El Abuelo

delicious food! the staff is very nice!

«Poor service. 1.5 hrs to get food and it was not busy. Food was decent, service horrible.»

We eat here almost anytime we pass through Wenatchee. And more than once we’ve used eating here as an excuse to go for a nice drive from Everett.
El Abuelo has fantastic food, really nice servers, it’s clean and they like kids. Prices are great too.
Everything tastes fresh. My favorite thing? Their Pico de Gallo — it has cabbage and black pepper and is somehow just right!

My standard rating disclaimer: I rate places as compared to other similar places. In other words a hot dog cart or taco stand can easily be five-​stars when compared to other carts and stands.

I recently moved from Yakima where I had several excellent Mexican favorites. I had been disappointed with several recommendations in Wenatchee. We stumbled on El Abuelo on Sunday because everywhere was closed. What a pleasant surprise! Food was fantastic. I had the chipotle chicken and my wife had the carne asada. We were both thrilled with our meals. Service was friendly and very attentive. It is my new favorite Mexican in town.

I had the pleasure of eating here on Mother’s Day Sunday. We enjoyed the very fresh, crispy tortilla chips, and the kind and prompt service.
My huevos rancheros were better than the ones I regularly get at the Azteca chain. Perfect textured beans, nice fluffy rice, and not-​too-​spicy salsa. My dining companion had the ranchero burrito and enjoyed it. Our food wasn’t drenched in greasy cheese like can often happen at Mexican restaurants.
Our drinks were refilled frequently, we were offered more chips, and our bill was brought over promptly when requested. I appreciated the plentiful parking and clean restaurant.
I enjoyed the Polaroid photos on the wall from people’s birthday parties celebrated here at El Abuelo: grinning people wearing the communal sombrero.
Definitely eating here again next time I’m in Wenatchee and craving Mexican food!
