Excellent food and really interesting drinks. Particularly liked the chili cheese wantons, elote, chicken adobo rice bowl. The margaritas, and the ube coladas are also great. We'll be back! read more

I've known about the Adobo food truck for quite awhile so I got excited when the brick and mortar opened about 10 minutes from my house! My husband and I split an order of Lumpia (suggested by our waitress), 6 for $6 wings (Wednesday's is wings night), chips and queso, and their taco mixed plate. The standout for me was the taco mixed plate... the Chicken Adobo was marinated perfectly, the Smoked Carnitas was delicious though a bit on the greasy side, and the pork belly was cooked to perfection. My only other complaint is I feel like they need either bigger tortillas or they need to double up on their current sized ones because the single tortilla couldn't stand up to the generous portions they put in their tacos. read more

It was just ok. Went in this afternoon, not busy at all. Service was ok. Seems like they had one person working front and bar and another working kitchen. Best thing was the crispy wings-but the sauces/flavors seemed like they are just bottled. We got the green chile and pork belly tacos. Good smoke flavor but bland. A fair amount of meat on each taco but the flavors just didn't work for me. It was just ok. read more

We got takeout from here for the first time and it was amazing. The queso was so good and there was a good amount included. Everything was really good flavors and this might be my new favorite spot. The churros did not disappoint. The staff here is so nice and will definitely come back. read more

Literally amazing. My husband and I wanted to try some local Filipino food, and while we thought it would be good, it BLEW US AWAY! Their house made hot sauce was bright and spicy but not too hot, and the chicken adobo taco with the pineapple was fresh and the flavors complimented each other perfectly. The wing breading was thin and crispy, and I'm not exaggerating when I say these were the best wings I've ever had. Our waitress was kind, and had great recommendations for us. The 70s and 80s music made the energy of the restaurant come together so nicely, and there was even a pool table. We would definitely come here again, and we hope to do so in the near future. read more

This place is interesting and I actually really enjoy the BOGO deal on Thursdays. Albeit I'm confused as to what the actual burger and bowl bogo is as a burger isn't even on the menu and the multiple rice bowls apparently depending on when and who you ask only one bowl is included? Really wish they could clarify the menu items. I regret ordering the fries and how off menu items are difficult to understand pricing read more

Best service I have had in a long time. Food was amazing. Enjoyed the Colorado, New Mexico and Philippine influence.

Favorite restaurant in Denver, food truck is somehow even better. Wings, green chili cheese fries, carnitas tacos, and chicken bowl are top choices of ours. read more

Despite being severely short staffed, our waiter gave us good vibes. Thank you! The moco loco dish was very salty and seasoned with straight soy sauce. My boys were happy with their traditional Filipino breakfast dishes! Thank you! read more

The hubs and I wanted to give this a try and the pieces fell into place this last weekend. We had tix to an event so got this to go. Both of us went with the classic chicken adobo rice bowl. Both of us were really impressed with the flavors and neither of us could finish our respective bowls because the portion was hearty. Customer service was great and our to go had our name and a little heart next ti it which I thought was a really sweet touch. read more

Food truck was at Zuni tonight and I cannot believe the way that we were treated. He was extremely aggressive with us about how much we tipped, and said he was going to make our portion size small because of it. Then he dared us to go to the restaurant and tip like that. We weren't being served, so 20% is not standard at a food truck. Then, we never got our food and waited almost 45 minutes for it before we noticed him closing up the truck completely and turned the truck on about to drive away. We ran up to the truck and had to stop him and ask if he was gonna give us our food and said "yeah, I guess I'll give you your food." It was freezing cold when we got it so I think his intention was to drive away until we stopped him. Also, he claimed he is the owner (which I hope wasn't true based on his behavior). read more

Stopped in for lunch and had outstanding service and amazing food! The lumpia and margaritas were especially delightful!

1. Lumpia were good 2. chiccarones look like the store bought kind, nothing special. 3. wings - dry 4. adobo rice bowl - now I have never had the Filipino version and the whole reason why I went here was for this - to me, it was a disappointment. The rice was very gingery and sour. Service was good. He was the only one working the bar and waiting tables but he was fast and efficient. Ambiance - although the exterior was very catchy but the inside does need a deep clean. The restaurant looks filthy as Cobb Webb were forming on and around the windows. Table we sat at was sticky. Silverwares and metal plates all have water spots. I can tolerate the mediocre foods, but the Cobb webs + dirty silverware and plates were surely gross to look at while eating my meal. Undoubtedly, this may have also contributed to making the mediocre foods even less enjoyable. 2 stars for foods and ambiance but plus 1 star for the service. read more

Great gem in a city filled with options. The menu offers a unique blend of fusion dishes that will satisfy your curiosity and your appetite. Must try the deviled eggs and the Rice Bowls are delicious. The service is excellent and you'll feel like you're right at home. read more

As a filipino transplant, I am so thankful to have found Adobo. They are a fusion of flavors that you will not be disappointed with. Their award winning carnitias tacos are award winning for a reason. Hard to find carnitas that are not dry. The pork is flavorful with a lime fig jam that compliments them perfectly. I am not a fan of sweet and you would think that the jam would make it too sweet but it pairs perfectly. The green chili has a unique smokey flavor and a spiciness that can easily knock you on your ass but not too spicy that you can't taste the flavors. I also had their adobo bowl which is a fusion of the original classic filipino dish. The fusion does not veer far off to the original native flavors and is still a comforting to a filipino transplant that often misses dishes of home. Must try is all I have to say! read more

Best Loco Moco in Denver! The foodand atmosphere were incredible and the weekly deals are hard to beat!

I have gone twice and both times they had a "skeleton" crew and instead of seating us and at least have water the woman just says thank you for waiting without giving us a chance to say anything. Will not try a third time. read more

I have passed by this place on countless occasions, thinking "gotta give them a try." Fast forward about a year, and finally making the realization that it's the same brick and mortar as the food truck I've ordered from several times already around Denver (Yeah, I'm not always quick on the uptake). Went in one weekend afternoon recently and had simply awesome food. My street tacos were ginormous and the vegetarian fare my friend ordered was delicious. Nick was our server that day, and was not just a great server, he was a tremendous ambassador for Adobo. This dude deserves a raise! Seriously: if you haven't, give 'em a try. I'll bet you're glad you did!! read more

Food is phenomenal, buuuuuut I've been here several times and every time, like clock work, it takes 45+ exorbitant minutes to get the (wrong) order. It's a delicious wrong order, but the service is seriously the slowest. Bangin' food, but the service is a Lèse-majesté. read more

Our waitress was such a good sport. She was literally the only front of house staff on a Thursday night. Obviously service was slow but we gave her some grace. The food was flavorless, the margaritas were small and also lacked any sort of flavor. The chips were very stale/hard and the queso was watery and tasteless. On my way out I stopped by the bathroom which smelled like raw sewage read more

I wish I took a picture because this was the BIGGEST burrito I've ever seen! Loved the taste of the green chili and had to make sure to breathe between breaths. They had a great deal on Sunday too for $1 wings, so had a few of them as well. Don't forget the green chili fries either! The place was large and was shocked to find it completely empty. Service was good too! read more

Incredibly delicious and unique cuising. Latin-Asian fusion with New Mexican flare. Make sure to get the Super Sampler to try some of their best apps. Taco tuesday deals are insane, too. $2 4-7pm every tuesday! The happy hour is also great and goes Tues-Fri 4-7pm. $1 off every single item on the menu. Do not sleep on this place. I crave their carnitas every week! read more

Amazing tacos and even better service! Andy was so helpful, friendly, and personable. Will definitely be returning soon!

I ordered the smothered burrito. It was huge and delicious! The owner is a sweet guy that has mixed his Filipino heritage with his New Mexico upbringing, so bring on the green chili! Support small business owner's read more

I am not from New Mexico, but have been there many times due to visiting family. Therefore, I was excited to find out about Adobo and its unique fusion of New Mexican and Filipino food. Their taco Tuesday specials are pretty much the best deal in town, with options for $2, $3, and $4. The staff is incredibly kind and attentive as well. There is also an ample parking lot on the side of the building, which is both rare and appreciated in this area of town. read more

Amazing food. Had 3 tacos and Lumpia. Lumpia 5 stars. Porky belly taco 4 stars. Smoked carnitas taco 5 star Adobo chicken taco 5 stars. Can't wait to come back and try more of menu. By the way, on Sundays $2 Modelo! read more

I've been wanting to try this place for a couple of years. I was excited to see Chicken Adobo on the menu, a dish that takes me back to my Filipino grandfather in the kitchen preparing this for us. The thought of it made my mouth water. It stopped watering once I ate it. It was flavorless. Quite disappointing. The lumpia was very good, fried to perfection. The Pancit was not traditional, but it was good. Complex flavors, noodles were cooked just right. Had the Smoked Carnitas taco. Sometimes you just need to forego the tortillas and just eat the taco filling, and this was one of those times. Crunchy, soft, a little spice, a little sweet, it was fantastic. I want to give a higher rating, but that Adobo will not allow me to do so. Service was very good. read more

Incredible food with very unique flavors. I've been a few times and always enjoyed everything. Tonight, I went on Taco Tuesday and not only was every taco was its own incredible dish, the pricing was fantastic. I can't believe how affordable it was. I can't wait to go back! read more

Great place, service has always been great. There bowls are reall well priced and delicious. There Sunday happy hour, wing special is decent. read more

As a NM native I was excited to try Adobo. I ordered a Fillipino Chicken Burrito Spicy Pinoy with extra meat smothered in red chile totaling $22.74. I received a large burrito that was 80% rice,10% meat and 10% Pinoy (Green Chile, Pineapple, Green Onion) and was extremely disappointed with portions given, especially since I ordered EXTRA MEAT. My extra meat burrito had less meat an $8 Chipotle burrito and apparently "smothered" here means you get about a table spoon of red chile on your rice burrito. To top it off tgey didn't all even bother to mix my $22 burrito so all of the meat and Pinoy were packed into the bottom half. The actual Adobo chicken was very tasty, too bad you only get a taquitos worth. read more

My partner and I have been talking about checking this place out for a while since it is so close to our house. Decided to give it a try on Sunday for brunch. We arrived a bit before 11 and aside from another couple, the place was empty. No waiter/bartender. Just the cook taking care of everything. Kiosk ordering is a bit weird but we rolled with it. We had hoped to grab a Bloody Mary but it wasn't offered yet (this was now after 11am) and there was still no waiter/bartender to be found. We moved from the bar which the chairs were so slanted we couldn't really sit in them to the dining area. Then we moved to 2 different tables because they were wobbly. The non-alcoholic drinks were also self-serve from the fridge and a water container. If you wanted ice with your drink, you were AOL. Since we weren't exactly off to a great dine-in experience, we decided to take our food to go. The food the only reason I'm giving any stars. My breakfast tacos were amazing as was my partner's burrito. I'd definitely order take out from there again but doubtful I'd be willing to try the dine in experience in the future. read more

We came here after the stock show on a Sunday. Apparently they offer HH all day on Sundays so you get $1 off every item. The booth we sat in was broken on one side and there weren't many people inside so we weren't sure what to expect. However, the server was nice and after a couple rec's, we received our dinner. The food and drinks were both great and the portion sizes were great. Will definitely be back! read more

I ordered our food on our way home from the Dr.s last night and I thought I had a pretty good idea what I was ordering. I'm born and raised Colorado, I have grown up on Mexican food both my mom's homemade tortillas and enchiladas to the various Mexican restaurants in and around Denver over the years. The girl who took my order was pleasant and friendly. My boyfriend ordered a ground beef smothered burrito for dinner but it came with steak instead. Steak that tasted like it had been under the heat lamp for far too long and the mixture of flavors was terrible. I tried a bite. He could only eat 3 bites and had to push it away. Which I am happy he did because later on he had the worst stomach ache until he finally went to bed! Was literally sick to his stomach. I ordered a relleno divorciados. I don't know what was under all those beans but to me it tasted like the bottom of a pan mix of burnt meat and burnt black beans. I had this taste left on my tongue that I needed to brush my teeth in order to get rid of. The saving grace was the street tacos they had on Tuesdays as a special. Those tasted amazing! However, the dessert sopapillas were like boards they were so hard and untasting instead of light and fluffy. I was so disappointed. It wasn't a cheap dinner and the fact that we ate only the street tacos and everything else went in the trash made me feel even worse than the food did . Literally threw 50 dollars away. Just thought I should warn others. read more

Service was horrible very poor communication would not recommend the cook the is manager is very rude

Yum. Your favorites from First Watch have expanded to a new space and an even larger menu. We loved the carne asada tacos and the house speciality lumpia. They were out of the adobada so that's up next. Watch out when they get the full liquor license, this place will be packed. There is a small parking lot just to the north of the building so get ready to turn after the dollar store. read more

this place is a hidden gem for sure! The food is unique and flavorful, and you'll get fantastic service from Andy! Definitely try the lumpa eggrolls! read more

I went in to treat myself for mother's day, looking forward to not cooking and longing for a traditional filipino meal. I was so disappointed that I wished O had stayed home and prepared these dishes myself. I realize I was hoping for a specific brand of soul food that cannot be achieved with what seemed to be no filipinos in the kitchen. The rice was undercooked. Epic fail, so sorry:( The adobo was neither tender nor dry, kinda so-so in texture, same as the flavor. If it had been marinated, I could not tell. The cocktail menu looked fantastic. But I'm not drinking alcohol at the moment, so I got the pink drink with guava and passionfruit. This would have been lovely, if only the mason jar it was served in wasn't packed to the max with ice cubes. I thought the atmosphere would be fun for an open mic or small performance. There is a pool table. I guess if I were drinking alcohol, I would check it out for that. Big disappointment:(!! read more

So glad I stopped in here! The margaritas are on-point and the potato taco is delicious. I can't wait to return for more

Decent... we went in at 7pm on a Saturday night and it was completely empty. So ambiance was not great. Good margs (made fresh with no mix), lots of meat on the tacos, but the veggie bowl had literally no veggies in it, maybe half a piece of kale. It was all rice. read more
