Food was bland service was nonexistent. Overpriced we waited for a refill on drills but that never happened so we waited on the ticket and finally had to get up to pay at the cash register. That was the only time we aa read more

Well since I can't leave a zero I just won't go there EVER again. The chicken taco had cold canned chicken, the refried needed a large straw due to the watery consistency, the rice had no taste, the tamale was like a pancake. read more

See all

Food is horrible and very bland. Service is marginal at best. This place used to be great but no longer. I will never be back.

It's several years since we've been there. The food used to be a 4 star restaurant. Unfortunately they have gone down in quality. Went there a few days ago and my food was sent back as it came to me barely like warm. My wife and I ordered the same items. Beef enchiladas with rice and beans. They almost put some rice on my plate. Come on now! Rice is very inexpensive. Unfortunately this will be our last visit there. We originally headed for Portrillos, but when we saw 5 Murray County deputy Sheriff's standing in the entry way, we kept on driving. Wonder what was up with that. read more

In town for a weekend getaway so we decided to try it. Service and staff was good. The queso and salsa were really good! Husband and i both had the steak street tacos, they were pretty good! We will come back for sure if we are in the area! read more

The food was awful. Ordered a shredded chicken taco salad, when I got it, it looked strange. It was canned chicken!! Tasted terrible. My husband ordered carneasada which was a special not on menu, he said it was over cooked and whole meal was very bland. The queso had no taste. The only thing that was good. Never going back. They don't even deserve one star. read more

This place WAS my favorite place to eat until today. I went out for my birthday, sat with my family & had to wait around 15-20 minutes just for drink order. I should have known something was wrong, but I thought it was a busy time for them so I let it slide. Well after waiting about 45 minutes for our food, while four other tables were seated & their food was brought out before ours. My brother had to finally go to the kitchen area & ask what the hold up was. They finally brought ours out. (never mind the fact they gave us things we specifically asked not to) The kicker for me & why I will not be back is that my sister went to pay & the woman taking the money said they go in order of when the food orders get placed. My sister was very polite & said that four tables were seated after & their food was brought out before ours. The woman GLARED at my sister the rest of the time she was paying. read more

Fast service. The food is not that great, but the prices are reasonable. The refried beans could use flavor, the rise tried to hard, and I wish everyone would stop it with the "queso". read more

Service was awful. Took 25 minutes to get our drinks, coke and tea... Not too hard... Beans tasted weird. Queso was watery. Salsa was bland. As a Mexican woman.. This place poorly represented our delicious food. Will not return. read more

Sorry but this was a disappointment... With the exception of the salsa, the food was extremely bland. There appears to be a quality disparity between the lunch & dinner orders, as well. Generally a quantity difference can be expected but the dinner selection appeared to have a higher quality of taste versus the lunch selection. Was passing through town but definitely wouldn't go back. read more

The service was poor at best. A certain family came in and was seated. The focus of the entire staff was directed at that particular family. They were either the owners or the book keeper, the custom discussed an employee w4 form with them in public. Not appropriate. If it is the owner shame on them for running their business that way read more

Food had a very "off" taste. Salsa was bad and our favorite food is authentic salsa. Chicken looked like fried spam and tasted the same, couldn't eat the rice either. Would not recommend. Don't trust the google reviews. read more

A disgrace to even call it a Resturant. Charged me 28 dollars for some small portions on the fajitas for two, literally 9 pieces of meat total. Gave me refried beans and potatoes for my side. Everything tasted awful. read more

One star cuz you can't put zero. Got charge $13.99 for a "steak". Pieces of meat, about 4-5 they are trying to call steak dinner. Their owner lady is not nice, like she hates her job. The servers were nice. Not going back there again. Sucks because for people like us who are driving through town and want to come back for the summer would have eaten there again if the service better and the food was better. People want to eat Mexican food, not food you think Americans would eat. read more

I have used Yelp for quite awhile, and this is my first review. I ate there twice within two consecutive days, and both days I received not only excellent service, but also the best Mexican food I have EVER eaten. I had the shrimp tacos and guacamole for my meal and the strawberry sopepia for dessert. I very highly recommend. read more

Service was the only thing any good here. Food was bland and not worthy of mention. Sorry but I will not be back. Don't know if it's the same owners as the abuelitas in Shawnee. But the food quality at all these abuelitas seems to of dropped ridiculously. Which really stinks because they used to be my favorite!!! read more

Best Salsa in town! Love this place. I get the same number 5 on lunch menu every time but never disappointed!

Pleasantly surprised with how great this place is. Service was very quick, the employees seem to really care about their customers, food was really good and prices were great. Would definitely come back ! read more

The service was great but the food was mediocre. I think part of this is because I'm vegetarian and the choices were few. They only serve beer and use lotsof cheese. My dining partner said that the chicken quesidillas were good. read more

Love this local favorite! Eat here at least once a week. It's family owned and operated.

Wish I could give another half star. Only the wait time caused a drop frop 5 star. La comida es marvelosa! True authentic regional mexican food. Tortilla lo ke grand moms and tamales perfect balane of masa & meat. Only complaint was it was packed so the fajitas set off the smoke alarm...rather humorous actually. Go! You won't be sorry! read more

Good food, great service. Best salsa I've had in Oklahoma! Everyone was so friendly and caring, we will be back!

Very fast service you get seated quickly , you get chips salsa n cheese sauce at your table included with your meal , always very clean and friendly read more

Abuelita's is a favorite of the locals but frankly the food is borderline at best. We have tried the place a few times and come away disappointed in both flavor and presentation. A shame one has to go out of town for good Mexican food read more

We were visiting the area for the weekend and stopped to eat here. It was 9:10pm and restaurant closed at 10:00. In most cases this is more than an acceptable amount of time to be waited on and served before closing. We were finally greeted by a less than excited hostess/server. She and the other staff were not welcoming, being downright rude. We asked to sit on the patio, thinking she'll warm up if given the chance. All we got was a grunt and shrug as she led us outside. We continued to try and engage her in friendly conversation, but received disinterest and rudeness for our trouble. She asked for our drink order. I asked if they had a full bar or just margaritas and beer. She shrugged and said, "I don't know." At this time I stated it was clear she was not interested in having us as customers and that we were leaving. She shrugged and said, "Okay." Awful attitude and professionalism. Needless to say, we will never be back on future visits. read more

First time to the area so we weren't sure where to eat but Great service & good food!

food wasn't awful, quite bland though. wasn't offered tortillas, not checked on until after all our plates were empty, and waited a good 10-15 minutes with empty plates and still had to ask for our check to be able to cash out. service could've been way better. not attentive enough at all. not very friendly. read more

Food was not hot and unimpressive. Service is slow. Had to ask for drink refills, chip refills, never got more queso or salsa. Just overall not a good experience. read more

Pros: Fast seating Mexican Coke in the bottle Pretty big menu selection. Food was quick Cons: No flavor Food was quick. I know I said that "food was quick" was a pro and not a con. But the down side to quick food is lack of prep and flavor. Chips were good as well as the salsa. The queso was watered down and lacked any depth or flavor. I ordered the lunch beef fajitas and one crunchy taco. Taco was average at best and not worth the $5 a la cart price tag. No flavor to the meat whatsoever. Cheese was good as was the lettuce and tomato. The lunch beef fajitas were absolutely terrible. The rice and beans were good. The guacamole was average. Corn tortillas were delicious. The meat was terrible though. Thick cuts of steak and had zero flavor. What was more disappointing is that it all came on a plate. Not a sizzling skillet. What made that even worse is halfway through my meal the table behind me had there food delivered and here comes their fajitas smoking and sizzling. They had the chicken fajitas. Not sure why beef is served differently than chicken. If you do not know any better about Mexican food then this place is for you. Otherwise don't waste your time on sub-par food in a blah atmosphere restaurant. read more

Excellent food and atmosphere in Sulphur ok. Menu rocks!! My personal favorite is the seafood tostadas, seafood tacos, and old fashioned tacos, not to mention they have EXCELLENT frozen mugs with lime on the rim, great for dos equis and tecate!! If you don't visit Abuelitas... Your missing out. read more
