Thankfully our local friend provided us with the details for Chuys. The decor on the inside really leans into the 1950s/1960s Americana vibe that's often associated with Lubbock without leaning into kitsch territory. The table we were at took about 5-10 minutes to clear up for us and once we were seated we felt right at home. Food came out hot and exactly as expected. The server also recommended that I HAD to try the local concoction adult beverage that apparently is a staple of this location. It was a nice treat and a quick way to feel at home. Our bill was also not exorbitantly high, which is also something else to note about this place. You'll get your dollar to go far while here. Parking is convenient right off the highway and in a large shared parking lot.

The queso was a 7 of 10 and the jalapeno ranch salsa was 6 of 10 but it may be my flavor profile favors a NM style or a Mexican take on flavors. This place is fun and the decor is reflective of that. The bathrooms were accessible and a changing table is available. The decor was next favorite to the service which was outstanding! They can accommodate groups in side rooms which gives your group privacy and space for enjoying your meal. The kitchen and floors looked well kept and clean. The tortillas were better than store bought but not momma made level. I would give them that they were better than most Tex mex fast food. They have a children's menu and the prices are reasonable.

The service was prompt and attentive which was surprising since they were quite busy during our visit. I noticed Lobster Corndogs on the menu and had to give them a try. Wow it was three lobster tail pieces breaded in corndog breading, fried and served with an aioli on top. Such a surprise of flavors and taste. This place has a good selection of menu items and a full bar available. Definitely a nice place to grab dinner in Lubbock.

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.

No professionalism, no explanation, just an attitude and a power trip. Instead of managing actual issues, this employee chose to harass paying customers. If this is how Chimy's trains their staff to treat people, don't waste your time or money. Worst customer service I've experienced in a long time. Can't enjoy one minute with the guy that has a mustache, tall and skinny. Even after he kicked us out he walked to the outside patio and blew a kiss towards myself and my group when we were already over it and leaving. He clearly did it to impose power and was so rude and aggressive the whole time we were there. multiple people were complaining, even other staff members.

The locations in Houston/Katy, staff are always attentive and ask if you need help when you self-order, which I appreciate.
