"Abuelo's" Actually, it's in Lakeland, rather than Tampa. We like it, the food and service is good.

Had a funny experience there recently. When we arrived, we were told there would be a 15 minute wait and that they would "text" us when our table was ready. We went to the bar and sat. In about 5 minutes or so, a manager came over and said, "your table is ready." So we went with him to our table, ordered drinks, appetizers, then our dinner. Then after about a half hour meal, when the the server came to the table with the "standard phrase," "did you save room for desert," my Iphone buzzed with a text message. The message said, "your table is ready."
