Fine Mexican Dining @ Abuelos

So I went out yesterday. Mandy took me a mexican restaurant named Abuelos. Had three enchiladas. Two chicken and one cheese. It came with a side of rice and beans. I mixed ythe rice with the beans. It was pretty good. I got totally stuffed on dinner and though we got desert I did wolf it down and washed my throat with some Sprite. All in all a good meal.

Next time in the desert I"ll have to try that place (seeing it's about several hundred miles out of my area).

Really. It is very good food. The cheesecake is the best dessert.

And whern you're in the area, be sure to swing by my house, I'd love to meet a fellow hiver face to face. Let me now when you'll be in the area so I can give you directions. Perhaps we could even have a game.

Alright, though to be honest, furthest I've been in Arizona recently was Bullshead, but that's because it's across from Laughlin.

I'll probably be in Cali sooner than you'll bee in AZ. We're taking my godson/nephew to Disney land for his 4rd birthday. Probably sometime in March next year.

If your family restaurant is on the way, I'll try to fit it in on the Mapquest directions.

Maybe. :P That is, it depending on when and how my current financial situation abates. If all goes well I may be spending a few weeks in December in the desert (Vegas/Laughlin) so I might be traveling around.

No matter what, before you come down be sure to mention where your staying. That way I could pointer you to other places to visit while in So Cal.

Will do. I'll make sure to shoot you an email during the planning process.

Just thought I'd point out that Abuelos is a chain- a very good one, with locations outside of AZ.

Welcome to Abuelo's

I've been to the ones here in the D/FW Metroplex a few times and found them to be quite nice, if a tad expensive.

Then again, I live in a state where you can't swing a dead cow without someone making it into fajitas.

FWIW, if anyone is passing through Texas, I'd also suggest trying our local state chain, El Fenix. It isn't quite as good as some of the Mom & Pop Mexican restaurants that abound here in Texas, but its pretty doggone good.

HEY!!! There's one in Indy - guess I'll have to check it out next GenCon...

Looks very similar to Don Pablo's.

On one hand, taking away their weapons is a dead giveaway that they will need them. On the other hand, by the time conflict starts the players will already have opened the rulebooks and found the parts that deal with bare-handed combat, performing disarm moves, and using improvised weapons. Players may blunder through dialog with shocking ineptitude, forget the name of the country they are in, or get confused about which side they are on, but once it comes time to roll for initiative they all turn into Sun Tzu. - Shamus Young DM of the Rings

Don Pablos is a little downscale as compared to Abuelos or El Fenix. They weren't bad, but they didn't survive in Texas.

Abuelos looks nice, definitely expensive compared to some others.

This one is near work, and we like to visit it regularly.

I can attest that the one in Indy is very good. Their Sunday brunch is incredible. We've gone there for Easter and Mother's Day.
