Bottom dish is tilapia plate. Top is street tacos
Andrew T.

This is a cute restaurant hidden in Wolfforth. When you walk in, it definitely feels authentic. I think the prices are fair. The food did not amaze me though. I thought it was average and I finished it, but I don't think it was good enough to come back. The workers were friendly. Two of my major complaints has that it took a long time to get my order. This could be a good sign because it means all the food is made fresh and hot. But it definitely took longer than expected, especially since the restaurant was empty, and I was the only customer. The other complaint for me is that the food is very greasy/oily.

The chicken fajitas for two is fantastic!

We found this place not far from our house and decided to try it. We were so glad that we did! Service is friendly, fast, and professional. The restaurant is very clean and well kept. From the moment you walk in, you feel welcome in their nicely decorated, but casual environment. Plenty of festive music, it not too loud. Chips and salsa are very good, and they usually bring two different kinds of salsa. We've only had the fajitas, but they are really good! Good cuts of chicken, tons of vegetables, all perfectly cooked. Also plenty of food for two people to share, and at a reasonable price. Will be regular customers, for sure!

Chips & Salsa

The Resturant is a small family owned buisness. It's very quaint and the service is amazing. The food takes a little time but more time to talk :) the drink Piña is really good and comes in a cute cup. The Sopapillas are good option if you want dessert as well!

Medium Menudo-you have a choice between corn tortillas, pan, and crackers, my personal fave

I freaking love this restaurant! I grew up around Odessa, Texas, so I was a little spoiled when it comes to Mexican food. Lubbock has some nice places, but I've never found "the one," until NOW! I love the menudo, the tacos-tripa for me, and carnitas and bistec for my husband...the queso blanco, all the salsas. The only thing I don't like is all the running I'm going to have to do to work off all the calories I consume! PS-The staff is awesome and super helpful. They have a rewards program as well-for frequent flyers.

Sometimes you just want classic Tex-Mex done right--and Abuelo's delivers exactly that kind of…read morecomforting, crowd-pleasing experience. We started with the house chips and salsa trio, which is always a win here. The chips were warm and crisp, and the variety of salsas--from bright and fresh to deeper and more roasted--made it easy to keep reaching for "just one more." A solid way to kick things off. For my main, I went the veggie route, and honestly, this was the standout of the meal. The sizzling vegetable fajitas arrived steaming hot and loaded with broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms, peppers, tomatoes, and squash--perfectly cooked, well-seasoned, and served on a cast-iron skillet that kept everything hot down to the last bite. Colorful, hearty, and surprisingly satisfying, even without meat. The rest of the table went more traditional with enchiladas, rice, beans, guacamole, and queso, and everything looked generous and comforting in that familiar, crave-worthy Tex-Mex way. Portions are filling, flavors are approachable, and it's easy to find something for everyone at the table. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with a lively bar area and cozy booths that make it a great spot for a casual dinner, family outing, or low-key night out. Service was friendly and efficient, and everything came out exactly as expected. Abuelo's may be a familiar name, but when you're in the mood for reliable Tex-Mex, solid vegetarian options, and a relaxed, welcoming vibe, it absolutely hits the mark.

Perfection! The food, the atmosphere, the service, all superb! Servers are efficient and…read moreknowledgeable.
