    Came here to celebrate my moms 88th birthday. The service was great, Betty was awesome! WE ordered flat bread, salads and sandwiches. Everyone was happy with their food. Ambiance is wonderful, we sat outdoors. We all took the train into town as it was a mid point and we walked from the train station to the restaurant.

    El Adobe is our go-to so when my American born brother was visiting from New Zealand, his request was for good Mexican food. Needless to say there are several choices for "Fancy Mexican" but he was looking for good authentic Mexican food. We understood the assignment and brought him to El Adobe. He was not disappointed in the least. We all enjoyed our meals! We each ordered the 2 item combo plates. My husband ordered 2 chicken tacos and my brother and I both ordered a cheese enchilada and chili relleno. So good. Only suggestion is, even with new offerings added to their drink menu, their margaritas fall VERY short from hitting the mark. Too much syrup, not enough tequila, not served icy cold. They have a great full bar, but it would truly elevate this historic restaurant to top drawer if their bartenders were afforded a mixology class on the art of tequila! Personal opinion.
