From the far north of the valley where the city of Cave Creek is located I've now traveled to the far south of the valley to Chandler Arizona a fast growing community where I worked many years ago. When I was working out there I would sometimes have lunch at Abuelo's Mexican Restaurant. This last spring I took a drive out there to have lunch there once more and I snapped these photos.
The word "Abuelo" refers to someone's grandfather and it looks like someone has put a statue of "Abuelo" in front of the restaurant. I don't think that was there when I used to eat lunch here.
I have a new post on Sharon's Sojourns today. I'm featuring my favorite place to stay when I visit Tucson.
Abuelo looks a bit like Abraham Lincoln. At least in attire.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was Lincoln too! The restaurant looks huge from the outside.
ReplyDeleteI bet Chandler has changed so much I wouldn't even recognize it from when I lived there in the early seventies. Brian was born in Chandler.
ReplyDeleteLooks a bit like grandfather's ghost from the quite weathered face.
ReplyDeleteAs someone who lived near Chandler in 2013, I can attest that it has indeed changed since the '70's.
ReplyDeleteLooks like quite a place, I hope their food was good :-)
ReplyDeleteI hope the lunch lived up to your memories of it Sharon ☺
ReplyDeleteCool sculpture!
ReplyDeleteSame thing as Steve.
ReplyDeleteNice composition in your first image. Put grandpa down in the corner.
