Abuelo's Mexican - Midland

It is always a delicious experience with Bianca M. at Abuelo?s. I usually order the Chicken with squash and zucchini, but I decided to try the Australian Sea ?Blast? tonight instead. Boy am I glad I did! The Blue Moon on draft just makes the food tasteeven more Delicioso! Salud! ???? PS the flan is to die for and the best tables in the house are in the Cove. That?s just myopinion. Xoxo

Abuelo?s Mexican restaurant is a good all-around place that has something for everyone. There is a full service bar and the margaritas are the highlight. I went with beer because that?s what I like with Mexican food. Chips and four kinds of salsa.The tomatillo is a little sweet for me. The portions are right. The flavor is plentiful. The music is lively and reminds meof Selena?s style. It?s just not authentic Mexican food. I ordered the steak fajita tacos. The waiter said, ?Steak tacos.? Itwas good. I?m used to fajitas with vegetables and this was not it. Just not what I expected. I am NOT saying don?t go. Iwould go again but with different expectations. You can see I didn?t leave much behind on the plate.

Great restaurant! The combo fajitas were good, and the beer was cold but just a bit flat. The service was awesome, the waitress was fast and friendly. I would recommend my friends eat here.

Heard good things, so was excited. Being from the Valley, I?m always looking for Mexican food that reminds me of home. When you walk in, you?re not greeted by either of the hostess. You just casually wait at the front til they get off their phones and askyou how many. Got seated at a table for four, with one of the legs being bent. Leaned to one side, and I had to use their sugarpackets to stabilize it. Our waitress was great, besides instantly asking if we were ready to order dinner. We let her know wewanted to order drinks first, and survey the menu. She came back often, and was timely. Solid waitress. The food is lackluster,and bland. I assume to cater to all, you leave the spices out and give the slight taste. Out of the three salsas, none hadheat. We ordered the large guac, and it came as a few scoops of purée guacamole with some tomato?s cut up on top. Same textureas you?d imagine frosting being squeezed from a bag. Fajitas for two, was our order for dinner. They allow you to choose 4options. We opted for double meat and double veggies. We got what one would assume would be for one on the beef fajitas, andstir fry veggies soaked in butter. They also gave us a small side of beans and rice (the same amount you?d get elsewhere forone) to share, and our waitress confirmed the individual plates have even less. The beef fajitas had no spices, and insteadwere grilled like a regular steak. You?d taste the same at Outback. I wouldn?t recommend coming here for Tex-Mex nor Mexicanfood. Though this could be a good place to bring kids, as everything was plain.

It was good for tex mex style food. But there were just a few things that hesitate to give it a 5 star. First, our guacamole was like 50% lettuce, which is unusual. Next the service was a bit slow. I had to get up to find my waitor to ask for morewater. Overall the place is inviting and clean. The food is decent, but with the abundance of Mexican places around Midland,I'd try other places first before going back.
