This is Abuelo’s restaurant’s recipe for Chile con Queso aka spicy cheese dip. They graciously shared their exact recipe on their Facebook page and I made this queso el abuelo immediately.
It’s definitely a step up from the queso I usually make the kids, which is just Velveeta a can of Rotel and milk. Granted, my way is quick and easy! I only get to eat at Abuelos a few times a year when we are in Texas or Orlando, so I love being able to recreate their recipes at home.

Was wanting to make the Abeulo’s queso dip, but the Land O’ Lakes brand of cheese is sold to restaurants or everywhere I can order is like minimum of 6 blocks and over $100. Wondered if you had tried it using Velvetta brand?
I always use Velveta.
Can you post a recipe for their queso diablo?
I will try to figure it out.
I made this recipe and was a little disappoint as it has a very strong velveeta taste and very thick the one from the restaurant is not like that.
Sorry you were disappointed. Abuelo’s gave me the recipe so it’s the actual recipe. They have several different quesos now, so maybe this was just the wrong one.
Do you use velvets original or mexican or their queso blanco flavor?
I just use regular, but you could use any of them.
I love Abuelo’s Queso dip!! I’m going to try it tonight. Do you know how to make their Sour Cream sauce they put on the chicken enchiladas?
I do not, but if I ever figure it out I will let you know!
