I used to live around the corner and grew up going here when I was a kid. My parents used to go here before I was born actually, they were one of their first customers. So this is like a childhood staple. I didn't realize how much their prices have gone up. I went to get my mom food, I got her 4 tacos de carne asada and 1 large orange juice and it came out to $31! I understand we can't control the tariffs and small businesses are being impacted, i completely understand. Unfortunately, the tacos were not very good at all. My mom didn't even finish her food and I also tasted it, definitely not the same. I have a soft sport for Abuelos because of how long my family and I have been going , but I am debating whether or not I will go back. I might give it one more chance and order something else. But, there are lots of other taquerias that have decent prices and food quality is much better.

It is a small place but has a large menu. The place is good for catching up with friends and spending some time. Since the food is good we can have a good experience. Most of the dishes are shown as pictures on the wall for better understanding and eradicating the language barrier. It looks like the place is very popular online as I saw multiple delivery agents picking up the orders.

Pretty good. Food was kinda greasy but I’d go back
Amazing food. Tried the super soft tacos with chicken, and a veggie burrito bowl. Salsa bar had excellent salsa, and the chips are fresh. Have to come back

Delicious Mexican Taqueria in the heart of Willow Glen. Whether you’re looking for a simple taco or a big plate of food like the asada fries, this little hole in the wall is the spot to go! The salsas are amazing with lots of variety both in flavor and spice, and there are even free chips! I’ve been coming here for years and my personal favorite is the pastor it’s really hard to beat. Looking at $10-20 per person but its worth every penny.
Kid-friendliness: Lots of options for kids including French fries!
