    Plate with a little bit of everything.
    Danielle J.

    Came here for a birthday. Stuck 8 of us at a 6 seater table. Did have to put my food in my lap when it came because there was not enough room for our drinks and our plates. They use big plates for all their food. Started with a hibiscus margarita. It was flavorful and served a little martini glass with a sugar rim. Only had one because of the price of it. Ordered a dip that had a spicy qurso, regular queso, and a bowl of salsa in it. The spicy queso wasn't very spicy and the normal queso didnt have a lot of flavor. I preferred there spicy salsa more than their normal salsa. So wasn't totally impressed with that trio I started out with. I got a fish that had a little bit of everything. Chicken, beef, and cheese enchilada. A taco, a beef tamale, and a cheese filled and fried pablano. Had queso as thw sauce i wanted served on top of it. Wasn't able to eat half of it which was my plan. I wanted to take food home for later. The cheese filled pablano was alright. The breading on it was kinda greasy. Taco was full and the meat had good flavor. The chicken enchilada was my favorite. Moist chicken and very filled enchilada. The cheese one I could have done without and the beef enchilada was good but had lots of grease coming out of it. Overall it was just a mediocre visit. Wish I hadn't had to put my dish in my lap in order to eat it. Would have give 3 stars if they would have given us a better table to sit at.

    Happy Hour at the bar!! Open sitting and served water right away. Started off with some chips and queso. Delicious with some thin and crispy tortilla chips! Ordered a cold beer and a raspberry hibiscus Margarita, much needed after a long day at work. Very nice atmosphere I will most definitely be back

    This abuelos is nice and I love that it's easy to park at. The food is good and if you know what you like consistent. (Love me a Durante burrito). I would say the serving staff needs a little work. They just always seem inexperienced which leads me to believe there is high turnover over. Would love to have great service to go with the good food. Otherwise I'm pretty happy to eat here.

    Great good selection. Something for everyone in the family. Good place for families or a a day out with friends. Portions are huge! And the prices are super reasonable. Their margaritas are great. I have always had great service.

    Well in my continuing quest for great Mexican Cuisine Today marks that spot ! A great nice looking restaurant clean as a surgery room Our waiter Colton took great care of us as we had to wait on our daughter and our precious granddaughter Now to the food I ordered the lunch special of Ground beef taco and a cheese enchilada Let me tell you it was probably the best since my return to the great state of texas The lunch hour wasn't packed so you can have a nice conversation without battling the masses

    Cinco de Mayo Celebration
    Chuck M.

    Let's celebrate Cinco de Mayo! My wife and I hadn't been to Abuelo's in quite a while and decided to dine there since we were in the area and it WAS Cinco de Mayo. We ordered some queso to start the celebration off with along with a couple of their special margaritas. I love the variety of sauces that Abuelos serves. Mixing sauces is a lot of fun with their thin crispy tortilla chips. I even like their green sweet sauce. Their queso was wonderful, creamy and gooey, just like we like it. My wife decided on the chicken fajita taco platter and I opted for the Juarez platter. It had a crispy beef taco, tamale and two enchiladas, one chicken and one cheese. Both platter came with rice and beans. I decided to order Abuelos "Papas con Chile" instead of beans. I always enjoy them. for a change every now and then. Both of our entrées were delicious and served on piping hot platters. That's always a nice touch at Abuelos, the food always comes out HOT. My wife and I had a very enjoyable visit to Abuelos to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. Our server took excellent care of us while we were there. Thank you Abuelos for a very enjoyable relaxing evening.

    Enchilada Platter
    Angela K.

    We don't do alot of chain restaurants but we were in the area and craving Mexican. Our server was the best and on top of everything. You get three types of salsa with chips and all three were delicious. We ordered enchiladas and fajitas and they did not disappoint. The beef fajitas were seasoned beautifully and so tender!!! You get all the toppings and it is definitely enough food for two. I got the papas con chili (?) and they were so so good! Tortillas were a little disappointing but easily overlooked because everything else was so perfect!!!

    This is fajitas for one and there "was" enough meat to feed 3!  Great taste and quality.

    Food- excellent! Service- AMAZING! Emma at the bar was phenomenal. Very attentive and super sweet! Manger-Chad Edwards (super awesome) just overall experience was great. Great food, great atmosphere and over the top service.

    Great location off hulen street. The service was top notch and the restaurant was very clean. I ordered a platter for $22.50 which was literally ridiculous in size. It was fresh and hot and 100% worth the price. I would highly recommend this location

    THIS PLACE IS A GEM! the server who I'm so sad I forgot her name was absolutely flawless service start to finish. Extremely attentive. Kind. Personable. The food was KILLER. I can't wait to come back and try more food items. The menu was HUGE. So many options to choose from. Oh and the margaritas are so cute they give you a pour pitcher for it so you really get like 2 drinks out of your one. Will absolutely be coming back.

There's plenty of seating as well as bar seating. I've been there on a weekend night when a Mariachi band was playing. That made the experience even more enjoyable.

Both were fresh and very delicious. I had the Quesadilla dinner, Mexican rice and Charro beans are included. I must say, I have NEVER had better Charro Beans. My family had the Enchilada Dinner, the Carnitas Dinner, and Cowboy Salad. I can't finish this review without mentioning their Frozen Peach Margarita with sugar, no salt...THE. BEST. I. EVER. HAD.

We always start with a cup of queso, which never disappoints. Some of my favorites have been the carne guisada, beef chimichangas, and camarones al mesquite. My husband usually orders the tacos al carbon, enchilada dinner, or the beef quesadilla dinner, and he's enjoyed all of them. Their margaritas are also really good and pair well with the food. The restaurant has plenty of seating, though it can still get pretty busy during peak times. Even when it's full, it's still comfortable enough to have a good conversation without feeling too crowded or loud. Overall, it's a reliable neighborhood spot with good food, good drinks, and consistently solid service.

I ordered take out and sat at the bar while I waited for my entree.Ordered two drinks while I waited, got the one at the top of the menu and a skinny margarita and they tasted exactly the same ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ they got the job done and were fine. Food: I got the enchiladas three ways with steak. You can take the regular three sauces or choose just one if you'd like. Green sauce is the best, white sauce is pretty good, and the red mole is fine but I wish I would have swapped it out with the spicy almost (orange) sauce that comes with the seafood enchiladas. That sauce looks so good! My partner did not like the red sauce at all, again I thought it was fine just not amazing like the other two. Beans and rice are good, nothing special. Nothing wrong with the chips and salsa just run of the mill. Other thoughts: I wish I had just ate my food at the bar instead of ordering take out. Bar seats are comfortable, views of a tv for anyone sitting at the bar, and it's just a nice comfortable atmosphere in there. The hostess and bar tenders I interacted with provided great service.

Disappointed for a couple of different reasons. - we wanted to sit outside on the patio and they sat us in a table that was filthy. Chips and rice everywhere on the ground under our feet when there were plenty of other table options near that were clean. Also major delays for getting our drinks and chip refills when it felt like we were the only people out there. - the food just sucked. It felt like everything that came to our table was cold and completely rid of seasoning. We ordered the blackened tilapia tacos and that was the best thing we had all night. The chicken enchiladas were a joke. We asked for the sour cream on the side and they decided to just bring out the chicken wrapped in the tortilla and that's it. Not really sure how they thought that would go... beans were cold and rice was meh. No cheese no vegetables nothing else. - I ordered a margarita with a double pour of tequila. Our server came back and said she was instructed by her manager that she can't do doubles and they would have to charge me for another drink and put the tequila in a shot glass instead of having the bartender mix it in. Never in my life have I had someone refuse to make a double. I was curious why this place was so dead on a Friday night but now it makes perfect sense. It's just not a good restaurant. Save your $$ and go eat somewhere else.

From the moment the chips and salsa hit the table, I knew I was in trouble in the best way possible. It tasted like something your grandmother makes without measuring anything, just cooking straight from memory and love. I was told to try the menudo. Normally, that's a dish I approach with caution because it can be a little much for me, but she swore by it. One spoonful in and I wanted to walk straight into the back and hug whoever made it. No exaggeration. The flavors were deep, balanced, and comforting. You can taste the patience, the experience, and the passion it takes to make a dish like that the right way. The service was just as memorable as the food. Warm, welcoming, and genuine. You can tell this is a family affair, the kind of place where everyone cares about what comes out of the kitchen and how you're treated at the table.

There are 2 servers that are very very good, tall white guy and one lady but the rest are TRASH!!! So if you are looking for great food but can overlook the service this is the place but sometimes even the tasty food can't overcompensate the service. We might not comeback for a bit. Oh and we also saw the son today took our server tip from our table and put it in his pocket! And he didn't clean our table at all. He just pass our table, pocket the $7 and left. And he did not even wait on us at all today! I hope that girl got her tip back! So that was the turning point for us for a while. Watch out for him when you leave cash tip for your server.

They're your typical trendy taco place, with their own selection of merchandise and crazy/cheesy jokes strewn about on t-shirts and signage. They have an ample bar space, but it looked like only one patron was interested in that; the rest of us were there to eat. You order your food at the counter and get a buzzer to come back and pick it up. The staff is friendly enough, but you don't really interact with them much since it's all pretty much self service after you go to the counter. The drink station has cane sugar based sodas; it's a bit heavy on the foam, but otherwise good. We opted for the birria pizza, a couple of cups of pozole, and a side of elote. Everything was solid. The elote was good, not great, but the pozole really hit the spot given how cold it was outside. The birria pizza is what blew me away, though. This was easily one of the most unique, but tasty, things I've ever had. It's not really a pizza, more like a topped quesadilla, but they did a great job of it. I'd not only come back here next time I'm in Fort Worth, I'd be interested in opening a location in Houston if I had the money to franchise it.
