Ordered the 2 beef enchilada plate, and turned out to only be cheese. Bit into the enchilada and there was a huge piece of plastic in it. Manager was nice enough to comp the meal but very unsanitary and unsafe! read more

Excellent food great service ambience really nice. Been there twice. Plan to go back again soon.

Twice I was here, 2 nights in a row! Love good Mexican food and great Margs....so was so good the first night thought maybe it was a fluke....second night was just as good as the first!!!! Raise your expectations and have a great time! read more

This is an update to my almost 2 year old review: My last review was not very positive, but it was very deserving. After that review, we had not visited Miguel's again in well over a year. In the last 6 months, however, we have been approximately 10 times for both lunch and dinner. We had decided to give them another try after friends told us about a good experience they had recently had. The place has changed dramatically. The atmosphere is still the same beautiful interior with a very nice patio in the back, but the staff changes have made a world of difference. Not only have the waiters and waitresses been extremely pleasant, but they seem to be much more knowledgeable of the menu itself and have made some very good recommendations including some off-menu tweaks to the food. Service has also been much more expedient. From the time we get drinks and chips and salsa to the time we receive our food after ordering. It has been as good an experience as one could wish for. We usually get a manager visit to our table as well just to make sure everything was satisfactory and to thank us for coming in. The food is still very good and we have yet to get an order that wasn't correct. My only drawback is that I do wish the menu had a few more items. It is perfectly fine for most people, but they used to have a much wider variety. They had just recently introduced a new item when we started back (Cheesesteak Tacos) which I tried and loved. We went back within a week just because I was craving them again. After about a month they were back off the menu. I'm sure I could probably request them as they are basically just Tacos al Carbon with grilled peppers and onions and a very nice and smooth cheesy sauce, and they would be happy to oblige. But it just seems a bit pretentious to always order an item off-menu. Overall, our experience has greatly improved and they have once again earned our regular business. Updated my rating for that reason. read more

Very solid choice for some good food and beverages. It won't blow you away, but it's solid all the way around. We went with a party of 12 and everyone enjoyed their meal, and I think we all ordered something different. The ambiance was nice and the staff was awesome, and the prices were fair.

We came in mid afternoon on a Saturday- no rush - quickly sat down. The outdoor chairs that were used indoors - plastic wicker like chairs were coming apart. They were so low to the ground we felt like we had to raise our hands way up to eat. Our waiter was good. Took our order , got it right , checked on us often but not to much . He was good ! The food was blah . My husband ordered the beef & shrimp Fijita and they had some weird seasoning on them. The guacamole was awesome. My daughter got cheese quesadillas. The flour tortilla was so hard I'm fairly sure it was from 11 o'clock that morning. She didn't eat but one bite and the waiter didn't ask if anything was wrong. I got chicken tortilla soup and the chicken in the soup was so tough I couldn't even chew it. The Flo or ... what flavor . It was like broth and toss in a little avocado and chips and call it good. Our bill for one cup of soup , kids meal and one adult meal was $56 before tip. We drank water only ! read more

I came here last summer and I can confidently say I have never had a better waiter than Braden Baker. It's a shame he had to leave to go back to school but he really made an impact on our experience. The food was great but his customer service and smile really sealed the deal for us. I truly believe Braden would be a great godfather for your children. He probably is the guy who saves kittens from trees. Braden is the kind of guy who picks up a straw wrapper in the parking lot just because he cares. He is the kind of guy who would pick a dandelion just to observe the natural beauty this world beholds. Braden is the essence of Miguel's. Their margs are good too read more

Great quality Mexican restaurant. Seating is big and open, plenty of space. It is a little pricey, but really not bad at all. We eat here every week and get the fajitas for lunch with free queso. Our kids love the queso fries. Also, their queso, salsa, and chips are the best in the Big Country that I've found. Waitstaff can be slow depending on who you get. Managers are good though so that is a huge plus. read more

We visited your restaurant on January 26th while traveling to Lubbuck from Ft. Worth. Jay was our server and this man was outstanding. He knew the menu inside and out. He was able to give us a brief description on how some of the items would taste that we were interested in ordering. I ordered the taco salad and I have to tell you, this was the best taco salad that I have ever Had. I can't remember what my husband order. We were tired and we also had our fur baby with us on the patio. Most of the time our fur baby will constantly bark when he is uncomfortable around other people . He did't bark not one time when Jay was waiting on us, so this should let you know what a great employee Jay is. He made our visit really pleasant. Thank you read more

Come in knowing it's a fusion style food place. It's definitely not Mexican or Tex max, it's something a bit different. My son swears they have the best burger in town. Personally, the brisket cheddar taqueria always hits the spot. The queso fantastic is a great appetizer! read more

I keep giving this place a chance but I think I'm done. Tried the chicken rellano and the chicken was horrible I pulled out the chilie and ate it only. Queso had almost no taste. Only reason I will come here is for the poppers. Service was great, waiter was on point keeping my tea filled. read more

Is there a way to make this app remind you that you've eaten somewhere before?? If so I need to block this place from myself. Ate here again and remembered. Margaritas are weird/different but ok. Everything else is really not so great. Salsa is bad, fresh guacamole is bad and very small and Chile Relleno is very bad, with some cheap thick breading. Rice is bad, beans are bad and Enchiladas were not edible either. I'm back at my hotel looking for something to eat. read more

It was amazingggg!!! I really appreciated Liam and Taylor. They were amazing servers and would definitely come back again.

Decent tex-mex cuisine with a lovely patio. Some of the best salsa I've had in a restaurant. Would have it shipped.

Brendia was amazing, she made sure to check in on our table consistently to make sure we were taken care of. Thank you!

REVISION - this place really is hit or miss. We've had very good experiences in the past but today changed all of this. We had this waitress who was an absolute bitch! She was rude and wanted to argue with me about a meal I had had here recently that they never had that in the 4 years her smug ass had worked there. Unacceptable! We promptly got up and walked out! I did speak with the manager and hopefully she addresses this issue. I do know that we probably won't be going here again...such a shame read more

Margaritas are always phenomenal here. And our server Brendia was sweet and amazing! Definitely coming back

Liam and Taylor they're amazing. Great food #FeedTheCats.#FAA #Food #Amazing. Amazing service will definitely come back.

Personal preference, but I love the really thin chili's style tortilla chips (which are the best tortilla chips in the world, don't argue with me about it), and they have those chips here. Salsa has a kinda weird flavor that takes a few chips to get used to, but it's good. For the food, it's the whitest version of texmex I've ever had, and it's amazing. If you're looking for authentic Mexican go somewhere else. If you're looking for a delicious chicken fried Chile rellano or a chimichanga that has bbq sauce on it then this is the place! Service is always great and the ambiance is good. Margaritas are delicious but expect to spend at least $10 on one. read more

The food was good, service was good, and I'd eat there again. I got the chicken tortilla soup, it tasted more like a version of minestrone soup. But it was delicious. The other food was good to. read more

Came here alone for lunch and omg i love the margaritas and food! I'm a huge Tex-mex fan. So i have a lot to compare this place to. The margaritas were delicious and hit the spot! Also, the lunch size was still a pretty good size! I paid a total of $31 for my food and 2 margaritas. Great value in my opinion read more

Occasionally visit when in town. Good service and food is good. Chile relleno was good but is fried which different than what I'm used to but not too bad. Very filling however. You do have an option of 1 or 2 but one is definitely enough. Over mall experience is good but keep in mind it s more Tex mex than traditional Mexican food. read more

Great atmosphere, very well decorated inside. Awesome waitress very friendly and well informed! Margarita were a little different, they make their own triple sac! Chips and dip were great brisket enchiladas a little disappointing! Still good just not very spicy! And overall a little pricy!!! read more

This has to be one of the worst Mexican food I've ever eaten. I went here 2.5 years ago when I first moved to Abilene and it wasn't that bad. Today we went here because it was one of few places open on a Sunday. I wish I had just not eaten anything at all. Let me say some positives first. The staff are friendly and nice and the restaurant has decent ambience. The dishes we got were 1) Carne Asada and Enchilada combo - meat was bland and flavorless, but somewhat edible 2) pollo de jalisco - basically a bland grilled chicken dish with bunch of cheese sauce 3)Chicken and beef fajitas - THEE WORST fajitas I've had in my lifetime. The meat looked and tasted like it was boiled or microwaved. read more

Okay to start, the salsa here is FULL of black pepper, it tastes nothing like salsa. I ordered the brisket nachos and was very disappointed. The chips were completely soggy and chewy as if they had been sitting out, the brisket was super dry and chewy, and the cheese was just some shredded cheddar they put on top and microwaved. Honestly these were some of the worst nachos I've ever had. The service and atmosphere were great though. Our server came to the table several time to fill glasses. read more

Well we thought since it was a fancier looking Mexican restaurant it was going to be good. The food was atrocious, the enchilada plate was for a toddler even ordered 3 enchiladas nor did it even come with pico or guac which is a staple of Mexican food. The brisket nachos were soggier than a wet dog. Definitely do not recommend eating there but we had a good waiter! read more

The salsa will always tell you a lot about a Mexican restaurant. This place has very good salsa. I highly recommend it read more

Noticed this place is always packed so we wanted to check it our for lunch. The place is much larger than it looks from the outside and they have a bar area that is 21+ only. Our waitress was very friendly and they have an extensive menu so it took us a while to choose. Their prices are a little high for the quality of food. I ordered the veggie enchiladas, hubs had the chimichanga, and kiddo ordered cheese enchilada. I also ordered a margarita which was pretty yummy. It definitely wasn't my favorite Mexican food and due to the price, I probably wouldn't come back unless it was during lunch hour prices. read more

Not authentic Mexican food. They are always so busy and hectic. Lots of folks love this place though.

This place had very poor service and food was very overcooked. One big male fell on my table and spilt my food on the floor. As I was helping him up I noticed a rat under one of the booths along with a lot of grease. Sorry just not my favorite! @ Richard, I agree. Abuelos is super fantastic. It is soooo much better than this place IMO. I love how you have your own opinion on things and like to back them up. Really turns me on. Love you man, and your bike! read more

Liam and Taylor were amazing. The service was so good we had over 50 people and they were very attentive. Food was great and surprisingly warm for how much need to be made. read more
