Adobe Cafe - One chicken and one beef enchilada!! - Tex-Mex Near Me - New Braunfels, Texas

My husband and I wanted dinner and we went here with a friend from out of town, it was great! We decided to try it again just us. And it did not disappoint, large group was waiting for a table and since it was just my husband and I, we were able to get sat immediately. Our service Marissa was helpful and answered our questions promptly. Greeting us like we were her regulars who she saw weekly and giving us her experience. Chips and salsa were destroyed. Two Bowls of chips and two bowls of salsa. Husband ordered a Mexican dinner and he enjoyed it. Enchilada taco plate (no picture sorry). I ordered the grilled taco platter and it was beautiful. Marissa added a sauce that was perfect to dip the tacos in. And her suggestion of extra tortillas were perfect for when the tacos fell apart because I'm a messy eater. Chipotle sauce. Just (chefs kiss). When you come here, in our experience, the food is delivered quickly after you order it. This place appears to be perfect for any size group. A nice bar and large seating area. The decor is traditional Mexican restaurant. Everything was great and we will be attending this place again. read more

The best margaritas in New Braunfels! One of the few places where they serve it frozen and it stays frozen while you drink it. Service is always excellent. The complementary chips and salsa are delicious. I've never had any food that I didn't like. There are always numerous management people on the floor and always very kind to stop and talk. This is the best Mexican food in New Braunfels and it's a nice atmosphere read more

Tortilla soup was chicken in a very,very, very salty beef broth. A small slice of avocado and lime slice on the side. No cheese as on the menu or any other additions to the broth. Chips and salsa and tortillas were just ok. Service was good. Gluten free menu available. read more

Adobe Cafe never disappoints. It's our go-to restaurant for the best vegan enchiladas! Everyone is always on friendly and the service is exceptional. Highly recommended! read more

Adobe cafe never misses. I have been as a party of 1 and a party of many with children and without and the staff is always on it and everything is accurate and delicious! Best in town. read more

Dependably very good to great Tex-Mex fare! Their Mariscos are tasty, fresh, & muy flavorful and the Tex-Mex Platters are hard to beat for delicious, simple food! Service is consistently attentive but not cloying; looks like they've been trained to gauge that and back off some. Restaurant and attached cantina are clean and seemingly well maintained. Inviting atmosphere. Worth the visit! read more

I can never ever recommend this place after what I became aware of following our meal at Adobe Cafe. It started off on the wrong foot with their rigid policy: no seating until our entire party of 20 had arrived. As if large groups always show up simultaneously. Eventually, we rounded up our birthday guest and family then were seated. To be fair, our waitress was professional and handled our group admirably. But as the evening progressed, I noticed something else--Adobe is clearly overstaffed. That might explain one of the more subtle issues: as they used to say, "Where's the beef?" But the new question should be, "Where did that beef come from?" I made the mistake of ordering the Carne Guisada--a dish that, when done right, is rich, savory, and unforgettable. What I received was unforgettable all right, for all the wrong reasons. I eagerly took my first bite, only to find a forkful of fat and gristle. I tried again--same result. My wife gave it a shot--same issue. Now, I'm not one to send food back or make a fuss while dining. But this situation was out of my control. I notified the waitress, who kindly asked if I wanted the dish cooked again. I politely declined. Here's the truth: the cut of meat was absolutely the poorest quality I've ever been served at a restaurant that prides itself on upscale dining. The chef likely did the best he could with what he had--but what he had was subpar. This wasn't a one-off mistake. Restaurants don't get to make mistakes like that. The issue wasn't in the kitchen--it was in the purchasing. Adobe is a busy restaurant, and this was early in the evening. It's unlikely they had run out of quality cuts. The problem, I suspect, lies with whomever is responsible for sourcing their meat. Good meat is available. But someone is clearly choosing the cheapest option to protect profit margins. If that's the case, the owner should at least manage the staff more closely. Many of them were standing around chatting while service lagged. Bottom line: the food didn't match the price, the meat didn't match the reputation, and the experience didn't match the hype. read more

Perfect place to fill your belly after a long day of water activities in the Texas heat! The margaritas are PEREFECT. Everything you're looking for in a frozen margarita. Or if you choose, get a huge mug of draft beer to wash down your chips. Now I'm not one to get food that isn't the type of cuisine of the restaurant, however, my husband tested the chicken fried steak topped with Queso and pico, and both of us agree, it's the best chicken fried steak we've ever had. And that's saying a lot coming from two home-grown Texans. The batter is so perfectly light and crispy, steak tender, and the jalepenos on top add the perfect kick. My quesadillas and enchilada were perfectly satisfying, and overall, we left with me complaining I ate too much. When in New Braunfels, eat at Adobe Cafe. read more

Today, I went to Adobe for lunch with my husband. I noticed a string in my rice and politely notified my server. He took it to the kitchen, and I believe the manager came over. The manager mentioned he would speak with me, which I was okay with. He waited until my meal was nearly finished, but I had already asked to take it home because I wasn't hungry anymore. What bothered me was the manager expecting me to pay for the meal despite there being an issue with it, even though he was offering to give me another one. I wasn't expecting a free meal--I simply wanted my rice replaced. However, I did not ended up leaving with a free meal because they took my plate and I was still charged for it. The lesson I take from this experience is to always check your food before eating and remember that you might still need to pay for the meal, even if there's a problem. read more

We were going to San Antonio, and my parents always stop here, they have been here at least 30 years... probably more... but the owners have really taken care of the place, they have renovated and expanded. It looks very clean and modern and bright. Just as good as it used to be, sometimes even better. I had the chicken with poblano creamy sauce. Tortillas were fresh off the grill, I will definitely be back. The service was good. And quick. A little slow on the refills Other than that was amazing. A family tradition. read more

The food was great. Especially the turmeric rice which is served with pretty much every dish. The margaritas to go are amazing.

The manager today told me not only that my requested meal modification could not be done in the kitchen but all the times in the past that my request was honored were wrong. read more

Dang!!! This place actually rocks. Have never been before, decided to try it out on my way to play a gig in town. I ate at the bar during happy hour - ridiculously good margaritas! The Mexican martini was okay, not my favorite. The salsa is SO delicious. I ordered the (3) enchilada plate. Two cheese, one ground beef. I did the standard sauce on the cheese but the chipotle sauce on the ground beef. Power move! Friendly bartenders and super cool vibes inside. Absolutely coming back! read more

I do not ever bother to write reviews, yet feel compelled to do so today. It has been a long time since we've dined at this location. It was disappointing today for lunch. First what stood out were what appeared as the floor 2 mangers standing off to the side talking while we were looking for a person to show us to a table. They did not even bother to acknowledge us, nor get the missing host. 1 of the floor mangers did run our meals out to us, yet he placed side orders out first, when the entree is the main course and should be placed in front of the guest first. The food was not seasoned, tasted very commercially prepared. Both guacamole and shredded cabbage were definitely just tossed on my plate straight from their commercial packaging. The grilled tacos were good & tasty, had 1 steak and 1 chicken breast, yet not much cheese or anything else. No good sauce to add to the tacos, the ranch dressing was definitely just bulk, not house made. The black beans & Mexican rice were nicely seasoned. My husband had okay tortilla soup & a very basic salad. And the iced tea was served warm enough to melt all the ice in my glass. Will be quite a long while again before we go back! Update: just read Fred, the owners response, he checked his cameras to verify my actions. And claims I am very wrong about my comments. Funny, I expected that from reading his other responses. What do I have to gain when sharing my experience with others? Yet he feels the need to be defensive. My dissatisfaction with the meal should not be so very defended, it should be a BLAST, b-believed, L-listened to, a-acted on, s-satisfied, T-thanked. read more

So we were in the neighborhood so we had to stop and get my steak fajita quesadilla and hubby got the beef chimichanga this time. Well he said the beef was better than the chicken! He loved it. The only way they can improve our meals is to upgrade the chips and salsa. The chips were a little stale today. We love the drive through service for our to go orders. read more

I went here for the first time on Mother's Day and was pleasantly surprised. Although they were busy, food and drinks still came out quickly and high quality. Was impressed and took more family there the following weekend and they all loved it too. Steak quesadilla are probably the best ones I've ever had! Favorite Mexican in NB for sure! read more

We went to Adobe Cafe for the first time, we were not disappointed. Everything was top notch the food, service and atmosphere. We could not have asked for more. We had the sizzling fajitas for two. It was outstanding in every way from the very tender beef and the ample portion. We had plenty to take home. Not a drinker but did enjoy the Margarita. We will return.. read more

Best queso ever, get the large bowl it's worth it. Great food and drinks! Can be busy so you may want to call ahead. read more

Adobe Cafe - Pink coyote - Tex-Mex Near Me - New Braunfels, Texas

This is from my brother in law: What kind of a place literally 'Rains on a poor girl's birthday?!!' We had brought in a birthday cake for the birthday girl. Mind you, we have NEVER been to a restaurant or cafe that absolutely FORBIDS serving our birthday cake. So disappointing!!! We will never return to this place! Adobe Cafe used to be a great place to bring family. They also used to honor Military members, giving them a discount. This family of 20 just decided to boycott Adobe Cafe. My husband's carne guisada plate was horrible!!! The meat was a cheap cut, tough meat, gristle in each bite I tried a piece & immediately spit it out in a napkin. It was so inedible, he had to order something else. My husband was so outraged, he was looking for the owner. Manager told us he wasn't available. He didn't offer for us to leave a message for the owner (so he could get back with us). read more

Man, they sure had me the first half here. Decided to come here after a day of Schlitterbahn, hungry. And tired. What I adore about Mexican food places are chips and salsa. We ate the first basket and was checking the menu and they said they charge for refills! Of chips! I was disappointed, shocked, and sad. Then our awesome waitress strolled by and refilled them, and the salsa. Asked how much it was and she said "oh we really don't charge for refills if you're ordering food". Phew. Let the debauchery of chip eating begin. Chips and salsa were on point. Food was amazing, for a "river town". I say that because you go to other places and they just aren't very good. It's the beggars can't be choosers thing, but this is a damn gem. Fajitas were good. Enchiladas were awesome. Was a great meal. Next year, we will be back. Went ahead and uploaded a menu for you guys to help choose what you want on your way here. Syoy read more

We frequent Adobe Cafe quite often because of their delicious food and A1 service. Mango margs are the best...

Great experience, pretty good food, fair prices, speedy and friendly service. I recommend.

This was my very first time in Texas and had never tried Tex-Mex food before. The hostess was very friendly and efficient, although they were busy we were seated immediately. Within the next couple seconds, our server Caroline, greeted us with chips and salsa and was very charismatic. She made us feel welcomed, she even offered us the spicy salsa which was so delicious. She was knowledgeable on the menu and recommended us dishes that fit our taste buds since my husband and I are selective eaters. The food came out HOT, quick and delicious. My husband and I ended up sharing the sizzling fajitas for 2. They were so tender, portions was great and the Spanish rice was so flavorful. We even tried the cheesecake which was so creamy and beautifully presented. Overall, this experience was truly memorable. We will be coming back! THANK YOU CAROLINE! read more

Had lunch at Adobe today with my wife. Megan W was our server and she went above and beyond expectations to take care of us. She helped navigate the menu based on some dietary restrictions and brought in her very helpful manager to answer some of our questions. Food was fantastic but the service is what will bring us back when we are in the area. read more

Dropped by for lunch with my daughters. Adobe Cafe has been around for a long time and probably a New Braunfels staple. I had the cheese enchiladas with rice and beans. and both my daughters had chicken enchiladas. My enchiladas were definitely good but I have had better. My daughters really liked their chicken enchiladas because they cleaned their plates. The rice and beans are good, but once again I've had better. One surprise I had is the corn and flour tortillas are homemade and I do love homemade corn tortillas. Our server was nice and after she took our order the food came out of the kitchen very quickly. I hadn't been here in many years but they really have kept the restaurant up to date. It even has a separate bar area. I don't live in New Braunfels but I will tell you this is a very popular place during lunch. read more

The food was salty and cold when we got it they used sandwiche cheese instead of real cheese

Love, love our experience there! We're from North Carolina and were vacationing in the area. We were looking for a sports bar so we can watch some football while we ate. There are several tv screens spread throughout. The food is awesome!!! For appetizer, we both enjoyed the fried mushrooms the best so don't forget to try them. read more
