It’s a “hole in the wall” kind of place with great food and really great people. I love the taco salad! Everything I’ve tried there has been tasty. Comfort food, not health food.

The food is aways a hit never a miss. Trust me, i’ve been coming to “El Abuelos Taqueria” since I was a teenager. They also have a huge vegetarian menu for those who don’t eat meat.

Stop by to get a super burrito. While the service was a 3 star service, the burrito I got was the worst one I had for a long time. Food was absolutely tasteless. Do not recommend this place!

Delicious homestyle hand made food, made to order. It’s a bit of a dive, looks like a neighborhood taqueria with Formica tables and plain wooden chairs, tv playing Mexican soap operas, constant, loud Mexican music. But it does seem clean, other than the nasty air conditioning unit has on the ceiling.

Great Mexican Food spot with standard beers. A few TV’s normally broadcasting soccer. Old Lady behind the counter is pretty nice. Small and no frills. Great for soaking up the booze after leaving one of the local bars.

I ate here with my friend last night, 12/17. First, the older lady managing the register was extremely rude! At one point I had to ask her why she was angry, after she rudely, and in a loud voice, told my friend where the bathrooms were. The old lady replied semi-nicely that she was not angry. Next, I asked her for an extra plate after we received our food and she rudely said she would have to charge me $1. I told her the plate was not a to-go plate, and she chuckled and said she was just kidding. I informed her I was not amused by her sense of humor. Then, one of the younger guys working there chimed in rudely in support of her. Lastly, the food was definitely too greasy and overly expensive! I ordered the chimichanga and it was mediocre. I didn’t even finish my food, and I always do. My friend and I actually ended up at this place by default. We will definitely not return, nor recommend this place! If you want really good food and service, I recommend 3 Hermanos Mexican Grill. I would have gone there, however, I was closer to home, sonwe stopped at this place.
