Our family loves Abuelos. Every one we have visited is consistent in superior quality. Amarillo is no exception. The queso is the bomb.

We always try to eat here when we are in Amarillo. We love the chips and hot sauce. One of us always has the Huevos Rancheros while the other has the Green Chili Quesadillas.

Was so impressed with the food, service, and selection. Everything was great. A busy place on a weekend night, so be prepared to wait.

There is nothing extremely good or extremely bad to say about Abuelo's. The food is OK, especially the "papas" (spiced mashed potatoes), and the service is good.

The atmosphere was a little cold, but the food was really good! I just thought it was a little pricey for Mexican food. We'll save this restaurant for special occasions only.

We have been eating at Abuelo's in Tulsa, OK, Allen, TX, and Bryan / College Station, TX for years. The food is consistantly good, and my latestest experience in Amarillo was no exception. Eating at the Amarillo Abuelo's is exactly like eating at any of the other Abuelo's. In Amarillo, we went there for dinner, loved it, and returned again... More

I've now eaten at Abuelo's twice - once on a Sunday, apparently after churches had just let out and once around 1:00 PM on a work day. I was alone on the Sunday, so it saved me lots of wait time. Plan ahead if heading there on a Sunday. There was no wait when I went there during the work... More
