Abuelo’s brings coastal Mexican flair to special events in the Tennessee Valley through both on and off-site catering.
“We’re upscale, casual coastal Mexican with great value,” says general manager Ramesh Jolam. “It’s not just your typical enchilada and taco place. We have a lot of unique, flamboyant cuisine with specialty items that are delicious. We also have a lot of flair compared to your normal Mexican restaurants.”
In addition to traditional recipes such as enchiladas, tacos, tamales and burritos, Abuelo’s catering menu features house specialties that can be ordered by the plate for small family-type gatherings as well as for larger formal events.
Popular choices include the Los Mejores de la Casa with wood-grilled bacon-wrapped tenderloin medallions and bacon-wrapped shrimp, stuffed with fresh jalapenos and blended cheeses. Also tasty for events is the Pasta la Paz with penne pasta tossed in a roasted tomato cream sauce with shrimp, chicken, scallops, chiles and vegetables.
Jolam reminds everyone that a party can be anything the host wants it to be. Whether for a New Year’s celebration, wedding, birthday party or anniversary gathering, custom menu options are available. The restaurant’s staff can prepare unique buffets with the host’s favorite recipes, whether that is tacos and enchiladas or American appetizers, entrées and desserts.
