    Great dinner this last weekend! Was easy to get in the restaurant with the reservations. It is a beautiful restaurant if you've never been there you'd definitely have to put it on your list. Old style, Spanish ambience. Charming and quaint. The food is outstanding. The salsa hit perfectly. I ordered the prime rib burrito, which absolutely I would recommend. I saw a few other people at the table, get the Carne Asada, and some of the combination plates. Honestly, everything looked really good. We had the table guacamole, which my only knock is that it was a slightly bland, but added a little salt and no worries. Great authentic Mexican food here in south OC, some of the best you can get.

    This past Saturday my wife, and our family met to celebrate our anniversary at El Adobe. We chose to celebrate here, as this is where our wedding took place, and one of our daughters had her wedding here as well. We have always been treated very professional here by the staff. The food is always on point, and excellent service. The event planner Sianna is nothing less than Awesome! She went out of her way not only to make our wedding special, but also our anniversary on Saturday! Thank you! The event area is very nice, and best of all if you're planning a wedding, or other event but maybe not want their outstanding Mexican food, they also have amazing prime rib too! (On Fridays and Saturdays) Also the prices are very reasonable. Thank you again Sianna and staff for making our special events, very special!

    Took my girlfriend and her parents here and loved everything about it. We ordered a variety of items from the menu and each dish was perfect. Make sure to order the churro dessert. It was by far the best churro I've ever had! Also, Miguel was the BEST waiter. Super funny, attentive and super accommodating. If you dine here, definitely ask for Miguel!

    Came here for a work event in the back venue and it was very well executed. Super cute spot with string lights everywhere. Mexican food was tasty - it was sooo much better than other catering/venue food I've had in the past at other places! I would recommend hosting a private event here.
