We love going to the El Adobe restaurant. We met up with some friends to have a late afternoon meal. The ambience is so relaxing. And it was pretty quiet where we were seated. Once the dinner crowd comes in, it is a little bit louder, but not anything you’d find at any other restaurant. The food is great and the service is phenomenal. Thank you to the staff at El Adobe. We will always be back. It’s a family tradition. And now our good friends are also part of that tradition.

The service was amazing, and the food was a refreshing change from your typical Mexican cuisine, which made the experience even better. This is definitely a great place for a date night. The live music was wonderful—not too loud, but just enough to set the tone for a more intimate atmosphere while still allowing you to enjoy a great conversation. We also loved the artist’s song selections, which became a fun conversation piece throughout the evening. The area was quiet and relaxing, and the outdoor seating area was absolutely perfect. Overall, it was such a great experience, and we would definitely come back.

Food is solid. Had the taco plate with carnitas and al pastor. My guests had the mexibowls. It was the first time for them to dine here, and it looks like they’ll be coming back on their own. Service team was very responsive without being overbearing. Music could be a hair quieter, but overall was able to hold a conversation.

    We come here quite often. This time I tried the burrito with Carnitas. It was very good. The only problem was the thing was huge. So I ended up taking half of it home and had it for lunch the next day. We usually have an early dinner so there aren’t as many people in the restaurant. This helps with the noise level. We will be going back.
