wait staff sweeping. went to abuelo's in hurst this evening. we normally love this place, but the food was just so so tonight. soon after we were seated the wait staff started sweeping the floor all around us. i can understand them wanting to clean around a table to some degree once patrons have left. we had a guy come over and dust off the rocks and bushes, and the wall right across from us. don't know about you, but i think that is incredibly rude and disrespectful to the folks who are still trying to eat their dinner. i don't think anyone wants a bunch of airborne crap floating around while they are trying to eat. i asked to speak to the manager. he came to the table and i tried to explain to him what was going on. he just stood there with a dumbass grin on his face. i asked him if agreed or not. he just continued to stand there with the same stupid grin. i got the impression he didn't care. didn't get the warm and fuzzy feeling, and sure as hell didn't get an apology. in the future i will be more than happy to take my business down the road.

let down. there were a couple of problems on my last visit. the first is the maintenance (tables, chairs, lights, etc.) we were seated in a corner booth that a florescent bulb that was not working properly (flickering so badly one of my party thought her epilepsy might be triggered). in the past, the manager would have escorted us to a new table and fixed this problem. this time, we had to flag a waitress down who told us that we'd have to rejoin the queue to get another table or just tough it out.

after getting another table, our waiter was nice enough. just normal waiter stuff...nothing wonderful. what really upset me was ordering diet coke (i'm a diabetic) and getting "real" dr. pepper. he actually said, "just drink it, i won't charge you." um, what? i'd like *not* to have to up my insulin that night, thanks.

but the real shock came when i opened the menu...the prices had changed! they were higher. and it seemed that the portions had gotten smaller. it was sticker shock! i ordered the carnitas tacos with seasonal vegetables. the pork was extra fatty and bland. the best thing on my plate? the vegetables! too bad they only gave me 4 medallion pieces of squash and a couple slices of red pepper. all that for $10.98. i was expecting that i would be able to take something home. but alas, nothing.

i was just let down by the whole experience this time. i agree that the food quality seems to have gone down hill. but pair that with crap service and high prices...it's just not worth it. spend your money somewhere they seem to appreciate it more.

very very yummy! parking lot was quite full so i figured there would be a wait but no this place is huge inside. wait staff was very friendly and helpful in making decisions. the tomatillo sauce they bring out in the beginning is amazing! love the pineapple taste. food was delicious as well. a bit pricy so will probably be a special occasion place for us but was worth it.

we love this restaurant! the new location seems to always have a wait, but the queso is well worth the wait. the chimichanga and enchilada are a personal favorite! yummy!!

no longer handicapped friendly. we used to go to abuelo's fairly often until they moved to their new location just a short distance from the old building. the new building is not friendly to those of us that use walkers and has very few handicapped parking spaces. that, added to the extremely loud background music/recorded crowd noise is more than enough to keep me away.

try the shrimp cocktail!. first visit to this location and we weren't disappointed. the décor is really nice and the service was very good. we enjoyed all of our food, but the unexpected highlight was the mexican shrimp cocktail. i have similar dishes elsewhere, but this one was outstanding! it had such a fresh taste and included many large shrimp. the pico blended with the avocado cream sauce was really unbelievably good! the food is really good, but it's all a little pricey, so it's certainly not a regular stop for mexican food - but i have no doubt we will return.

great food. if you want good tex-mex then swing by abuelo's in hurst! my family and myself have been coming to this location for over ten years and have enjoyed every get together we have at this particular location. the chips,salsa and guacamole are all made to perfection. import and domestic beers are very tasty and filling.margaritas are good too! the enchiladas,beef tacos,chicken tacos are all made well. if a small problem with the food arises it is corrected and management then will periodically check on a table to make sure everything runs smoothly from then on out. all of the wait staff i have dealt with have been friendly and very attentive.

chili rellenos are my thing. since that first visit in 2000, i've tried several other dishes but it's always those shredded beef rellenos and that queso dip that keeps me coming back. i don't care for tomoato based sauces so i always ask for the queso instead of ranchero sauce on my shredded beef rellenos. the charo beans are great. those mashed potatos they season with chilis are a really nice treat for someone like me who's never grown to love spanish rice. i don't have an opinion about the hot sauce but the chips are great. i'd also like to ad that if you're in the mood for a beautiful steak and shrimp meal, they do these filet medalions and bacon wrapped stuffed shrimp that are as good as any steak house in the metroplex. the patio is delightful on nice days.

in fact, i'd say the consensus at the rjg household is that abuelo's has moved into the #2 spot behind anamia's for the mexican restaurant crown in ne tarrant. the first thing you notice about abuelo's is how stunning the restaurant looks - on the inside and out. it's like a mexican vacation resort. generally that's a red flag for
