Abelardo's Authentic Mexican Food (35th and Center)

Anyone heard of Abelarado's opening a location at 35th and Center in the old Valentino's? Next to Richie's Chicken?

[bigredmed]

Was at Richies on Saturday and the work was being done. The Vals is gone. There is some little paper sign on the door showing people where the new delivery area is going to be from their new location. On the front of the building is a sign announcing that Abelardo's is moving in there. Didn't give an opening date.

Of course, eating there makes their name mean something. Go there too often and I'll be a lardo.

They sell some damn good food. I never understood why they go by Abelardo's and Alvarados.

[bigredmed]

Is it really the same people?

[Bomaha]

It's true and I am ridiculously excited. Carne asada nachos!

Whoever created the listing for it on the internet probably misspelled the name.

I heard they were the same owners and then they split up and now they have different names? Not sure if that is true or urban legend.

[Busguy2010]

I don't know if it's different now, but when I first ate there a few years ago, my friend referred to it as Alvarado's. The sign clearly said Alvarado's, but when you look them up for business information it's always Abelardo's so I was always perplexed. I should have taken note when I went there today.

Wonderful news. Super cheap and super good burritos!

[Ebburkrevus]

Still no Abelardo's on 35th and Center. What's the word?

[Coyote]

Saw their new marquee sign up the other day, but didn't see any notice of opening yet.

Three months later - they are still working, but look no closer to opening:

They heard I moved out of the neighborhood. Now they are going to open one next to the book worm at 90th and center...

[Coyote]

Five months later, Dang Brad, what did you tell them?

[Brad]

I have gone by there twice thinking they would be open, but nothing...

What did that building(s) start out as? It's not the ugliest conglomeration of structures in the city, but it sure looks hodge-podge.

When I lived in the area, I think Valentino's had a delivery operation out of there.

50 years ago it was an ice cream/dairy store called Evans----it was the go-to place for ice cream in Omaha.

Ricko, you and I recall that very well. I used to devour the root beer floats at Evan's Ice Cream.

[zippy]

I remember stopping at Evans; must have been in the early 70's. Does anybody remember what the "Red Baron" challenge was? My recollection is that is was a LOT of scoops of ice cream and a matching number of bananas, but I can't be specific about the number.

Now open. Almost stood Brad and his wife up last night after driving past this.

Lol, wonder what took you so long... You must have been circling the block a few times!

Hey, I had to walk all the way back to my car on the viaduct thank you ... Anyway I had to get a breakfast burrito and try this place out this morning:
