Always so good! Service was great, food was delicious!

Pat and I enjoy Abuelo’s Restaurant in Abilene. Great service and great food is reason enough to keep us going back.

The food is excellent and the margaritas are top notch, not too sweet. I've tried to eat here a couple other times, but the place was too packed. Now I see why. Very good!

Really great Mexican food! I got the cheese enchiladas and it was melt in your mouth amazing flavors. The appetizers were brought out quick so we could snack after the almost hour wait for a table for 6 people only because they somehow lost our info and we sat there waiting before finally asking how much longer as we had just come from prime time and were starving. Ended up being seated within 5 mins from asking how much longer.Waitress was really attentive and made sure we all had what we needed while also making conversation with the kids. That always makes me happy.Absolutely would return here when I am in the area again.

If you are looking for authentic Mexican food or Tex-Mex this is not the place. I don’t even know where to begin. I don’t enjoy leaving bad reviews but customers should know what they will get. The first photo is what was advertised and what I expected. The following photos is what I received. To begin with, the crispy taco was not crispy and the meat inside was cold, dry, tasted old and as if it had been mass produced and set under a broken heat lamp. Sadly, Taco Bell would have been better. The chile relleno was strangely, breaded instead of being covered in egg batter as it is traditionally. The cheese it was stuffed with was terrible…and it was not a poblano pepper. The beef and cheese enchilada were smothered with a red sauce that tasted close to canned chili. The chicken enchilada was only half stuffed with what tasted like shredded chicken that had been ground and smothered with a tomato based sauce…the refried beans were obviously canned. The rice was dry and lacked flavor. Lastly, the tamale was dry. It was also smothered with the same chili sauce as the beef and cheese enchilada…the sauce did little to moisten the actual tamale. The waitress was kind and personable. The restaurant itself was well decorated. I wish they had spent the same amount off effort into developing authentic recipes as they did decorating. If the Abuelo is no longer with us, the poor man must be turning in his grave. The Grande Platter was a Grande Disappointment and not worth $24.23. The one star is for the awesome waitresses.

A fabulous experience! The drinks and the food was superb. The restaurant was decorated beautifully and the furniture was comfortable. The wait staff was friendly and knowledgeable. One of the best meals we’ve had in Abilene.

I did a Single Lady outing at Abuelo's. The food was delicious and the house margaritas ? did not disappoint. ?

Food and margaritas are great here! Be prepared to spend a little bit because it’s not “cheap”

Highly recommended if you’re in Abilene! Amazing food and great atmosphere. Our server was awesome as well, and cannot say enough about the margaritas! Definitely our favorite in that area!

Food was amazing. Service was great as well.
