Abuelo’s
By Bruce McCracken
ABUELO’S
824 Airport Freeway, Hurst, TX 76054
Abuelo’s, Grandfather’s in Spanish, began in Lubbock in 1997 and quickly found favor in the Metroplex. Of the countless Tex-Mex offerings in the area, Abuelo’s is among the most unique and delightful in every way. Each location’s interior is a little different and all feature a patio. Opulent décor greets you with a mural on the ceilings. Yet it is unpretentious and moderately priced. The bar drinks, especially the margaritas, are excellent, as are the complimentary tortilla chips and salsa. The menu includes traditional Mexican dishes including seafood in addition to Tex-Mex. One of the best and most distinctive meals is the succulent Los Mejores De La Casa. It features bacon wrapped mesquite grilled shrimp and beef tenderloins accompanied by spinach with a tangy creamy cheese sauce and zesty mashed potatoes. Another good bet is the Salmon San Carlos. Expect to wait but it is well worth it.
