Had my usual dos Pollo enchiladas with rice and refried beans and it was ok, the refried beans were not that hot I sat at the bar no one talked to me I asked the girl for some more tea she didn't know what I was talking about in fact I only drank a little bit tea because it was so strong I couldn't drink it but I drank it anyway there's a big difference from the last time I was there the employees had no desire to wait on me

Oh my god, best latan food I've had in the DMV. Steak quesadilla was delicious, chips are fresh and crispy, and their white queso was to die for. Great vibes and super friendly staff.

Going to be there this coming Friday. So, I figured I'd update my review. Abi's is one of my top 10 spots to go to. I've been coming here for years and they never disappoint. After I visit the Botanica Boricua down the street I make a bee ? line to Abi's. It's a tradition of mine. Botanica then Abi's. How can I just go to the Botanica and not Abi's? I simply can't. See you Friday, Israel. Have my drink ready. LOL!!!!??????????? ???????????
