East coast raised moved to Texas. Looking forward to Puerto Rican place. Atmosphere was great. Loved the cute decor. The woman who took order was very kind. I explained just moved from New Jersey. Me being Puerto Rican looked forward to trying to the food. Most of the menu was not available. I had beef stew with white rice. Bacalito! Flavorless. I order myself two soda had to keep asking for my second soda by the time I recieved it I was ready to leave. Spent a total of 60$ for myself and my mom very disappointed. I was so excited to make this my new go to and no flavor to me expecting highly very disappointed.
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.
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.
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!
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!
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.
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.
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.

My favorite spot !!!! Order from here all the time ! Reminds me of abuela's cooking. Gonna miss it when I move read more
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

I ate here with my partner a couple of days ago and it was amazing. The lady I spoke to (I forgot her name) was very sweet and explained how the rice tasted and explained that it wasn't green peas that were in the rice lol. I had beef pastelillos and they tasted AMAZING. I could tell from the atmosphere that the workers and the owners prepare everything fresh and make customers feel at home. I will be coming back. read more

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

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

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

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
