Abuela's Kitchen Reviews
Food was fabulous! If your an Empanada lover this will hands down become your favorite place for them after your first bite. Hint, try the Pork Empanada, the flavors are exquisite! Family owned and operated. Small purposeful menu to maintain perfection! Highly passionate Chefs as you will tell with every bite. This place is authentic so don't go thinking it's been "Americanized" like most ethnic restaurants because it's not. It's the real deal. Great atmosphere. Great people....read full review

This Venezuelan-inspired eatery offers a unique dining experience with a comfortable and vibrant atmosphere. The menu features a range of delicious options, including the popular cachapas with pork, tacos, and Black Beef, a simple yet flavorful dish served with mashed potatoes and a rich sauce. The restaurant also provides wonderful vegetarian options and many gluten-free choices, making it suitable for those with dietary restrictions. While prices may be slightly higher than at large chain restaurants, the quality and freshness of the food make it worth the extra cost.
