Restaurantji unveils Arden's must-visit Mexican dining spots.
“Stopped here on our drive thru the area for a quick lunch. The tacos Al pastor were good and my husband enjoyed his steak burrito. Cheese quesadilla was good for the little one. Yummy authentic Mexican food if that’s what you’re craving. 2 tacos were very filling. Only complaint is the outside seating area (picnic tables) had a lot of trash and bottle caps laying around… an easy fix to up the atmosphere.“
“I had breakfast Sunday morning at Abuela's Little Kitchen in Arden on Long Shoals Rd. "Abuela" means grandmother in Spanish and it felt like she was in the kitchen cooking! The food was wonderful and the service was exceptionally good! My server came immediately after I was seated and at all the appropriate intervals. She was pleasant and checked to see if everything was okay after I ate a couple of bites of food. The owner came by to see if I enjoyed my breakfast. All of the booths were full and the restaurant was fairly busy. They are open 7am-3pm and serve breakfast and lunch. There are a lot of choices with a Mexican flare, as well as American traditional items, like bacon eggs, grits, pancakes and French toast. I ordered Abuela's Sweet Combo with scrambled eggs, bacon and home potatoes with a choice of pancakes, French toast or crepes. It was delicious! I also had coffee. The owners have also introduced a new concept called Abuela's Cravings down the road at 200 Julian Lane, with Mexican street food, tacos, tortas, burritos and more. Open 11am-8pm. I can't wait to try it!“
“Incredible food! They literally make the tortillas when you order using a giant press and then throw them on the flattop! The meat was super flavorful and tender. Plus my burrito was very well made with an even distribution of meat and beans and cheese, which meant every bite was maximum yum! This burrito rivals ones I've had in Colorado and California. Highly highly recommend!“
“This is a great place for people that want a good, fast meal. They have different specials each day ($1.99 taco Tuesdays/kids eat free on Wednesdays) and gets you out without breaking the bank. The owner, Julio, is warm and inviting, and wants to make sure his guests are happy. That, along with everything else, makes me want to return.Kid-friendliness: Kids eat free on Wednesdays. Easy place to bring kids!“
“Definitely a Mexican restaurant. The price was great and the service was very good as well. Very friendly and helpful. My food was outstanding. My wife said hers was not great, but good. ? Overall a nice atmosphere and dining experience.“
“Absolutely love this place! I love the cauliflower tacos, veggie enchiladas and chile relleno. My partner loves the fish, salmon and shrimp tacos, and the breakfast burritos. The family that runs it are very friendly and everything is made fresh to order.“
