abel's mexican restaurant

always so friendly and the food is wonderful too. they have good agua fresca and desserts too. one of my favorites. i highly suggest this restaurant.

one if our favorite mexican restaurants. we travel quite often to ixtapa mexico and the food here is as close to the same as possible. it's the real deal. if you like authentic mexican restaurant check thus place out. try a cold bear in a frosted fish bowl, you won't be disappointed. i usually order the bestek ranchero with cameron's.

great authentic mexican food. found this place by accident after leaving the outlet mall. i got the super grande burrito, it definitely lived up to its name. this burrito can easily be shared with your lady or kids. the staff is friendly and work hard to take care of you.

this place has a good mixture of mexican and tex mex cuisine. the one thing you will most assuredly want to try is the al pastor served in any manner you choose but i personally feel that the taco works best.

since i discovered abel's, i can't stand to eat any other mexican food. we go there at least once a week. the food is delicious, the wait staff is fantastic. i'm trying to eat my way around the menu and everything i've had so far has been wonderful.
try it. you'll be glad you did.

summary:  authentic mexican food, fast & great service, affordable prices

abel's mexican restaurant serves up delicious, hot, authentic mexican food sure to satisfy any palette - it sure did ours!  the building is a little difficult to find, but it is located in the shopping plaza on the southeast corner of 50th and n. macarthur.  the exterior needs a little updating, but i find the colorful, hand-painted (i think) walls and mexican decor to be absolutely charming.  abel's menu compromises of many, many options for everyone; if you want to be a carnivore, veggie or seafood lover, abel's has options for you.  and as long as you buy food, chips, homemade salsa and queso are served as your initial appetizers.  our server (his name escapes me) was fantastic!  he served the entire lunch crowd alone, but was still able to attend to everyone's needs, questions, and deliver the food in a timely, efficient manner - i would say he was definitely accommodating.

as for the food that we ordered, my husband ordered the super grande burrito (chicken) and i got the fajitas combination (shrimp, chicken, steak).  both came within minutes, and were large portions!  they were served hot; husband had to wait a moment before devouring his burrito and mine came out on a sizzling plate.  both tasted delicious.  the fajitas come with rice, beans, guacomole, and sour cream; all tasted like they were homemade and fresh, especially with the tortillas.  in the future, i believe i will still order the fajitas, but i'll choose the steak one; the shrimp and chicken were great, but i think the marinated steak was the best for their fajitas.  oh, and the fajitas came with their homemade tortillas - which were very, very good!  

i know there's a lot of mexican restaurants around, but abel's has always been consistently delicious, fast service, and speedy food delivery.  you really can't go wrong with abel's, so if you haven't tried it, please put this on your wish list and do so.  plus, the prices are so affordable!  great stuff to be had here!

tip:  if you have a meal that serves homemade tortillas (which, by the way, you can request more as long as they are endless), try them with the sweet syrup.  it's a nice, simple 'dessert' you can have at the end without ordering a dessert itself.  

heads up:  be prepared for a lot of food!  their portions are rather large, and in general, mexican food can be heavy.

best food, service.keeping it local since i live in warr acres.real mexican food, not that  tex-mex crap.loyal customers. even all my friends go there.

a beer or two here. take precaution about having a couple of beers here with your meal. the warr acres cops like to show off and pull over drivers. i do not trust this police department and have made my last visit to able's.

food is good but.... food is delicious but make sure you never forget a valuable item there because it will be gone within minutes. dishonest group of people and even the manager with the butterscotch colored brown teeth will lie along with his employees. because of this i refuse to come back and eat.

great find in mexican cuisine. wife an i found by looking for dinner. place was almost full on a sunday evening. we were seated immediately and served in a timely manor very professional. both our meals were excellent. i cooked for years and consider this top noch.

not the best.. i'm from new mexico originally, that being said i take my mexican food seriously.
i went on the internet and asked about the best mexican food in okc. abels popped up and it was fairly close by. i had extremely high hopes for this restaurant.
i ordered the super burrito with chicken and smothered with the sour-cream white sauce because that sauce was recommended. the chicken was dry and tasted like it was taken from a box and heated. the tortilla was not homemade and had that preservative taste. also the rice was bland and flavorless. the high lights were the beans and the white sauce. the service was on point and fast. everyone was attentive. 3 out of 5 stars.

amazing!. one of our favorite places to go if craving authentic mexican food. the tacos calvillo are so flavorful and delicious as are many other things on the menu. service is always great and very attentive. this place is hands down, one of the best in okc! we often compare other mexican restaurants to this one when we venture out.

great date night. jampacked parking lot - always a good sign - yet immediate seating... fast service...wife's enchiladas were fantastic... my supreme chicken nachos were disappointing... meat was chewy & cheese had a sour flavor...but a good experience overall

super grande burrito. a meal all wrapped up in this monster!

awful!!! i'm at a loss aft.... awful!!!
i'm at a loss after reading reviews 'best in town'...obviously people don't get out much. food is mediocre at best, way overpriced for the quality and the staff needs some lessons on customer service. don't waste your money!
