“ It was a great experience. Very nice atmosphere. Very good food and large portions. Plenty of parking. ”
“ My partner and I decided to have an early dinner on Friday night to avoid the dinner rush. Brenton, our server, was super kind and attentive. We really enjoyed the free chips and the three types of salsa (spicy, mild, and citrus lime green). Both the Laredo entree and the chicken fajita salad were fantastic. The atmosphere was also really cozy, making it a great dining experience. ”

This is definitely first class operation. ”
“ Please read the entirety of this comment. Here is my SCORE: 1. Atmosphere: 5/5 2. Service: 5/5 3. Flavor: 5/5 4. Cost: 5/5 Total Score: 5/5 This restaurant is a MUST visit for anyone looking to enjoy excellent Mexican cuisine. The chips and salsa was delicious and they come with tomatillo sauce and other two salsa sauces. We ordered the Enchilada Platter (The Grande), the chicken enchiladas, and the tacos, along with sides like refried beans, Spanish rice, and their famous (papas) potatoe-cheese. We also had their signature margaritas, sangrias, and frozen margaritas and frozen sangrias... which were perfectly balanced and refreshing. The service was exceptional! Our server was attentive (his names was Jackson), knowledgeable, and made thoughtful recommendations for us. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, with vibrant decor that made the space feel lively but not overwhelming. The Spanish-Mexican colonial architecture and design are both stunning and unique. The restaurant was clean, including the bathrooms, and the layout allowed for a comfortable dining experience. Parking was easy and accessible, which is always a plus. As for the cost, it was definitely worth every dollar. Given the quality of the food and service, we found this to be very reasonable. Overall, Abuelo’s exceeded our expectations, and we will definitely be back. Wishing nothing but success to this fantastic restaurant! ”
“ This place has amazing food and drinks, but what really made the experience perfect was our server, Destiny! She had so much personality and was so personable. My family of 6 was there and Destiny made eating here together so memorable and fun! She truly is the best server I have ever had in my life, and I’m sure everyone in my family can say the same. We love you Destiny and thank you for such a great night! ”
“ I first want to say that this was our first time visiting this establishment. We initially stopped in for a couple of drinks, but my wife decided she wanted to try the tuna bowl, which she enjoyed. (I would have gave the food 5-stars, but she said she felt for the price, it was a little light on tuna) We each had a margarita and the churro martini. Those 5 margaritas are top tier! I don’t write a ton of reviews, but when I do, I really like doing them when either the food or service goes way above and beyond our expectations. Our servers name was Casey. She is the main reason why I’m writing this review. She definitely aimed to please, and that she did, with a great attitude and smile. We will definitely be back sooner than later for more drinks, food, and hoping Casey is working that day! ”
