We love the fish tacos here. Typically I get a regular fish taco and one al pastor style, and Im always debating about which one I like better. Their regular ground beef tacos are good as well, and everything else I have tried has been fine. Also love their bean dip with the green salsa. I have not specifically asked on ingredients, but have always been fine of the gluten side of things as long as the tortillas are corn.
First off, I feel bad for not writing this review six months ago. Now that weve addressed things, lets get down to business.Every time I step inside, Im greeted with a smile. The staff here is friendly, efficient, and ready to take your food, drink orders. My friends and I sat outside for breakfast. The setting was perfect. The sun was up, drinks were flowing, and our food arrived quicker than we anticipated. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and of course, made with love.El Adobé has been in business in Midtown Reno since 2000. The owners put their family recipes on display daily. I strongly suggest ordering one of everything that your eyes find appealing. Ive had just about everything on their menu and still cant get enough.Thank you for taking a moment to read this. I hope it helps encourage you to stop in and eat Raúls food. Enjoy!
Best fish tacos I have ever had! Definitely recommend
So good! I tried the number 12 one of the best chile rellenos I have ever had everything was great including the Cadillac margarita!
Enjoyed our lunch out on the patio this afternoon. Food was good, service too. Salsa was a little hot for me. I also prefer thinner tortilla chips. Will definitely return.
The best enchiladas!! And well poured margaritas :)
Enchilada & taco plate was Absolutely delicious! I got chicken this time around. Ill try the beef next time :) two shots of tequila to wash it down
Service was good but the food was just OK. The chimichanga was really small and the strawberry margaritas tasted like I could have made it at home. The food was not bad but not great either. Had steak and shrimp fajitas…great potion but just OK taste. We had 5 people (3 adult meals, 2 kids meals and 2 margaritas) for $100. So ok priced considering we had 2 margaritas.
Every time we come to Reno this is a must stop. Always good food and friendly service
Good food. I wish they made real horchata.
Excellent service, good food. Salsa is too hot to enjoy. Chips not so great.Response to owner comments, I made it a 4... server did not offer different salsa. I think for the general public, salsa should not be so hot and people can ask if you have something hotter. Everyone at our table thought chips didnt have much flavor. Not sure why... we used to go to another place in So Cal....they made thick chips for their salsa/chips and nachos. They switched to chips like yours, which I think came from a bag. Sorry.... maybe they need to be warm or something...
Great patio seating and awesome margaritas and food chips and salsa are awesome too. Waiters are very friendly and attentive I love coming here over and over and over.
Birria was very salty. Tasted good as left overs
We eat here every other month. Service is always excellent. Always greeted warmly as if were family. Love Mele; she is a sweetheart. I always order the same thing the Shrimp a La Diabla. The spouse orders always switches the orders arounds and is always pleased. The Cadillac Margaritas are great. I try not to order 2 if I want to function after dinner. I always look for the 20% coupon. I always bring out of town company here. Cant say enough nice things about the restaurant or the staff.
Came in this afternoon for lunch with my wife and father in law. Such a great experience. Ive had El Adobe prior, but it was during take only covid and take out just isnt the same. So we ate inside to escape the heat. Very clean and inviting place with very friendly staff. I ordered a bowl of menudo, and it was just as I had expected. A little spice, and delicate pieces of meat. My wife loves the Chile Rellano and ordered it this time as well. My wife loved her order today.Another MUST stop by and enjoy supporting local businesses!
Well its Applebees. A weekly visit is a must
The vibe is always on point & the food is untouchable! The staff is upbeat & welcoming
The food was good, the atmosphere was pleasant, and the service started off great ... then, the server started offering us to-go boxes while we were still eating; then, later, when our glasses were empty, it was like he forgot about us. If the service were consistent, we wouldve thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
Amazing food amazing atmosphere just downright good great fantastic thank God I live nearby cuz I drink there too
Posole and menudo are the absolute best here !
Always great, with the construction done on Virginia easy to get to. Rails black Cadillac, yum
I ordered some takeout chicken mole. It was incredibly tasty. And Ive eaten several hundred super burritos in San Franciscos mission district while I lived there.The staff was quick and friendly when I went in to grab the food, too.
Always great authentic Mexican food.
Margaritas! Mahi tacos! Been coming here for 15 years, and it only gets better. BEST MEXICAN FOOD IN RENO!!!
Its always great. Every time. Been going there for 19 years and the food and service are always excellent.
El Adobe has always and still has amazing food and service! Be sure to stop by!
Very friendly wait staff. Good food and large drinks. Tried the Chicken Enchilada with fried eggs on top. Unique and delicious. Great atmosphere. Go to for Cinco de Stinko!
First time visiting, great experience! Service was fast and professional. Food was delivered hot and delicious! Had the #25, carnitas, and it was great. The menu is fairly big, options for all tastes. Highly recommend giving this place a try.
They were very nice to us, having great customer service skills. The food was really good too. They followed the new rules set by government and the patio was clean and safe.
Family owned and operated, delicious food, strong drinks, friendly staff...what more could there be?
Best fajitas and horchata I’ve had so far. Big portions, excellent fast service.
Family thought it was good. I had the fish tacos. Wifey had nachos. Daughter had the chicken burrito. All were good. It was a pretty happening place. We had takeout, but I would like to come back and eat in. I would also like to try a margarita next time.
Very very very noisy!! Waited Long time to get food, had to yell to hear across the table. Great mole but wont be returning
Great service and pricesMargaritas very good
Excellent food. Our server was outstanding!!!
Great food for the price.
Ive been coming here for years!One of my favorite dishes is Mole.A family ran place that will never ceases to stop being popular
Very good! Prices have gone up, smaller portions than a few months ago, but like other dining establishments, trying to survive and continue to serve the locals during pandemic.
Food was really good. Service was awesome! Glad to be out of the house during the pandemic!
Food was fair. Service was fair. Staff kept hitting me in the back as they walked by, because the aisle was so small. Parking lot was a mess. Real small spaces making it hard to maneuver through.
Delicious food and great margaritas.
Really good local restaurant
Last 2 times the food was not like its been for years and service was horrible waited for ever to order and had to ask for the check 3 times
Terrific Mexican fare! In the heart of Mid-town!
I finally found a Mexican food restaurant in Reno that I love! The atmosphere was fun, clean and comfortable. The service was spot on and the food was amazing! Nice big portions :) if I had to make a complaint..it would be that the salsa wasnt my cup of tea..but it wasnt bad. I would definitely recommend
Great food and service. Seriously! The service staff is so friendly! The food is consistently good. ENJOY!
I love this place... fish ceviche is really 👍
Good Mexican food and drink!
The food is great and they have great service. It is also awesome to support a local establishment.
The mullet enchiladas were excellent! It was a beautiful day and we were able to eat outside.1😋
Honestly customer service was excellent no complain about it. food is very pricey and no so good menudo is very spicy, horchata very sweet that I ended up adding more water and nacho no bueno !!!
Great service, everyone was super friendly and tacos were great!
Love this place, theyve been here for many years and always have some of the best food drinks and service in town
Great food
Food and drinks were delicious. Friendly attentive service. Large outdoor dining area.
Consistently great food and great service in this family-owned restaurant. This is exactly the sort of business we should be supporting during these times, youll be glad you did.
Its kinda surprising how popular this place is with a less than joyous staff.The wait staff mostly men are semi-robotic in their mannerisms & friendliness.The food is fair, but predictable.
Loved it. First time there and they were amazing and food was awesome
Terrible night. Was supposed to be a night out with our significant others (8 people, 1 family). Had to sit 4 to a table and completely separated because of COVID, even though we were outside and are family, but charged us GRATUITY on our check because they brought us one check for the two tables because we showed up together. Service was rude, had to ask for more chips 3 times, then got charged for extra chips just in case they were wasted which they werent. $400 bill for less-than remarkable food, drinks, and service. Asked about gratuity because we were not a party of over 6 anymore - should have been on 2 checks anyway - and all we got was attitude and blaming it on the boss. Sad and wont be back.
Friendly and fast service. Raul and his staff are always welcoming. The food is so good and plentiful. If you leave hungry it will be your own fault. Enjoy!
I could eat these tamales for every meal. Finally found the best tamales in Reno! Great quality food and delivery is quick and comes in packaging that doesn’t make the food nasty (this is actually an issue with some places). Writing this While I eat my breakfast tamale...
Enjoyed very good food
Great service! Outstanding chili verdi!!
Great experience with Fantastic restaurant. The service was excellent. The food tastes very good. environment clean and nice. I Recommended El Adobe Cafe.
I’ve been eating at El Adobe for years. The food has always been great and the staff as well. It’s my favorite mexican restaurant in town.
The shrimp tacos were amazing and amazingly HUGE! so good.
El Adobe is one of our favorite restaurants in Reno. The food is absolutely stellar, the drinks are amazing, and the service is always on point. Not only is the restaurant phenomenal, but their catering service is great as well. We had our wedding catered by El Adobe and it made our special day even more perfect. Raul, the owner, is a perfect gentleman. He assured that everything was ready to go and there was no stress at all. We had the best tacos and enchiladas of our lives. If youre ever in Reno, stop on by and get some lovely food. We strongly recommend El Adobe.
Awesome food, had the chicken mole. Cant find that dish back home in Houston.
Best mole sauce ever
I would rate this 100 stars, but I can’t. Took a whim at coming here for dinner as the ramen place across the street was too busy. AMAZING FOOD AND SERVICE!!! Margaritas are on point, food is amazing and would eat every day if i could. This place deserves 5 stars, no doubt about it!!
Super good food and fast, friendly service. Muy authentico!
Fast and friendly service. The Homemade salsa is to die for! As a matter of fact my son and I bought 8 ounces each on the way out!
WAY! over priced. Weird menu item combinations. Carnitas was just chunked up pork cubes that were bland and anything but tender. The Asada looked exactly the same and was also severely bland. I couldnt even tell the difference between the Carnitas and Asada. Two tacos, beans and rice almost $20.Give me a break! This seems like the type of place the people who dont know any better go to.
Hallelujah Hooah!
Always delicious food and great service. Been going here for many years.
Awesome service and the food and drinks were top notch!
Beautiful people, scary neighborhood
Best place to eat and great customer service. We have had the chicken tacos, beef, and birria (my fav). We also had the mole there also amazing! When you dine in enjoy a nice margarita !!!
My new favorite Mexican restaurant in Reno! Great Margaritas and food. Try the Black Cadillac margarita!
Great experience with El Adobe Cafe! The team is wonderful. Excellent quality food, well prepared. Flexible menu,I would highly recommend them
Always get spectacular service and food here... definitely try the on the rocks margarita
Great Mexican faire. Good prices. Excellent staff. Raouls Cadillac Margarita is Yummy! First come, first served with a nice spring/summer outside patio.
The food was pretty good and the melon margarita was great! But the atmosphere was not good due to heavy metal music blaring from the kitchen. And the price of the food and drink was a little high.
Always, great food and service!
Delicious food, fun atmosphere, fast friendly service, reasonable prices. I mean, what else can you ask for? Go try it out, thank me later.
Amazing service great food
Great service great food
So Delicious! Had a Raspberry Margarita and chicken Mole Enchiladas with rice and beans!! Yummmm!
Been eating here for years and have never once had a bad experience. The service is top notch & the food is quite excellent for the prices. El Adobe has a fan for life here.
Wonderful, flavorful food and great service!! My husband had the Chili Colorado. Hes really a picky eater and he loved it! I had the taco, enchilada combo - both delicious! We were looking for a place where the tortillas for the tacos were fried and not just warmed up. The singer - guitarist was a nice addition. All in all, the perfect dinner.
