Adobo Puerto Rican Cafe

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.

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

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

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!

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.

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!

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!!!

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.

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.

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.
