“ Good food , good server , I loved the decor but the music was horrible all you could hear was garble or something But you could not hear the music over the croud so it was annoying and distracting from enjoying our conversations. ”
“ The food is real Mexican food fresh the service was amazing and a quiet ambience The enchiladas was the best ”
“ Service was a little slow at first...to the point we were about to leave, but the hostess who had sat us took note and corrected the situation. After that, the team was spot on and cares for every detail going forward. We enjoyed every dish we had while sitting on the patio on a beautiful fall evening. I eat their food often, almost always ordered for delivery, and never been disappointed. I am always happy on the occasion to eat in house. Tonight was no different. ”
“ We all know that Abuelos is a wonderful restaurant. The reviews are true...go and eat there. I am here to review one appetizer. I have found that usually an appetizer is enough for me to eat, so that's where I start. Tonight I had the extreme good sense to order the Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Shrimp. $12.99 When you order it, you will receive 3 large cooked shrimp sitting in a cooked green chili. The whole thing is covered in this bacony, smoky, cheesy, incredibly seasoned perfection. Seriously. It is incredible. You will not be disappointed. Between that and the very generous bowl of chips and sauces, it is a meal. ”
“ I really do love coming here their red sauce is very good I do also like the green which is sweet and the other one's a little bit hotter chips are amazing freshly made. It's one of the first times that I've changed it up I got the fajitas chimichanga it was very good. I normally get the steak fajitas which are absolutely fabulous more than enough for two meals sometimes even three depending on how much chips and salsa I eat.... Our server was amazing she was spot on we didn't even have to ask to have our drinks refilled. The chairs are very comfortable the whole place is comfortable really. It's very pretty has wall murals and a wishing fountain. I always thought abuelo's meant grandmother but it actually means grandfather. ”
“ Decided to check this place out and I am so glad we did! Last time I ate at an Abuelo's was in Kissimmee like 10 years ago and I hated it! Food was blah, pricey and wasn't a fan of the salsa. Sad to say it's still pricey. But this location KILLED IT! Salsa was fresh, abundant and loved that there were 3 kinds! The chips were light and crispy and I couldn't stop eating them. Husband got a chicken dish he wasn't the biggest fan of (he didn't realize it was chicken thighs), and I got fajita tacos! I can't stop thinking about how big, juicy and delicious they were! Can't wait to go back next time and have drinks! Bonus they have a patio that allows dogs! If they had specials often we would def be here all the time. ”
“ This place is truly as good as it gets for Mexican fare. Stellar service was provided last evening by Selina. ( Spelling?) She did a great job of taking care of us. She was courteous and helpful answering all of our questions. We both enjoyed our meals but the three different salsas served with the complimentary chips were amazing . Each presenting their unique flavors. We can only wish that we had one of these restaurants in our area. We will continue to visit this location as well as others wherever they present themselves... ”
“ We came by to meet up with family to visit. We had plenty of space and our waitress was attentive. We had chips with three types of salsa a queso. We ordered Taco salad with chicken and fajitas with steak and shrimp. The salad was very good and the fajitas were also very good with tender steak. We were not rushed and had plenty of time to visit. A good place for a group of people and smaller areas also for couples. ”
