About The Original Grande
Let me introduce you to The Original Grande, a laid-back Mexican restaurant sitting right at 200 S Buckeye Ave, Abilene, KS 67410, United States, and already doing a lot of things right. From the moment you hear about it, the name feels familiar, and once you stop by, that feeling makes sense. This is the kind of place people mention when they’re craving real comfort food without the fuss, because the focus stays on flavor, speed, and that welcoming neighborhood energy. The menu leans into classic Mexican favorites that work for almost any schedule, whether you’re grabbing a quick bite between errands or settling in for a relaxed dine-in meal. What really stands out is how flexible the experience is, since you can swing through the drive-through, order takeaway, sit down inside, or even choose delivery when staying home sounds better. Late-night food is part of the appeal too, making it a solid option when most kitchens have already shut down. Portions are approachable, with small plates that let you mix things up, yet everything still hits that satisfying, comfort-food note people look for after a long day. As someone introducing this spot, I’d say The Original Grande fits perfectly into Abilene’s food scene because it doesn’t try to be trendy or overcomplicated. Instead, it keeps things simple, consistent, and easy to enjoy, which is exactly why locals keep it in their regular rotation. Whether you’re new to town, passing through Kansas, or just searching for a dependable Mexican restaurant with a casual vibe, this place makes it easy to feel like you’ve found a go-to option that works on busy days, slow evenings, and everything in between. It’s also a spot where consistency matters, where regulars know what they’re getting, and first-time visitors don’t feel lost, because the ordering process is straightforward, the atmosphere stays relaxed, and the overall experience feels built around everyday dining rather than special-occasion pressure.

Reviews
We drive from Salina just for this food every once in awhile. Even though the name changed it still tastes like the good ol Taco Grande from childhood. And the recent remodel is so nice! Indoors and out. The drive through has been updated, no more holes! And they added a patio with nice tables and umbrellas. Our family comes for the Sancho every time plus maybe a few tacos and taco burgers. The cinnachips are really good as well as their sauces.

Back when I first tried this place, way before their rebranding, I really, REALLY, didn't like it. My husband on the other hand enjoyed their food. It took me a few years with several tries sprinkled throughout to ... acclimate to the food here. Now I tried a handful of items off the menu throughout the past decade, and for a LONG time (years) I simply refused to eat the chicken soft tacos, because without fail, EVERY SINGLE TIME, I'd end up with bone fragments or bits of cartilage or something painful in my mouth. I must have had the worst luck ever, because my husband never experienced that. Luckily, since the rebranding, I haven't encountered that issue, and now all we order (on the rare occasions that we do) from here are the regular crunchy beef tacos, and the chicken soft tacos. They hold till the next day rather well, I've even eaten them 2 or 3 days out (I'm a big fan of leftovers, with a gut of steel apparently), and they are a fantastic vehicle to get my favorite hot sauce into my face. Now while I do like the food these days (sporadically), I would never call it Authentic Mexican Cuisine. In fact, we don't even call this place or it's food by it's proper name. We just call it "ghetto tacos" cause that's exactly what it is. No shame in that, it does it's job valiently, but it's defintely like ... dollar store Taco Bell? It works. So every once in a while my husband will look at me and ask "want ghetto tacos"? All in all, not a favorite place of mine, but much better than they used to be. I've included 2 pics of the beef tacos, and one of the chicken, so you'll be able to tell exactly what you're getting into.
