable. We thoroughly enjoyed being seated at his table.We had taken the opportunity to look at the menu ahead of time and knew what we wanted at least from the bar. We ordered one El Jefe Margarita to share. It was a lot! But…totally delicious and refreshing.We also ordered the guacamole as an appetizer and the Fajita Trio for our meal. Oh. My. Goodness. We had more food than we knew what to do with and it was all so very tasty. The beef and chicken were very tender and moist. The Yucatán barbecue shrimp had a fantastic flavor.Since it was my sweetie’s birthday we got the Dulce de Leche cheesecake to take home since we were totally stuffed from our fabulous meal.It was a great evening all around. I’m so pleased we chose Abuelo’s for a special birthday dinner. Thank you Abuelo’s, you’re the best! We’re on the hunt for other locations on our travels.
