Great food, and the service was excellent! I’m so glad that my husband and I found a wonderful place for lunch! I had the #6 lunch special with a taco and sour cream chicken enchalada with added guacamole, and Rick chose Taco dinner plate with an extra taco.

It was my first time eating there. I really enjoyed my Big Red and the food was so good.

Food was really good. Servings were awesome. It’s about time a Mexican restaurant actually puts more than a tablespoon of rice for a serving. Chicken enchilada was packed full of chicken. Beans were very good too. Crispy taco was huge. Seated fast and friendly service. Owner came to the tables to talk to people. Prices are good for what you get. I’ll definitely be back.

Service was great. The food was just okay. I ordered a fajita burrito and the first few bites were excellent. But about halfway through it was just onion and steak, with no peppers. Kids enjoyed their kid’s quesadilla and fries, which came with ice cream. Prices were reasonable. We may have been in before the dinner rush (around 5pm), but there were only 2-3 other tables with customers. It’s a pretty big place so it felt very empty.

The food was amazing. We had a combo fajita and a avocado chicken salad. The meat was tender and juicy. The species we’re about the right amount. Their salsa was delicious, a little bit runny but delicious.

This place was absolutely phenomenal! The food was hot and delicious, the service was impeccable, and the atmosphere was exactly as you’d expect in a Tex-Mex restaurant. We are from out of town, but I am definitely going to stop here again if I ever come through Waco in the future! What a gem!

Very good and authentic Mexican food. The chips come out warm, the salsa has a good flavor of cilantro and has decent spice. Brisket tacos had good flavor as did the Baylor burrito.

We had a great meal of Fajitas & a #28. Food came out fast and it was hot. The chips and salsa were a wonderful starter. Our server was sweet and attentive. We went in about 5:30 on a Tuesday, so there was no wait. The staff was friendly & efficient. Discount for cash payment.

Abuelita’s is an authentic Mexican restaurant. We went on a Sunday and had superior service. I drink a lot of water and the waiter did more than just kept up. The food was generous and delicious. We will definitely be going back!

It was our first time here and I was really looking fwd to trying it. When we walked in they had a sign up saying they were understaffed and to please be patient. The restaurant was very quiet and clean. The food really wasn’t the greatest. I usually get chicken fajitas wherever I go and these were really overcooked and it reminded me of Taco Bell chicken meat. I’m not trying to be a negative Nancy, but I just didn’t care for it. Our hot sauce and queso was pretty good though. Our waitress was 10/10 amazing! She not only served us, but served others and even went around bussing tables. She later came to apologize if service was too slow and that it was only her 2nd day, but I let her know that I thought she was doing a great job. Maybe I need to go again and try something else as this place gets pretty decent reviews.
