Abuelo's Mexican Food Embassy

this place is awesome ive been her 8-10 times....not ur typical mexican restaurant....i had the grande enchilada platter..the best ive ever had...and the service was top notch....the decor and the atmosphere are great...and i enjoy every time i come here.

Pretty decent restaurant with a variety of food choices for all tastes Mexican and American. It was strangely empty for a Thursday night but the employees were extremely attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly. This includes the wait staff and bartenders. I will go back and I am curious to see if theybare as friendly when they are busy.

Mexican food with incredibly large portions and incredibly large puddles of grease - just the way grandpa would have liked.

Abuelos was a far drive for a work lunch but worth it. While the menu usually has more expensive options for Mexican, they are with reason. The food is higher quality and there is more of it. The free chips for example, come with four separate salsas including a super spicy variety and even a green chile salsa.

For the record, green chile salsa is the greatest green sauce in the world - go ahead and prove me wrong yelpers, PROVE ME WRONG.

Abuelos also has lunch specials and even those are a lot of food. The burrito was more than enough for me as was the chicken chimichanga I ordered the first time I was there.

The chicken chimichanga at Abuelos was the best I had ever had, but the second time around I wanted something healthier. The waitress easily accommodated me by suggesting a chicken burrito with avocado. It was great.

If you love Mexican food, or restaurants named after grandparents, you should visit this place. Also, it has a convenient location in the parking lot of Lakeside Mall in front of JC Penney. No one ever goes to JC Penney so you will never have to fight parking or traffic.

BONUS: When you visit, try counting the stereotypes on the traditional Mexican mural on the wall. It is amazing.
