    I will never go here again as I was eating my fried Taco I felt something hard I spit it out and I don't even know if I swallowed half a toothpick. I spit out half a toothpick

    All the meats, Burrito ! This is a meal for 2! Get the Guac Sauce!

    I've traveled all over the US and eaten at many Mexican restaurants, and Abelardo's ranks in the top 5 for menu selection, food flavor, quality, and quantity. But! They have the best Queso dip I've ever had!!! ALL-TIME FAVORITE! Everything I have had is very good and made to order. It takes a few minutes through the drive through, but wort it! The Burritos are enormous the Bfast bowls are too! You will not be disappointed in portion size, and I recommend the Guac-sauce! This location is drive through only. No inside seating.

    A little more "South O" than your usual North O Mexican fare. It's not as American as Taco Johns or Taco Bell, but doesn't have all the offerings of meats (al pastor, cheek, head meat etc) that you would easily find cruising down 24th street. It's got an amazingly fast drive thru, and it opens till 10 on weeknights. I personally love the chimichanga, bc fried burrito is basically my middle name. I think you can get a solid Amer-Mex meal here, it won't hurt the wallet too much, and it's fast and convenient. Two thumbs up from me.

    First of all, remember that Abelardo's is a fast food restaurant. When I talk about how good it is, I'm measuring it against other similar establishments. Don't be a food snob and claim that it doesn't compare to a "real" Mexican restaurant. This place is open 24 hours and they're legendary for fulfilling late night snack runs and satisfying the most vicious Mexican food craving. The prices are great and the food... well, let me tell you how good the food is. I live in San Antonio, TX, the TexMex capital of the universe. My daughters attend college in Omaha. When I visit them, I purchase several burritos at Abelardo's, I freeze them in my daughters' freezer, throw them in a cooler covered in ice, and drive back to Texas. Are you hearing what I'm saying? I import burritos to Texas from Omaha. I know it sounds absurd, but it's true, and if you try them you'll understand. And if you don't try them, that only means there'll be more burritos for me on my next trip to Nebraska.

    Taco Tuesday is popular. Toppings fresh. They need to drain the meat better. The tacos are either wet and soggy or greasy immediately.

This last visit they had the entire restaurant decorated for Valentine's Day coming up. But, besides the additional decorations the overall vibe is what you would expect for a Mexican restaurant but more. The service has been friendly and fast! The original Margarita is very good and for the price its about 3 servings. The complementary chips & salsa is great and more of a forgotten service nowadays, but great to see that Alegre is still doing it. The homemade tortilla chips are so good so be careful to not fill up on these before the main entrees. Kendra got the Chile Verde which was massive and was enough food for leftovers the next day. And, I had the Ceviche Sampler which is new and definitely worth every penny! It's hard to find restaurants that have ceviche on the menu, but this has been one of my favorites if you love seafood and a repeater for me! If your looking for more of an upscale $$ Mexican restaurant with great food, service and ambiance it's hard to beat El Muchacho Alegre.

I've had this restaurant recommended by multiple people and I can say it lives up to the hype. I loved the decor and music playing, the atmosphere was casual and fun. We were sat in a little booth but there are high and low tables and a bar area inside and a patio outside. The patio is shaded, which will be nice in the summer. We had chips and salsa brought to the table, and they were the typical restaurant chips and salsa, nothing special but tasty. I ordered the birria tacos and was so glad I did! They were cheesy, greasy, full of meat, and the consommé was rich and flavorful. The rice was really flavorful and the beans were typical. My husband ordered a cantarito and I thought it sounded good so I ordered one too. They were much bigger than we've had before. They were kind of warm, cherries were added, and it was heavy on the orange juice. I wouldn't order one again, but I would definitely order a margarita. They all sounded so good, and I'd love to try the candy shots! They only came as a set of 4, I wish we could get them individually. Overall, a great experience and looking forward to going back to try more.

I loved the colorful paper banners and the paintings. We went at about 5 pm on a Saturday and were seated quickly. By 6:30 when we left, it was starting to fill in and there were a couple big parties so we left at the right time. The menu was pretty extensive, lots of different offerings. We were given complimentary chips and salsa, then our waitress offered more but didn't tell us it was $2 for a refill. Not a huge price, but we weren't told it was extra. I got a frozen classic margarita and my husband got a classic on the rocks. One and done! It was strong, your basic pre-mix flavor, and I loved the glasses! There was another drink on the menu called a cantarita (similar to a Paloma), which I can't wait to try sometime. I ordered the birria tacos and they were so good! The shell had a light crunch, the cheese was perfectly proportioned and melted, the meat was tender and flavorful, and the broth had the perfect amount of season, onion, and cilantro without being too overpowering. Everything was SO filling, between the drink, chips and salsa, I had to take one of the tacos to go. The salsa is made in house from fresh ingredients but the chips and tortillas aren't. She said they get the dough and it's cut up prior to making the tacos. Our waitress was super friendly and helpful, but the service was a little slow even though it wasn't too busy most of the time we were there. We didn't mind because we had time, but something to consider if you're in a hurry. Authenticity was 6/10 based on the overall vibes, music, taste of the food, but it was a bummer the tortillas weren't fresh made and the margarita was pre-mix.

The service was fantastic, and it felt like a true family restaurant. The chips were so good, and the salsa was spicy but not too much for people with sensitive palates. I love this style of chips, not a thin restaurant style but a thicker, more savory bite. We went through one portion before our food got to us and they brought more out when I asked. I highly recommend the tacos. I made a mistake and asked for birria not quesabirria tacos, so make sure to specify that if you want quesabirria (with cheese). But, the birria was good anyways! I also got the taco macho (see the pic for what's inside), and wish I would've ordered 2 of those! My husband got the huitlacoche and squash blossom tacos and they were both so good. I was so impressed they had huitlacoche as an option, I've never seen that before! The drinks were ordered and delivered from the server, but she said since they're working on a liquor license they have a bar next door that makes them. If you order a drink with your food, they charge for the drinks and food separate for that reason. I liked my jalapeño margarita!
