Casa Los Abuelos — Restaurant in California

For over two decades, I've been making my pilgrimage to this family-owned gem, and somehow, it keeps getting better with age- like their tequila, but with fewer regrets, the next morning Let's start with what matters: those margaritas. They don't just serve

margaritas; they deliver small swimming pools of perfectly balanced tequila concoctions . The food defies the typical "Mexican restaurant" label. Everything arrives on plates that could double as small coffee tables, but what truly elevates this place is the staff. Some faces I've seen for over 20 years, They remember your usual order, ask about your family, and somehow manage to make you feel like you're dining in their home rather than their workplace. In fact, i'm pretty sure some of them live there.once left my wallet there--stuffed with enough cash to make losing it a genuine traged y- and returned the next day to find everything intact, handed back to me by one of the restaurants OG's magnificent eyebrows extended past his nose like natural awnings. Despite our language barrier, his integrity spoke volumes. In an industry known for cutting corners, this place stands as a testament to the rewards of doing things the right way, year after year. The portions are generous, the quality never wavers, and the atmosphere remains as welcoming as your grandmother's kitchen--ifyour grandmother made killer enchiladas and had a fully stocked tequila bar.

This isn't just a restaurant; it's a community landmark where memories are made And in today's world, that's something worth celebrating preferably with one of their...

The food was good. Nothing special, just tasted like generic Mexican food. The Tres Chilis plate came with a huge chili relleno, a scoop of chili colorado, a half scoop of chili verde, rice, and beans. The chili relleno and rice were the best parts. The carnitas street tacos were good, the carnitas were nice and crispy, but they weren't very flavorful. The beans on both plates were a thin smear of refried beans and a ton of cheese on top, more cheese than beans. The service was alright. It was Mother's Day, dinner time, so they appeared on the busier side, but we were seated right away and there were several vacant tables. It took about 15 minutes for the waiter to come take our order. The prices seemed very high. Two plates, an iced tea, and a virgin Pina colada came in at a few cents shy of $60. I think the most disappointing part of the experience was getting the credit card slip back and seeing that we were charged almost $63 when our bill was $59 and change. Apparently they charge a "merchant fee" to pay with a debit/credit card. I've never been charged a credit card processing fee at a restaurant before, and with how high their prices already were, it seemed like an insult. Based on the mediocrity of the whole experience, we probably wouldn't...

Excellent service but it was slow. I can only imagine they're stretched too thin which doesn't reflect in my two-star rating. I ordered fajitas steak carnitas and shrimp, it was delicious. My daughter had a simple mac and cheese kids meal which was very affordably priced at $5. My wife ordered the fish tacos this is what caused all the problems, they were very fishy. Not rotten but definitely not tasty. We were requested of substitute of chicken tacos, most restaurants will expedite a replacement order but it took over 30 minutes to get a replacement, I was already done with my meal and shared a lot of it with her so it was really a waste of food.

The staff was very courteous and apologetic. They gave me salsa very spicy flavorful salsa that I requested them beginning and it was fantastic as well as their mild salsa they served initially.

I don't think I'll be back with all the restaurants in town I haven't been to I would sooner look for a new place, and while I wouldn't recommend them based on my experience I would absolutely encourage you to give them a shot, maybe this is a one-off. The restaurant, restrooms and waiting area were very clean and the overall atmosphere is...
