Abelardo's Mexican Fresh — Restaurant in Nebraska

Tonight I ordered DoorDash with a friend for a fun night of tacos and a little dessert chimichanga because you can’t go wrong there!

I ordered the Tripe Taco, Fish Taco which I asked for fried, and birria quesatacos con consommé.

My friend ordered the Cabeza taco, lengua taco and adobada taco.

Together we decided to share somehow a Cheesecake Chimichanga.

I throughly enjoy the tripe tacos here because they are always crispy crunchy and fresh, the fish taco was definitely hitting the spot but not being to filling before starting on the birria quesatacos. Let me just say they are quite addictive once you get started on them fresh with the just right amount of cheese holding a crispy crunchy shell of perfectly cooked birria ready to be soaked in consommé. All might just melt away from your world for that moment and that’s okay.

My friend enjoyed her Cabeza tacos which were soft and delicious always as with cheek meat, the lengua was tender and just the right amount of spice, the adobada was crispy and tender well seasoned too.

The cheesecake chimichanga we declared as a terrific choice for all of the savory tacos that we’d had. It totally hit the spot with the whipped cream, sprinkles and a little chocolate sauce over a crispy tortilla enrobed cheesecake. Which because it all came separately the chimichanga was able to be air fried to perfection when we were ready to enjoy it.

Try the tacos, burritos, cheesecake chimichanga and enjoy it all with their their great individually sealed salsa packets now which is absolutely...

This is my first time having Abelardos. I will be back for more! Ordered a carne asada taco, carnitas taco, beef burrito and a carne asada burrito. My family and I loved our meals, the house made burrito tortillas were delicious.

The asada taco was my favorite, with good flavor and the pico, guacamole and onions were a nice compliment to the steak. None of our food was greasy, which was a nice surprise as I expected the beef to be greasy at least, but my son really enjoyed it (not often he says " oooh, this is so good!!")

We ordered too much food for the 3 of us, so we now have lunch for tomorrow too!

My two tacos were less than 6 dollars, which is either a big lunch or decent dinner meal.

The restaurant interior itself was pretty basic, but was clean and had lots of room for seating and included a salsa bar.

The counter service was fast and friendly with food prepared quickly.

I can see this place catching on once the word gets out- Gretna needs more quality restaurants and Abelardos is a great fit. This place is a great lunch option with its drive thru window and fast service, and a solid dinner option if not wanting anything too fancy or expensive.

Will I be back? Definitely. Would I recommend to friends or...

i'm re-reviewing. initially gave 5 stars as i love the Abelardo's on 108th. the one on 168th is hit and miss though. i don't like to give bad reviews, YOU GOTTA BELIEVE ME...just look at my review history, the only reason i'm leaving this is that I'm just hoping they can adjust the practices. constructive criticism, i guess. Usually i've gotten good food there, but the last two times we went, the insides of the chimichangas has been cold, which is gross.

to be clear, the quesadilla and enchiladas we ordered were great, but with prices being what they are in 2023, all the food should be amazing.

and, yes, we got it as takeout, but the food was in Styrofoam containers and the drive home is about 5 minutes, then eaten immediately. no reason the food should be cold. just thought i'd share.

the staff is great though and the restaurant is clean. no issues there. they have these awesome tables too. just heat up the...
