Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

I don't understand all the hate! I've eaten at many Mexican restaurants in Lexington, and this is by FAR my absolute favorite!!! I've recommended it to all my friends and family. It's beautifully decorated inside, without being cheesy or overdone. We've eaten here several times and the staff is always very friendly and we've yet to have bad service. The prices are very reasonable, too. The food is wonderful!! I can't understand how other reviewers can honestly say that it is flavorless, Not at all!!! IMO, there is a very nice variety for the people that prefer the more Americanized Mexican food. I mean, c'mon, if you don't want 'overly authentic' food and 'just' want a burrito, take your basic taste buds to Taco Bell! That being said, the trio of salsa they serve is great! My favorite of the three is the (green) pineapple salsa. We had to order more of it the last visit! The tapas & small bites menu is a good idea, because the meal portions are fairly large, and you will be full when you leave! I recommend the spinach stuffed mushrooms! YUMM!!! I have to admit here, that every time I go, the menu options are very appealing, but I can't make myself order anything except the Enchiladas de Cozumel. I'm hooked! Here is the menu description: "Three delicious crepes filled with fresh guacamole, covered in a rich white wine sauce with a medley of seasoned shrimp, scallops, mushrooms, fresh spinach and roasted peppers." OMG! I'm telling you, with every bite I take an involuntary "Mmm!" comes out of nowhere! It is so freaking good! I suggest that when you try a new restaurant, go in without expectations of what you think it SHOULD be, and allow the restaurant to show YOU what it is about.

Our favorite Tex Mex restaurant in Lexington. The chips and salsa is so good I would make a meal out of them. They also have a good happy hour other than Saturday.

So I was down in Lexington for about a 24 hour period (if that) to see my first niece who had been born 2 days prior. Anyway, since this was a super quick trip and my brother was so tired (mind you, he was not even the one who gave birth), no one wanted to travel far for his impromptu birthday meal so we ventured down the street from his house to Abuelo's. I know that my parents (who live in Virginia) have one about 45 minutes from them and I'd heard them mention it from time to time. So we get there and the inside is quite nice. The decor and ambiance didn't really match the price on the menu, I didn't think. From the looks of it, I figured it was a place that was definitely out of my budget (which can be classified as "cheap"), and thusly would take advantage of being there on my parents' dime. The chips and salsa were reaaaaaal good. They had those really light airy tortilla chips. I don't like the very thick ones. I don't care if those aren's "the real ones" those are the ones I happen to like. I'm trying to remember what the hell I ordered. It was a vegetarian thing (obviously) and it came with the apparently infamous papa con chile or whatever. My husband is Mexican, you'd think I'd be more knowledgeable of the Latino cuisine but I'm not. It must've been a cheese enchilada. There was another thing I wanted to order but it came with chile con carne (wtf!). I'm sure I could've asked for a non-meat sauce but doing so always makes me nervous. Despite what I'd overheard someone say about this place being "too authentic" for her taste, I would disagree. I didn't think it was anything like what I'd seen my mother-in-law cook, or like anything from any of the restaurants in East LA where mi esposo is from. This place was far more appetizing than some of the stuff I've seen my husband attempt to make and I still have nightmares about the tupperware container labeled "LARD" that sits to the left of my mother-in-laws oven. Whatever the cheese filling was that was in my enchilada was the best part and it wasn't any of the Mexican cheeses I've seen. It was very "moist" and "rich" and "gooey." Almost a velveeta consistency, actually. The papa con chile was muy fabuloso. I devoured everything on my plate in a matter of minutes, leading to some gratuitously smartass comments from my Dad, who took notice of my speed-eating. Our waitress was awesome, my Dad made it a point to tip her rather generously. I don't remember what her name was but she was an older lady. I wish we had an Abuelo's up here, but we don't.

Mexican is my favorite type of food and this is one of the last places I would go in Lexington. Service was terrible. Food was just average. If you want to go to an upscale Mexican place then go to Coba off Richmond Rd. Much better option.
(3)Jenny H.
I really liked this place. It is definitely Americanized like one person said, but still tasty. I ordered a plate that came with 2 enchiladas and a chile relleno. It was tasty, and food came really hot which I love. I think they put their plates in the oven before bringing it to you. The sides were good too: I got refried beans and the papas con chile. Refried beans were just okay, not the best. The papas con chile I really like. It was like mashed potatoes with some green chile flavor to it. This place also has good tortilla chips, thin chips which I like. It comes free with 3 types of salsa - regular, spicy, and a pineapple+cilantro one which was delicious. Also, it didn't strike me as particularly spicy. Just normal Mexican food levels. Atmosphere was very nice, service good.
(4)Josh C.
Starting off, the salsa is A+ and I get it as take out all the time. The Jalapeño Cheese Fritters appetizer was also perfect. Then come dinner, I ordered the Chicken Fajita Chimichanga and it was not very good at all. The tortilla was too dry... even with the small amount of chile con queso on top. The chicken is cut into small cubed chunks... that and the taste reminded me of a non perishable microwavable meal.
(2)Chris P.
Nice looking establishment... Crappy food. Not authentic whatsoever. Fake cheese slathered on top of everything and hardly any damn flavor. How the hell is this place still open? Oh... Cuz Lexington has no palate.
(2)J D.
Good Flavors, Chips ok. Very Filling Got the Chefs special which was a Shrimp and steak combo with beans and cheese potatoes.. Everything was flavored well.. Gf got a tilapia and seafood combo and was prepared well also.. The only thing i didnt like was the shrimp on top of the steak as they tasted like precooked-frozen variety.. The steak was prepared excellent and the potatoes rocked.. The fish that i tried was good as well with the white wine sauce.. Ordered some Habenero salsa which was so crazy spicy.. but yet good with the chips.. This is the third time that i have been here and the first time was great, the second time a disaster for the crazy long wait.. But this time redeemed this restaurant in my opinion.. Some of the items are a bit pricy but they do have different priced items to keep you entertained. Try it and and see what you think.. Im stuffed now.. and in a good way.. You should do the same...

great times and food!

Our party of 19 had a great time. The food was great and the waiter Julian was outstanding. The part room was perfect and so was the entire evening.
(5)Megan M.
I'm usually quite hesitant to try out chain restaurants, but I loved this place! Warning: it's very Americanized tex/mex but still delicious. The tortillas and chips are made in house and are outstanding. We got the fajitas for two that were so good - plus it comes with four sides. The portions were unreal and totally worth what you pay for.
(5)Mercy L.
Overpriced, salty, flavorless food. The Ambience is nice, but that is about it. Don't waste your money here.
(1)Natalie R.
Had a wonderful dinner here for my husband's birthday. The atmosphere is classy, yet casual. The bar area is darker and cozy. The center of the restaurant is bright and airy as the ceiling is painted like the sky. Very nice murals on the walls and a really cool fountain. The food was great. The chips come with 3 types of salsa...I preferred the green one with pineapple. The quality of the food is so much better than your typical Mexican restaurant. They also have lots of options for sides, so it's not your typical refried beans and Spanish rice. The lime rice was really good. The menu was long with many options, unique Tex Mex food and traditional Mexican. Lastly, the service was great. Our server was prompt, attentive and very friendly.
(5)Craig U.
Truly enjoyed the new "make your own salsa" experience. Got to choose between a traditional, a spicy roasted habanero, and a new tomatillo-pineapple sweet salsa, and combine the flavors for my own unique taste. Very interesting. My wife ordered the prime rib special which, at a Mexican restaurant, I was skeptical. It was amazing - perfectly cooked, succulent, well-seasoned. My lunch-portion sized fajitas, which were still tasty and filling, just paled in comparison. Thankfully, she is a gracious wife, and she was willing to share. We will definitely be going back for more!
(4)William F.
This is a chain restaurant but their enchiladas are better than any of the authentic restaurants that I have been to locally. The chilli con carne is great.
(4)Ben P.
I wasn't impressed with the food at all here. The scenery is nice but bordered with stereotypical hispanic exploitation. I almost felt bad for some of the folks working there. Just seemed too much, maybe that's just me. The service was great. No complaints there. The food was not very good at all. First off their meals come on a platter, not a plate. It's almost awkward to have that placed in front of you when you just want a burrito. The cheese sauce seems to cover everything they make and it doesn't even taste like cheese. Just flavorless oily orange sauce. The food itself wasn't anything that was flavorful but then again, that could be because of the over use of cheese sauce and condiments. It's rare that I'd say this but save your money and go to Taco Bell if you want texmex this bad!
(2)Jay P.
Blah. The restaurant looks good enough, I guess, and the service is a-ok, but to market Abuelo's as an authentic fine dining Mexican establishment goes well beyond the limits of plausibility. It is Americanized to the max, but without paying us the courtesy of being even passably tolerable.
(2)Anita B.
Decent gluten free menu, great service
(4)Justin H.
Super good food. Good service. The chips and salsa were above average.
(4)Misty P.
First bad meal at Abuelo's ever, and what a disappointment! This had more to do with the need for a gluten-free menu/meal than the regularly served food. Abuelo's, according to the manager, has taken away the printed gluten-free menu due to a higher risk of legal responsibility, should a mistake in preparation occur. As a result, the manager came to the table to ask what I wanted to eat. He named an assortment of dishes that could be prepared gluten-free. Because he named each dish by the name in the 6-page menu, I had no way of knowing what each dish included. I ended up saying "enchiladas," and he told me that the red salsa and cheese would cover the enchiladas in lieu of the normal sauces. Then he left, sending the waiter over to take the order. The waiter took the order, but I had to tell him exactly how to prepare each gluten-free dish, including the salsa/cheese topping. The plates arrived with dry enchiladas. When this was pointed out, he said that he thought we would add it at the table. (There was no cheese at the table so I'm not sure how this would have been managed, and the salsa was cold.) Other food-related disappointments occurred, but I'll spare the details. My food was free, but the manager never came to follow-up. In fact, he avoided eye contact. Why was this meal so disappointing? We have been living in Pennsylvania for almost a year. My husband and I are from New Mexico and Texas, respectively. That was our last Mexican meal out for most likely a year or more - at least in the manner of what we are accustomed to. Shame on Abuelo's for not having a written menu! Add a disclaimer, but for goodness sake, allow the patrons and the server to have a set meal combination, especially if management and servers are not going to correct mistakes.
(1)Michael S.
Let me preface my review with I don't like spicy food. Ok, I ordered an enchilada combo. I cancelled the green chili sauce and substituted the red sauce because the green sauce is supposed to be spicier. Well, if that is the case, I don't know how anyone can survive the extreme heat. I took one bite of what looked to be a delicious meal and was on fire. I didn't taste anything past the 2nd bite. Half way through the meal, my solitary napkin was saturated with snot....I couldn't even use it to wipe the tears. The waiter kept coming over and asking if everything was alright (I guess I looked like I was in distress) and all I could do was point to my empty glass of sweet tea. I'm pretty certain I'm going to need an epithelial tissue transplant for the inside of my mouth. At this point, I'm just really worried about what is going to happen in a few hours...possibly minutes.
