Small cafe with good food. Black beans and yellow rice we're delicious with the Cuban salad. The Cuban sandwich was dry. Friendly staff and good service. read more

This place is a gem. The portions are large and the food is very good. I recommend the roast pork with chimi, fried yucca, fried yellow plantains, and congri with is a mix of rice and beans cooked together. I have had palomilla steak which came topped with a nice pile of grilled onions. The steak was a bit fibrous for my taste but the flavor was good. I have also had the Cuban sandwich which was good but I can't say it's the 'best' I have ever had. The old faithful is the roast pork. It's tender and delicious every time. read more

What an amazing little place! We found it on Yelp while visiting family. We came here for lunch, and everything we had was delicious. We both had the Ropa with green and sweet plantains, boiled yucca, and black beans. Wonderful. The owner is very nice and you can tell she cares a lot about her restaurant. I hope we can come back before our trip is over! Definitely worth a try! read more

Love it. My husband and I eat here for lunch all the time. Fast and friendly service. Love the plantains. Definitely recommend it.

Great Cuban food! This is a family ran business which serves great Cuban food!

The milanesa (meat) was fantastic. The cheese provoleta excellent. Planning to come back many times, even though is bit far for us. Prices also very good. read more

It is a very clean restaurant with delightful owner's. The food is not authentic, but has an enjoyable American texture. The coladas are made with American beans not cuban or columbian. The coffee is as watered down as traditional American coffee is. All the sides we had (yellow rice, black rice, and yucca) can be considered authentic Cuban. Roasted pork was heavily greased and not slow cooked the way it is designed to be. Palomia steak with fried eggs was not skirted it was cut thick to appeal to the traditional American taste palette it needed to entertain. I would still recommend this restaurant to people who have never been to Cuba, since I love Media Noches and it is hard to screw those up. My companion I dined there with was born and raised in Cuba and had nothing nice to say about the food. read more

Cuban sandwich, not so appealing. Rice and black beans, amazing!

Absolutely the best Cuban sandwich I've ever had. Fresh delicious bread, meats were great, great prices, very friendly owners. A MUST try!!

Small Hidden Gem in Palmetto. Excellent Food and Service, one of the Best Cuban Food. The appetizers were Homemade Croquetas, Yuca Frita and a Tamal, for lunch we had the Parrilla for 2, Chorizo-Chicken-Pork-Beef with Congri and Tostones. THIS IS THE BEST !!! read more

Excellent cubans sandwiches. Fresh and fast. Convenient location and many other options. I have been here three times. Friendly people. Take out and dine in . read more

Absolutely wonderful! Never disappoints! My husband and I go for lunch a couple times a month. The ropa vieja and yucca fries are fabulous. Definitely a hidden gem! read more

Sadly we were a bit disappointed, but not enough to not give Abuelas a 2nd chance, No Ropa Vieja on the menu the day we dined, but I love Cuban sandwiches so no worries...........Except on this day, the sandwich was very dry & not at all the quality I expected based on Yelp reviews. Frankly nothing stood out as wow, but given the other reviews, for sure we will be back & hopefully up our rating read more

We wanted some grub after shopping at Ellenton, and we found this place about 15 minutes away. Totally worth the drive. Amazing food! Get some for take-out or dine-in. Wish we had Cuban food like this in Michigan! read more

THIS PLACE IS DELICIOUS! We both wished we had more room in our bellies. Everything is home made. Definitely a little gem hidden in palmetto. The only negatives are that Abuela is a little scary, and he Cuban subs are meh. Give this place a go! read more

Food was average at best. Very few items on the menu. The steak sandwich was nothing special at all. The appetizers were greasy bland. I only wish I would have ordered a Cuban sandwich and had something more positive to review. read more

Good but not great Cuban lunch fare. Must have spent too much time in South East Florida with great Cuban food, large portions and incredibly inexpensive options! This place is pricy, fair portions and lacks a certain authenticity! Best bet, try the Croquettes! read more

This place is a gem! Delicious food, warm atmosphere, clean and inviting. Don't wait! We came with another couple and ordered a variety of food. Everything was outstanding. Can't wait to come back! read more

This place is amazing! I had the cuban sandwich, fried sweet plantains and a cortadita. All so fresh and delicous! You can really tell they take pride in thier food and cleanliness of the restaurant. Will definitely come back whenever I'm in the area. read more

Perhaps the best Cuban and South Am. food I have ever had!! Picadillo was awesome, and my wife had the palamillo steak which was excellent. The boiled Yucca w/ mojo was superb, and all portions were huge!! My wife has had there cubans in the past and raved about them, which is why we visited. Their Chimichurri was very tasty as well, excellent compliment to the toasted bread. Place is very clean, owners very nice, and took the time to answer my questions about the menu and how the items are prepared. I would surely recommend this place, as it is rare that all items we try during a visit at an establishment are out of this world. I cannot wait to return!! read more

First time there today for lunch, surprisingly good pork chimi- something was very tender I'll be back again

Came based on Yelp reviews and not disappointed! My girl had the Flank Steak and that was very good! I had the picadillo and that was very good too! Will be back when here in town. read more

This was our first visit to this place. It's tucked in the corner of a strip mall. The food was absolutely delicious! You'll have to wait a bit if the place is full because the food is cooked to order. Well worth the wait! read more

Food was excellent. If I lived here I would eat here once a week for sure. Had the roast pork rice and black beans and it was great. Cuban food is a favorite and Abuela's Kitchen did not disappoint only reassured me tha Cuban food is great. read more

Amazing food and amazing owners! The Milanesa, and the ropa vieja are my favorite with some maduros and tostones.

The most rude staff ever!! I drove my family 40 minutes to eat Cuban food. Showed up with 7 people and the whole staff looked upset that they would have to accomodate. Rude rude rude read more

Very Very good cuabn sandwich. Also got black bean soup tasty. White bean is very good too.
