" I had high expectations after hearing so much about Abuelita's, and I must say it lived up to the hype! I tried the taco salad, and while it wasn’t large, it was authentic and packed with flavor. The black beans were perfectly seasoned, and the salsa was fresh and zingy. The decor of the restaurant adds to the experience—lots of unique art pieces. My only complaint would be the slow service; we waited a bit too long for our drinks. Overall, a lovely spot, and I look forward to trying more from their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Amazing experience here! I tried the Christmas-style enchiladas, and they were phenomenal. They were dripping with fresh green and red sauces that were bursting with flavor. The restaurant was beautifully decorated, creating an inviting and cozy atmosphere. The only downside I noticed was a bit of a wait for our food—high demand is a good sign! The service was very attentive while we waited, and everyone was super friendly. Will definitely be back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you want to experience genuine New Mexican cuisine, Abuelita's is the place to be. The food is hearty, full of flavor, and prepared with care. I had the carne adovada burrito, and it was simply divine—lots of spice and just the right amount of heat. The staff was attentive, making sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, perfect for families or a casual dinner with friends. I'll definitely return to try more of their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful find! Abuelita's offers a taste of New Mexico that is hard to come by. The variety in their menu suits everyone in my family. I had the beef and bean burrito with green chile, and it was terrific! We dined here for dinner, and even though it was packed, the service was surprisingly prompt. The staff was courteous and made us feel welcomed. I would say the only drawback was the parking situation, but considering how good the food was, I can overlook that. I highly recommend Abuelita's to anyone in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I visit Abuelita's, I'm met with a consistently good experience. The chile verde is outstanding, and the portions are just right. The restaurant decor adds to the overall experience, creating a homey feel. The staff can be a bit overwhelmed during peak hours, which causes slight delays in service. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant for those seeking quality New Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’m glad I visited Abuelita's - the homemade feel of the food just warms your heart. I had the sopapillas, which were fluffy and just right. However, the service left something to be desired as it was quite slow. Despite the hiccup in service, I appreciate the atmosphere, which is welcoming and friendly. I might return eventually, but I hope service improves. " (*Curated Review*)
