Editorial Review for Abuelo's Mexican Food Embassy – by Amanda Howe

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.

User Reviews for Abuelo's Mexican Food Embassy

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

09/12/2007 Posted by wooknmama

Abuelo's was recommended to us by our realtor when my husband and I were here from Oregon. We loved it!! The food was great, the service was awesome, and the atmosphere was beautiful. Since then we have taken my parents there when they came down to visit and our kids always choose to go there when we are trying to decide where to go out to eat. Everything that we have ever eaten was awesome. We highly recommend this restaurant.

3 Star Rating: Average

My wife and I ate dinner here on March 30 of 07 and found the service prompt (even though the place was packed) and the food was outstanding. The chips are thin, the salsa flavorful, but not too hot, and the entrees were superb. This has become our favorite Mexican restaurant here in the Phoenix area.

Pros: Great service, good portions, wonderful flavor

Cons: None on our trip
