    We attended a very busy Friday night. Our table was in darkness. Neither the menu nor the food could be seen. Battery operated table lamps should be available for tables without overhead light. The guacamole was watery with little flavor. Wasn’t it made at the table previously? The salad had very little dressing. Entrees were ok. The flan was delicious! A very disappointing night for a place we have previously enjoyed very much.

    Food was not good. Chips were so hard I thought I would break a tooth. We had fajitas and asked for one extra flour tortilla and got charged $2.50. The regular blended margarita tasted like blended tequila. We had to return it because it tasted so bad. Ambience is great but the food is not. The service was not great either. Our waitress seemed annoyed that we didn’t like the margaritas and was defensive. We had to ask for extra tortillas multiple times. I would not return.

    We had a beautiful evening at Adobe Grill. We sat outside under the stars on their open and expansive patio. Live dinner music was playing which added to the ambience. There were so many delectable entrees on the menu it was hard to decide. The food was outstanding and was the service. The servers were warm, friendly, accommodating and very helpful. Maria waited on us and was so bubbly, joyful and attentive. The evening could not have been better. We will be back again and again!

    Felt like we were on a Disney Cruise ship. Not that we have ever been on one but one can imagine. Overrun with noisy kids, large parties celebrating birthdays and corporate groups or convention attendees. Not a place to go if you are looking to relax and enjoy mex and margaritas. The food was what you would expect from a large hotel - overpriced and blah blah. We should have known better. Giant courtyard patio is the family and group party deck. Avoid it.
