First off, I'd like to mention that I've been going to Abelardo's for years. Abelardo's is a…read morerestaurant that's been in Omaha for some time and has grown immensely. In my opinion, this is due to the great value, taste, and service that they provide.
This review is similar to review I posted for a different Abelardo's location, but modified as necessary.
Abelardo's my family's favorite go-to restaurant on fast food night. Once a week, we order food in and out of the six people in my family, four of them recommend Abelardo's first. Needless to say, we end up eating there quite a bit.
I always get the chorizo breakfast burrito. The burrito is massive, very reasonably priced, and comes with chorizo, egg, potatoes, and cheese. It is greasy, massive, and delicious. I will admit, it is somewhat unappetizing to see the amount of grease in it. But I don't order a chorizo burrito at a Mexican restaurant expecting health food. Cost of $7.99, which does not include any sides, But is an insanely good value.
My wife and eldest son usually get the combination plate number 18 which comes with two carne asada burritos, rice, and beans. The portion is massive as well. My teenage son eats the whole thing, but my wife routinely saves one of the burritos for leftovers the next day. The meat is well seasoned and overall, it's pretty tasty. Cost for the meal is $12.99.
My two younger sons both get hey breakfast burrito, usually sausage and bacon. Again, this is similar sized to the chorizo burrito (HUGE) and it's stuffed full of ingredients. These also cost $7.99, which is pretty affordable given the size. Extra meat is $0.75.
My daughter has ordered the soft tacos and the fried taco on different occasions. The fried taco she got last time was crispy and delicious, but not too oily and sits on a bed of lettuce. She, along with my two boys who tried it, all said that the refried beans were delicious. Refried beans are their favorite item at Mexican restaurants, so I will trust their opinion on this one. The refried beans were $2.99 for a portion that looked to be about about a pint.
Total bill is usually around $60 for six people, which includes two adults and one teenager. So even though it seems pricey, it's rather affordable for a meal for our family, and the burritos usually provide leftovers for four of the people. Another thing to point out, is that the menu at Abelardo's is huge. There is a ton of different offerings and types of products to order, and surely there is something for everybody. Abelardo's is routinely meeting or exceeding our expectations for taste. I haven't eaten in this particular location, but the drive-thru is always quick and the employees are attentive and friendly. When you're there, it's also worth trying the Mexican drinks, especially the horchata. If you like Mexican food, you must try Abelardo's and likely won't be disappointed!
