New restaurant scheduled to open at The Village at Cumberland Park

LUBBOCK, Texas – Construction is well underway on the new Abuelo’s Mexican restaurant, which is scheduled to open at 8926 South Broadway at The Village at Cumberland Park in mid-October. This will be Abuelo’s first location in Tyler and the company’s 40th location nationwide.

The new Abuelo’s will feature approximately 7,700-square-feet of interior space and will include an outdoor, trellised patio. It will also feature a natural light skylight over an interior courtyard. The restaurant will seat approximately 295 guests and will employ between 80-100 employees.

The new location will offer the same great Mexican food available in all Abuelo’s restaurants, featuring creative, made-from-scratch Mexican specialties, superior service and affordable prices.

“Our theme at Abuelo’s is ‘welcome to our home,’” said Robert Lin, president of Food Concepts International, Abuelo’s parent company. “Our goal is to offer our guests an opportunity to experience diverse flavors every day, in an authentic Mexican villa with superior service at a great value – whether it’s for a quick lunch with co-workers or a casual dinner with family or friends.”

Abuelo’s, which has consistently been on the leading edge of Mexican cuisine, is famous for its creative, made-from-scratch Mexican cuisine, superior service and affordable prices.
