My number one suggestion for quick, drive thru authentic Mexican food. It gets bonus points for being open late, although they do sometimes run out of certain items. Some of the food can be a little greasy but honestly that is not a huge issue because if you are eating here, you're not looking for the healthiest option. The street tacos are GREAT portions and I have not had anything I did not like. I am anxious to try their menudo on the weekends. I have not eaten inside but it is a go to spot for to go Mexican food and you are not going to find much more authentic than that from a drive thru around here. read more

I can't speak to the dine-in experience, but I ordered a birria burrito off of DoorDash last night and I don't know if it was because it was 9pm, or if it was truly the burrito but it was amazing. I'm honestly still thinking about it. The bad reviews here seem to be a lot about the dine-in experience, so I'll probably stick to delivery or drive thru burritos and enjoy the lowbrow deliciousness that they are. read more

Abelardos is great fast food Mexican! It is so nice to have something that is open late and has decent portions! It's a bit more pricy for fast food but i feel like the flavor and portions are worth it. The salsas are smaller sized so i recommend if you request them for your food, you request a few. The guacamole is also extremely creamy and more of a cilantro+avocado crema than a traditional guac. read more

Food is fire but their bathroom stink so bad. It's like their sewer is seeping thru the floor. If you must sit down and eat, don't sit near the bathroom. They have plenty of seating near the front where you order food. I like their portion and the burrito size. Very good. Probably just go through the drive through next time. read more

This place is like fast Mexican food but it's still so good. We've gone through the drive through and within 5 minutes we have Burria platter and Tortas in our hungry hands. Service is quick and efficient! Short on time go there! Time to sit down - try that too! read more

My opening day dine-in lunch experience was good, with room for improvement. The #3 combo ($11.99) included two enchiladas, rice and beans. It was ready just seven minutes after I ordered at the counter, where the staff were helpful, but the payment process was not yet working properly. I liked the generous portions, the shredded, moist, white, marinated chicken and the above average beans and rice. The dining area was clean, spacious and new with Mexican background music and a mix of tables and booths. I also noticed a salsa bar with four unlabeled salsas, and no toppings inside and a drive-thru lane outside. The menu prices were good for dinner, but I wish they offered lunch specials. They do offer breakfast all day and a taco Tuesday special. read more

I've been to a different Abelardo's location previously and was excited that this location is now open and it's a lot closer to me. They have a drive thru, which I utilized so I have a feeling this will become a spot I regularly hit up. I've only tried the tacos but I plan to try other things in future visits. They do have a taco Tuesday deal where you get 5 tacos for $5.99-which is a helluve a deal imho. I hit up the taco Tuesday special at this location and ordered ground beef hard shell tacos. They also have chicken, soft shell, and crispy shell which is like a deep fried version. I've had the chicken at a different location in the past and it's really good. White meat but a bit bland. My shell preference is the crispy. The shells are pretty thick but I like that because they don't get soggy and fall apart. At the same time the hard shells are not greasy which is awesome. The deep fried are a bit more greasy so that's why I prefer the hard shells. I also tried the queso and it's not my favorite. It's pretty thin and has a very strong vinegar taste. I probably wouldn't get that again but there's so many other things to try. read more

Service was freaky fast. Food was average, my wife and I ordered the Birria Tacos plate, Carne Asada plate, food was not terrible but not mindblowing either. Horchata and Jamaica were excellent. White Queso dip is amazing. Craving comfort food or a trendy dish, this is the place to go. read more

I keep going back because of the inconsistency. It'll be good one day and then not the next two times but then I'll ignore my instincts and go back just for it to be horrible again. What I don't understand is how no one knows the ingredients of a dang carne asada burrito. It says it comes with guac yet it never has it inside and when I ask them to put it inside, they say it comes with it. I also don't get how no one knows how to wrap a burrito. It's not difficult. They never drain the pico so the burritos get really soggy but if you ask for no pico, it's like they leave half the ingredients out. Done with this place. I kept giving it chance after chance but it's not worth being disappointed 9 times out of ten. read more

I had steak tacos and my husband had a spicy burrito. My tacos were very bland. Husband's food was spicy as promised. I really had a hard time overlooking the lack of cleanliness. The floor was very bad. Maybe there had been a large group with mud on their shoes in earlier that same day. Don't know. But it made it difficult for me to enjoy my meal. I gave this more stars than my words reflect because maybe it was the timing of our visit. read more

Abelardo’s Mexican Fresh - Beef tacos - Mexican Near Me - Overland Park, Kansas

No idea why this place is popular. Probably since it's local. Restaurant was in disarray. Horrible service. You might as well make your own food. Dry. Overpriced. Many other mexican places to eat. read more

Food's always amazing, BUT Peyton definitely has the customer service aspect down! 10/10 come to this place.

This is a GREAT place for breakfast burritos! All were very delicious & quite large. All were worth the money. I'd return to this place in a heartbeat. HIGHLY recommended! read more

We've went here about 15-20 times. I work by one, but feel like this one is better. I usually order the beef taco, shrimp taco, and or beef nachos. My boyfriend orders a variety of things, Such as breakfast burrito, burrito and other items. I like their green salsa verde and guacamole salsa. I sometimes buy tacos or nachos at 7am. read more

It reminded me of living in Texas. Great taste and value. We will return. Love the salsas too

Can't recommend it. The food is ok but drive through service very slow. Twice now I've pulled up to the drive through window to watch my food sit on the counter for at least 5 minutes getting cold before they would greet me to take my payment and hand off the food. read more

Reminds me of CA Mexican drive thrus., good prices, great tortillas, salsa bar with pickled veggies. Consistent and open late. Even liked their queso, seemed homemade. read more

Real good service and employee Peyton is a hard worker and very polite. I would recommend to anyone who is looking for good service and good food to try this location in Shawnee Kansas read more

If that was an enchilada, I am shocked. The tortilla lay open and soggy. The sauce tasted like watered down ketchup and the chicken was still raw in parts. I can make a better enchilada and I am not a great cook! Service was iffy. I will not go back. read more

Large portion sizes for the price. Depending on what you get the price is under $15. Their Chimichanga is my absolute favorite.

After the last debacle things are back on track, the food was excellent, the service was back to top notch and they no longer have kids hanging food thru the drive thru. It is back to being our go to place for authentic Mexican food. We always get the 2 carne asada combo, the chimichanga or the cowboy fries. All of these are hearty, full of flavor and a good value. read more

The avocado was $2 extra for a few pieces, and those few pieces were rotten. It was right on top, they saw it and still chose to serve it.

We were excited to try this & were quite disappointed. From a long time to order to a long wait between meal deliveries to bland, poor tasting food. Spend your money elsewhere. read more

Easily the best burritos in town ... try the carne asada, the carnitas, or any of the breakfast burritos (all day!) ... you won't be disappointed. As a CA native who grew up with all kinds of taco-shops around, this place is a good as you can get for fast Mexican street food. I'll be coming back, often! read more

I really wanted to love this place but it fell short. The queso is just terrible. Ordered Guacamole but never received that. My husband got the Green Chili burrito and it was so spicy he could hardly eat it. I ordered some deep fried tacos and the shell was so hard I needed a hammer. Will give it a try again but not to impressed so far. The lady taking orders from the drive thru was very nice and trying to make sure she put the order in right read more

didn't give any sauce ???. took a while bad customer service. greedy on portions please fix this

Checked Abelardo's out Friday night when on my own for dinner. Restaurant has taken over the old Steak And Shake at Metcalf and SM Parkway. Interior including bathrooms was clean at the time of my visit and the place was just about half full of people dining in. Large menu board (which is just around the corner from the ordering station so get your order down!). I tried three different tacos at $4 each (fish, carne asada and fried ground beef); all were tasty and as advertised but nothing spectacular. Will try this location again but I didn't see anything that stood out. read more

Given that Abelardo's recently opened, I decided to pay a visit and give it a try. The food was delicious, and I enjoyed the ambiance. I ordered the carne asada fries burrito, and it was honestly amazing. I will definitely return to explore the other options they offer. read more

Some of the best burritos in Kansas City hands down! A big menu to pick from. My favorite is the spicy diablo burrito.

Was excited to try a new Mexican restaurant, but was very disappointed. The food was bland, the service was horrible, and the inside was not clean. I won't be going back. read more
