Los Abuelos — Restaurant in Menard

I'm always looking for caldo de pollo, or caldo de res, with potatoes, celery, and carrot, (not with zucchini, broccoli and other weird stuff) They didn't have it on the menu, so I was kinda bummed. It's hard to caldo de pollo/res in restaurants now anyway. Not sure why. The fried jalapenos are not filled with cheese, they are strips of jalapeno, breaded and fried. Not saying they're not good, just saying they don't have cream cheese inside, so might not be what you expect. The breading looked good and they looked like they were cooked properly. It's also hard to find the cream cheese stuffed, bacon wrapped jalapenos that are oven baked, so just another time I couldn't find them. The place is very clean and very nicely decorated. The people working there...

We were pleasantly surprised with Los Abuelo’s. The place was just a big open dining area with arranged seating of tables and chairs. The service was pretty good too and our waiter with bushy mustache was great. We walked away thinking the food was delicious and exceeded expectations. I ordered the Carne Guisada plate which was spicy with great flavor. We also ordered the Mia’s special and it was great too. They offered kids meals which the kids really enjoyed. The salsa was great as well and had the right amount of spice. Overall, we felt the dishes were spicy, but not overpowering. Again a huge thumbs up for this...

If you order to go from Los Abuelos you will not get the right order 90% of the time. I’m a local and have stopped eating here because of that. I have heard from several other locals the exact same thing. Me and my wife ordered from Los Abuelos a couple of months ago and the order was wrong. The person who took the order told us that the order would be comped because of the mess up. We went back the next day to be told we were lying and that the cook got the order correct. If you are ordering to go, eat somewhere else. I recommend Ojeda’s...
