The employees do not smile I'm wondering why businesses these days do not teach employees to smile and be nice to the customer. If you go to Jersey Mike's, you'll see a good example of a company that has their employees be kind of the customer Another thing is they treat the rice and beans here like it's meat and they hardly give you any. I always have to ask for an extra scoop of rice and beans and it's so annoying having to ask every time. Have your employees be a little nicer and give a normal portion of rice and beans as a base and I would've gave you five stars read more

Healthy, fresh and fast menu. Service is friendly and helpful. Popular lunch spot during the week. Weekends very quiet, but consistent service. read more

Bro. Do yourself a favor and get in line immediately. I mean, there's no rush to get into line, but just do it because you're gonna want a burrito or burrito bowl ASAP. Place is delicious. Absolute delight to the taste buds. I love the service too. They're like a better mainstream burrito place. I don't want to name any competition but this is the mom and pop version that we all need. Plenty of drink options to in case your soft taste buds can't handle the heat of their delicious salsas and jalapeños. Get in there now. read more

Adobos Mexican Grill - Mexican Near Me - Dubuque, Iowa

I loved this little spot for Mexican food on cinco de Mayo. The counter service was great. Everything's right there on the chalk board, lots of options to add to your burritos or tacos (similar to chipotle or pancheros) The chips and queso were REALLY GOOD! (Yes, there is bad queso out there in the world) Tacos were really good-fresh tortilla, fresh ingredients, yum! Only thing to be aware of is it's juicy, so if you're not super hungry-I recommend saying you want them to go so they are nice and wrapped except one.... otherwise they can get soggy. My fiancé got the burrito-he also said it was amazing Plus two margs! Little sweeter side but better than expected! Friendly staff-can't wait to try again read more

Adobos Mexican Grill - mexican food and drinks - Mexican Near Me - Dubuque, Iowa

Great tacos! Clean environment. Nice staff. Prices are a bit high, but considering the area not a big deal

I had a chicken burrito and it was great! I highly recommend this place is way better than Pancheros or chipotle, I just wish they had more locations read more

The queso alone is worth the trip. Restaurant is conveniently located on Main St. and the menu is quite large. Shop local. Highly recommend. read more

Awesome burritos at a really great price. Have more meat choices than steak, pork and chicken. Would highly recommend for a quick meal

The BEST Mexican food I've ever had! Super fast, hot and fresh. The burritos are huge and Adobos has the best taco salad I've ever had. Try it, you won't be disappointed! 5 STARS!! read more

The steak lacked seasoning and flavor, which was especially disappointing because there was so little on my burrito in the first place. This meant that the fillings had to the heavy lifting, but they really weren't well prepared either. To be fair, my wife's burrito bowl with lime rice, black beans, and guacamole was better. But, all in all, the food was bland--not a term you should associate with Mexican cuisine. read more

Not warm enough steak little spice, queso watery continuously dripping, not enough salsa, left taste of onion in mouth like cheeseburger. Qdoba, Pancheros, and Chipotle all much better. I had to pay to park yet there was line of people out the door. If you enjoy rice and lettuce there is plenty. Had Mello Yello because bill over $10, although Jarritos beverages always great choice but I was very thirsty. Probably won't return but recommend spicier salsa with extra salsa. Could be worse! Way too many overcrowded and overpriced American cities. If you're proud to be obese and unhealthy then you can at least carry on that much. But if you're like me, being an American is disgusting to observe all the greediness and waste of education. read more

Best Mexican food in Dubuque. Great portions and decent prices. Diablo sauce is delicious and they have a wide variety of protein options. Try to catch their food truck at the Farmer's Market for amazing breakfast burritos or bowls! read more

This Mexican restaurant has the same set up as chipotle and the food tastes about the same. Had a burrito with chicken. It came with lime rice (in the burrito) and that rice was delicious. Ingredients were fresh and tasty. Nice lunch. read more

Similar to chipotle but made with some local ingredients. The El Diablo sauce was excellent! Just wish they had a larger side of chips and queso/salsa. read more

Ok well I just tried their nachos and they were just ok. For about the same price as Chipotle, next time I'll just go there. Only plus was the margarita, which was weak. They charge for the queso, on my nachos when their sign says it's free. Guacamole was extra and so was sour cream, so in essence 25$ for a watered down margarita and some 7/11 nachos with some meat......I'll definitely pass this place right by next time. read more

I have been here a few times now. The service is not good as the workers are sometimes rude and will just throw items on your burrito. It doesn't matter if you want it or not. Lucky for them their food is great so I keep coming back. read more

Lunch review: The Coke in bottles is enough for the four stars to this girl.... But we really enjoyed our lunch here. The decor leaves something to be desired. The urban sign / logo would lead you to believe the interior would be more "mod", for lack of a better word. The multiple salsas with multiple heat levels were divine. A nice change of pace for the other DBQ Mexican we've become accustomed to. I had three steak tacos ($1.75 / taco) and I enjoyed the simplicity of meat, cilantro, onions and lime wedges. TAaaasty spiced meat. Ordered a side of gauc and found it to be creamy deliciousness. A solid 4 stars. read more

If you're reading this then you care about what you eat. WHen you step to the counter you will be asked a lot of questions so be prepared. Hungry,? Pick the huge burrito. Not hungry, then the tacos. On a diet then the Salad. The roast beef is spicier then the pork or the chicken. All three are good. There's also an all vegetable as well. Next move on to one of the two rices. I like the cilantro rice. I also like the black beans. Over the other types of beans. Then I loaded up with all the other vegetables including the corn and so on. There's plenty of hot sauce. Enjoy. Cozy little place. Like a small little restaurant is. No surprises here. But it's great food. read more

I actually tried their food at the Dubuque County Fair and my husband and I did like the tacos. My husband is Mexican so that should count for something right? LOL. We had steak and al pastor tacos and both were pretty good. I look forward to trying the restaurant. read more

Great food, great location only blocks from the harbor area. Since I was here for only a day on the American Queen steamboat, I was looking for a yummy option within walking distance. Boy, did I score! read more

Is this Iowa?? This place is ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE! Best burritos, they are even bigger than my ginormous head. Market fresh and fast, check it out and thank me later amigos. read more

See all

Better than chipotle or pancheros. Support a local business and enjoy some quality Mexican food. Also, the serve killer breakfast burritos at the farmers market if you are around in the morning. read more

most Delicious burrito I have ever laid my fingers on! If you like Mexican food I totally recommend Adobos it is so good!

Food was cold and felt very rushed. There is a serious gnat problem at this place. Every time I go here I have noticed the bug issue. I could only imagine what other varmints are living there. read more

I had heard good things about their burritos so I decided to head over and try one. Words cannot describe my disappointment. I decided to get the "Burrito Deluxe" from the menu since it has sour cream and I love sour cream. It was listed on the outside menu at $4.50. I walked in and found it on the menu, and it was $4.75. No big deal I thought, it's still a good deal. I ordered and it was ready pretty quickly. I carried it out and returned to work. I opened it up and was instantly disappointed. There was a puddle of watery grease across the bottom of the carry out container, and the burrito was no bigger than a taco bell taco. It contained Chicken and re-fried beans on the inside. The chicken was pretty good, but the tortilla was soggy and the beans were very gritty and paste-like. There was a few shreds of lettuce around, and a teaspoon sized amount of sour cream on the top in the middle. This wasn't even a burrito. It was a taco with beans. There was also no cheese included at all either. This was just a soggy taco, and didn't fill me up at all. It came with chips that were very typical. Not good, not bad. Just dry tortilla chips with no seasoning or salt. The salsa was decent though. I included a picture of what you can expect if you order a "burrito": http://i.imgur.com/OGzOM8Q.jpg It was very sad looking and tasted like sadness. I was hugely disappointed, and I do not plan on returning here. The 20-minute round trip drive to Panchero's across town is more than worth it. read more

Friendly and curious staff. Order came out hot and fast. Menu is packed with many different options. Free chips and salsa! I had the 3-cheese steak burrito with beans and rice. Would definitely dine in again! read more

I used to come here once a week when I was pregnant. It was amazing then and still is. Adobo's ingredients taste much fresher than Los Azteca's and I think their flavors are bolder also, which I love. Their remodel has made it very beautiful inside also! read more

Amazing 1st time! Loved it! Great flavor and portions. Parking meters suck and meter maid is on the prowl!

Delicious burrito bar. They were very helpful in choosing what to put in my custom made burrito. It was huge a delicious. The burrito bar comes with a small bag of chips so don't make the mistake I did and order chips and guacamole. You can order the guacamole by itself. Definitely a place I'll try again when I'm down by the clock tower. read more

Easiest way to describe Adobo's is by comparing it to a Chipotle or Pancheros. This is a locally owned burrito bar, with a much larger variety of ingredients than the other chains. The food is fresh and delicious. The staff and owner (also the chef) are very friendly. They also offer sit-down service for dinner, which is also very good. I recommend trying the queso dip or Fajitas. read more

Best burrito in town. Convenience of Pancheros or Chipotle with infinitely better taste, everything is so fresh and authentic. Friendly staff and owner. Cannot say enough good things about this local restaurant. read more

My go to Burrito place in town. One of the most consistent restaurants in the area too! I'm a big fan

These four stars are in comparison with the other Mexican restaurants in town. (For a point of reference, the waiter had to ask again when my husband ordered "Enchiladas Tejas" because he wasn't used to people pronouncing it correctly.) This one has the best Mexican food in town. The refried beans were the only thing that was disappointing. We left filled and satisfied. read more

Good local Mexican place. Good amount of food for a cheap price. Fast and friendly service, but the food was nothing out of this world.

Very good food affordable, higher end quick food. Friendly usually busy so be ready to stand in line. Order food pick toppings collect and sit kind of place. They have beer also that's nice. Clean good place for a meal. Not for a date if you're over 25 though read more

Stopped by Adobos for dinner with my wife. One burrito was enough for both of us and it tasted great. Sort of like Chipotle, but I like adobos burritos better. They also have $5 large margaritas and they are great. I highly recommend adobos. read more

We ate here for lunch. I had Tacos. They had this picture of tacos with lime and queso fresco, so I was all excited that we were eating at a pretty authentic restaurant, but what I received instead was the Americanized version of Mexican food. The carnita tacos were greasy and fatty and did not sit well with me the rest of the day. read more

Love me some Adobos! Great real Mexican food!!!! All his stuff is very fresh and the queso...OMG YUM!!
