Abelina's Mexican Grill

So, I've given this place time and eaten here a few more times, over the course of a few months.Unfortunately, I'm not going here anymore, and here's why:- Incredibly limited menu- Stale chips, mediocre salsa- Chip refills cost extra- Sodas are from can in fridge- Iced Tea tastes weird- Food is ill-prepared and tasteless; my dish was burnt and flavorless last time.- Staff ranges from inattentive despite no business to personal and friendly. Luck of the draw.- They are anti-gun (which you may not care about or might make you excited, but in rural Texas, we frown upon that. And wonder why you'd make yourself an easy target for robbers.)- Because of all the above, despite several months to get going--wait it's been over a year hasn't it?--no one goes there, so when you eat there, chances are its just you and the staff, sitting at another table themselves with food and drink, listening to your conversation.So, it's awkward, people.I was willing to forgive many of the above things when it first started out. It deserves a chance to get on its own legs and improve things, but, they aren't improving, but are going downhill. The tea and chips used to be better and I think chip refills were initially free, but I could be mistaken.PS If you are a CHL holder, their sign is home-made and not legally binding. However, I'd just go elsewhere if I were you, either Los Amigos or Mesquite Grill, or venture further to Galileo's or Cielito Lindo in Bellville, or the place in Wallis (or East Bernard). Yes, I know there are other Mexican restaurants in Sealy and Bellville, but I would not advise you go there, unless you are desperate.

Didn't know this place existed until January. Amazing food and friendly people. Don't let the building fool you its worth going!

Johnny R.'s review is pretty spot on. After a year or so of frequently eating here I can say that the biggest drawback is the inconsistency. I have to say that over the past year we have created a very friendly relationship with the proprietors. The service is impeccable. I do credit this to the fact that we have invested time and money in building this relationship. That being said I will be biased in my review. Basically they do certain dishes very well and others I would stay away from. The gorditas and any taco with corn tortillas are very good. The barbacoa is also very good although expensive. The chilaquiles are also exceptional. I would stay away from the enchiladas. The chili con queso used to be exceptional, but over time it is almost inedible. Overall we go here for breakfast as I love the chilaquiles. My wife will eat different tacos on corn tortillas. These are hard working people who are trying to make a go of it and are extremely friendly you just have to know what to order and play to their strengths.

Ordered the same breakfast tacos as last time. A little greasier than last time, but still had really good flavor. Salsa could still use some help, maybe some smoked ancho chili powder or something. Service friendly again.
