Not sure what’s happening with ABI at Arlington used to love their food BUT this Salmon a la plancha was disgusting! The sauce looks like it’s a few days old and so does the salmon! The broccoli was yellowish brownish. The lomo saltado was 70% onions! The lettuce was yellow! Old & spoiled food with super high prices!!! Im willing to pay the price for great quality food BUT this is unacceptable! I threw away $50 worth of food! It was carry out and a 45 min drive so not worth the drive back to return and get my money back! Very disappointed ABI hope you go back to your quality food soon!

I had called ahead for fried whole tilapia with rice and vegetable salad. The food was kinda dry, so the waiter got me some mushroom sauce. The tilapia was absolutely mouth watering and they had thrown in two corn tortillas. The food was divine!

Amazing service and food. Found this place after a recommendation from a friend. The owner and manager is kind and attentive and the food is AMAZING. The tamales are to die for. Love this place

Very modest and tucked away. Best nachos I’ve ever had. Not a ton of vegetarian options but enough to get by. Highly recommend trying it!

Got 2 pupusas, an enchilada and a burrito for just around 20 bucks. Pupusas were excellent, burrito a little salty but for the same price of a chipotle burrito with a heaping serving of guac and sour cream, this beats that hands down. Definitely on my list of blessed eats for value

This place was great! Came here because of reviews and was not disappointed. The Salvadoran enchilada was better than a regular enchilada in my opinion! Also, first time trying a pupusa and it was delish! Shared the meat platter with the boyfriend and it came out smoking and smelling fantastic. Everything was super well flavored. Didn’t try the margs but next time! Only down side is salsa is not thick and I like thick salsa.

I love this place. The area and location is a bit congested but the food here is great! The pork & cheese pupusas and the lorocco & cheese are on point! The Tamarindo drink and Tamal de Pollo was delicious. It’s been 5yrs since I last ate here but I won’t wait that long again!

I usually don’t leave reviews, but I have been a loyal customer for years and today I was very disappointed because they charged me a higher price than what was stated on the menu. When I brought it to the staff attention they said there was nothing they could do about it and didn’t seem to care. I understand that food prices have increased, but they should update their menu and be honest with their customers. I do like the food here, but there are plenty of other similar restaurants that do not lie about their prices. So my family and I are are not planning to return to this establishment.

Service and food sucks and gratuity is automatically included when they don’t deserve it.
