Abel's Cantina - Grayslake

Elizabeth greets us every time we come in and makes sure we enjoy Abel's. This is a great neighborhood establishment that makes everyone feel like family.

We went there to see a blues band that was fantastic. Other than that, I wasn't impressed. The service was slow but friendly, and the whole place in general lacked any real ambiance. The food was OK, but nothing to rave about.

Good little local restaurant, food is good, proceed very well. Great drinks! $2 drafts

Just wish they would open up more days. Still on the short week from COVID.

Definitely not a pizza spot worthy of a visit... Pizza is overrated on the reviews. This was not expected after seeing many amazing pizza comments. Being a pizza lover and literally trying every spot on the north shore, I was dying to try. I would like to follow the bandwagon but I have to be honest. I 'd say at best a 1 out of 5 as a true and honest opinion. Do not let the photos deceive you.. I was excited upon arrival (as well as when it was brought out). The crust is definitely premade even if not totally taste like complete air, the cheese is extremely low quality for any restaurant that serves pizza (after 5 minutes of sitting it literally turns into plastic and becomes solid, 0 flavor at all) totally flavorless bar pizza,I boxed it up to go after a few bites. Not to insult but I blame myself for going to a Mexican restaurant for pizza. I have heard amazing things about their taco 's from several people on a positive note. The next time I return I will definitely give other dishes a try. I don 't mean to disappoint but the pizza is the absolute bottom for anything nearby.
