Best

Everytime I've been to Abuelo's we've always recieved top notch service, food, and atmosphere. Resteraunt is always busy.

Worst

Atmosphere is decent and wait staff is adequate but the food was not very good. First and foremost Abuelo's is way too spicy for the most folks in the Phoenix area. There is only ...

Fabulous 8/4/2005

Great Mexican food at great prices. Nice ambience and goo service. What more could you ask for? How about the best tamales. more

Abuelo's is the way to go 4/27/2005

Having lived in the Phoenix Metro area since 1979, my idea of ""Mexican Food"" was your typical chain restaurant. I was skeptical the first time I was invited to go, but that one time was all it took. Their margaritas have liquor in them, their chips are thin and crispy, and the salsa is the best I have ever tried. The beautiful decor and original music make for a wonderful ambience. The service we received rivaled some of the best restaurants in town. I have dined there at least once a week since they opened in Peoria. They also opened by some friend's house in Chandler and also in Scottsdale. Pros: Fresh food, Delicious margaritas, Super service more

a good experience 10/19/2003

I dont know what place the single mother who submitted a bad review on this site went to but it wasnt here. The menu is not the run of the mill. The food was excellent and there was a lot of it. The service was good. The prices were a lot lower than I expected for the type of quisine they serve. I had the Mahi Mahi and it was fresh and delicious! Our out of state visitors were very impressed.We plan to return often. Pros: prompt seating , great menu, good value more

This place is awesom 10/9/2003

I eat at this resturant 2 or 3 times a month. The atmosphere is wonderful, the service is great, and the food is better. Abuelo's should be much higher in the list. Also, try gardunio's, they have some of the best tex-mex and mexican in the state. Locations in Chandler and Scottsdale. more

You call this mexican food? 8/17/2003

I heard alot about this restaurant. How beautiful the place was, how good the food was, and a great price. Well, I am a single mom of two and the value of the meals was attrocious! It cost me $35.00 for three meals, but the price was not the worst of it. They were stingy on the chips and salsa, also on the food placed on an oversized plate. If you aren't going to give people very much food then you should put it in a smaller plate to at least make it look bigger. The tacos were made with ground beef so heavily seasoned with chili powder that they tasted as though they were made with hormel chili, and then shells were prefabs not freshly fried with the meat inside. The enchiladas were more of the same just covered with sauce. No thanks we won't be going there anymore. Pros: beautiful setting, nice music Cons: too americanized food, too high priced, not enough food more
