Abelardo’s Mexican Fresh — Restaurant in Bellevue

For a first time impression this place was horrible. The cashier up front mumbled and made it hard to understand what he was saying, they had a tv playing some random tv show, that I’m sure the workers picked, that didn’t make it feel like a Mexican restaurant.

We ordered nachos and the number 6, totaling ~27 dollars. And drinks were not included in the combos. The nachos were sprinkled with shredded cheese, which wasn’t even melted. It was pretty much a plate of chips with a few handfuls of reheated microwaved steak. The number 6 was what looked like premade burrito and a decent enchilada. The burrito had a little bit of beans in it and the rest was just beef. The enchilada only had beef inside, and it tasted unseasoned, salt and pepper at most.

This place is okay if you know what you are paying for, but honestly I’d rather Taco Bell or La...

Taste good Nice place Polite staff Extremely fast service No tipping required But Chips ungodly stale Really worried about the temp of the beans and rice. (Cheese unmelted) They could work on presentation and portion control. (Smaller portion presented well fast large portion sloppily prepared and under temp extremely fast)

It's a decent place. Just needs some refinement. Don't know why they serve food on a plate for dine in when they have plasticware and trash cans in the dining area. A bit confused on what kind of dining experience it's supposed to be. Easy fix though. Not far off from being a local favorite if they could justwrap up...

Not so much. We love Mexican food, but this was the most bland version we've ever had. The beans had virtually no flavor and the beef was just cooked hamburger. Yes I know we could have put some hot sauce on it but I expected at least some spice to start off the flavor profile. The rice was dry and neither of us got past the first bite. Hubby ordered sour cream and guac which added some flavor to his burrito, but he only ate one of the two. The portions were reasonable and my taco shell was crispy and the best part of the meal. The staff was pleasant but we noticed chips and salsa near the drink station with no indication of whether it was included with the meal or cost extra. Not sure we will...
