Abuela's Table

One of the best meals we've had in the past few months!We got a reservation at Abuela's table for Fri night. When we reached, it was busy but not too crowded. We wanted to try some of their specialties and unique dishes so we got a few for the table- grasshopper tacos, cactus salad, fried plantains, shrimp tacos, and a side of Mexican rice. Everything was great!! First time trying grasshopper and we were pleasantly surprised. The way they make it, it's very crunchy and the seasoning has a tang to it. The cactus salad was also delicious. The dressing is quite sour, so beware. The shrimp tacos were delicious. It came with a bowl of beans, not sure why, but that paired much better with our side of rice which would've been dry on its own. Fried plantains kinda stole the show because they picked the plantains at the perfect stage, where they were just right in terms of texture and sweetness. Wait staff were attentive and the decor is colorful and cute. We had a nice long relaxing dinner and would love to be back.

Damn. Damn. Damn. That was delicious. CHILE RELLENO EN NOGADA: So so so good. Wish it came with two chiles but whole plate was very filling with the rice and beans. I couldn't get enough of the rice either. It had the perfect texture. I've always liked chile rellenos and I know chiles en nogada are a whole other level special and this dish did not disappoint. BIRRIA TACOSDelicious. I wanted even more of the toppings they provide on the side (pickled onion, cilantro, etc). Hot sauce, limón, and the consomé took it to the next level. HORCHATAYes, the horchata deserves it's own applause. As a Salvi, Mexican horchata doesn't typically blow me away. But this was the best horchata I've had in Boston. GO HERE. Menu has something for my vegetarian/pescatarian friends. I'm definitely going back. So many other dishes to try!

Delicious: everything we had was flavorful, prepared well, often unique and not found in many other spots, and piping hot and fresh. From the nopales in mole verde, to the cochinata pibil, to the enchiladas with mole, to the tamale sampler, to the fluffy rice and flavorful beans that come as a side with the entrees, you can't go wrong. Not surprising given these are the folks behind Tu Y Yo- quality and flavor is the name of their game, and it translates well here.Take out is easy and packaged well for travel- can't wait until they branch into delivery, and looking forward to trying more on the menu.

The name of this place is SPOT ON! this is literally like going to eat to grandma's house - humble, homey, comforting food. Could it be better? Of course. But grandma doesn't have fancy ingredients in her kitchen, she just has love and her food is good. Mini tamales - 5 different flavors, all good, my favorite one being spicy chicken. The sweet corn and coconut ones are very unique. Arrachera Mexicana - the beef in this dish was the best thing I had - so tender, savory, with a touch of lime. On the other hand, the chilaquiles were pretty bland and greasy, not a fan. Elotes - really good! Loved the heavy addition of lime. Tacos al pastor - not the best looking and definitely need onion and cilantro on top, but somehow they were still delicious. One of the best and most authentic things I had (that I would come back to eat over and over again) was the rice and beans. No idea what they put in there but I couldn't stop eating it.

This is hands down the best Mexican food I've had in a while. Boston is craving good Mexican places!! I brought my roommate who is Mexican and she loved it too, which is saying something. I had the enchiladas with the green sauce and it was amazing. It had a little bit of a kick but I have 0 spice tolerance and definitely enjoyed it. GET THE HORCHATA! Also the painting/mural on the wall was so cute.The employees were very kind and provided fast service! We had no wait when coming on a weekday at dinner time

Gem of a restaurant -- really happy to have found Abuela's Table! I've been here a few times with close friends and it is always absolutely delicious. The wait staff is always patient and helpful. We were given guacamole by mistake, and when we went to give it back, they let us keep it for the honesty. Class act!I would highly recommend the Chicken Enchiladas with Molé sauce -- absolutely delicious. The only knock I have is that they don't serve alcohol, but it closes at 9:00pm so it really isn't a late-night/bar spot anyway.

Enchiladas were decent, wasn't spicy just more of a mellow tomato based red sauce. Shredded beef in them was good. Black beans tasted freshly made and seasoned well, and rice were also good.

We wanted to give this place a try as it's relatively new. We got the Chicken Enchiladas, Flautas de Pollo, Tamales, Elote, and Chicharron Tacos.The Flautas de Pollo were pretty good, albeit the chicken inside was a little dry. The Enchiladas were also good, as was the elote (though the corn was not a juicy or sweet as I typically prefer). The Tamales were decent, though again the meat was a bit dry; if i were to come again, I'd probably opt for the vegetarian ones. The chicharron was cooked really well and was yummy--crispy and juicy, but not tough. The black beans that came with most dishes were well seasoned and tasty.The service was ok, and the ambiance was ok (nothing spectacular, fairly nondescript). They do seem to have a feedback problem with their speaker system, which I noticed almost immediately (but others seemed not to), which was at times a bit annoying.We also got dessert, the churros and chocoflan. The churros were good, but we didn't care for the chocoflan; the flan was not great and the chocolate cake part was dense (but not in a fudgey delicious way). We'd probably pass on dessert if we came back.

Loved the food at this spot, and glad to have a more traditional Mexican a lot nearby closer to places I used to frequent in Los Angeles. Food was fresh and delicious, service was friendly and accommodating. Only note during these hot days is the lack of AC

So happy this loved into the neighborhood. The chilaquiles dish is a 10. Shrimp tacos are perfect spice level and perfectly seasoned. Birria ramen and birria tacos and birria taquitos all great.Service was a little slow but they're just getting started so I'm not worried about it.
