★★★★☆ 4.0 Layton Guiney · Mar 2026

Abelardos Mexican Fresh in Albert Lea offers a solid and satisfying Mexican food experience. The menu is packed with classic dishes, and the portions are generous. I particularly enjoyed their carne asada – it was flavorful and well-prepared. The service was friendly and efficient, making for a pleasant dining experience. The restaurant's atmosphere is casual and comfortable, perfect for a quick lunch or a relaxed dinner. The food does take a little while to come out, but it's worth the wait. While the food is generally very good, there's always room for a little more refinement. Some dishes could benefit from a bit more seasoning to elevate the flavors, and the salsa could use a bit more of a kick and the no bathroom is an issue. Overall, Abelardos is a great option for Mexican food in

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Jennifer Gardner · Feb 2026

The service is usually great, but we had to wait in line for about 40 minutes. We ordered the Carne Asada combo meal, but only got one burrito. The drive thru person wanted us to wait again to get the full order but we would have to pay more. We received one carne Asada burrito with queso for 16.70. They usually do great service and the food is always great, but was really disappointed in tonight.

Food is a little on the high end, for 2 it was around $36, most items you have to purchase your drink separately. Wait times are a little long since they have only 1 guy running drive thru, front counter & online orders. They do have 2 self service ordering machines which is a plus. If you dine in you also get free chips and a variety of salsa’s to choose from. Food is very good if you’re tired of the basic same old fast food items.

They were better when they opened. They don't peel the skin off the green chili's,so the Chili Relleno was impossible to eat. I had a carnitas burrito that had just green chili skin in it. The cheese in the cheese enchiladas wasn't even melted.
