The food is good but very greasy. I came here with two friends who ordered burritos and I myself ordered a carne asada quesadilla. Both foods were very greasy, got oil drops on our clothes and made our hands greasy. However, I will say the food tasted very good and I gladly finished my side of fries. Also, you get a really big serving for what you pay which if very worth it. Overall, 8.9/10 recommend, only watch out for grease

This was definitely not a top mexican food place. The beans have an awkward taste and the rice is very bland. The 1 tortilla I got with my plate was overly large and burnt. Chips and queso. Chips are good but no salt. Queso is like water.

Every single time I order drive-thru they get my order wrong. I got a #23 and a #25 both with Pepsi upsized to large, and 2x chips with queso. Didn't get the drinks and only got one order of chips & cheese. Tired of the poor service. You guys lost this customer.

Disappointed tastes like frozen microwave food. A frozen burrito from faraway would taste better. No flavor. Skip this place and go to the Mexican food truck that has better taste.

Food was excellent, but the service was bad. I ordered 2 steak burritos and received chicken in both. I took it back up and said as such, and the server made a face and said "are you sure? You said chicken." But he told the cook to remake them anyway. When I thanked him, he said nothing and turned his back on me. He just had a sour attitude that ruined the whole experience and I will not be back to this location.

Went to Abelardos for lunch, ordered the chicken tacos. They were delicious, the portion was big and the service was great. The restaurant was super clean and the cashier was very polite and friendly.

I used to live in NM and California this place is identical. I feel like I returned to NM or California every time I visit here too.Vegetarian options: They are always more than happy to help out with food orders. More than happy to make sure you are extremely happy with their food as well as their place too. A wonderful restaurant to visit.Dietary restrictions: Very accommodating of all people who needs dietary adjustments to their food orders.Kid-friendliness: Excellent. Highchairs are available as well as booster seats for the booths as well too.Wheelchair accessibility: Absolutely accessible for all of the mobility aids. They are more than happy to assist with the doors too as long as they are not busy with other customers orders as well too. Wonderful place to eat and dine out at. Wonderful people.

Listen. I've been coming to Abelardos since I was in college back in 2014. I love it. However, spending almost 30 dollars on two people is insane. I love supporting businesses that I like, but it's not gourmet food. It's drive through or pickup. I know inflation is a lot right now but 30 dollars is too much. Please lower your prices.
