Abelardo's Mexican Fresh

It turned out that not all Abelardo’s are the same. This location is killing it. Consistent quality of service and food. As a bonus, it has more meat options for tacos. They always get my order right.

Let’s start with the Adobadas. Huge tacos with marinated pork and topped with guacamole. The meat is tender, slight char and moist thanks to having a good mix of fat to lean meat ratio.

Their tripes tacos are even better than the ones I’ve tried in California and missed so much. Soft corn for tills with flat top grilled crunchy tripes. They are like crispy uncured bacon bits but with beefy flavor.

Tacos de cabeza, super tender meat with full beefy flavor. The fat is like butter that soaks into the tortilla.

If you are not that adventurous, give the queso taco a try. It’s golden birria tacos with cheese and the broth where the meat was slow cooked is provided as a side door dipping.

I’ve been driving 10 miles to this location even though the Bellevue location is closer to where I work. I wish I had taken pics of the other location to compare. It’s day and nigh difference. The portions, the cut of meat, availability of items and service are very different despite being under the same name.

This review is for the 72nd & Giles in Papillion location only.
We love this location! The place is cute and very clean; the people are so very friendly and accommodating; the service is speedy as well as accurate; wide menu choices offered; the food is fresh, super flavorful with huge (I mean huge) portions and the prices really cannot be beat!
The photos are 1 of the Super Fries with the chicken on the side (think fully loaded nachos but made with fries) and 2 of the Smothered chicken burrito (minus about 3 mouthful).

Abelardo‘s is a fantastic place to get breakfast. I always get a chorizo and egg burrito. The burrito is always hearty and humongous. It’s made fresh to order so it always comes out steaming warm. The flavors of the burrito like an explosion of flavor once it makes contact with your taste buds. The service is always prompt and the staff is always friendly. The prices are competitive and for the amount that you get most of the time there’s always leftovers for a later snack or meal. The facilities always kept up really well. It’s always clean and I’ve yet to see any trash debris on tables. Today I went through the drive-through and the service was fantastic.

Service was great. I don't like everything but I do like the cowboy fries

I came on Tuesday night for the 5 for 5 chicken or beef tacos!!! Hands down one of the best deals going! I also had a coupon for a smothered burrito chicken or beef! I got one of each and I think I may have found a new favorite dish+

Food is some of the best Mexican in Omaha. Granted, that’s not a very high bar given the quality of Mexican in this town but abelardos never misses the mark!

Fast service and amazing food! The long line was worth the wait BUT lately the customer service at the drive-thru window SUCKS. There is a young girl (piercings in her face) at the drive thru window and she is so rude. She has no customer service skills whatsoever.

Love this chain — this was a great place. The inside is beautiful. Employees were very nice and food was great as always.

Thoroughly enjoyed breakfast from here. Also tried the fried tacos (not on the menu) and they were very good.

First time customer. Had a meat lovers breakfast burrito. Restaurant was clean, staff was friendly, and the food was excellent. Very grateful I had the opportunity to try their food as I will now be a regular customer. Thank you very much Abel!!!

We have been to Abelardos before and we like it. HOWEVER, this location is far superior. It was so fresh, so tasty and the portions were huge. The staff was super friendly and fast, it was all a great experience.

I ordered 1/2 super fries with Steak on the side. It's enough for 2 people, maybe 3.. it seemed pricey when I ordered it ($10) but when I saw how much food it was its actually very cheap. And might I reiterate, it's ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS. We will make the drive to this location from here on out.

The fried tacos are insanely delish. Better than a very popular establishment — I think abelardo’s fried tacos are better! 🙀🙌 Also the Pepsi is to die for. So refreshing and perfect! We are hooked and bummed we didn’t try this place sooner.

Quality of the food tonight was just something else. Really enjoyed our food. Thank you!

i ordered carnitas fried tacos and queso tacos and it was the best food I have had in a long time!!!

My son and I had the Taco Tuesday special it was wonderful. Will definitely be coming back for more. 🙂👍

This is my favorite Abelardo’s in the metro. I dined into today for the taco Tuesday and it was incredible. Extremely nice and clean! Very nice hosts! I tried every salsa from the salsa bar and each are a 10, I’ll definitely be back. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Consistent good food! Great price. Tip: go inside to get the hot hot sauces.

The Quesa birria tacos are FIRE 🔥!!!! Literally A must try!!! The cooks here are killin it 💯 . This establishment is impeccably clean. I’ll definitely be back with my family.

I had an issue & the owner resolved it with me. Thank you, Alberados team 😊

It was very good and the amount was off the charts! You get a lot of food for your money. All my guests were able to eat multiple times and we all enjoyed the flavor!
