How To Tell if a Mexican Restaurant is Authentic
Entering the ranks of “authentic” Mexican food doesn’t boil down to any single recipe. Mexico’s cuisine spans many regional traditions from Gulf Coast seafood in Veracruz to the Tex-Mex cooking style of the Texas borderlands and the citrus-marinated meats of the Yucatán. Tex-Mex food is a tradition that was born from Tejano cooking in our home state of Texas. Traditional Tex-Mex items include fajitas, chile con queso, and hearty combination platters. At authentic Mexican restaurants, you can find hand-mashed avocado, real chiles, and homemade tortillas. Specialty salsas, sauces, and flavors with deep local traditions add another layer of authenticity.
At Abuelo’s, we make our salsas, sauces, tortillas, and sides from scratch, and we hand-roll our enchiladas. Our menu pairs Tex-Mex classics with dishes inspired by coastal and interior Mexico, like fish in a Veracruz-style sauce and Yucatán-style barbecue shrimp. Diners from Peoria, AZ to Lakeland, FL enjoy the chips and house salsas. Watch our chefs in action as they prepare authentic Mexican food from scratch.
