Food: Gastronomical journey but bland
El Abajeño offers a gastronomical journey through Mexican cuisine with promises of homemade flavours.

Fresh ingredients and an extensive variety make for a satisfying sojourn, even if the taste can sometimes dip into bland and mediocre territory.

Vibe: Casual setting but loud
El Abajeño provides a casual and homey ambiance that can often feel lackluster. What it lacks in ambiance, it tries to make up with a decent drink selection. However, it's not a place for a quiet, intimate date night as the place gets loud and is often teeming with families.
Great Drinks
Great drink selection adds to the dining experience positively.
Okay Ambiance
Some reviews found the ambiance to be casual and homey, others lackluster.
Bad For Dates
Loud ambience with families, not suitable for an intimate, quiet date.
Perks: Efficient service, parking woes
The service at El Abajeño can be efficient but occasionally slow. Catering to groups is a plus, the parking situation is dreadful with limited spaces and unaccommodating parking attendants. The noise level continues to be a concern in the perks section, creating a less than peaceful meal environment especially for people with children.
Okay Service
Some reviewers mention efficient service, while others note occasional slowness.
Bad For Kids
Can get loud and crowded, not ideal for a peaceful meal.
