adobo puerto rican cafe

great food great atmosphere. para la gente simple, asi que si tu le la das de millonario sigue caminando. if you come here expecting 5 star service and pampering go somewhere else. this isn't a bad thing but some people expect every place they eat to be that and then come on here and give businesses bad reviews when the business isn't that. reviewed within its category this is a great place with slight room for improvement, give them a chance and they'll continue to learn and get better.
this is all about the food and the food is good and priced reasonably. some people don't understand how a latin restaurant works. let me explain something to you, not all the food is ready at the same time and some things have to be made on the spot. i've had rice and beans made by many different places and no 2 are exactly the same but they have all been good to me, i appreciate the slight differences in how caribbean people cook the same thing. i don't care that about the chairs, or the plates...i care about what i am putting into my mouth...la camida y nada mas. asi que dejen tanta quejaderas y coman que ustedes saben que eso esta bueno. the complaints about this place posted here is like if i went to a food truck after the club and bitched about not having a waiter...pendejadas like that.

terrible service!. my husband and i went there today based on the good reviews, and it turned out to be the most disappointing dining experience ever! we ordered two entrees and even though people who arrived after us were served, we waited. finally we received one entree with the assurance the other was not far behind. fortunately, my husband shared his entree; in the meantime, other people arrived, ordered and received their meals. fifteen minutes after the first entree was received, the second was delivered. we brought it home. we'll never go there again and will not recommend it to anyone.

not worth it...sorry!!. my wife and i went there last saturday with big hopes,my god we walk out so disappointed. let's see where to begin, no greeters, no menus, no attendants, no waitress, plastic cutlery, food c- quality, ambiance c-,decorations c+, mobiliary ( plastic ) d- overall experience from 10 to 1, i0 being the highest we score them #.3.sorry ,this people does not represent the quality and carisma of our natives restaurants.they have a lot to learn from the ground up.

incredible food! nice atmosphere. friendly staff. i would absolutely recommend trying this place every time you’re in irving! you will not be disappointed.

this is the only puerto rican spot i know of in dfw. i could be wrong but i can say it's definitely my favorite. they are abundant in their portions and it feels like a family atmosphere when you walk in the door. the stew chicken with yellow rice is a must. it's a typical pr dish and they do it justice!

surprisingly good food. i try to stay away from chains and eat at holes-in-the-wall. never had puerto rican food and was pleasantly surprised. the service was great and the food even better. the house-made mango juice was awesome. overall the experience was awesome.

great food. the closest i've been to mom's original pr cooking. i can wing making rice & beans pr-style, but these are the best ever. i think even better than mom's (sorry mom)! so the place can use a little decorative improvement...this "cafe" is all about the good food. been here twice with a few non-pr friends that never knew what pr food was about & they loved it!

good. it is a cafe, you dumb jibaros, how many cafes in pr do you saw with servers and real plates and silverware??

so so. food tasted ok service was terrible!

love your food. best puerto rican food i have found in tx. just like my mother's food. best pasteles y alcapurrias. i feel at home there.

last time i was here was 8 months ago, it's about time to renew and refresh the ambience of this place, now they even charge for the ice... plastic chair and disposable container doesn't make it very appealing , staff would need to look more professional, since this is the only place to find this food, make the drive worth it. food is tasty tho.

delicious food. very affordable, fresh made daily. my fav carne guisada (beef stew) with white rice and red beans puerto rican style. it is a cafeteria with plastic chairs, food served on disposable plates i guess that makes it inexpensive. i would recommend it.

right. food tastes good but no customer service, no glamour at all. togo boxes instead of real plates that was the worst thing ever, so uncomfortable.

a little bit of pr in dfw. my wife and i ate here today.it was like having lunch in puerto rico!we have visited pr before and it reminded us of the cafes there.good,authentic prfood,reasonable prices,family atmosphere.bravo adobo!

comida. my brother took me there and the food was mucho plenty good!!

loved this place. loved the family atmosphere and helped to fill the void of missing my abuelitas cooking...really great place!! my family loved it...we look forward to going back!!!

the only puerto rican restaurant in the dfw area.. adobo is good, i like it but we don't have any other puerto rican restaurant in the dfw metroplex. the mofongo is ok at best, their pernil is very, very, very good, the alcapurias are very good and so are the tostones. arroz con gandules is very good. you will have to try their dishes to see which ones you like. the best thing about adobo is that they have pan sobao which is awesome, prior to adobo i would have to go back home to get pan soabo. it is a little pricey but the fact that i can have the pan is well worth the price.
