Customer Reviews
Hmm
You can’t rate an Abuelita! But it would be nice to have updates on what happened after? Did the dates go well? Are they still together? More info please!
So Queer friendly and fun
The straight episodes can be a little cringy and annoying but the queer episodes are gold. They always make me laugh and feel good. I love all the creative answers and the beautiful personalities. The hosts take it down a notch and always throw in some realness which makes the show engaging. A good hug from abuelita.
Such a fun show!
I love the concept of this dating show! And I want to send so many friends to get set up! I love the dynamic between abuelita and vico, and all the games they play are such a good time. Maybe I should give AI (abuelita’s intuition) a try.
