El Sazón de la Abuela — Restaurant in Big Spring

Honest Review

The Agua de Jamaica was refreshing just needed a little more sugar, but once I added some, it was perfect.

My husband ordered the barbacoa quesadilla, and he really liked it. It was big and filling. He also had the al pastor burrito, but since we’re used to Houston-style burritos, we expected it to come with beans, rice, lettuce, avocado, sour cream, and pico de gallo. Instead, it only had the meat he chose. It felt more like a large flour taco than a traditional burrito it really should be labeled differently on the menu.

I ordered the green chile plate and asked what kind of meat it came with. The waitress said pork, so I expected asado de puerco en salsa verde. But what I got tasted more like brisket or roasted beef with a green sauce. It didn’t taste like pork, and the salsa verde didn’t taste like traditional green tomatillo sauce either. I was disappointed with the entrée, but the beans and rice were really good.

I also asked if the tortillas were homemade, and the waitress said yes. I ordered corn tortillas, but they were clearly packaged and not made in-house.

The chips and salsa were tasty, but the salsa was a bit too spicy for me (even though I’m Mexican, my stomach can’t handle a lot of spice lately). My husband also tried the chile con queso, but it was very clumpy and not enjoyable.

One thing they definitely need to improve is the menu descriptions. Many dishes don’t say what kind of meat they come with, which makes it hard to know what you’re ordering.

We also got three paletas frías (Mexican frozen popsicles) and a bag of Mexican Cheetos, and the total came out to around $39 not too bad for...

This place is is not good and doesn’t deserve a 4.1 my kids food was dry couldn’t hardly eat it and it’s way overpriced what I paid there I could of went to chili’s or chipotle or something that Is way better and I think they over charged us and the waitress brought chips and forgot the salsa and the the other waitress was playing with her hair while getting food and didn’t wash her hands I would not eat here if I was you it’s not worth it the only thing that was good was chips and salsa. Better be glad I left a $5 tip and not 0.50 cents. But I am just blessed I got too eat that’s all that matters that’s why we didn’t complain too them just paid and left. And for all that’s saying it’s the best in big springs than y’all must have some bad restaurants in this town cause this was not good I’m sorry but just being honest I cook better Mexican food...

Went by three different spots trying to find a breakfast burrito on this side of town on a Saturday morning, this was the only one open and it did not disappoint. Ordered a hamburger meat with potatoes. Not really complaining but… I guess it’s been awhile since I paid for a breakfast burrito, this one was $6. Don’t ever remember paying that much for one, but also beats having to make it myself and glad it was open, and the food was really good so the 6 bucks was well worth it this morning. Watch out for that RED SAUCE!! The lady at the window told me it was HOT and I was like yeah I’m good, yeah naw it was good but super hot! Overall, great experience and I will...
