First time i ordered they were great, now it’s consistently garbage the past few times i ordered.<br><br>The steak is not only dry to the point of being jerky, but it’s also cold and they skimp out on it too. They forget half of my order, forgot my queso, it’s just gone downhill so hard I’m not giving them my business anymore.<br><br>It’s a shame. If they kept the quality they had from the first time i ordered I would keep buying.

Me and my friend wanted to check this place since we've never been. The place is like Chipotle but slightly cheaper. But damn the food was delicious, I had the burrito bowl, which had a student discount. And man it was filling, the workers even seem to add a little extra and seem cool about asking for a little more. The workers were really nice and even gave my friend a free water, when he asked for a refill for his water bottle. The interior is a bit dirty but nothing but a simple clean can't fix. Overall I really enjoyed my experience and the food. But I do hope they do check student IDs for the burrito bowl discount, I asked the cashier if I need to provide ID but she said it fine, but when I do come back I'll continue to ask since this place has given me a fine time.

The food here is really good and the service is good as well. They need a lobby check but other than that it's good

The food is fresh and the staff is wonderful. Good option for a quick bite. The best part of this place is they offer variety of sauces to choose from.

Adobo on 3rd ave - A Truly Exceptional Experience!<br>I recently had the pleasure of dining at Adobo Restaurant, and I can confidently say it was a truly exceptional experience from start to finish. While the food itself was fantastic—authentic, flavorful, and perfectly spiced—what really set this establishment apart was the incredible level of service and the genuine warmth of the staff.<br>The entire team was attentive, friendly, and went out of their way to ensure a memorable meal. However, a special shout-out must go to the manager, Hassan.<br>Hassan is the epitome of excellent hospitality. He was welcoming, highly visible on the floor, and clearly dedicated to making sure every guest was well taken care of. He took the time to check in with our table, offered personalized recommendations, and handled a minor seating request with grace and immediate action. His leadership clearly sets a high standard for the rest of the staff, who mirrored his professionalism and positive attitude.<br>If you are looking for a restaurant that offers not just delicious food but also unparalleled service driven by an amazing team and an outstanding manager like Hassan, look no further than Adobo. Highly, highly recommended!

It was my first time visiting (here for work from VA) and I never felt so welcome and serviced with this kind of restaurant.<br><br>I ordered the chicken and steak half-and-half burrito bowl and it was worth every bite. I didn’t feel like it was too salty like other places it had plenty of flavor and I was definitely full after the meal<br><br>10/10 would recommended

I ordered food. Half of the food had the wrong things on it. There are no sauces on the nachos. There were sauces specifically asked to have the sauce on the side it wasn't even included in the bag. The fries had beans on it after asking for no beans

Food was really good, better than chipotle. Staff was energetic, nice and seemed happy to be there. Food portions were good, plenty of choices. Not bad for being across the street from my office. I will definitely eat here again.
