Happy Hour menu
Kimberly W.

I love Abuelo's. They have solid Tex Mex, a stylish interior, and super friendly and fast service. I especially like that they'll provide lettuce wraps instead of tortillas for the fajitas (I know, that's illegal in Texas but I'm "one of those"). Overall, love the place.

Raspberry Hibiscus Margarita
Ashley A.

Happy Hour at the bar!! Open sitting and served water right away. Started off with some chips and queso. Delicious with some thin and crispy tortilla chips! Ordered a cold beer and a raspberry hibiscus Margarita, much needed after a long day at work. Very nice atmosphere I will most definitely be back

Queso
Amber S.

This abuelos is nice and I love that it's easy to park at. The food is good and if you know what you like consistent. (Love me a Durante burrito). I would say the serving staff needs a little work. They just always seem inexperienced which leads me to believe there is high turnover over. Would love to have great service to go with the good food. Otherwise I'm pretty happy to eat here.

Plate with a little bit of everything.
Danielle J.

Came here for a birthday. Stuck 8 of us at a 6 seater table. Did have to put my food in my lap when it came because there was not enough room for our drinks and our plates. They use big plates for all their food. Started with a hibiscus margarita. It was flavorful and served a little martini glass with a sugar rim. Only had one because of the price of it. Ordered a dip that had a spicy qurso, regular queso, and a bowl of salsa in it. The spicy queso wasn't very spicy and the normal queso didnt have a lot of flavor. I preferred there spicy salsa more than their normal salsa. So wasn't totally impressed with that trio I started out with. I got a fish that had a little bit of everything. Chicken, beef, and cheese enchilada. A taco, a beef tamale, and a cheese filled and fried pablano. Had queso as thw sauce i wanted served on top of it. Wasn't able to eat half of it which was my plan. I wanted to take food home for later. The cheese filled pablano was alright. The breading on it was kinda greasy. Taco was full and the meat had good flavor. The chicken enchilada was my favorite. Moist chicken and very filled enchilada. The cheese one I could have done without and the beef enchilada was good but had lots of grease coming out of it. Overall it was just a mediocre visit. Wish I hadn't had to put my dish in my lap in order to eat it. Would have give 3 stars if they would have given us a better table to sit at.

Great good selection. Something for everyone in the family. Good place for families or a a day out with friends. Portions are huge! And the prices are super reasonable. Their margaritas are great. I have always had great service.

Well in my continuing quest for great Mexican Cuisine Today marks that spot ! A great nice looking restaurant clean as a surgery room Our waiter Colton took great care of us as we had to wait on our daughter and our precious granddaughter Now to the food I ordered the lunch special of Ground beef taco and a cheese enchilada Let me tell you it was probably the best since my return to the great state of texas The lunch hour wasn't packed so you can have a nice conversation without battling the masses

Cinco de Mayo Celebration
Chuck M.

Let's celebrate Cinco de Mayo! My wife and I hadn't been to Abuelo's in quite a while and decided to dine there since we were in the area and it WAS Cinco de Mayo. We ordered some queso to start the celebration off with along with a couple of their special margaritas. I love the variety of sauces that Abuelos serves. Mixing sauces is a lot of fun with their thin crispy tortilla chips. I even like their green sweet sauce. Their queso was wonderful, creamy and gooey, just like we like it. My wife decided on the chicken fajita taco platter and I opted for the Juarez platter. It had a crispy beef taco, tamale and two enchiladas, one chicken and one cheese. Both platter came with rice and beans. I decided to order Abuelos "Papas con Chile" instead of beans. I always enjoy them. for a change every now and then. Both of our entrées were delicious and served on piping hot platters. That's always a nice touch at Abuelos, the food always comes out HOT. My wife and I had a very enjoyable visit to Abuelos to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. Our server took excellent care of us while we were there. Thank you Abuelos for a very enjoyable relaxing evening.

Enchilada Platter
Angela K.

We don't do alot of chain restaurants but we were in the area and craving Mexican. Our server was the best and on top of everything. You get three types of salsa with chips and all three were delicious. We ordered enchiladas and fajitas and they did not disappoint. The beef fajitas were seasoned beautifully and so tender!!! You get all the toppings and it is definitely enough food for two. I got the papas con chili (?) and they were so so good! Tortillas were a little disappointing but easily overlooked because everything else was so perfect!!!

Jonathan L.

Great location off hulen street. The service was top notch and the restaurant was very clean. I ordered a platter for $22.50 which was literally ridiculous in size. It was fresh and hot and 100% worth the price. I would highly recommend this location

This is fajitas for one and there "was" enough meat to feed 3!  Great taste and quality.

Food- excellent! Service- AMAZING! Emma at the bar was phenomenal. Very attentive and super sweet! Manger-Chad Edwards (super awesome) just overall experience was great. Great food, great atmosphere and over the top service.

Disappointed for a couple of different reasons. - we wanted to sit outside on the patio and they sat us in a table that was filthy. Chips and rice everywhere on the ground under our feet when there were plenty of other table options near that were clean. Also major delays for getting our drinks and chip refills when it felt like we were the only people out there. - the food just sucked. It felt like everything that came to our table was cold and completely rid of seasoning. We ordered the blackened tilapia tacos and that was the best thing we had all night. The chicken enchiladas were a joke. We asked for the sour cream on the side and they decided to just bring out the chicken wrapped in the tortilla and that's it. Not really sure how they thought that would go... beans were cold and rice was meh. No cheese no vegetables nothing else. - I ordered a margarita with a double pour of tequila. Our server came back and said she was instructed by her manager that she can't do doubles and they would have to charge me for another drink and put the tequila in a shot glass instead of having the bartender mix it in. Never in my life have I had someone refuse to make a double. I was curious why this place was so dead on a Friday night but now it makes perfect sense. It's just not a good restaurant. Save your $$ and go eat somewhere else.

The fact that they charge for chips and salsa helped me round down my 3.8 to 3. Sorry guys but that's nit picky and non traditional. Greedy? Maybe. There are tons of other places but if you end up here it'll do the trick.

The beans had a lot going on and included ingredients that probably should be mentioned when ordering. She thought the fries were decent, but said the birria tacos were just okay and that she's had much better elsewhere in the area. The service is good and straightforward. You walk up to order, grab a seat, and wait for your buzzer to go off. One thing to note: if you order drinks, keep an eye out for them because they're not brought to your table. As for my meal, I tried the mushroom, shrimp, and pastor tacos. The pastor was underwhelming, and the shrimp was overcooked. The mushroom taco was easily the standout and will definitely be my go-to if I come back. The weather will soon be nice for enjoying the patio, but there's also plenty of indoor seating available.

Service was friendly, attentive, and somehow kept everything moving even when the place was slam packed The food was fresh, flavorful, and served in portions that make you wonder if you accidentally ordered for two people. If you're craving Tex-Mex, cold drinks, and a lively atmosphere, Pappasito's rarely misses. Come hungry, leave happy, and don't be surprised if you end up taking home leftovers. Hot tip, this place is always busy. The bar area has high tops that are first come first serve. I dont believe they take reservations. Its more of a join the waitlist type of place.

Such a terrible experience.
