Abuelita's Mexican Restaurant

I absolutely LOVE Abuleta's they have THE BEST MEXICAN FOOD around these parts. Always Great & affordable! ❤️

There are two of these in Shawnee, this one off of Independence, and one out on the highway. I ate at both and they're both excellent! Food is always hot and fresh and plenty of it.

It is our new favorite place for Mexican food.

I met my mom and friend for dinner and we didn’t finish our food and got to-go boxes. Food was good and service was okay. I even mentioned how the place was one of my favorites. I tried my food when I got home and there was a metal piece in it! I asked my mom to look at it and I decided to contact management. I was told there was nothing they could do since I took it home and he “didn’t know if I put anything in it.” The manager offered me another meal which I declined since I was unsure if I would get more food with metal in it. I let him know it was about how unsanitary the food is and I wasn’t trying to get a free meal since my mother paid for all three meals anyway.
