Food was awful. Small portions for what was to be fajitas for 2. Got a taco each! $52!!! Mostly veggies. Our waitress had the ugliest attitude. Abuelo wld be disappointed. Do not recommend!

My husband and I like going to different restaurants for lunch, since our warehouse is off Cooper. We have tried so many and for my husband to give a personal compliment, is saying this is one of the best places by far. The food and services was really good.

Rere was an exceptional server. Food was delivered piping hot. She checked on us a number of times. She is definitely an asset for Abuelos. Also, the Tilapia Veracruz was exceptional. A wonderful place to dine.

This was my 1st time at this restaurant 4/21/24 about 2 pm, the Arlington, TX location, and will definitely be back. I don't really know where to start. The ambiance was really nice. All of the staff were amazingly polite. Our servers RiRi, really made the day for us. She was very nice and engaging. She really took care of us. We had a party of 10 and she was just amazing. Without her, this would have been an average outing, but she definitely enhanced the experience. The food was great! When you go, you have to get the Grande Platter. We all got something different and there were no complaints from anyone at our table. You get a lot of food for the price. We all left full with to-go plates. Thank you Abuelo's and we will definitely be back.

ridiculously mediocre food. bar service was lacking in attention & professionalism by our server (other employee behind bar was great, though). nice fountains but awkward path through dining room to restroom made big one more of an obstacle for this disabled old lady. we needed food pronto but decided early in we wouldn't be back. fajita beef was very tender & flavorful. bad beans. bland rice. only 3 tortillas and nearly no cheese. shrimp overcooked. onions poorly sliced and wayyyy undercooked. 4 pieces of red pepper we're not enough for two fajitas. good salsas. had combo fajitas... hubby had chicken salad.Wheelchair accessibility: not very accessible restroom and doors were impossible for me to open without assistance.
It took me 5 minutes to get to this review but yes, there is no reception, i ordered nachos de fajita and it felt like i was just eating cheese, food was filling, but two kilos of cheese for some nachos is crazy, might as well name them nachos de cheese, quesadilla nachos.
I was very disappointed with the change of their menu. So many great dishes were eliminated. The quality of food has gone down as well.

What a huge disappointment! We used to love Abuelo's and have eaten here many times over the years. Tonight we had one batch of chips that was not cooked enough and two other batches that were way overcooked, just crumbled and were extremely greasy. The charro beans that are usually very flavorful were bland. My husband had a piece of stiff metal wire, like from a wire brush, in his salad. My daughter's expensive pork medallions were overcooked, dry, and tasteless. The manager did comp some of our food and offered my husband a different entree at no cost. All in all, not sure we will be eating at this location again.

This is one of my favorite sit-down Mexican restaurants! The atmosphere is calm and relaxing, the food, portion sizes, and service is awesome! They have maintained a wonderful dining experience bucking the trend of many places to downscale. You feel like you've been out to dinner after dining there and it's anything but fast food! Hearty, satisfying, a great dining experience!
