We love this place. Over the past couple of years, it has become our favorite Mexican Restaurant. The food is always delicious and piping hot. We especially like that seniors can order from the lunch menu all day long.

My husband enjoyed his food. Myself and daughters left us a little disappointed. The recipe and presentation was there but they lacked the love of flavor. The margaritas were amazing!! (try the watermelon) Be very cautious when touching the plates. As a previous server, I know when plates come out they are hot. However, mine left a small blister just trying to move my plate around to cut my food. This meant it was sitting under the heat lamp or in the warming oven too long. :(...

Great restaurant but seating is now limited to 8 people in a party. Any more guests and you have to sit at different tables. We used to come with our entire family and enjoy birthdays, father's day, etc. Now we have to go to another restaurant for family gathering. We are disappointed in Abuelo's change in seating.
