LUBBOCK, Texas, Sept. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Abuelo's Mexican Restaurant, famous for its authentic, made-from-scratch Mexican cuisine and hand-crafted Mexican Margaritas, is celebrating Abuelo's Day by honoring their "Abuelo," Augustin de la Rosa. All Abuelo's locations will celebrate with all day food and drink specials.

Augustin de la Rosa was born on December 30, 1824, in Guadalajara, Jalisco. A Catholic priest, author, and respected leader of post-Spanish Mexico, he became known as "The Protector of the Children of Guadalajara." He used profits from his many business interests to affectionately feed the homeless, sustain escuelas, and instruct young students. De la Rosa was revered for his wisdom and compassion for children and was known as wise and holy. He died in Guadalajara on August 27, 1907, where he is permanently honored with a bronze statue at Plaza de los Hombres Ilustres in Guadalajara. This statue was the inspiration behind the "Our Abuelo" sculpture that holds a place of honor in every Abuelo's restaurant.

Guests who dine-in at any Abuelo's Mexican Restaurant location on September 8 can enjoy special pricing on Abuelo's favorites. Choose from:

$5 House Margaritas; rocks or frozen
$5 Grande Draft Beer
$5 Spanish Sangria Roja
$5 Chile con Queso
