In Short
This spot has wood-paneled walls, low ceilings, Native American wall hangings and teal-and-pink wooden booths. Start with mushroom quesadillas with creamy goat cheese and a tangy balsamic exterior, or slightly sweet fried yams topped with salsa and cheese. Menu staples, such as enchiladas and nachos, are satisfyin. Same goes for out-of-place entrees such as salmon with wasabi and balsamic vinaigrette.

The Adobe is horrible, it was dark and dingy, the ceiling was falling down in the bar area, the waiting area and the bar area were dirty, there were flies along with other insects flying around from the side door being open. It was dark and I felt like they were trying to hide something. They had two televisions on one you couldn't get a clear picture and the other one was so small from the end of the bar you couldn't tell what inning the Phils were in. The margarita's were weak and not tasty at all. I will never go back and spend my hard working money there.

I swear that they put something in the food at this place that makes me addicted! I could go a couple of months without eating at this place but as soon as I do, I crave their food for the next two weeks! They have a diverse selection for vegetarians and vegans, but beware that the cheese (even though soy) is NOT vegan. Although everything I've had is fabulous, I recommend the seitan tacos, sweet potato fries, and their margaritas are pretty darn swell, too! My favorite restaurant in the Philly area!

some friends recommended adobe cafe, so i went on line and read the reveiws. some were good but at least half were bad. i wanted to try it for myself. i walked in and the place looked cute, beautiful patio area. there was alot of atomosphere and alot of atifacts on the wall, including mexican or southwestern rugs( that when you look at the tags on the back they say IKEA). the mojitos where great!! i ordered the taco salad with shredded chicken. when it came to the table, the etible bowl looked good but the shredded chicken was unrecognizable. at first i didnt know what it was.(mush). the flavor was ok. my partner matt ordered the carne asada and said that the meat was tender and delicious. so all and all it was just average, although the service was great!! somebody should call gordon ramsey, because the place needs help with the food, could be great but its more like taco bell.
