“We were in town for an event and Abuelo's was recommended. One of the best meals I have had and customer service was exceptional. The El Jefe margarita is top notch and our waitress, along with the bartender, did an amazing job with recommendations based on what we told them we preferred. Loved our dinner and would make a trip back!“

“I ate here in lakeland and the food was amazing“

“Just left. 1/17/2025. Food is excellent but….service tonight was horrible. Never refilled water glasses, my husband got the burrito and asked for some queso to put over it. The girl brought him shredded cheese! Gave us a container for the guacamole and the wrong lid. In between each request we wondered if our waitress was coming back. Finally brought the bill and once again never came back. We finally took the bill to the front to pay. I love their food but when the service is bad it ruins everything 👎“

“Best Mexican food on north side of lakeland“

“Food was phenomenal and the prices were even better! Would definitely come here again! I got the chicken street tacos, they were so full of flavor! The horchata was too die for! They even have a rice and beans plate for 5$ that was was so big I couldn’t finish it!!!“

“We moved here from Chicago 2 years ago. In Chicago there are many many authentic hole in the wall mexican restaurants. Since moving here, I haven't been able to find good, real Mexican food other than inside our own kitchen as I'm married to a Mexican. This place had our jaws on the floor! It is so so delicious and the 2 people who were working, who I assume to be the owners, were very sweet. 10/10 recommend for REAL Mexican food.“

“First time and will not be the last! Been seeing this place for months and finally decided to give them a try, tacos al pastor and tacos de carnitas were delicious and flavorful.

“Best Mexican food in town (and I’ve been to several places, including large restaurants). Food is made to order and is always seasoned well. The owner is also polite and receptive. Bring cash! At this time that is the only acceptable form of payment.“

“Was the perfect venue for our party! The space inside and out is beautiful and clean. The planner and bar staff are super knowledgeable and friendly. We used their house DJ who has a great personality and played great music. They had a looping video playing on a big drop-down projection screen. They worked with us to set up the space to accommodate a 360 photobooth, 100 gift bags, and our vision for people gathering to eat from our on-site food truck! It was the perfect event!“

“Everything was very delicious and clean, we ordered tripleta, pastrami, steak and chicken sandwiches and they were all delicious, the lemonade and the papaya, nutella/ferrero and pina colada smoothies are something else, beautiful and all delicious, the papaya smoothie reminded me to autumn and Christmas, delicious, really 100% recommended, apart from the fact that the entire service was very fast and the owners are excellent and super friendly, we loved it and we will try the mofongos again.“

“My first time experience at Moe's turned out to be better than I expected. Someone told me about Birria so I tried the Birria Bowl. The meat was so tender and flavorful.
The staff was very friendly and helpful. She tried to explain the ingredients for each items because I don't eat onion. I like the selection of the sauce they have. It's so much fun to eat with the chips.“

“Excelente trato y la comida deliciosa, gracias al señor Fernando por la propaganda“

“I have to say, the service alone is worth going to this location. The food is amazing, but when the team races to open the door for your family, they are something special. Well done!“
