Thank you Kara for taking care of our party of 20!to celebrate a 90th birthday! She did a great job getting drinks, taking orders and overall being efficient with that many orders! We were able to order off the lunch menu which was nice to offer on a Saturday afternoon. The only issue we really had was nothing to do with service or food. Groups of 6 were sat so close to us some of us barely could get out of our seats or Kara could not get through to get to our drinks etc. also I wish a change would be made in using the private room. $1,000 minimum for food and drinks is a lot for 20 people not ordering a lot of alcohol. read more

Abuelo's Mexican Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Hurst, Texas

All I can say is YUM! We were in the area off of Precinct line Rd, and wanted to find something for lunch, once we settled on Mexican, we then used Yelp to find something near by, and Abuelo's was literally around the corner, and boy I am happy we decided to give it a try! Hubs got the Enchilada lunch, selecting beef and he was very satisfied, everything tasted fresh, and was cooked to perfection, along with looking so visually appealing. Oh, also, their chips and salsa are a TREAT, if you've never been they bring a trio of salsa's, one is a tomatillo based, sweetened with pineapple, it's so bright and fresh, and actually surprised me, I don't believe I have ever had sweet, green salsa, every one at the table should like this, they also have a mild, traditional red salsa, and a smoky, roasted, medium spiciness salsa, all three were delicious! I got the Fresco Salad, and chose beef fajita for my protein. Look, I am not a huge salad lover, but it sounded good, and I was looking for something on the lighter side, UM, WOW! Honestly I can't stop thinking about it lol, first of all it's huge, I was only able to eat about 1/4 or maybe even a little less, before I had to give up, and ask for a box. There was enough left that the next day, I made small quesadillas and split the rest with my hubs for lunch and we both were stuffed. The salad was fresh and crisp, the flavors including the dressing that automatically comes with it is the perfect match up of flavors. I really need to find an Abuelo's while out of town next week lol. Our service was great, Tony was very attentive and helpful, always made sure our beverages were full, and friendly. I will ask for his section the next time we visit! To wrap things up, know that the portions are generous, the food is on point, and the restaurant is large, so they can accommodate groups and parties, the atmosphere is lovely, and decor beautiful and festive , I hope you give them a try. read more

Would've been five stars, but they messed up my wife's order by bringing her beans (she doesn't eat beans) instead of her papas con chile with her three enchiladas. They remade the plate for her, which meant we weren't eating at the same time. Luckily my chile rellenos were steaming hot, so I was able to eat slow. Other than that, food was big and good, and service was consistent, read more

Meet a friend here for dinner a week ago and what a nice experience it was. The staff we had contact with was superb, especially Patrick, our waiter. Patrick was, quite honestly, a breath of fresh air when there are so many out there that are negative. The food was amazing just as I've experienced in other visits. As well, the restaurant has a nice, clean, fresh, inviting atmosphere. I'll be back for sure! read more

I always recommend the food is delicious. I love their chili with the spicy pork. That's so tasty, I really like the light green sauce cause it's refreshing but they have three sauce flight that you can get. It's delicious. Really anything's good here I love their empanadas if you just want something small. They always have great service and it's a beautiful restaurant. They're always good to have large parties at or small conversations at the bar. read more

Found this place right by my hotel. Was originally gonna get BWWs before watching sports but was deterred by negative reviews. All worked out extremely well. Lori took amazing care of me. Enchiladas had a very nice meaty texture to them. Chicken tampiquena was filled with flavor. Don't know how they managed to make grilled chicken taste so good, but I was very satisfied. Strongly recommend it here. We don't get Mexican restaurants like this in NY. read more

For larger parties, Abuelos is definitely an accommodating place. We had a bridal party about 30ish people in town and they set us up with a room for ourselves which was great. The service was impeccable. The staff was very attentive, food came out quick, and drinks kept flowing as we wanted. With larger parties, it's always hit or miss with service but Abuelos is a hit! The food was great. I had the steak and enchiladas and it was delicious. The steak was cooked exactly as I requested (medium rare) and the enchiladas were tasty. You get your own choice of enchiladas so I got the shredded beef and regular beef ones. Both were great. Don't skip out on the potatoes! That was what I enjoyed a lot as far as sides go. Their dipping cheese for chips was okay, but I don't tend to fill up on chips and dip. Highly recommend. Nice place and great food! read more

I have to say I was skeptical about eating Mexican food in Texas since I'm not a fan of Tex Mex but this place is very good . It may not be authentic Mexican, but their fiesta bowl was so good . Very good quality ingredients. Their chips and salsa were also pretty good . Definitely recommend it . Shout out to Grace , she's a fantastic server and made a great recommendation. I hate when servers can't give an honest opinion. But she was great with that and overall just a great person! read more

Abuelo's Mexican Restaurant - Fresca Bowls (pork) - Mexican Near Me - Hurst, Texas

I am moving to the area so I decided to try one of the local restaurants with my toddler. Although the server was nice, she was very slow and extremely forgetful...which are both crucial elements when dining with a toddler. As an example, I told her I didn't eat beef and after biting into my taco... guess what it had! Nobody had any urgency, including the hostess who didn't bother to tell me she hadn't "found" a supervisor until after I asked her - this was after she left me standing there while she sat 3 more families. Also, what's up with not providing a bag to carry your leftovers in? read more

My first visit to Abuelo's and it was amazing! The staff was on point and the star of my experience was Grace. She knew the menu and knowing we were first timers, pointed out options, and answered our questions with ease. She was also training a new server and was great at it. They took great care of us, checking on us and keeping our drinks topped off. We started with warm crispy chips and a flight of 3 salsas , mild salsa, a fiery smoked version (my fave), and a green tomatillo salsa. We ordered the queso trio with guacamole, yellow queso and a spicy cheese queso. The kicker was that it was served with fried pork skins (Chicharrón) to dip with! Ohh it was so delicious. Our entrees were huge. I had the chili relleno with charro beans and mashed potatoes. I know, mashed potatoes at a Mexican restaurant?? But Grace told me to try them and if I didn't like them, she would replace them with something else. She wasn't wrong! Those were the best I have had in a while. My wife got 2 enchiladas with rice and beans and my daughter had two enchiladas and two beef tacos. They raved about them. The experience was amazing and the price was more than reasonable. read more

Abuelo's Mexican Restaurant - Three salsas and the Chile con Queso flight. - Mexican Near Me - Hurst, Texas

Abuelo has a wonderful menu. On the Tex-Mex section of the menu my favorites under Platters are Durango Burrito and Chile Rellenos. I wanted an order for carry out and they have an entry exclusively for carry out that was pretty useless on Thursday night. I stood there about 4 or 5 minutes. A server on her way to the kitchen saw me, never broke stride and headed into the kitchen. I left for the main entrance and walked up to an unattended host stand. I wasted very little time there and went to the bar to place my order. So basically the service at this location was pretty atrocious. I ordered the Puebla Aztecta from the Combinations portion of the menu. It's a cheese chile relleno, a chicken enchilada and a beef empanada. I got it with beans and Mexican rice. The food was delicious, the service was terrible and the restaurant is beautiful. read more

I have always appreciated the consistency and quality from Abuelo's in Hurst. Last time I decided to have a margarita and ordered the El Jeffe margarita. When I got it, I noticed an orange slice in it and charred black ,burnt bits floating around in it. I understand the idea is to grill the orange slice like maybe it's gonna bring out some kind of flavor. I think I'm OK with that, but I was not OK with literally burning the orange slice and putting it in my drink. I brought it up with the waitress. and asked if it could be fixed but that did not happen. I guess I understand if that's just the way the drink comes, but I prefer not to have burnt bit floating around in my drink so if you have an issue with that, it may be something to consider avoiding . Aside from that Abuelos is a great place to eat and I look forward to returning. read more

Brian is an excellent server! He made us feel right at home. The food what I would call Tex Mex (we are from SoCal) and it was really delicious. Very fresh and generous portions without being overwhelming. Beautiful clean space with lots of plants and art. Would recommend! read more

This place was pretty good. We went before the dinner rush, so we were seated right away. The staff was friendly, and our server was entertaining. I also noticed that the restaurant was bigger than it looked from the outside. We placed our order, and the food came out fairly quickly, which I appreciated. I had the enchiladas, one carnitas and one chicken, and we ordered chips and queso for the table. The queso was flavorful, and the chips were warm. I enjoyed the enchilada, although the beans-to-rice ratio was uneven, and there was a lot of rice. I can see this being a great place for a birthday dinner or a similar gathering. The meals were reasonably priced for the portion sizes, and I enjoyed my meal. I am sure there are plenty of other amazing places, but I would definitely go here again. read more

Abuelo's never disappoints! The food and service are consistently great, and I love that everything comes to the table piping hot. My go-to is the Laredo--two enchiladas (I always swap in chicken) with a soft-shell taco--and I also love the fajitas with steak, chicken, and shrimp. The chicken enchiladas from the lunch specials are fantastic too. The nachos grande with chicken are a must-try, and the homemade chips and salsa are always fresh. Drinks are excellent--margaritas, frozen drinks, and a margarita-sangria mix that's surprisingly good! Always a reliable spot for delicious Mexican food. read more

Severe autism discrimination by management at Abuelo's in Hurst, Texas. Our family will never return to this restaurant after the appalling treatment we received from the shift manager. My nonverbal autistic niece experienced brief distress and cried for less than two minutes. We had already fully soothed and quieted her when the shift manager marched over to our table.Instead of showing empathy, he explicitly told us that she "needs to be quieter for the other guests' wellbeing."Targeting a family over a briefly distressed, nonverbal child is a blatant violation of basic human decency and raises serious questions regarding their ADA compliance and accommodation practices for guests with disabilities.If you are a neurodivergent family, be warned that the management at this Hurst location lacks the basic training and empathy required to provide a safe, inclusive dining environment. They urgently need comprehensive neurodiversity training. Absolutely unacceptable. read more

From the time you enter til you live you with be welcomed warmly. My beef enchiladas with queso, refried beans and papas (mashed potatoes) was scrumptious! They are friendly and take good care of customers. This became my disabled elderly dad's favorite place and the manager would often help me get him into the car. I bought my 4 year old granddaughter and she ate very well. They serve 3 types of salsa, my favorite is the regular red. The green has pineapple, that's my sisters fave. Dad loved the spicy red. My vegan daughter has no problem finding food she can eat hear. I highly recommend them. read more

This restaurant serves delicious and tasty food, with big portions so that the deliciousness never ends. The service I received was very welcoming and my server Lori was awesome! She even helped me set up my account for the rewards program, and was exceptionally generous with such an astounding energy. All parts of the my dinner was delicious, from the appetizer to the hearty entrees. When I was at a loss at what to get for dessert, Lori praised their Flan dessert, claiming it was "the best flan in the world". To test this claim I ordered it and as a Mexican I can say that it is the best flan I have ever tried. The flan that is served here has set the bar high and is my new standard when it comes to flan. It's the fluffiest and most creamy flan I've ever had. So if you're looking for a place that serves great food and exceptional service with a warming ambiance, don't waste your time looking elsewhere and GO HERE! A huge thanks for Lori in expanding my food pallet enjoyment! read more

In all fairness, the food at Abuelo's is what keeps us coming back. The lunch menu is excellent, and the salsa and chips are always good. The issue with the Hurst location is that the service is extremely inconsistent. The management staff seems invisible, and I believe that contributes to many of the problems. When you are seated, you're often left wondering who your server will be because you end up waiting far too long just to be greeted. We visited today after the lunch rush to enjoy the 3-5 p.m. happy hour. Nearly ten minutes passed before anyone came to our table. When our server finally arrived, they came empty-handed. We had to request water along with the chips and salsa, and then waited again for those to arrive. Unlike many restaurants where support staff help keep tables stocked with chips, salsa, and drink refills, everything here depends on your server. If they're juggling several tables, it's hit or miss whether you'll ever get a refill on your water or tea. Today, the restaurant wasn't busy and didn't appear to be understaffed. The problem seemed to be poor organization rather than a lack of employees. I understand that every restaurant has new servers who are still learning, and I'm always willing to be patient with that. However, that's exactly why management needs to be visible and engaged--checking on guests, supporting the staff, and making sure customers receive the level of service that keeps them coming back. The food is consistently good, but the service experience at this location simply doesn't match it. read more

This abuelos has a nice party room if you're in need of a place to have a birthday party, baby shower, or meeting. We've also been able to get things Togo for parties and they have always done a great job with those for us. Abuelos was one of the first chain Mexican restaurants in the area to offer veggie fajitas; which made them a go to for my wife. They can get pretty busy, so we do lean a little more into Togo here I'll admit. Though it's nice to meet up for a weekday lunch if possible. read more

Abuelo's Mexican Restaurant - Green Chile Pork Chimichanga - Mexican Near Me - Hurst, Texas

My first visit here was a positive and memorable one. I was greeted within a couple of minutes and seated immediately. The hostess was amiable and professional, and the waitress, Jasmine, was very friendly and attentive. I started with the complimentary chips and salsa for guests. There were three types of salsa; I didn't get their names, but they were all tangy and tasty without being too hot with the spice. After asking, I received a small serving of queso. While I was expecting the queso with white cheese, it came with yellow cheese. Regardless, it was creamy and tangy with bits of peppers, an excellent complement to the chips. Next up were the two lunchtime enchiladas. One was with cheese and the other with guacamole; both had creamy queso poured over the top. On the side was a serving of refried beans and Mexican rice. The cheese enchilada was nice and smooth with a slight tang, and the guacamole enchilada was velvety and had a lovely zing. The refried beans were soft and tasty, and the rice was chunky with carrots, peppers, and corn; both complemented the dish well. The ambiance was welcoming and made me feel like I was in Mexico. There was good architecture and pictures. The music was a collection of upbeat Spanish music. If I ever come to Texas again, I will revisit! read more

Service allows for 3 star instead of 2. The service was in fact, top notch. Really disappointed in my meal issues- and the way they (weren't) handled. I ordered one of the highest priced entrees - a combination bacon wrapped tenderloin medallions (MR) and bacon wrapped stuffed shrimp. The shrimp - lovely! Tenderloin #1 - sadly overlooked. That seemed to be handled well - A recook was requested, a complimentary dessert offered. I'm cool with that - I am not a complainer, really wasn't looking for a handout, just a proper steak. Well, guess that wasn't ok by the kitchen. Replacement tenderloin just barely qualified as rare.... and the bacon was RAW. Yes, RAW. While I'd rather have an undercooked than over cooked steak- NO ONE EATS RAW BACON. I showed my server. He agreed it was inedible. But no one addressed that. read more

My favorite everything at this establishment. The atmosphere, house specials , drinks, rewards and staff make my day!

This is my favorite Mexican restaurant in the DFW area! Their complimentary chips and salsa (3 types) are to die for and combined with the queso, I can't stop eating them. . The steak fajitas arrived sizzling to the table and they were equally delicious. I also sipped on a swirl sangria Margarita since it was 100 degrees outside . Leah was my server and she was nice, efficient, helpful and checked in on me frequently. The dining and bar areas are huge and filled with lots of booths and tables. Everyone was super helpful and nice and they have a huge parking lot. This place definitely deserves 5 stars! read more

There is no doubt why the parking lot stays packed at this place. Abuelo's is throwing down some major tex mex eats in this joint, and you'd be foolish not to join in and catch a case of the itis eating here. After day 1 of a conference down the street from here, I thought about getting Mexican food. The location is perfect - just a hop skip and jump from several hotels near the Hurst Convention Center. If you desire to drive- no worries.The parking lot is massive, and the it the inside is just as spacious with several large areas for big groups. I opted, however, to sit in a booth instead of the bar. I was greeted and seated immediately despite it still being a little crowded from Happy Hour. I was even told my timing was perfect to request a booth because 30 minutes prior, that would not have been the case. This was around 6:30, so it makes sense ( happy hour was over, lol)! I perused the menu for, of course, a drink. I asked for suggestions from the waiter, which did suggest one of their house margs, but when I saw they had sangria, I immediately hopped on it as my choice. It came frozen, which was great since I did walk over to dine. They have two sizes. If I didnt want to get up in the morning, the large would have been great, but I opted for the regular size which was perfect for me to have room to eat my delicious meal, especially since I was given a basket of fresh tortilla chips along with three salsas. I ate the entire basket, of course, because they were so fresh. I was asked if I wanted another basket of tortilla chips, but I turned down the temptation. Instead, I sipped on my frozen sangria and waited (not too long) for my piping hot Laredo plate. Mind you, Mark, my server was so helpful with guiding my decision to choose this entree since my first timer indecisiveness was making me torn between enchiladas or tamales. The taco was also calling my name too. Since I really wanted enchiladas, Mark suggested the Laredo plate that comes with 2 enchiladas of your choice and a beef taco. I asked about the chicken enchilada, which Mark stated was really good, so I went with it. When I tell you that this was the BEST chicken enchilada I've ever tasted! Despite it being filled with dark meat, which I'm not typically a fan of- it was seasoned so well that I forgot my own preferences! I ate it before I knew it! Beef enchilada was on point as well and was just as flavorful. The taco- nice and meaty and still crunchy despite being the last item I ate. I was even blown away by the rice and beans, which were also complimenting to the entree - not too salty but seasoned well. Even the rice was perfectly cooked. My stomach definitely enjoyed this meal, which was 5 star not just because of the food but my server. Mark was very attentive checking on me and ensuring my solo dining experience was impeccable. I wanted for nothing and, even upon exiting, was offered a cup of water to go. He must have known that Sangria was going to hit me soon because soon as I got back to my hotel, I felt really good! Slept like a baby that night, too! Abuelo's is pretty spectacular, but don't be a spectactator- go here and experience the food and service. You will not be disappointed! read more
