Abuelita's in South Richmond now has a drive-thru
Die-hard Abuelita's fans, this is not a drill. The South Richmond restaurant known for its Mexican guisos has a drive-thru.Why it matters: Bad days where you want to hide from the world are now (maybe) less likely to stop you from getting some of the best comfort food in the city.The big picture: Abuelita's took to Instagram to announce the drive-thru's Wednesday opening day — on National Drive-Thru day, no less.The video includes audio from a George Lopez comedy skit about someone getting food at a drive-thru where a Mexican worker is taking the orders.Yes, but: Abuelita's still wants first-time visitors to "come inside for the best Abuelita's experience," per at least three new signs near the entrances.Returning customers: The drive-thru is fair game.Sabrina's thought bubble: I braved a flash flood warning for this drive-thru. And I'd do it again.The entire process — being greeted with "Hola, bienvenido a Abuelita's," my indecisiveness, the server's recommendations of the pollo con queso and carne ranchera guisos and me paying — took less than three minutes.And now I have another excuse to not leave my house until tomorrow.
