abuelo's mexican restaurant

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

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 thatquesodip that keeps me coming back. i don't care for tomoato based sauces so i always ask for thequesoinstead 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.

one of our favorites!. we've been going to abuelo's since moving to the dfw area and we've never been disappointed. abuelo's is one of the more progressive mexican foods restaurant around - meaning they don't just serve the traditional mexican foods, they offer a variety of non-traditional choices.

as far as chips and salsa, their chips are thin and crisp. their house salsa is the roasted, smoky variety. i recommend theirqueso- it is bowl-scraping good! admittedly i am a spice wimp and if you want spicy queso, you will not be happy with this one - it is made with sweet peppers not spicy.

overall, it is a good value for good food. service has never disappointed, in fact on the most recent visit my server championed for me on getting a correction on my meal - nothing major just an oversight that she noticed.
