Title: Delicious Tuesday Taco Special at Abelardo's of Ankeny! If you're in Ankeny and craving some seriously tasty tacos, look no further than Abelardo's! I swung by on a Tuesday to check out their taco special, and let me tell you, it exceeded all expectations. I opted for the chicken tacos, and boy, they did not disappoint. Packed to the brim with flavorful chicken, they were a true delight for the taste buds. Abelardo's definitely doesn't skimp on the fillings, ensuring every bite is bursting with deliciousness. What's even better is that on Tuesdays these tacos are priced at under $6 for the special, making it an absolute steal! But be warned, the portions are so generous that it might be too much for one person to handle alone. Plus, Abelardo's now offers an app for easy ordering ahead. I took advantage of this feature and breezed through the drive-thru to pick up my order without any hassle. It's convenient, efficient, and ensures you get your taco fix without any wait. Overall, I highly recommend Abelardo's of Ankeny for their Tuesday taco special. Fresh, hot, and utterly delicious, it's a must-try for any taco enthusiast in the area. Can't wait to go back for more!

Awesome and tasty food. Didn’t have Chile Relleno’s so got two orders of Carnitas Combo. Served with Pico de Gallo and guacamole and large flour tortilla! Green salsa was just right and red was spicy. Was missing Mexican food on this trip and this was perfect. Called order in at 9:40 and picked up at 10 which was closing time for dine-in and drive-thru. Cashier was friendly and was wearing a mask and gloves.

Burritos were good, but meat was over cooked or out too long that it was dry. And then my churros were WAY over cooked or the oil was to dark. 🤔 why u do me wrong abelardos? $30 on 2 burritos & 2 churros.

I ordered this food from food dudes delivery so I didn't have any experience with the staff, but it just arrived and I regretted it instantly after opening it and seeing what they brought me. The order was correct but the quesadilla was greasier than a cheese pizza. It was a pork quesadilla so it was obviously fattier than most other meat that goes into quesadillas, but at least use common sense and drain it before putting it inside the tortilla!!! It was hard to eat. I also had a chicken enchilada that was bland, even with the enchilada sauce and cheese. I'm convinced that outside of the "marinated pork", they don't season any of their food! And I couldn't really pick up any flavors from that because of the thick layer of fat on top of it. The side of "sour cream" they gave me was foamy on top and had the thickness of milk. I dipped my finger in it and it coated it. I threw it out after that...I didn't taste it. The side of queso I ordered also had a foamy appearance on top and was not very thick either. Thin queso is usually not an issue for me, but the foam was a bit weird. It's almost as if they dilute both their sour cream and queso with milk. The flavor of the queso was literally the only thing I ordered from this restaurant that had any flavor whatsoever. I just put a little salt and some salsa on everything else to make it palatable. I also ordered the refried beans which were flavorless until the addition of salt. I have heard mixed reviews about this restaurant and location and wanted to try it for myself. Was disappointed. If you're hungry for Mexican food, try La Sierra...

Fabulous flavor! Above and beyond customer service! Speedy delivery after your order! Abelardo's Ankeny location is thee flagship location of the fleet. Owned and operated by a young gentlemen who, in short time, has become mi amigo. This location has a menu and business hours to cater any appetite, anytime. Breakfast, lunch, and even 3:00am "late dinner." ARE YOU HUNGRY? Go to Abelardo's! Step out of your typical Tex-Mex boundary! Don't settle for the phony beef or chichen entrée at Taco Puke, I mean Taco John's next door. They'll charge you astronomical fees for a floppy noodle they call a burrito! Swing through the real meal joint and get a real burrito, bursting out of its tortilla with authentic ingredients. Abelardo's is a local franchise that needs our support. Shop/ eat local at Abelardo's. Located just outside Uptown Ankeny, this restaurant is always clean and quiet, unlike the "hip" Fuzzy's Tacos which is a much further drive for mediocre quality. Where else can you order a dish with steak, shrimp, and French fries rolled together in festive harmony with fresh Mexican flavor? Having a difficult time answering that question? I thought so! ABELARDO'S! Try it and...
