Abuelo's Mexican Restaurant offers attentive and exceptional service, even on busy days like Father's Day. The food is plentiful and good, with servers going above and beyond to ensure a pleasant dining experience. Customers often praise the large portions, delicious chips and salsa with tomatillo sauce and other salsas, and a variety of tasty dishes such as the Enchilada Platter (The Grande), chicken enchiladas, and tacos, accompanied by sides like refried beans, Spanish rice, and their famous potato-cheese (papas). The restaurant also features a great drinks menu, including signature margaritas, sangrias, and frozen options that are perfectly balanced and refreshing. The atmosphere is warm and lively, with vibrant decor inspired by Spanish-Mexican colonial architecture, creating a welcoming environment. The restaurant is clean, including the bathrooms, and parking is easy and accessible. The service is generally attentive, friendly, and helpful, with staff making thoughtful recommendations. However, some guests have noted that food preparation can sometimes fall short of safety standards, and there was a mention of a bartender using margarita mix for Micheladas instead of the traditional ingredients. Despite this, overall experiences have been spectacular, making Abuelo's a recommended spot for anyone seeking good Mexican cuisine.
