Abuelo’s Mexican Food Embassy serves fresh recipes with a Mexican and coastal flair that can satisfy any appetite or budget.
“I want this to be the place for people to go to when they want to have a great dinner,” says general manager Ramesh Jolam. “Abuelo’s is very festive and elegant, but at the same time affordable. We are a family restaurant and our price point reflects that. We have a great lunch menu with most things under $10, and even our dinner menu has 13 entrées for $10 or less. People have been really eating up the dinner and a movie special, because the price is just unbeatable.”
The dinner and a movie package includes dinner for two and two movie tickets for use at nearby Rave Motion Pictures in East Ridge for $39.99. The meal includes Abuelo’s fajita for two, served on a large sizzling platter with the guests’ choice of up to four different meats. Couples can order traditional favorites like a steak fajita or they can be adventurous with bacon-wrapped shrimp, tilapia or pork tenderloin.
The movie tickets work for 3-D, Imax and traditional films at the Rave, located just off of Interstate 24. Couples don’t need to make reservations for the dinner and a movie package, nor do they have to finish diner and go straight to the theater. They can see the movie of their choice at a later date.
Whether guests are getting the fajita for two or partaking in one of the restaurant’s tapas-style entrées from the happy hour menu, the entrées are made from scratch using fresh ingredients. Jolam says in the near future even the restaurant’s tortillas will be made fresh in-house on its new tortilla machine.
