Abuelo's Mexican Restaurant Reviews
I've been coming here since it was built. I moved away from the area and came back for the first time in several years. The food was good. The mojitos are still super awesome. Both of our orders were wrong, but close enough to go ahead and eat because we didn't want to wait longer. The server was weird. She would walk away from us mid sentence (our mid sentence, not hers). But she kept the drinks refilled. So overall, it was ok.
Abuelo's has some of the best Tex-Mex in America, and service and atmosphere to match. Your table begins with thin, crispy chips (ask for salt) and three grades of salsa. You can and should order a shareable appetizer, as the entrees take an appropriate while to emerge from the kitchen.
Awesome green salsa! Love the papas and jalapeno stuffed bacon wrapped shrimp! The only reason for 4 starts was the waitress wasn't the best. Sad part is I heard her mention she had been there for years. Even after asking for a refill and her coming to the table a couple more times, I still didn't get it. My drink being empty is a huge pet peeve of mine.
