Abuelo's Mexican Restaurant

Food service and good food. Food is a good value, portions are very generous. If you go on a Saturday ask to sit in Maria's section. You will not be dissappointed.

Mexican done right. A bit of a commercialized vibe, but overall really good. I love their enchiladas. Try to leave room for dessert.

This place is so amazing! I was crushed when they closed they Lexington Kentucky location. Anytime I am in Northern Kentucky, I stop here to eat. My opinion, it has the best Mexican food anywhere around. The bacon wrapped shrimp fajitas are the best thing on the menu. It is enough for two people. I love the very thin tortilla chips. The salsa is great. You can eat a ton of chips and not feel too full. Even when I'm doing a no carb diet, I will cheat with these chips because they are so thin and light. Every time we have been here at the staff has been amazing. My most recent trip on April 16th, 2019, there was a waitress at the bar who was loudly complaining about where people were sitting and whether or not they were sitting at the bar. Something about she's the only one who kept seeding people wherever wherever wherever. I meant to get her name because I thought she was very unprofessional. But that is the one and only time we have noticed anything negative. I have never had any other complaint in probably 100 trips there.

Our first experience was absolutely wonderful! We had a very knowledgeable waiter the food was awesome! The music was a bit loud and not suitable for my taste it was more of a pop type Latino station.
Our two subsequent visits were awful we requested not to be seated near the bar and ended up having to argue with hostess and waited a long time before anyone came to our table although the restaurant was not very full.
I must give 4 stars though! Our first waiter and our first experience were that great!

Best Mexican food in Northern Kentucky hands down. Their staff is lovly as well. Oh and their frozen drinks are amazing. :-) Be sure to join them for happy hour. Their managers Melissa and Michelle treat you like you're family. :-)
