We went here for lunch at about 3 in the afternoon and the place was still almost full. A welcome sign I must say.
We ordered a Veggie Burrito, Chicken Burrito, Seafood Salad and Flan. They accommodated our request to turn the Burrito into a bowl. The food was flavourful and so was the Flan! The Seafood Salad had real crab! A bowl of their Salsa and Chips was also served as a complimentary dish.
I liked this place a lot and will definitely visit when back here.
I knew we had picked out a fine place in Jackson for some Mexican food when we arrived at about 20pm on a weekday afternoon and the place was still busy. Seated immediately, and a server came by and took our orders, leaving us with some chips with salsa AND pico de galo. My wife had the Burrito Fajita (pic) and I had the Seafood Burrito (pic.) Both dishes were excellent, the service was fast and courteous.
And, as you know, I give marks for the condition of restroom facilities in my reviews. Am pleased to say that then men's room was tidy (even at this mid afternoon hour, and my wife reported the women' room was equally clean.
Good job El Abuelito!!!
Food and service was very good.
Could have been a little cleaner and, for me personally, I like to hear some Mexican music being played, it creates the atmosphere.
Nice place.
I got the combination platter. It was great. Excellent flavor, choices, and a lot of food.
The service was excellent. We recommend it to everyone.
I had the combination plate, you chose two things. Very flavorful and I am picky about Mexican food. The refried beans were excellent. The staff very friendly.
Came here with 2 other friends. Got seated right away. Service was on the slower side but we weren't in a rush. The chairs at the table weren't really comfortable.
The first round of chips with salsa and cabbage are complimentary. Additional chips cost extra. We got the queso dip and that comes with chips too. For drinks, we each got a medium margarita - didn't expect them to be that big (a small size would have suffice) but good nonetheless. I got the Carne Asada which came with 3 tortillas. The steak was flavorful.
Margaritas were delicious! Carne Asada was so good along with rice and beans. Chile Rellenos good as well. Family friendly atmosphere.
I was sitting there for a minute before getting attended but other than that, the flavors were delicious. Imo, the shrimp would be better grilled rather than steamed but would still order again. I got the Diablo Shrimp, spicy 5/10 but flavor profile was 9.5/10. Enchiladas were 10/10 and their salsa is also fire. Rice and beans were honestly something I was craving and it did not disappoint.
*Came again. It was more packed but they had immediate service. Tried their dinner combo and the amount of delicious food you get for less than $20 is crazy.

The service was great, and the food was excellent. We went in at about 2 pm on a Thursday, so it was not at all busy. They served us ice water, chips, salsa and a kind of slaw. The salsa was a bit too spicy for me, but the slaw was delicious, and the chips were perfect. We ordered the cheese dip, and it was brought out in a cast iron dish. It was white cheese with peppers, and more chips. We rarely finish an appetizer, but the cheese dip was so good we couldn't quit!
I had the Chicken Fajita Burrito, which contained chicken, onions and bell peppers. It was perfectly seasoned and cooked, with just the right amount of melted cheese on top. The refried beans and rice that were included were also delicious. My spouse had a ground beef burrito, and it also came with beans and rice. He didn't leave a bit on his plate, and talked about how well seasoned it was as we walked back to our rental.
The only "negative" thing I can say is that there was no music, which detracted from the atmosphere, for us. All of those dining were seated in the same area, and the seating is fairly close. With no music, it was so quiet that the people at the tables to our right and left could easily hear our conversation. Otherwise, El Abuelito was in our top two dining experiences during our vacation. Highly recommend!
Quaint Mexican place. Shredded beef tacos were good. Chicken enchilada with mole sauce was excellent. The sauce was unique and on the sweeter side. Chips were very fresh and well made. Salad salsa - shredded cabbage, cilantro, tomatoes, jalapeno pepper- was amazing! Never had that kind of dip for chips. Staff was friendly and helpful.
