The jalapeño ranch dip is a 10/10, would come back just for that alone. The baja shrimp tacos were good, but a little heavy on the sauce. Personal preference, but I'd get the sauce on the side and put it myself next time.

Queso, bean & cheese panchos, chicken quesadillas and chicken flautas. Served with guacamole, jalapeños and sour cream. What a great surprise and a great way to sample several items. The queso, bean and cheese ponchos were very good. 1/2 crispy tortilla covered with beans and cheese. There was sour cream and guacamole on the plate for whatever you want to add it to. Chicken quesadillas were delicious as well with a great flavor. The chicken flautas were perfectly cooked and tasted great. They were all freshly cooked. We can't eat the spices so we requested no jalapeño's. The queso was very good with only a mild bite of spice. Our only minor issue is that the chips brought to the table break too easily and it is difficult dipping without them breaking. The salsa was too hot for us but I'm sure it is great for most others ordering. The platter was enough for the 2 of us to share and even bring some home for a snack later! This may be our new go to Mexican restaurant!

We started with the house chips and salsa trio, which is always a win here. The chips were warm and crisp, and the variety of salsas--from bright and fresh to deeper and more roasted--made it easy to keep reaching for "just one more." A solid way to kick things off. For my main, I went the veggie route, and honestly, this was the standout of the meal. The sizzling vegetable fajitas arrived steaming hot and loaded with broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms, peppers, tomatoes, and squash--perfectly cooked, well-seasoned, and served on a cast-iron skillet that kept everything hot down to the last bite. Colorful, hearty, and surprisingly satisfying, even without meat. The rest of the table went more traditional with enchiladas, rice, beans, guacamole, and queso, and everything looked generous and comforting in that familiar, crave-worthy Tex-Mex way. Portions are filling, flavors are approachable, and it's easy to find something for everyone at the table. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with a lively bar area and cozy booths that make it a great spot for a casual dinner, family outing, or low-key night out. Service was friendly and efficient, and everything came out exactly as expected. Abuelo's may be a familiar name, but when you're in the mood for reliable Tex-Mex, solid vegetarian options, and a relaxed, welcoming vibe, it absolutely hits the mark.

I got the steak fajita combo which was very well prepared, came with 4 tortillas and a few sides, and of course a massive plume of steam which blinded me (8/10). I also tried some of the shrimp nachos from my friend which were quite good, but they were like... just nachos... so kinda overpriced (6/10). Complementary Chips were alright, salsa was eh, they had a bowl of choco mints which was a nice gesture. Service was quite standard, indoor decore was also standard. They had an entire garlic bunch near where I sat which, I presume, was there to ward off vampires??? So the establishment probably has had an issue with a coven in the past so that's mildly concerning. 10/15 Pretty good Tex mex, kinda mixed value for the price though, standard ambiance, standard service. Saved by the decent quality and the vampire protection.

One of the more relaxed college bars in Lubbock. Great to watch a game at on their TVs, but Chimy's to the people around me is known for their chiltons, their margaritas, and their great food from their cheese fries to their hamburgers. I don't know when they ID for the night, but I have never been and not been IDed, so expect it to be 21+ most hours. Like most bars, it can get a little rowdy and loud in the evening so be careful. On a cool summer night, their patio is a great time, but inside is always a cute vibe. Personally, when I go, I get some cheese fries and a Silver King margarita and it's PEAK. The cheese fries are usually served with a side of ranch in a tortilla bowl. I ALWAYS EAT THE BOWL. SUE ME. The staff here can be decently friendly on nights, but they will throw you out immediately if you're being an idiot, and security will flip out if you walk out through the emergency exit. Don't do that. They close up shop around midnight, so it's not a bar that rolls to the end of the night, but still it's worth going to get the night started at the bars, especially because they're one of the best bars with food in Lubbock.

The locations in Houston/Katy, staff are always attentive and ask if you need help when you self-order, which I appreciate.
