An establishment that serves great Mexican food. Their side of Papas con Chile is great. You won't want the rice and beans once you try these. Beautiful restaurant with excellent personnel.

Today was my first stop by Abuelo's in Chandler andmy only regret is that I hadn't heard of it sooner. The interior is beautiful, the service was top notch, and the food was absolutely delicious. To top it all off, I spent about $10 less here for a party of two at lunch than I usually spend at another local... More

This is a more upscale Mexican place than most. I have no particular complaint about the food but have never been compelled to go back.

The food and service at Abuelo's is average at best. Why is the Mexican food in the LA area soo much better?. None too thrilled with the salad or fish I ordered. The waitress forgot about us in the corner near the wait station...don't think I will try this restaurant again.

Chips are thin and warm - always good. Salsa is changed slightly - not as good. Bacon wrapped shrimp extremely over cooked. Fajitas great.
