    YUM-MIEEEE! One word! I stumbled across this Gem and decided to give it a try. Abuelos is the "Go-To" spot to be in T-Town for that Mexican food craving!! They didn't disappoint. Tried their Alambre Lunch, 3 Fire Grilled Shrimp Plate for $17.49. OMG! So flavorful!! I enjoyed it so much, my mouth is watering just thinking about the flavor to write into words... so SO good! Also tried their Raspberry Hibiscus Margarita for $12.50... Spectacular! I will definitely be back!

    Hostesses-little incentive. Waitress Anna was Superb, courteus & professional & informative. Made our dining a pleasure. Large dining area good ambiance. The chips and three salsas were excellent. Regular, Pineapple green, & spicy.Good enough for me to buy a quart of the green & spicy. The Queso had a great consistency and flavor. Nice thin chips. We had the beef fajitas without bells peppers and with black beans. The beef was tender and Marinated in an appealing seasoning. In addition, we had a watermelon margarita that was very tasty, not too sweet or tart. The hand shaken platinum margarita complemented the meal.

    Baked Veggie Quesadilla

    Oh my gosh! This food was AMAZING! The black beans were the best I've EVER had!!! By the way, I eat a lot of them. They were tender and full of flavor. The 3 of us had Chicken Fajita Tacos, a baked Veggie Quesadilla, and a Senior Menu Enchilada and Taco. Service was great and the atmosphere upscale and clean. We will be back as this is now out favorite Mexican Restaurant in Tyler!

    This restaurant is overpriced for the food served. The waiter, doubling as bartender, was not well trained.

    Food was below average. Salad had water in the bottom of the bowl. Greeters were unpleasant.

    Are they using real plates and flatware or disposable items?

    They use beautiful “real plates and flatware.” The food is amazing and the staff are awesome. Give it a try!

    I had the chicken enchilada Vente. It was excellent for huge enchiladas…read more Our waitress was superb. Her name was Keri ask for her Very Authentic Mexican restaurant

    It was a very busy Saturday night but they were not fully booked. I think proper training for the…read morestaff is important especially to keep the experiences the same for all customers. My appetizer was missing some stuff that I saw another waitress carry out (the same appetizer) fully loaded. Esquites is messy without a spoon, my friends. Everything felt messy and the napkins were not easy to ask for when everyone is running by. The prices on the menu do not match what is charged. I'm not sure why but our meal was a lot less expensive than anticipated, not a bad thing, but I wish the prices were clear because I would have ordered something different. Speaking of the menu, dang. That thing is a beast! It took me so long just to get through it and decide what I wanted. If you can find an online version study up! The food was quick and fresh. I have no complaints there! The soft-serve margarita was everything I hoped it would be. Lastly, the restroom ruined my whole night. It is a cesspool and thinking of the staff also washing and using the facilities makes me cringe. I can only speak for the ladies room when I say the temperature was a good 20 degrees warmer than the rest of the building. There was NO circulation, so guess what? All the stank stays in the stall. I'm sorry I don't know how else to explain what I experienced but I had to go home and shower.
