This Place is really good! Last time I got the birria tacos but they gave me 3 tacos for 15 dollars so I sadly had to take a star away. But really good food! Try this If you're a Muslim craving Mexican Food. They also have more locations.

I don't like to leave bad reviews and understand nothings perfect, however this was a pretty disappointing order. I won't be coming back. Ordered the bowl and hardly any of the toppings I ordered were there, they put in random toppings I didn't ask for, and hardly put in any chicken and half of it was lettuce which I didn't even ask for (which is pretty ridiculous for something where the whole point is to customize and choose exactly what you want). Was pretty surprising as I see its highly reviewed/rated, maybe the person who made the order wasn't paying attention or something.
Response from the owner
We apologize for the mistakes with your order—that’s not acceptable and not our standard. Your bowl should have been prepared exactly as requested. We’ll be addressing this with our team right away. Thank you for bringing it to our attention.

I don't go in as often. I've lived in the area 40 years now and know how frustrating it can be to just stop in and pick up food at these local restaurants now a days but the last time I did stop in, I was pleased to see that the staff had dates and drinks out for Muslims to break their fast (during Ramadan). I feel this is a great gesture for the community. Besides that, the food never disappoints.
Response from the owner
We truly appreciate your kind words. Being part of the community is very important to us, and we’re so glad you enjoyed both the experience and the food

I had a lovely experience at Adobo while trying their burrito bowls. It was genuinely refreshing to see such thoughtful vegetarian options, which are quite rare to find in this part of the world. The tofu was especially well-prepared—flavorful and perfectly cooked—and the food overall tasted fresh and satisfying.<br>The service added to the experience as well; the servers were warm and attentive, with a special mention to Hamid for being particularly kind and welcoming. Overall, it was a pleasant and enjoyable visit, and I would be happy to return.
Response from the owner

I was so excited that I even got off the bus early so I could get there faster. I was on the train talking to my friend, showing her pictures of what I was about to eat on Pinterest. And when I finally arrived… the birria tacos had no flavor. The meat was dry, the cheese was dry, and the birria sauce had no taste at all.
Response from the owner
Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re truly sorry to hear that the birria tacos didn’t meet your expectations, especially after you were so excited to try them. What you described is not the quality or flavor we strive for, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Your feedback helps us improve, and we would really appreciate the opportunity to make this right. Please feel free to reach out to us directly or visit us again so we can provide the experience you were hoping for.

I tried to place an order thru the app but what I wanted wasn’t available so I went with something else. Once I went inside the store to pick up my order, the staff extremely friendly and inviting. I let the manager know about the app and he fixed it immediately. As a token of appreciation, he gave me what I actually wanted at no charge. These are some of the best tacos I’ve ever had and I will definitely be back soon.
Response from the owner
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We're glad our team could turn things around and make it right for you. It means a lot to hear that you enjoyed the tacos and felt welcomed by our staff. We'll be sure to pass your kind words along to the manager and team. We can't wait to have you back soon!

Excellent food. Great service. They guys were very hospitable. Build your taco or rice bowl kinda vibe. Quality of the food is great. I had 3 hard shell chicken tacos. They could add a little more protine in the tacos, but I will ask next time. Sauces are great. Got 2 three taco meals 2 Jarritos and chips and quest for $40. Very satisfied. They stay open until 3am. There is seating inside. Quiet at night in a very busy area by the court house, so it's probably very busy during weekday lunch hours.

I really like the fact that we have more halal Mexican food available now ! I enjoyed the platter with all the fresh veggies and lentils and different sauces. The honey chicken that I got for my bowl was not as flavorful I expected it to be so overall I would give it a 8/10

Omg the food was delicious!!! Best part: HALAL!! I got the crispy corn tacos with shredded chicken, Mexican rice, black beans, and lots of toppings. Loved every bite. I crave it now!!! Also got queso & spicy guacamole w/chips on the side. The spicy guacamole actually had a strong kick to it!!

Update review Aug 26, 2024: Went here earlier and shrimp was sold out. I haven't tried it yet. I got the honey chicken bowl again. It is slightly too salty in general. Wasn't the first two times. First time getting chips and queso and this is pretty small for $5.99. The chips also is salty. I get a bigger size of queso for same price at Qdoda. Hope this salt level is fixed. Also, the website you get points if you order from but it's more expensive! It be nice to have an app where customers can order from and get points.. Also, workers need to focus on the task at hand. He ask me what I wanted and after every topping, turned to talk to a coworker in Native language. If you can't multitask, serve customer first and talk after!<br><br>I been here twice this week! They just opened and the food is delicious! The quality, quantity and price is better than Chipotle. Earlier in the week I got the honey chipotle chicken bowl and it was so flavorful and tender. The first pic is of the honey chicken bowl. Tonight, I got the grilled chicken bowl which is the second pic. Both bowls were fresh and full! However, the grilled chicken was a little too salty as I ate more of it. I wanted to try the shrimp but the other day and tonight it was being made. I waited in the line for about 10 mins or so tonight and was informed it take 10 mins when it was my turn to order. I tried the tofu and it was tasty and would recommend to anyone who does not want or eat meat. I also got a tofu quesadilla.The paper bag ripped tonight from the side. The quesadilla box kept opening. Hopefully Adobo would get better quality of those down the line. Be sure to carry another bag as backup. A rewards system like Moe and Qdoda has would be nice! I would recommend Abodo and will return!

I recently visited Adobo Mexican Grill with my wife and was thoroughly impressed. I had both the steak and grilled chicken, and I was delighted to find out that the menu offers halal options. The steak was tender and flavorful, and the grilled chicken was perfectly seasoned and juicy. The quality of the food was exceptional, and it was clear that fresh ingredients were used. The ambiance was cozy and welcoming, and the staff was friendly and attentive. Overall, Adobo Mexican Grill offers delicious halal options and a great dining experience. Highly recommended!
