Great Food

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.

Great food and service

by jdavid17

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

Horrible service.

My wife and I just walked out of this place in disgust. We came to Abuelo's because we heard the food was good. When we walked in we asked for a table for 2. The hostess we were speaking to asked the hostess to her right to seat us at table 82. We walked all the way to the back right hand side of the restaurant passing several people enjoying their meals and 2 empty booths on the way to a dark corner table. I asked the hostess if we could please be seated in one of the 2 unoccupied booths behind us which were better lit and away from the wait staff service station. She said very rudely.. "We don't have a server working that area.? I politely asked "Who is serving the people we passed in the booths right next to the one we are requesting?" She starred blankly and didn't answer. She then proceeded to grab the excess place settings and mumbled "Enjoy your meal" and walked away. Snobby service cannot be made up for by the food. Upscale or not, you don't treat new or return customers badly. There is no excuse for this hostess. My wife and I will NEVER again consider eating at this restaurant. There are numerous restaurants in the area that want your business and are willing to go out of their way to make your visit enjoyable. Choose any of these restaurants to spend your money. Abuelo's is not worth your time. Date visited: 3/23/07 3:45PM.

• Pros: Located close to the Peoria Sports Complex
• Cons: Snobby service. Stuck up attitudes.
