First, the service was top notch. Gordon was absolutely the best. They accommodated all my special needs. We had gluten free tacos, enchiladas, and a scrambled egg. It was all delicious. The salsa flight was so fresh. We're traveling and this was our first good meal in two days. Gordon even recommended some local accommodations. We will definitely stop here again when passing through. read more

never had anything bad here. bar service great. more of an upscale setting more privacy intimate. will return.

Great Tex-Mex restaurant in Amarillo. We went on a Saturday right when they opened. The place wasn't busy but people consistently streamed in. I had a chicken burrito off the lunch menu. It was huge and tasty. They also have great salsas. Didn't get any drinks but they have a really good looking margarita menu. read more

The food at Abuelos is super good. I order three cheese enchiladas with sour cream sauce, rice and beans and they send home some chips and salsa with us. The service is super nice because if you ask for chips and salsa to go they'll send some home with you so you can use it for a snack. The ambiance is so good and idk why or what the word means. read more

Oh my goodness! This place is fantastic! We drove through amerillo and found this "little" gem. The service was fantastic and the food was magnificent! This place has some of the best salsa and naco cheese that I have ever tasted. The plates were massive and very filling, my boyfriend got the grande and I have the quesadilla. Both were delicious. An interesting thing they do is they put the cheese on the outside. I 100% recommend this place. read more

Food was absolutely amazing, my husband said they even cooked the steak perfectly to what he ordered. The inside of the building is beautiful and I loved the open space. Salsa was absolutely delicious and they have some for people who can't handle spice too! read more

Abuelo's ALWAYS hits the spot! This time I had the La Grandeza Frozen Margarita (house Margarita) and the Enchilada Platter (cheese enchiladas with Chile con carne). Everything was excellent including the chips at salsa to start. We sat at the bar to watch the game, and the service was great. Love this place! read more

Picked up a take out order- it was ready, hot & packed for easy delivery! Friendly staff!

We were driving from CO to Austin and overnighted in town. We got takeout and it was good. We ordered from their website. We pulled up and they brought it to our car. The entire order was correct, and food was fresh. Overall, a great experience. If back in town, we would order from here again. read more

A few years back I would have given Abuelo's a 5 star with no problem. But recently, many of their entrees (especially with chili con queso) have gotten much too spicy for me. I know the young people love it, so I understand. I just have to be much more selective when I order. read more

The fire roasted salsa is excellent. We showed up an hour before closing and still had awesome service and great food. Any time I'm in the area I'm coming back here! read more

Slow hostess came in alone tried to persuade me to sit at bar , then told me that they had to bus a table which was not correct. Went over to a few other employees and were talking about me being alone . Waitress was nice and friendly. Overall would come back. But they need to treat business travelers not like creeps. read more

I had a party at the Event Center in September. I just want to say Abuelo's did a STELLAR job. Everything was perfect. It couldn't have run more smoothly. Sam, who is the Event Coordinator, was so communicative and nice and I'm so happy. If you need a place for a party, I highly recommend Abuelo's. The room was great. Sam was great, the food was delicious and we all had a great time. Big thumbs up Abuelo's!! Fantastic job! read more

Our order was to go. But we added notes, which were followed to our complete satisfaction. Good job!! Service was fast. We definitely order again. read more

Fantastic service, gorgeous interior, and great food. We will definitely go back next time we are in town.

One of the best restaurants in Amarillo, always nice for a date night when you want to go somewhere with great food, that feels and looks nice on the inside. Never had bad service or disliked anything I ordered when I used to live in Amarillo. read more

If you're running short on time, consider another place. Unfortunately after waiting 15 minutes and the host making zero effort to bus a table he was waiting for to seat us (family of 5), we ended up leaving. Also, the host was very unfriendly and couldn't have cared less. It was really the vibe from him & the extremely long wait when we were the only ones waiting that made us leave. Oh, and he seated 2 people that came in after us into a booth (that we could've fit in as 2 of our kids are small). So that was annoying. Anyway, good luck if you pick this spot. read more

First off we have been coming to this restaurant for many years. Last Friday night we had a party of 7 (not unusual to have large group). We got there at 7 pm at 7:50 we were still waiting. Went to check on issue. Meantime everyone before and after we arrived had been seated. The staff told me the manager Jarod would not put tables together as they had asked him to. So when I spoke to him and asked him. He told me he was working on it. In the meantime there is another party of 6 to be seated as well. On purpose he seating the party of 6 first and looked at us like I'll show you. The whole family was ready to leave at this time. We stayed. The waitstaff was great. Don't want anything from you just need to clean up attitudes. I understand staffing issues I work retail as well. To top it off we asked for the special bread pudding to go and it was horrible. I wasn't aware it was to have ice cream on it. I hope you can view this picture. It will be a while before we come back. read more

Off putting to start. It was a party of 2 and we went after the typical dinner rush of 6pm. It wasnt busy and half the tables werent filled and yet had to wait an hour to be seated. Then after seating we got drinks immediately. Then waited 20 minutes for the waitress to take the order. Then about half an hour for the food to come out. We ordered the taco plate and the 3 enchilada plate, 2 chicken, 1 beef. The enchilladas on the tortilla part was rock hard on the ends. It makes me think it sat in the window for far too long. the beef was alright aside from that but the chicken was extremely offputting. It was like the juice from refried beans was used in it and overall wasnt up the decent expectations. Waitress asked how the food was and I said it wasnt good. she brushed us off and laughed then left. Other wait staff had been seemingly listening to our conversation as one of them was standing behind us that I didnt even know how long he was there. Just felt incrediably off. Also when asked for to go boxes the waitress brought them then left again for about 10-20 minutes and finally came back with the check so we could leave. The total was 60$ and it wasn't very good. It was about 8:30 pm before we could leave. Will not be back. read more

We had a very disappointing experience with our recent visit. When we arrived, the restaurant was empty on a Friday night at dinner time. That should have been our first clue that we made a bad decision to go to Abuelos. The food has really gone down hill from the last time we were in. First, my son's Sprite was only carbonated water. When we asked for another one, the waitress explained that there wasn't anything she could do because it was on one system. Ok, fine I suppose. Next, my wife ordered an enchilada plate with eggs, but the eggs did not come out with the meal. They were finally sent out when everyone was nearly finished. The food itself was bland and tasteless. The charro beans seemed over cooked or that they had been sitting out for a while. The papas tasted like premixed mash potatoes with cheese. Even the chips and salsa were just ok, chips had been over cooked and the mild salsa was a bit more than ketchup. The service was mediocre. On top of all this, the food was very expensive, especially compared to other local favorites. With the myriad of other Mexican food options available, it is highly unlikely that we will be back for some time. read more

Our meal here was seriously delicious! Stopped in on our way through town and had the El Jefe margaritas, as well as the fajitas. Everything was super flavorful-- the grilled orange in the margarita was extra amazing. We will definitely be making this a regular stop when we come to Amarillo! read more

Tave our waiter anticipated our needs like a waiter at a Michelin star restaurant. The green verde salsa was best i have ever had. This place is the king of classic tex mex with all their dishes. Recommend to anyone who lives here or just traveling thru. Worth pulling off the I 40 for! read more

Horrible experience. Couldn't wait to try this restaurant so I went on my 50 th b day. Waiter was inappropriate with his remarks towards my son in law. And daughter. Food was horrible. Tasted like del taco. My bill was 68. $. I should of just gone to Del taco. The food would of cost me 1.50. And I wouldn't of had to put up with inappropriate remarks from a waiter. Worst experience ever on my b day would never recommend you going here for your b day read more

The food and margarita's were great. I gave a 4 out of 5 because it took FOREVER to get our food. However, I understand most restaurants are struggling with staff issues. Hopefully they will get back in the swing of things! read more

This place was the first I got to eat at in Amarillo since the whole pandemic situation had been going on. This place is so cool! I love how everything by is centered around the water fountain. The wall art and sound of the water fountain provide such environmental comfort and atmosphere. The dishes were so huge in portion. I think I each time I went I had enough food to have another meal at home. I love how they provide the shakers for their margaritas also. Definitely recommend them! read more

Always good! My wife and I enjoy their fajitas and enchiladas- appetizers and drinks are good. Waiters and waitresses are always friendly and attentive. Nice atmosphere - Highly recommended!!! read more

The margaritas were ok. But the wait was terrible. We went in at 12:50pm. We waited 15 minutes before drink orders. Another 20 minutes before getting our order in. 30 minutes before our food came out. Kid's chicken was cold and over cooked, tortilla soup had a hot bowl but cold soup, and remaking food had various levels of being hot to cold on the same plate. Probably our last time to go here. But the margaritas were ok. A little expensive, but ok. read more

This is a very hit or miss restaurant. Sometimes the papas and beans are the perfect side dish and other times, they are so crusted onto the plate from the heat lamp, that you can't even take a bite of it. It's shame that this restaurant lacks consistency. I would like to give it a higher rank. read more

Tried a new item on the menu, grilled bacon wrapped Shrimp- grilled with spicy peppers -super tasty! Also the steak along side the Anaheim pepper had great flavor depth. The trio of salsa served automatically on table was enlightening- loved the darker roasted one! Sorry don't remember the name - habanero sauce was a little too spicy for this girl!! read more
