We ordered medium well.
Willaford M.

Meal on Sunday afternoon at 2 pm. The food has been consistently well prepared. We come for the Australian sea bass with Guerrero sauce. More increasingly, the service and time to table has become unacceptable. Timetable after sitting: 3 minutes to server acknowledgement 8 minutes later drinks arrived Appetizers within 5 minutes 48 minutes after ordering, food arrived. First time having server come to our table since we got our drinks. 14 minutes waiting for our first refill and Tabasco sauce. Finally ready to eat my cold sea bass. Ask them to warm it in the microwave. We ordered medium well steak. After waiting this long, my son no longer wants to wait for a remake and will just be eating fast food on the way home. Unfortunately, the days of Abuelo's being a more upscale restaurant are behind us. The price per meal is still the same with small increases for certain items. The restaurant floor is horribly unkept even with the restaurant mostly empty.

The last time i was at abuelo's was 20 years ago at its original location. The old location had a more authentic mexican style. The staff and waiter was very nice. Service was okay, he forgot to bring us back more salsa. My enchilada plate was kinda salty, definitely not the best enchiladas in the world. Seems kinda busy, which is good.

Vegetarian review- this place is just wow! The service was so fast! They took our drink orders…read moreimmediately upon sitting, then quickly came back to take our order, and the food magically appears in like 5 minutes! We were shocked! It was so quick! I love that kind of service! We were given complimentary chips and salsa. I got the veggie enchiladas, and my oh my! The plate was huge! 3 enchiladas with squash, onion, tomato, with rice and beans on the side. I ate half and took the other half home. The building was cute, trendy, clean, and lively. The floor was a bit slippery. If I ever come to midland again I will come back for sure!

Here we go again. This place goes from good to bad, then back to good every few months. This time…read moreit was bad. My wife is allergic to gluten. She has found that she can eat the regular tacos and they're fine. Last night she ordered the regular taco meal and the waitress brought out brisket tacos. My wife asked it they were gluten free and the waitress went back into the kitchen to verify it. When she came back she informed us that, yes, everything was indeed gluten free. She also said that she would take care of the ticket so that we were not charged the additional fee for the brisket tacos. Turns out that they DID charge extra for the brisket tacos (which we went ahead and paid) and my wife got sick about 2 hours later and had an upset stomach for most of the night. So, they lied about charging the additional fee for something we did not order, and they apparently made my wife sick. Will we go back? Yes! When hell freezes over. WE ARE SO DONE WITH THIS PLACE!!!!!

Food is really good, but we ordered the plate with all the types of sauces to try…read more The waitress brought it out with all of them splattered onto a plate with them all running together, instead of like the little cups. It's a little hard to try them that way because you can't really "dip" your chips either. Lol There were three of us, but we didn't even try them at that point. It was a horrible looking presentation to say the least. . We also ordered one meal that we changed the sauce on, and were charged $2... wow! Was surprised about that. Maybe because it's more popular? Not sure. We'll be back, but maybe the waiters/waitresses should let people know when there's an upcharge for something. Ambience? It's a busy place! No ambience. lol

Restaurants display tip calculations based on the post-tax total primarily to increase tip revenue,…read moreusing the final receipt total as a convenient justification. In my opinion, while this practice may be technically legal, it is deliberately deceptive and takes advantage of diners who may not realize they are tipping on an inflated base amount. Chuy's in Midland, TX uses this inflated tactic - review your receipts people. With that said, although it took some time to come out, the food wasn't that good; perhaps it was because it was cold. Regards, Matt
