Abelardo's Mexican Fresh — Restaurant in Bartlesville

Upon walking into the restaurant it was clean except with a couple of tables that needed the food thrown away. Apparently people didn’t throw away there food when they finished so that’s not the restaurants fault… I got the #24 chicken fajita taco plate. The texted beans are really good, along with the rice. The chicken fajita is seasoned great and taste absolutely amazing. I’m extremely expressed. The green salsa is amazing as well. I love that the rice is actually done and not hard like a lot of other Mexican restaurants. This is such a huge portion for 10$ I had a lot leftovers for dinner. I also got the raspberry sweet tea which was really good as well. My husband had the #5 enchilada and taco. He said the taco taste and looks homemade and has great flavor. The enchilada is delicious he says along with the refried beans and rice. The meals are a very large portion at a great price. For $10 for a really large portion is not bad at all. The service was pretty fast and the staff was friendly as well. We ordered and then within 5 min our food was at our table. My husband and I are very impressed with the food that was served and will definitely...

The air conditioner in the restaurant was dead. It was as hot inside as outside. Stifling hot. The HVAC guy was there working on it. We decided to tough it out. The restaurant is nothing fancy. Kind of dumpy on the outside, an old failed Taco Bueno building (explains the AC being out.)

No gratis chips. There is a salsa bar with a good variety. I ordered the chimichanga plate my wife had a bean and cheese burrito with red sauce. The food was excellent. Check the pictures. Better than the “Fresh Mex” places we have in Tulsa. If you have not tried Abelardo’s you should. Surprisingly good. Abelardo’s Mexican Fresh is a large franchise operation scattered across six states. The home office is in Omaha, Nebraska. I can’t believe a bunch of corn huskers could know anything about Mexican food. They have pulled it off.

Oh, the air conditioner came on as we were half way through the meal. It wasn’t cool inside when we left, but noticeably improving. No heat stroke.

Calling all foodie friends- Did you know Abelardo's Mexican Fresh Bartlesville is open 7am to Midnight 7 days a week!? Taco Supreme Monday's $5.99....3 tacos & a drink! Taco Tuesday's 5 FIVE regular tacos! (no drink) These tacos are STACKED. I got 2 ground beef and one shredded chicken, (you can mix and match) VERY fresh ingredients, and the tacos are STUFFED! Taco shells are fried flour tortillas (i think) The shredded chicken is extremely tender and just melts in your mouth! Let's welcome this family from California and give them lots of business! I visited with one of the owner's son's, and they will be having their doordash working by next week or maybe even sometime this week! And are going to be getting a Facebook page of their own 😉❣️ So happy to have an additional favorite Mexican restaurant AND finally someplace open past 8 or 10pm! Yay for late hours! P.S. I am confused by the reviews saying the food is bland...Are they not using the green sauce and lime? I find the sauce very good and just the right amount of...
