Abuelo's is by far the best Mexican restaurant to visit in Myrtle Beach. The service there is absolutely excellent. All of the waitstaff and bartenders are so friendly and very attentive. I've eaten there several times, and I have enjoyed myself during each experience. The food is always well prepared, and the price is great. The decor is brilliant! It's one of the most beautiful places to eat in Myrtle Beach. I am a manager for a few different oceanfront properties here in Myrtle Beach. We cater to lots of families, and definitely a lot of golfers too. I always recommend Abuelo's to both groups, and I will continue to do so in the future. This place is great. Definitely a must see if you're a local or a visitor to our town. Keep up the great work!

First of all, I don't think you could ever compare Abuelos to Taco Bell! People like that must not get out much! By just stepping in the door you are so amazed of how the restaurant stands out in just beautiful artwork. Just Beautiful! Getting to the food, The Los Mejores de la Casa, Best I ever had! If you go there, try it! You will not be disappointed! Service is outstanding! Looking for the best margarita in town, just swing by and get one. Also I just found out that on Wednesdays, they offer there house margarita for only $2.50 all day long. You will never find a house margarita this great! I know I can just ramble on and on about how perfect this place is for any type of dinner celebrating. So stop by and enjoy yourself!!

Just returned from another amazing vacation to Myrtle Beach and wanted to share just one component of what made this trip so amazing: the dining experience my family and I enjoyed at Abuelo's! I saw on Good Morning America that this was one of the top restaurants in the nation and just had to check it out (always the skeptic). I was not disappointed. We arrived just past 6 on a busy Friday evening and were told our party of six would have to wait 15 minutes. The place was packed, but we waited only 10 minutes until our table was ready. We were seated in a beautiful courtyard under this incredible life-like sky (our server told us the artist painted the sky and the murals in under two days!). Service was attentive and welcoming (I believe her name was Erin). I ordered the Talapia Veracruz (wonderful!) and my wife ordered the Chicken Fajitas. Nothing too spicy--just enough zest--but a word of caution: food arrives HOT and the plates are HOT! My brother and his wife shared the Grande (huge; looks like it's served on a turkey platter) and had a nice selection of seven different items. They said it was excellent, but refused to share. Our two friends ordered three enchilladas (I forget which ones, there were so many) and the pork chops (Erin said they were new to the menu and we're hoping they keep 'em: plump and juicy, not dry). An incredible dining experience! Great selection of drinks (margaritas, soft drinks, beers, etc.) and the desserts sounded wonderful (too stuffed to do more than share the caramel cheesecake, which was decadent). When we return in the fall, I promise to do appetizers and desserts on the outdoor patio (too hot in the summer) and try another margarita. Do yourself a favor when in Myrtle Beach: have lunch or dinner at Abuelo's. Yuo won't be disappointed and I'm sure you, like I, will promise to return. Can you believe this is a chain?! Absolutely fine dining in a relaxed atmosphere (Mexican music in the background) but with decent, reasonable prices. Reminds me of my trips to Mexico (only cleaner, and without the language barrier)! Kudos, Abuelo's!!!

We recently dined at Abuelo's last week, the food was absolutely horrible! I ordered the fajita chimichanga and was appaulled! My significant other ordered something that resembled crap on a plate. Our meals were luke warm if that and rather bland. We barely touched our food. Put it this way Taco Bell has this place beat. Seeing how we both work at golf courses a lot of golfers ask about fine restaurants on the Grand Strand, sorry Abuelo's, you are not one we recommend to them.

Stopped in here for lunch with my son knowing what to expect. Excellent restaurant. Food and service was far better than any I have had at any Mexican Style restaurant either in the states or Mexico. Been back since and going back tonight.

Now all Myrtle Beach needs is a good Tex-Mex place!

This was OK. Friends and I went twice and decided it's not all that great. The building is beautiful but thats about it. The food is no better than anywhere else. There were so many people on the floor (working) they were running into each other or leaning against the decorative columns talking.

This is by far the best Mexican restaurant that I have tried. The interior is beautiful and the food is outstanding. My wife had the "best of the house" dinner and it was super. I had the ribeye and enchiladas, the steak was better than many steak houses I have been to. We go every time we are at teh beach.

We just returned from a golfing vacation to Myrtle Beach and dined at Abuelos. It was wonderful. My wife had eaten at an Abeulos in Scottsdale, AZ a couple of years ago. We had actually driven to Garden City to a seafood restaurant that turned out to be closed for the season. Abuelos became an alternate choice, but it will definitely be a must stop on future trips to the beach. When we walked in the decor was fantastic, but I thought this is going to be expensive. But the prices are very reasonable for what you get to eat. My wife loved the vegetable fajitas and I a had a fajita chimichanga. It was delicious. If you like Mexican, you must try this place.

My husband and I love this restaurant. It is the perfect place to take your 'out-of-town' guests or just enjoy as a couple. The variety of food is wonderful. If you are going, you must try the bacon wrapped filet with shrimp. The cheese dip for the chips is also very good--- just try to save room for your entree!

Food was wonderful. The menu offered items for those who don't prefer to eat Mexican dishes and they were delicious. Variety of dishes to choose from and we all ordered different things to sample, and all were superb! Atmosphere, staff, and location were all great and I added this as one of my favorite, local restaurants!

This restaurant is by far the best experience we have had in Myrtle Beach since I have been back to the area. We were treated with kind consideration by the management and staff and the food was absolutely incredible!

The atmosphere is one of elegance and sophistication yet it doesn't feel stuffy and uptight like some upscale resturants.

We will be going to Abuelos whenever we have guests in town from now on!!

We went out to Abuelo's last night after reading reviews here and let me say we were extremely impressed.

The restaurant is beautiful from the ceiling, wall paintings and statues. My husband and son said that even the bathroom was great, he said all that was missing was the man in the bathroom handing out towels.

The waitstaff was very good. They were very attentive that you didn't have to seek them out they were there with refills and asking if you needed anything.

The food was wonderful. My husband is Mexican and he got the Fajitas trio and said it was terrific, even said it compared to some of the food his mother makes, possibly even better. My kids loved it too. I had some of the papas con chili, wow those were great. Didn't care for the frijoles charro, but everything else was really good.

We defiinitely will be making this one of our regular restaurants.

We are Myrtle Beach residents, and just visited Abuelo's for the first time.

We will definitely put it on our favorite restaurant list!

Food was excellent.

Loved the decor, and the atmosphere was very relaxing.

The service couldn't have been better.

I had the Mahi-Mahi, it had a nice taste of chilli-warm-ness [ not chili pepper ] but chillies -- something that is at times difficult to truely find. She had the grilled salmon and loved it. Fish was FRESH FRESH, Good veggies-excellent taco chips that are very light tasting. Go there now & enjoy. PS Nice ceiling--you'll see what I mean and clean restrooms.

We have retired in Myrtle Beach for 6 years, and had to go to Mexico to get a real Mexican meal. Abuelo's provides us the real taste and atmosphere of Mexico. The steak in the steak and enchaladas dinner is the best steak I have ever tasted. I'm 62 years old, and have been on many business trips to many of the finest restaurants. Our friends from Arizona go to Abuelo's restaurant in Phoenix and told us they are regulars there. Once they found out that Abuelo's was in Myrtle Beach, we all had to go when they visited last. We had a wonderful time. I hope they are around for a long time for us to enjoy.
