Have you been to the chain Cheese Cake Factory? Well, the corporate restaurant designers took that concept, made it look "Mexican," and called it Abuelo's.
Now, the American perception of what is Mexican and reality may be, oh, a little different. But, if you like chain and theme restaurants, you will like this place.
The interior looks like a pseudo courtyard. The noise-level is quite high due to this. The "charm" evoked by the fake blue-sky is thus a little lessened.
The menu is extensive but offers the American/safe versions of Mexican food. The servings are obscenely huge. Seriously, it was very unappetizing to see these troughs they call plates come to the table.
The food was, well, safe. Nothing was terrible/nothing was really great. The fajitas are your safest bet, but they arrived with a mountain of onions and one tiny slice of bell pepper. Share this with at least one other person.
