This place continues to shine. The staff were really nice and accommodating when we asked for the tv volume turned down. The food was made fresh and fast. The Machaca burrito was a huge win. The veggies and shedded beef went so well with the egg. Also like the standard bacon egg potato and cheese. The salsa bar is awesome. The avocado salsa in particular was a real winner. Just the right amount of kick. And an awesome add that they offer chips when dining in. It may seem pricy, but the portions are enormous. About the size of my forearm. The restaurant itself is well kept and all the tables were clean. Highly recommend! read more

What a great little restaurant! The food is definitely yummy and it's very authentic. Not expensive and you get a great deal of food.

We both got the hash brown breakfast burritos again and once again they were great. This time I made sure we were seriously hungry because the portions are so large and are so good you hate to stop when you are full. My wife has gotten their enchiladas a couple times and was very happy with them. I always intend to try something different but then I remember how fantastic the hash brown burritos are and I always get them. There is always a small wait at the drive thru but it is well worth waiting to get freshly cooked hot food. Always friendly people at the drive thru and great food. Glad they are so close to my home read more

This used to be the best place in Omaha to grab a burrito. It was always fresh and hot, they really took pride in their food. This is the final time I order from Abelardos. I ordered the California burrito. The burrito again was completely cold, the meat was inedible, the cheese wasn't even melted, and they might as well just rolled raw red onions into a tortilla. The chips and queso were awful, the chips were completely drenched in grease and burned. So disappointing again and again the same thing has happened cold food. Nasty. Don't eat here read more

Taco Tuesdays is not what it used to be. "Corporate has told the franchise owner to put a small amount of taco meat in the taco Tuesdays tacos," says the waitress. Pictures on the side of the building show the regular tacos. Called Corporate, and they said 1oz for "Taco Tuesdays Tacos" 2oz for regular Tacos. That is the definition of false advertising. read more

First off, I'd like to mention that I've been going to Abelardo's for years. Abelardo's is a restaurant 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 is quickly become 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. This time, I got the chorizo breakfast burrito. This is pretty much what I always get. 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 ordered the combination plate number 18 which comes with two carne asada burritos, rice, and beans. The portion is massive as well. My teenage son finished his whole meal, 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 got the sausage breakfast burrito, and added bacon to it. 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. My daughter ordered the fried taco, with a side of refried beans. The taco 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 reried beans were $2.99 for a portion that looked to be about about a pint. Total bill was just over $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 provided leftovers for four of the people. Another thing to point out, is that the menu at Abelardo's is giant. 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. When I go in or go to the drive-thru, the service is fast and the employees are 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! read more

The staff here is always very friendly. Tonight we had a pretty large order and they forgot to include our one large horchata. After checking our receipt, we were not charged, but the employee happily gave us 2 horchata's on the house! The nice gesture was greatly appreciated. read more

Abelardos is usually a safe bet for Mexican cuisine. I tried something new and ordered the Nebraska Burrito. It was different, but good ! I'd probably try it again. It had a tasty marinated pork, some grilled pico, potatoes and cheese. The ingredients went well together ! Used a little bit of hot sauce and it hit the spot ! The restaurant was clean and the service was nice and friendly. read more

This is a yummy and quick fast Mexican restaurant. The Birria tacos are very good. Taco shells come on the side. I do wish there were more toppings, but the salsa and cilantro were still good. Beans and rice were classic and well made. The vibe is what you would expect from any fast food place. If I ever want fast food, Abelardo's is the place that I'm going. read more

If you don't have time for sit down Mexican food, but you don't want Taco Bell, then Abelardo's is your answer. It's ready in minutes and the quality is better than anything else you can get through a drive thru. While it's not quite as good as a traditional sit down Mexican restaurant, you can't go wrong in a hurry. read more

When you need a quick fix, this is a great neighborhood spot. The kid loves the tamales and the liter of Coca Cola. We dig the prices. Need to work our way through the menu. I wish there was a way to tell if there beans are vegetarian. I ask and the pause makes me wonder about the answer. I would like to see more information about what is and isn't vegetarian. Like is there an option for beans that don't have meat or lard or meat product in them? I ask the question but never get a confident answer. While it is not our top choice of favorite Mexican food, it does get the job done. We highly recommend the churros and liter of Mexican coke. read more

AWFUL customer service. Waited 20 minutes in the drive thru for one order and it wasn't what I ordered. Went inside to inform them it was the wrong item, cashier didn't even check the item to see and just told me it was correct. I feel they didn't want to remake my food. When I went back to taste it to see if they just made it differently it was indeed something different as I could tell from the start, different meat. Never going there again, I will stick to my regular Abelardos I go to. read more

Your order will be not what you asked for 90 percent of the time. The cashier took my order and asked me again what I ordered once pulled up to the window. It was still not what I ordered. The food is good when they give you what you order. out of the 5 years I have stumbled into this drive thru off 180th and pacific my order is not what I asked for. If you do go there don't mind the line behind you and always check your food before driving off. read more

From So-Cal, lemme tell you: TASTES LIKE HOME. No offense Midwest, I was not expecting you to get down like this. Told my mom about it, she was like "We'll see." She sure did see. Skip the red sauce and grab the green salsa. Personally I like the hash brown breakfast burrito (vegetarian style: no meat, add beans,) Chile relleno burrito, fish tacos, fish torta, fish burrito, and shrimp burrito. TRY THE STUFFED CHURROS. Abelardos, please don't leave me, you're right next to my apartment and if you leave I have to go all the way to South O cause sometimes I don't wanna cook and my mom works too late to make me real Mexican food. read more

First, this restaurant *is* still open as of the day this review was written. I have no restaurant experience, but it seems to me that the most fundamental part of a restaurant manager's job is to accurately communicate that you are open for business and what the hours are. Too many manager's flunk on this very basic function. Okay, this was our first visit. I read several reviews indicating that drive-through wait times are atrocious. I thought, "How bad could it be?" The answer? Pretty bad. I waited in line for at least 45 minutes, and I am not exagerrating. Something is wrong. I do understand that preparing food so it is hot and fresh does take a little more time. Fine. But don't offer a drive-through if you can't manage it efficiently. A drive-through that takes twice as long as ordering in the restaurant is failing in a big way. Something is wrong. I do understand that tonight was Taco Tuesday, so it might take a little longer, but knowing most of your customers are going to order tacos, can't you anticipate that demand and prepare some ahead in anticipation? Of course you can, but you have to have the will and be willing to plan. After I paid for my food and reviewed the receipt, I noticed one beef enchilada, not the two that I ordered. I tried unsuccessfully to wave the drive-through attendant back to the window, but she was gone for nearly fifteen minutes. When she finally returned and I explained that I ordered two tacos, but the receipt showed I only had one coming, she said, "Oh, the receipt is incorrect. One taco actually means two. It just comes out like that on the receipt." She said it so fast, it was as if she had practiced saying it ... or maybe had grown used to saying it over and over again. Why confuse customers? My wife was not a particular fan of the ground beef enchilada, but I enjoyed mine. It wasn't very large, but was quite tasty. Three types of taco shells are available on the tacos for Taco Tuesday: soft, hard, and fried. Get the fried, hands down. They are the best. I have to admit that we did not order any hard shell tacos, but I expect they would be like store bought shells. I was surprised the tacos were as large as they were. They are slightly smaller than a standard taco, but at 5 for $5.00, I was impressed. I look forward to trying other menu items someday, but it will be a while. Because of the negative drive-through experience, it will be a while before we return. Do yourself a favor and go inside to order. Those customers that did were in and out in under 10 minutes. Meanwhile Abelardo's should bring in Robert Irvine for a primer on how to operate a drive-through window effectively. Until the drive-through is fixed, even with good food, the best this place can be rated is average. read more

Love all the other locations but if you want your food in a timely manner NEVER go to this location. I live closest to this one so I end up caving and coming here every so often and I've never had to wait longer for my food. Consistently, time and time again this is by far the SLOWEST location of all the abelardos. If there's only 2 or 3 cars in front of you in the drive through it will take 30 minutes at minimum. The tiny little hut off 180th and pacific will get me my food in half the time. By far worst location in the chain. I keep giving this location a chance to redeem itself but I'm baffled by just how long you have to wait for food. No matter the time of day, no matter how many people are in front of you in line, good luck waiting ridiculous amounts of time for a single entree. Abelardos makes good food. I advise going to ANY other location than the one on 156th and Center. Making the drive to another location will save you the time you'll end up spending sitting in the drive thru at this one. read more

Seriously, this place is still open. We just bought food from this location a couple weeks ago. Food was still good, still fresh. I am not sure why this is being identified as closed. read more

Not good today Abelardos. Got a cheese quesadilla which was sooooo greasy and not cut! What the hell? Also forgot my pico salsa and my crappy lid on my lemonade came off in the car and spilled everywhere! So not going here again. So gross. This quesadilla is a disaster. When is Abelardos going to stop using styrofoam? Planet killers. read more

I sit in the drive thru for a solid 30 min before the lady bring me my food I hit her with. "can I get some red sauces" after the 30min puts 3 green sauces in my bag like what the fuck is that read more

You would think it shouldn't be too hard to make 2 beef tacos, but here it is, after a long wait, I ended up with 2 chicken tacos, taste was not good, grease dripping all over, Garbage! read more

The location is not closed despite what Yelp says. I've never had a bad experience and the staff is usually great. And LOVE the food. I will suggest that unless you want to deal with the long wait times and your life isn't complete without their 5 Tacos for $5 Tuesday deal DO NOT GO ON A TUESDAY. Sat in the drive-thru for 50 MINUTES TO GET FOOD while 4 people went inside and got food quicker than the drive-thru line. But I didn't figure this out until I was already 30 min in line so what difference did it make now??? Moral of the story...either go inside or don't go at all. Staff is usually great, food is always good, but wait times on Tuesdays are ridiculous. If you expect people to be ordering 50 tacos for each order, maybe make a ton of tacos to not have 50+ min wait times. read more
