Food is amazing! Service is amazing! We moved here from San Diego and have been on the hunt for good Mexican food, and we found it!! Breakfast burritos are bomb and we tried all the tacos and they were just like home! We found our new spot! Muchas Gracias La Cocina de la Abuela...see you soon! read more

My husband and I really love their breakfast burritos. They're cooked to order and you can customize them with a variety of beans, rice, fried eggs, and your choice of meat, which we really appreciate. One thing we did find a bit interesting was the portion difference. When dining in, the burritos are easily about 3x the size compared to the ones we ordered to go--even though the price is the same. They're definitely tasty, but at $14.50 per burrito (especially when one of ours was vegetarian), it does feel a little pricey for the portion when ordering takeout. Ambiance is nice but they could turn the music down slightly, we can't bring our kids inside because it's just too loud. Service does take about 15-30 minutes even to go. read more

Customer service is great, the food isn't. When you order beans with a meal, they clearly open a can and that's what you get. The rolled tacos were soggy, and the flavors were mediocre at best. Yuck. By the way, they're really expensive for not good food. read more

I was on my way to Del Taco across the street and I saw this gem when looking both ways to cross and decided to go here and get REAL tacos instead and I was not disappointed. Excited to try their other items. Service was very fast and food was fresh, real ingredients read more

just WOW!!! i must say that i regret having waited so long to try this place. small, clean, no frills establishment w/limited seating and a decent selection of menu items. i had the cabeza tacos & barbacoa tacos, & my companion had the breakfast burrito. we were floored! the barbacoa tacos were tasty, although i felt like they could use more salt, but my companion loved them as they were. the burrito was large and in charge! packed with flavor and generous with the yummy fillings. but - wait - the stars of the show were the cabeza tacos. i am not exaggerating when i say that this was a full-on orgasmic "i'll have what she's having" experience. it's been 3 hours and i am pining for them already & unfortunately they're closed on sundays, so i am s.o.l. the meat was so tender, fatty, and divinely flavorful that it will make your cabeza spin and your taste buds scream for more. go! go! go! read more

La cocina de la abuela - Caldo de rez - Mexican Near Me - Lone Tree, Colorado

An old friend of mine mentioned this place on NextDoor. We had planned to go to Sabrosura de Miami for Cubanos, but they have, sadly, closed. This place is close to the house! We were greeted by cheerful music outside (it's much quieter inside) and went to the counter to place our orders. This is a tiny place next to a 7-11. Food is made to order. I had a Coke, simply because I have never tried a Mexican Coke. I'm not a soda drinker, but it was okay. The chicken quesadilla was LOADED with crispy, melted, delicious queso. There's not a lot of chicken, but the cheese made up for it. The tacos al pastor were perfection. I could only manage one after half a quesadilla, but it was SO good! Took the other three home. They use white corn tortillas. The salsa accompanying the quesadilla and tacos was spicy and yummy. Totally not a fancy place, but REALLY good food. And generous quantities for a reasonable price, unlike My Neighbor Felix. I'm so happy that we found a place for yummy Mexican food that's less than 10 minutes away! read more

I absolutely love this spot! The breakfast burritos are sooooo good and the service is always extremely friendly. Me and my girlfriend come here anytime we're in the Lone Tree area, it's absolutely worth the trip over here. The vibe is very laid back and homey, you seriously can't go wrong stopping by to eat here read more

A very quaint and clean eatery. I have had breakfast there twice now. The first time was a chorizo breakfast burrito. This morning, the breakfast tacos. Both visits served excellent food. It doesn't appear that the food is pre-prepared. For example, this morning I watched momentarily as my tacos were prepared. The bacon and chorizo were put fresh on the flattop, the eggs followed. Four tacos on doubled corn tortillas, eggs, choice of meat, and cheese. Served with your choice of salsa- mild or hot. They were delicious! It goes without saying that the burrito very tasty as well. My new "go to" for simple Mexican home cooking! read more

Alright second visit here was just as amazing and we got the lunch burritos. We both had the asada (steak) burrito and again these are some huge burritos and will fill you up and leave you some leftovers. The guys here are very nice as well. It is small inside but they have a few tables if you want to stay and eat. I love the salsas they give you to go as well and as I said before I have a new favorite burrito joint and it's right down the street! read more

They open up at 8 am. Got here 5 till and waited. Few minutes after 8, two guys shows up knocking on the door. Finding out one is the cook, then other bringing in the drinks and supplies. I was the 2nd customer to get in. Got two breakfast burritos smothered and came out to $30. It's adjacent to 7-11. Six tables, 3 more seats against the wall. Does have a restroom for customers. Drink choices were bottled drinks of Jarritos, Mineral Agua and Mexcian Cokes. Also canned coke. $15 per smothered burrito was 4 stars. Loaded with chorizo and comes with sour cream. Surprised to find beans in my breakfast burritos, but it was small amount. Green chile medium heat was just right too. read more

Well, this place is more of the definition of hole in the wall. He has passed by it over 200 times, never noticed it. It is in a small strip mall, shared by a barbershop and 7-11. They have a small Internet presence - mainly a few social media platforms, I guess relying on word of mouth. It works for them - they have only about 5 tables with a maybe a 6 top bar or something like 12-14 top long table. The tables were full and two people were seated at the long table when we arrived. We decided on the Chicken Quesadilla, Asada Tacos, and Barbacoa Tacos. We grabbed our drinks and sat down. In a few minutes, they were bringing us the quesadilla and tacos - served with slices of lime and a salsa verde. The food was delicious, the salsa verde had a nice heat. The quesadilla had a little grease dripping as I ate it, making it feel more like homemade than purchased in a restaurant. The steak in the tacos was moist, flavorful. The staff was very friendly and patient while we looked over the menu at the counter to order. The restaurant was bright, with some televisions to watch, and a loudspeaker outside playing music to draw you in. We are looking forward to our next visit to La Cocina de la Abuela! read more

Updated review! Oh my holy heckfire. I still cannot believe that this restaurant - located literally connected to 7-11 - is as wonderful as it is. We have been here a handful of times and, every time, the food is out of this world. There are always Hispanic locals in and out like a turnstile, so you know it's authentic. What started out as a little old woman making food on a cooktop by herself has turned into a full-blown chow house, complete with a huge speaker out front flaunting Mexican music to pull you in. The door rings with a classic bell sound every time someone walks in or out. The sound of happy Spanish chatter amongst the guests is exhilarating. They have 5 tables and an eat-at long, table bar. They also have four TV's, which is a little excessive for such a small space, but you can't hear them anyway because of all of the noise. Their drink options consist of water and sodas (including Jarritos). We have ordered many things before, but today, we ordered 4 tacos (Cabeza, Pollo, Al Pastor, and Chorizo), and a Carne Asada smothered burrito. The food was made to order. No reheating of anything here. To-go service was fast and everyone thanked us on the way out. 10/10 read more

Been living in Colorado for two years now and have yet to find a great Mexican restaurant until I found this one, very authentic very great service will come back again and again read more

Smothered burrito was great! I came to 7-11 yesterday (attached to Abuelas, and unusually loud music was playing here. I'm not sure the owners have quite gotten the culture here, but maybe that's part of the ambience. Regardless, this place was busy at 9 am. Lots of take-out breakfast burritos. I prefer lunch/dinner menu so wasn't sure what I'd get. I ended up with a carne asada (great rice and beans in perfect accompaniment) and smothered in an absolutely complimentary wonderful green sauce. I assumed Chile Verde, but got something clean, wonderful and initially I just thought "comfort food". $17.52 and I received a quarter from $18. (Female owner is the cook and covering the cash register). The guy was getting supplies and when he came in it seemed more welcoming. Regardless. I loved this place (prefer soda fountain, but maybe that will come in time!). Thank you! read more

We visited the restaurant for lunch and ordered a vegetarian burrito and a carnitas burrito. The service was friendly and quick. Restaurant interior is bright and clean with a few tables and chairs. The menu has a wide variety of choices - breakfast items, tacos, burritos, quesadillas, tortas and more! Good selection of bottled drinks - Coke, Jarritos, etc. Our burritos were large and had just the right amount of hot sauce. Do yourself a favor and visit Abuela's for some delicious food. read more

We went here craving a good breakfast burrito. This place did not disappoint. The food was quite good,and the burritos were hefty. My wife had a veggie breakfast and I had the chorizo. Flavorful and filling. Clearly a favorite for locals, seems a bit pricey at $11.25 each. read more

That was a solid burrito, just had the chorizo burrito, very tasty, careful with the chili, it can be super spiced for some; I thought it was perfect. I ordered mine without beans, just cuz preference. it was very large, it's been about 10 minutes and I am still full. Also be prepared to wait for some time, looks like only two guys but they are both very friendly and have great attitudes. Will definitely be coming back. read more

My order was horrid. The Chicharones couldn't have been fresh. They were old & chewy. The relleno was supposed to be crispy, which surely at one point in time like a week ago it was. It was soggy. And I do not like taco seasoned ground beef in a stuffed sopapilla. Taco meat is for tacos or enchiladas period. Otherwise it takes from the flavor of the green chili. Will not order from here again. Yucka mucka! read more

Tasty food, the burritos are big. To the cook only, Just careful with the beans and rice it had a little not noticeable smoky flavor.

This place deserves much more love than this. The cabeza tacos are amazing and the barbacoa is incredibly tender. The service has always been outstanding, the older lady who always serves us is the absolute sweetest person. We come here constantly and we just found the place less than a month ago. read more

Service was slow and the menudo was awful! It tasted like it had been warmed up for several days. It was yellow in color and had grease floaters. The staff offered other plates but not without stating that I was the only one who complained about their menudo. Unfortunately, I paid before I was served and I did not trust their offer. The staff did not offer a refund either. read more

Absolutely loved what we ordered. Authentic and yummy. Could t believe we almost skipped it because it was in a 7-11.

They charged me $15.33 for 4 street tacos. If you look online it shouldn't be more than $12.00. So just beware they don't care and will and are ripping people off. I write this b/c I have gone there for a few years and 4 tacos was $9.00 then I saw they raised it to 12, but 15 they're out of their minds and honestly they aren't that good. I'll never be back! read more

This is a hidden local gem. The food is deliciously authentic, scratch made, and flavorful. It might be hard to miss given the small location connected to a 7-11 gas station. But don't pass up the chance for a fantastic variety of tastes! read more

Excellent, amazing, authentic fresh cooked Mexican food! Guarantee ic you try you will love

great authentic mexican food. plate of the day 100% always recommended. small , family owned restaurant definitely a hidden gem

So I have never used yelp but I had to leave a review because I saw other reviews. If you want a true Mexican experience there is none better. As a Hispanic it is literally like watching my grandmother cook for me again. I live near this place and go there once in a while because I know everytime what I'm getting. Amazing home cooked and truly authentic food. La Abella is the sweetest hardest working woman I've seen since my Abella and one of the best cooks I've seen as well. Prices are completely reasonable and it might take a little time sometime but again it's a grandma in the kitchen and it's worth the wait. The burritos and Quesadillas are amazing but literally everything is great. In case you aren't sure what the specials are(which sadly sometimes I dont since i dont always know the spanish name for things) they now have pictures. Just get ready to be suprised they look just as good in person as they do in the pictures. Could not recommend this place more. Try it and enjoy. read more
