In Short – The decor is the star attraction with colonial-style architecture, vibrant murals of Mexican life, and stone statuary resembling a wealthy landowner's rural hacienda. Entrees include Tex-Mex staples--enchiladas and fajita tacos--with a few surprises such as bacon-wrapped beef tenderloin and grilled mahi mahi. Sweets include the creamy caramel-flavored dulce de leche cheesecake and the rich chocolate flan drizzled with Kahlua cream sauce.
Best chips and salas ever! Otherwise, just your average tex-mex

Abuelo's is a big, chain restaurant. You get huge portions, friendly service and a nice, if corporate, atmosphere. You also get rather bland, average Tex-Mex food. The food won't offend anyone, but it probably won't knock your socks off either.
However, I have to say that the chips and salsa are truly amazing. I have NEVER had chips and salsa this good.
I'll be back to Abuelo's, but I'll sit at the bar and have a cold beer and chips and salsa, and then I'll go somewhere else for dinner-- like the fabulous El Rio Verde!
- Pros: Chips and Salsa, service
- Cons: Average food
Great food, Great people

What wonderful food! The portions are huge!! They offer so many varities and choices, not all being mexican,such as seared ahi tuna, salads and much, much more! The staff is quick, attentive and helpful. My water glass was promptly filled after only a few sips. There is none of that "I'm not your server so I can't help you" at this restaurant like you encounter at so many other places. Very moderatly priced and a very comfortable atmosphere.
- Pros: excellent food,awesome waitstaff,bottomless chips and salsa
- Cons: a bit of a wait if you go at prime dining hours
