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.

El Banquete - Best Mexican food in Midland!

El Banquete

4.6(35 reviews)

If there is one resource in Midland more abundant than petroleum, it's Tex-Mex food. Seriously,…read moreyou can't swing a dead cat in this town without hitting a Mom and Pop Mexican food joint. And on the south side of town, it may indeed be possible to leap from the roof of one Tex-Mex eatery to another and manage to traverse the entire breadth of the city. Having said that, El Banquete is my personal favorite and a great place for lunch. As is proper for the paradigm, tostadas and salsa are brought to the table prior to ordering. I suggest waiting until your drink order has arrived before indulging, however, as this salsa has an agenda. Made fresh daily, variances in individual chiles mean that this salsa may run the gamut from "Holy Crap! I can't feel my feet!" to "Raiders of the Lost Ark, melt your face off." On my last visit, after one chip doused in the seeded lava, I went on a brief vision quest wherein the ghost of Jimi Hendrix told me I was not necessarily stoned but beautiful. As far as the food goes, everything I've tried has been incredible. The chile rellenos are an unbattered variety, which I initially found odd, but have since grown fond of. The enchiladas are as good as any I've found anywhere. One combo plate features chile verde and asado, both of which are flavorful,fresh, and remarkably spicy. In fact, spiciness is a common factor to most dishes on the menu, so, much as I love this place and its food, I cannot recommend it to those with delicate palettes or to young children. To those with more adventurous tongues, however, I say "Have at thee!" Bear in mind, this is strictly a breakfast and lunch joint. Don't be dissuaded by the realtor's sign in the parking lot. The family is looking at finding a location with more parking. This place is as good as it gets for fulfilling Tex-Mex.

Not easy on the eye but don't let this place fool you. Homemade red enchilada sauce? I'm in…read more Spectacular food. Great service and everything was fresh. Had the pork tacos (Al Carbon) the Chile verde is the house salsa and it's worth it. Extremely spicy so buyer beware. Can't wait to go back! Also the Huevos Rancheros for breakfast is it. The best in the city.

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.
