Accidentally gave my aunt a pork chop they thought was skinny, and they gave us another one to make up for it because "that's not what they do" Amazing service, amazing people, they'll take good care of you. Been here multiple times and will continue to come and bring more people read more

Adobo Puerto Rican Cafe - Pernil - Puerto Rican Near Me - Irving, Texas

BFF is Puerto Rican and anytime visiting a new state we always seek out his native cuisine. This place is tucked away in a strip mall so if you blink an eye you'll miss it. Essentially a hole in the wall, you order at the counter as there are no servers in the dining room. Dining area is a good size with most tables seating four. I wanted to order the mofongo de bistec; however, they were out so I settled for the mofongo de carne Molino. BFF ordered the carne guisada con arroz y habichuelas. My entree was delicious but the mofongo didn't appear to be made the way I've had it in the past but it was still very tasty and delicious. I tasted the carne guisada and it was a little dry but still flavorful. If you're in a hurry, order ahead of time as this isn't fast food and you will be waiting a while. No paper menus nor QR code menus are available, so either look online or you have to order from their digital menu upon ordering. Overall, this place is worth coming to with just a few shortcomings but I'd eat here often if I lived in the area. read more

Portions are very good size. The food is tasty very friendly staff. I like the bread when they have it and they Mallorca.

I've yet to not like a dish at Adobo. Any time I crave them or happen to be in Irving (which is on a Monday or Tuesday) they're closed, but luckily I had to drop my fiancé off at the DFW airport Friday night & they were open so I stopped by. Their chuleta frita is well seasoned, as are their beans (habichuelas). I really wanted to ask for a double serving of their beans but I didn't want to be greedy lol. My only complaint is the pork chop was small. There's the option to order their chuleta can-can but based on the picture that one looked like too much meat lol so a middle ground if possible w/the regular chop option would be nice. If you're looking for non-pork recommendations their churrasco is really good (& has quite a bit of meat portion wise). I also love their carne guisada, very filling and flavorful. The desserts are also nice. I came a few months back and tried their guava and cheese pastry, but it wasn't my cup of tea. I didn't grow up eating or drinking anything with guava so I think it's more so an acquired taste. This trip I chose to try their quesito & that one was a 10/10, not too sweet with the perfect filling to dough ratio. I never dine in, but if you do you'll be surrounded by pictures of other well known faces that have visited & a vibrant, upbeat selection of music. read more

Visiting from Chicago and although I've have not had an alcapurria in this formation since being in Puerto Rico...it was delicious. Tostones were delicious. Steak churrasco con white rice and beans! Good serving amount as well. I will have some leftovers for dinner. Gracias! Buen Provecho a todos! Service was good. read more

The food is made fresh to order! Piping hot and real casera food . Absolutely everything on the menu is good and authentic.

The food was very good. Alcapurrias mofongo carne frita. All good and Thanks for the service

I'd describe this place as simple but delicious. Really a solid 3.5 stars if I could choose that. The place is very homey and the portions are fairly large. My plate had beef, plantain, rice and it was good though I felt like it missed a wow factor for the flavor but it was still hearty and good. The plantain is certainly interesting to have in the meal. I will say that I think I missed out by not getting the mofongo dish which is more of a specialty Puerto Rican dish. I enjoyed the food enough that I will come back and try it out. This place is economical for anyone so a good option for going to lunch. One odd thing was that our fine in dishes came in to go boxes. It was fine though because we ended up having enough left over to go. The staff was friendly and the place was very chill. Their guava pastries were super delicious so if you have a sweet tooth, try them out! read more

Adobo Puerto Rican Cafe - Menu - Puerto Rican Near Me - Irving, Texas

Atmosphere is nice and homey. Service was ok, took a couple minutes for someone to take our order and then another 30 minutes to get our food. Chicharrón de pollo was amazing and the beans & rice was even better. The carne pastelillo was good but the queso one not so much. For the same price the amount of filling in each was not equal. Not the cleanest or most updated interior for dining, but the food was excellent - my husband is Puerto Rican and from New York, and he said this reminded him of being in Puerto Rico. We loved all the decor inside, and the music playing on tv. Definitely worth your time and business! read more

Great service and delicious food. The place is really nice and calm. The food was great and the pastries as well

Edwin did a phenomenal job for us recently. We needed an event catered and he delivered a delicious Porto Rican meal for us to enjoy. The Pernil was season much the same way my mother used to make it and the Arroz con Pollo was wonderful. I have eaten in the restaurant as well and had the Arroz con Guisado. He does a marvelous job in preparing and cooking very authentic Food. read more

Went here on a recommendation from my boricua brother. It's a very small establishment that has quite a few menu options. Once You place your order at the counter and despite it being cooked fresh food came pretty quickly, 5-10 minutes. They also have different types of pan. Reason for the 3 stars is due to the place not being the cleanest as well as having a floor fan hanging from the ceiling. I would go back for the food though. read more

I've been searching high and low for some Chuleta Kan Kan since I had it for the first time several years ago. Finally I found a place that had it, but they ran out when I called to check. That's when Adoboe came to the rescue! I almost dismissed this little hole in the wall restaurant because of the reviews, but luckily I was desperate for some Chuleta and took the risk. The pork was incredible. So crispy and flavorful. The rice was perfect and the beans were amazing. Only thing that I wasn't thrilled with was their side salad but I'll let it slide. Definitely recommend this place for a no frills delicious meal. read more

Adobo Puerto Rican Cafe - Chuleta Kan Kan. Delicious. - Puerto Rican Near Me - Irving, Texas

I had ordered food for delivery from Grubhub, and Grubhub dropped the ball. So, I got in an Uber and head on over. It is a small car style restaurant, but the smells emanating from the kitchen told me I was in for a treat. I ordered the fried pork chop with white rice and creole stewed kidney beans, plantains and amarillos, (ripened bananas that are pan fried). I received that order in ten minutes... I devoured that meal like I was eating my grandma's cooking... DAMMIT I just couldn't stop thinking how absolutely, mouthwateringly, delicious every single bite was. I will definitely be back!!! read more

A true mom and pop place. If you come here, you're coming for the food. I was traveling thru Dallas on a work trip. Found this place via "Yelp". I ordered from here 4x. Twice I ordered the Chuleta Can Can with rice and beans. First let me tell you that just the simple fact that they even had Chuleta Can Can was a HUGE plus!! Especially in Dallas!! Food was extremely good. Well cooked, lots of flavor and not dry Ordered a pepper steak with rice and beans as well along with some amarillos, Food was delicious but a little in the peppery side. Might just be my taste buds. End of the day, it IS pepper steak lol. Lastly I ordered some Churrasco with...guess what...rice and beans but this time with tostones. 5 stars! Plates normally come with a salad but I was on a diet and decided to swap the salad for tostones and/or amarillos for no extra cost. If you like beans with rice, as opposed to rice and beans, might wanna ask for extra beans. They give you enough but if you like your rice drenched in beans, extra would suit you fine. Considering the location and the variety of the menu, priced in my opinion was on point. Not too cheap but not to expensive. I had no issues with the price especially for the quality of the food and more importantly, supporting Nuestro Gente! Staff speaks both English and Spanish and are Puerto Rican. Can't tell you how many places I've been where it's a "Puerto Rican" restaurant but no one speaks Spanish in the front and it's some random person cooking the food. Think Mexican food and Taco Bell for an analogy. read more

Absolutely amazing mofongo! The beef steak was good too! We will definitely be back!!

Ordered catering for 30 people. Their pork was very good and tasty, their arroz with gandules was good, yuca al mojo was good, guineos en escabeche not so good (too much vinegar.) The food was ready at the time promised. I would order from them again. read more

The restaurant has good food but is usually a hit or miss with making sure they pack all the food in the bag. There has been several times where we've ordered and gotten home and sides were missing from the orders. Overall, pretty good food, would recommend ensuring everything is inside before leaving. read more

The inside is currently closed and they modified their door as a service window. You walk up, open the door, and pick up or place your order. I recommend calling in and placing your order. I placed my order at the window and it took about 15 minutes to get it as the food was made fresh and there were plenty of other orders ahead of me. I had the Mofongo Amarillo, the Mofongo made with sweet plantain and ground beef. It took me right back to my visit to Puerto Rico! It was delicious and I can't wait to go back and try the other dishes. read more

Being Cuban and from Miami, the move to Texas has left me missing flavors to remind me of home. I read the reviews prior to going so I knew the food would take some time and I didn't mind. My son and I ordered a kids churrasco (sides: white rice and beans), pernil (side: arroz con gandules), Tostones, Amarillos. We could not have been more satisfied with the flavors of home! It was DELICIOUS! I STRONGLY recommend this spot to anyone and everyone. My son and I plan on becoming regulars lol. All in all, expect a wait and it is definitely worth it. Pork was juicy, tostones were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, beans were amazing, amarillos were perfect. I can't say enough about this food. Try it! read more

Food was great, flavors reminded me of home. I would recommend to ppl in the DFW area.

I am probably being biased because I love Puerto Rican food so much, but I thought they were pretty good. Btw, I can't believe it is so hard to find Latin Caribbean food in Dallas. I ordered the pork chops, and rice and beans. The pork chops were great - very well seasoned. The beans were a little watery, but still flavorful. Service was incredibly friendly, but slow. Prepare to wait for a while. Overall, 3.5 rounded up to 4 stars. read more

Definitely made to order. Meaning, you are going to be waiting for your food. However, when you do get your food, you will be blown away. Took two of my Puerto Rican friends here as they were craving grandmas cooking and they said it hit the spot for sure. We had so many dishes and I can't complain about any of it. I had the Carne Fritas with red beans and rice which was fried pork pieces, very well seasoned. Tried papa rellenas for the first time and they were so good. Mashed potato around seasoned ground beef. Very good bang for your buck as well. read more

I never leave reviews but it was so good, took me right back to my family. Perfectly seasoned. Will be ordering again. Thank you!

Great tasty food and service. Love it. Will be coming every time I'm in Arecibo visiting my family. read more

Really wanted to like this cafe, gave it two stars just for the pastalillo that was 5 star. Had alcapurias, mine was a little undercooked but had good flavor. Pastalillo was good and the Papas rellena had good flavor but it was t breaded just flour and fried. Now the Mofongo Can-can really not good over fried no seasoning. And the mofongo was dry and tasteless. And I won't get into the lack of anything coming close to service. read more

The BEST Puertorican food I've had in a while. I can cook this at home but it doesn't compare nearly as good. My go to spot from now on‍

Being the Holiday Season, I found myself yearning for traditional Puerto Rican Christmas food. I ordered Pernil, Arroz con Gandules, Amarillos, and Tostones. While I was disappointed that they didn't have Pasteles. I was told during the holidays they have to be ordered in advance, and knowing the same is true for tamales this time of year in Texas. I easily understood. My dinner was exactly as I hoped. The Pernil was flavorful and succulent. The Arroz con Gandules were perfect as were the Amarillo's and Tostones. Each serving was plentiful. So much so that I brought 2/3rds of what I was served home with me to enjoy later. Adobo Puerto Rican Cafe is a modest restaurant with delicious Puerto Rican food. The atmosphere is very casual. Puerto Rican salsa was playing. The decorations consist mainly of Puerto Rican flags and photographs. When I was there there were six other tables dining with a steady stream of customers coming in for take-out orders. The staff was very friendly and I did not have to wait too long for my food. I am not Puerto Rican but I enjoyed my meal very much and felt right at home. While I was there for Christmas food, the rest of the menu looked delicious. I am sure I will return. read more

This little slice of heaven was amazing. We had debated on where to eat, never having been to this restaurant before but I'm sure glad we went. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful. Hubby and I grew up in Chicago, and he is Puerto Rican so this was a blast from the past. We had pernil with rice, which comes with a small salad. We also had tostones and carne guisada. The portions are huge. Would absolutely recommend this place. We live pretty far away but the next time we're in that area, I wouldn't hesitate to eat there. read more
