Abuelos has often been a family favorite for us, and finding one in Orlando was a treat. Unfortunately their reservation tool is very ineffective. For 3 days straight it showed no tables available, so by the third day we decided to just drop in. We found a nearly empty restaurant though the reservation tool showed nothing available that night. Glad we just stopped in! The service was superior!!! The food was excellent, as always, and we had a lovely, relaxing experience! Don't hesitate to enjoy this gem of a restaurant read more

It's just not the same.Been going to Abuelo's for a number of years and it has lost its essence.The service it's terrible when you tell the greeter that is your daughter's birthdate and they don't acknowledge,the host on his cellphone the whole time and club music playing on the background I thought Abuelo's was a Mexican restaurant?Also management never check with us to see how was our dinner experience.I won't be coming back. read more

Disappointed in our visit today....we were seated right away, orders taken quickly, etc. Food was good and service was fine. Problem started when I told the waiter that I had a coupon for $5 off...I didn't realize that I gave the wrong number to my account. I just recently signed up for an account and didn't realize that the number I gave was the number for the coupon for $5 off and not my actual account number. Waiter came back with the check and said that his manager was looking into it but couldn't find anything with my name on it from recent transactions. So I looked again on my account and realized I made a mistake. I apologized to the waiter and said I gave him the wrong number and he said he will go get his note pad to write down the correct number. He came back with a notepad and wrote my number down along with the check. A few minutes passed and waiter came back and said the manager said he couldn't give me the $5 off this time but that I can come back next time. I didn't understand why when at first they couldn't find my account number the first time they didn't come back to double check with me to see if I had given them the wrong number and to perhaps ask me to look again before ringing up the check? I even showed the waiter the number (the one that I mistakenly gave) on my phone from the email and he copied it off! Obviously I do have an account if the waiter can see the actual email in my phone. Why did he not tell the manager what he saw and that I wasn't making it up? Mistakes do happen and I even apologized to the waiter when he returned. Not sure what happened with the communication between the waiter and his manager. When the waiter told me his manager said they cannot ring up the check again I did think of speaking to the manager but my husband advised me to leave it alone. The $5 coupon was only for a limited time so I can't use it another time. It wasn't even about the $5 off but more of customer service and giving customers the benefit of the doubt. We've been to this restaurant quite a few times recently after giving this restaurant a try again after some time away and thought things have improved. . Not sure if we will return anytime soon after this experience. read more

The space is big and inviting - it feels like dining al fresco in Mexico City - and Daniel provided exemplary service. Compared to other Mexican restaurants in the South, the chips were moderately, and the salsa mildly, above average. I ordered the enchiladas, one filled with cheese and onion with ranchera (red) sauce, and the other filled with spinach (creamed) with queso sauce. Both were fantastic. Greatly appreciated being able to order completely vegetarian black beans and lime cilantro rice (the refried beans contain pork, and the Spanish rice is made with chicken broth). Little touches like this go a long way to ensure that customers love their meals. Abuelo's, with prices that are altogether reasonable, offers food, service, and a dining environment which are substantially above average. read more

Great location and customer service. The alcoholic beverages however were not good. 2 members of our party sent theirs back. Overall the place is beautiful but the flavor or presentation were not in the food. It didnt come out looking very appetizing. I came in a big group and all of us were disappointed. I ordered a carnitas burrito and it looked like it was deflated. Rice was good, beans were not. We would most likely not be returning back to this spot. Not authentic Mexican food. The spicy sauce Infierno they have is just salsa. They need a spicy sauce for guest atleast. read more

Great drinks food and attention to the customers needs. Great classy Mexican ambiance

This quaint Mexican Restaurant takes your breath away with the grand decor as you walk in. The Dip sampler is delicious and plenty for a party of 2 to 4. I ordered the Fajita Chimichanga again a big portion this can also be shared. They also have a loyalty rewards program for repeat customers. The waiter was also the Bartender since we went around 3pm when it was not too busy. He recommended the Sangria Swirl alcoholic drink for myself and I was pleasantly surprised at the great taste. We are looking forward to return to try other menu items. read more

The decor is spacious and beautiful inside. It is definitely Tex-Mex, not authentic. I went for lunch and it was pretty good. I tried the Mexican stack, which was a good sized tostada. It was pretty good, but needed more cheese. I think I was expecting a Mexican pizza when I saw the stack, but it wasn't dissapointing. read more

Fire Mexican food. Waiter John absolutely cooked. Worked at the speed of light. I've never had chips refilled that fast. Ambiance made me feel like I was dinning overseas in Cabo. Delicious night read more

Hostess greeted us with a smile and was very welcoming, we were sat at our table and then nothing. Even with excessive rubber necking from all three people in our party, nothing. Understanding there could be other things going on we waited and waited. After 20 mins of NOT EVEN a drink order let alone acknowledgment of any kind we agreed to leave. When walking out we stopped at the hostess station and told the her and what looked to be the manager we were leaving due to never having ANYONE coming to the table. On top of the two top that was sat 30secs before we had been, already had their food. The manager tried to get us to stay and make things right, but after waiting for so long- there was no making it right. Very disappointed and will not be returning. read more

JOJO WAS A SEXY BEAST! Spicier than the salsa... which was also good. Coming back! read more

This day was National Margarita Day so of course I had to stop somewhere to celebrate. My daughter picked this restaurant out and I was happy to give it a try. As I entered, it had a open air look Mexican style courtyard with seating in the middle and around in the halls of the courtyard. It was lite as though you were outside. They offered a mix of both modern and traditional Mexican décor thru out. I thought It was very different for a place that offered Mexican cuisine. Our server Louis was great as we never had to wait for anything. He checked back on us every few minutes to make sure we were happy. I had the El Jefe Margarita, which was $2.00 off and was Top Shelf but still cost $11.25. I was a bit disappointed they did not offer better prices on this day though.T hey offered to donate to a non profit instead. They do give you some great chips and multiple tasty salsas before your order comes which were very good as I was hungreee. I ordered the lunch special which was a enchilada and a taco, $10.59. I had the brisket taco and the meat was shredded and was in a sauce, which was a bit heavy for me. My daughter had the Lunch chicken fajitas, $14.49. Overall, I felt they are a bit pricey as there is a lot of this cuisine being offered in this zip code for less and its very good. For a lunch it cost me a dinner price. Over $40.00. They seem to have specials though on their web site and FB page and they reviews are solid so give them a try. read more

I live in South Florida and make the 3.5 hour drive north just to eat at this Abuelo's. This weekend I meet up with family from Arkansas and Wisconsin at Walt Disney World but insisted on taken them out of the park and to my favorite place to eat. You guys did not disappoint!!! Food was delicious!! Our servers were friendly and so nice to my 89 year old Mother. Restaurant was clean, organized and fast with drinks, chips and appetizers. I have been coming here for over 4 years and it is always good and always a perfect outing for family and friends. read more

I wouldn't even give this place a single star. The queso is more a rotel dip and the salsa tastes like its from a jar. The chicken looks and tastes like it's from the freezer! This is the farthest from Mexican that I've ever ate. read more

Not authentic Mexican food but a good choice if in the area. A little overpriced for the type of food it is. Most of the entrees are big portions tho. They have a green tomatillo salsa with pineapple which is delicious. Their chips are light and airy and not on the greasy side so they are pretty delicious. Sangria is really good. For vegetarians they have a Chile Quesadilla under appetizers and it is really good. This restaurant wouldn't be my first choice for Mexican food in the area. Interior restaurant decor is pretty awesome makes you feel like you are eating in an outdoor patio. read more

The food here was very tasty! The service goes above and beyond with an amazing staff. The overall restaurant was okay, but does not feel or attempt to be authentically Mexican; however, I do not want to be too nit-picky about the ambiance. read more

This is one of my favorite places. They have the best chips, salsa, & quest!!! And my favorite menu item is their quesadilla Al horno with chicken. Super big and cheesy. Their rice is delicious and their fries crispy. Everything they make is delicious. The servers and bartenders are always on point and quick. Delicious margs. And the center of the dinning room is my favorite with a beautiful ceiling that looks like the sky! Abuelos is delicious! read more

We came for lunch on Sunday. The energy was low. It was a beautiful day and we wanted to sit patio. No one was sitting on the patio, the furniture looked sad and not updated, and it was uncovered so we decided to sit inside. The hostess was busy doing something we approached her. I had to tell her how many was in our party. Food 4/5 We had a taco salad and guacamole. Everything was fresh. We noticed and appreciated that! It all tasted bland though. We put a pinch of salt in our guacamole because it tasted like it had none in it. Service 4/5 Our server Luis was great. He was attentive and observant. I had asked for no meat and cheese on the salad and he made sure to take out the mixed cheese, chili con queso, charro beans, etc. The guy that brought our food out had great energy. Smiling, asked if it looked correct and if we needed anything else. Someone was also with him, looked like she was shadowing him for training. :) When we left I was kind of bummed because the hostess (different one from earlier) didn't say a word to us. It was like we were invisible. No "bye", "have a good day", "thanks for coming"... Not a crazy huge deal, but "front of the house" is the face of a business. read more

Nice restaurant, with a separate bar area with tables as well. The staff are always super nice, and the service is good. We come here for lunch now and then; I usually order the chicken fajitas that are really good. My husband and I weren't super hungry, so we opted for 2 cold draft Dos Equis Lagers, and a huge chicken burrito (more than enough). While we waited for our order, we snacked on the complimentary order of fresh chips and homemade salsas (sweet, hot and mild). The chips and salsa are to die for!!! I just learned that they have a rewards program. That really surprises me, because as many times as we have been there, no one has ever offered this to us. I will be inquiring on my next visit. read more

Man, this place goes a little downhill each time I visit.. and that makes me sad. Let's start with the positives... Positives: Really cool looking restaurant inside! It is starting to feel a little worn and dated but overall it is super nice for a casual chain restaurant. Service is usually very good. Quick and friendly! Love that you get 3 salsa choices with your chips! Negatives: Food - there is just much better Mexican food now in the area. Even with chains, Chuy's has this place beaten hands down. When it first opened there was less competition. My fajitas were worse than what you would get at Chili's and those are pretty bad. Prices - way, way, way high for what you get. I shouldn't feel like I'm paying theme park prices in a chain restaurant in the loop. Overall, I'm leaning more and more to not returning which bums me out. read more

Train the staff, ask the bar to be honest. Ordered a skinny marg, just juice. Came as fluorescent green. Bar told server it was just Juice. Sent it back. Asked if chili rellenos were breaded and fried as menu did not state. She said not breaded. They came breaded. Sent them back. Mgr came to table 20 mins after food returned. Did not apologize. Sent the nice server initially to relay the message. Her name was Aleece. She was very pleasant and tried to be helpful. A mgr that cared about clients would have handled this better. This place is a hard no. read more

Private party experience: great! 4/5 I attended a private event for a company and the food and service was great. Pricing: $$, about $30 per person including alcohol beverage and entree Drinks: My wife had a sangria swirl, which did look different from the actual picture, however was delicious. I had a blackberry mint mojito which was also delicious, reminded me of a jolly ranger drink. Food: For our entrees, my wife had The Grande which includes a little bit of everything, this is a great entree to share for 2 since it's the best bang-for-your-buck, lots of food 1 great price. I had the steak fajita enchilada, it was very savory and I cleaned my plate fairly quickly (I think I was very hungry) Service: Since we had a private room for the company event, we were immediately seated. The waitress was great, she attended to all of our needs even when we were a large party. Verdict: My overall experience was great however the only reason I have it at a 4/5 was the timing on the food and service. We were a party of about 20 and we only had 1 waitress which dragged the whole ordering process, drinks, etc. so our stay lasted a while unfortunately. read more

WOW Delicious food good service and super clean restaurant.Love it definitely will come back for sure.

I was craving nachos, Tex mex style. I searched for best nachos in Kissimmee and Abuelo's came up. I had never been, but it sounded like what I was looking for! Best decision!! I was greeted as soon as I stepped inside, very friendly! She seated me in the bar area, Mike came to greet me, and I told him what I was wanting. He was awesome, the food was awesome! The nacho presentation was great, 10 crispy half tortillas, each covered with cheddar/Jack cheese, beef and jalapeños with a center full of sour cream, guacamole and pico!Lovely restaurant! Music was nice, not too loud. I just wish we had one closer to home (Kentucky)! read more

Abuelo's Mexican Restaurant - Nachos Grande - Mexican Near Me - Kissimmee, Florida

This was my first time at Abuelos. The restaurant was beautiful, and a little more upscale than your regular Mexican restaurant. The decor was flattering, very pleasing, and not overwhelming. Because of covid, the restaurant had a ñimited menu, but everything that was offered on the menu looked scrumptious. I ordered the fajita chimichanga (two of my favorite dishes) with the cheese potatoes. It was extremely good. The fusion of the two had my mouth watering. It was a really delicious dinner. Alyssa, our waitress was top notch. She (and her sister, Josephine (our server)) offered impecable service. They took care great care of us, offered us excellent service, and kept us laughing our entire meal. Our experience was great, even though Michael Bigford (One of the managers) kept giving us mean, dirty looks each time he walked pass our table. It was annoying, aggrivating, and a bit intimidating. I'm not sure if it was a mistaken identity thing, but it was unsettling. read more

This platter is called The Grande, was plentiful and perfect for 2 people that thoroughly enjoyed the chips and salsa. Overall just not a fan of Tex mex and how cheesey it all is, but for those that do love it, and are indecisive, this is a good one to try a little of everything! read more

First off I never write reviews. I felt like this was so bad I had to. We was around the area and decided to try this place out. It was on. Monday afternoon and it was not busy. The lady taking our order got us our dinks and disappeared. Once she finally came back and took our order we waited approximately 35 minutes before I went to the hostess to ask to see a manager. Five minutes later our waitress came with the food. It was cold and not prepared well at all. I asked to see a manager again. We finally left and didn't eat or pay. Still didn't get to see the manager. This place has a nice atmosphere but the staff and food are horrible. Do not recommend. read more

Very nice restaurant and very nice inside. The food was amazing and the service was even better. The workers couldn't have been any nicer

The atmosphere is nice and the service is fantastic but the food is severely lacking. Our meals included the fajita chicken, the sea bass, chicken tacos and the tortilla soup. The fajita: the chicken was served on a mound of overcooked onions with 4 pieces of bell pepper (also overcooked). The chicken while cooked well was not seasoned and oh so bland. The beans were more like a soup. That was the standard for all the items - bland. Even the margaritas were tasteless . It would be shocked if anything was actually cooked in the kitchen- it seems to all be defrosted and reheated. I would not suggest eating here. read more
