Reviews
I got the pot roast. I was a bit nervous because it said it was made with ghost pepper on the menu it wasn’t very hot at all. You can TASTE the pepper but it’s more like a smokey flavor.
It was very good. Not the best pot roast I’ve ever had but better than most.
The service was fantastic and the atmosphere is unmatched. I sat inside because it was a bit cold but I can imagine sitting at the outside bar and listening to live music.
Bottom line, check this place out if you haven’t already. Definitely worth it!
I’ve heard a lot about the Adobe for awhile. When I was invited by some coworkers, I decided to give it a try. Apparently the menu changes depending on the season, which I think is a good thing. But it’s a fairly small menu.
After ordering the devil eggs, chips with chorizo and cheese sauce and jalapeño poppers (not pictured), we then also ordered our main meal (photos below). The service was decent, but the main dishes took a while. The appetizers came in the normal amount of time. I viscosity of the cheese and chorizo was very thin. It dripped a lot and there wasn’t a lot of flavor, however, for 10 dollars it wasn’t terrible.
It took a long time for us to get our main meal, that’s also the main reason for 4 stars. The staff didn’t acknowledge the wait.
I was very impressed by the size of each plate. Price ranges from $15-23. Presentation was decent. Below you can see: the country fried chicken, county fried chicken on a biscuit with honey, a steak, and a chicken dish that I can’t remember the name of. I had the country fried chicken on the garlic mashed potatoes. The gravy had no flavor, the corn was decent, the chicken was good, but the batter on the chicken didn’t have that much flavor either. Everyone seemed to enjoy their meal. I really want to try the biscuit with the chicken, so I might go back for that, but that’s because I love biscuits.
Adobe Rose had good reviews and pretty photos, so I figure, “Alright, I’ll give you one shot.”
The Setup
The place has a Mexican name, a Mexican feel, and a Mexican aesthetic — right down to the patio vibe — but here’s the twist: it’s not really a Mexican restaurant. The menu doesn’t even have enough Mexican dishes to pass the audition. And get this — fajitas? Only on Monday. What is that? It’s like a steakhouse that only serves steak once a week.
The menu’s small but quirky, like the chef got trapped in a pantry with Coca-Cola and Dr Pepper and decided to make it his muse. I skip the experimental stuff and go for the Monday fajitas, plus an El Jefe margarita. Wasn’t planning to drink, but hey — this was a scouting mission: New Mexico margarita vs. Texas margarita.
Appetizer – Trio Salsa
Spinach dip? Lights out — creamy, rich, seasoned perfectly. Queso? Same deal — thick, cheesy, and ready for a title fight with any Texas joint. The salsa? A confused mix of runny and chunky, but with a sneaky heat that wins you over. On its own, fine. With queso, dynamite.
Drinks – Sweet Tea & Margarita
Sweet tea was solid for being north of the sweet tea border, but my glass sat empty more than once while my server breezed past like I was in the Witness Protection Program. The margarita? Took forever ‘cause she forgot to put it in. By the time it showed up, the appetizer was long gone. Still — strong but smooth. If I were a drinker, I’d have gone for round two.
Main – Monday Fajitas
Presentation? Beautiful. Sliced beef, pink in the middle, tender. Flavor? Underwhelming. Like they seasoned it by reading the spice label out loud in the kitchen. Shrimp were great, though — plump, well-seasoned. Beans? Good but didn’t belong with fajitas, they were more like enchilada beans. Tortillas? Okay. They did their job, but they weren’t making memories.
The Bill
Then came the check — twenty-three bucks for fajitas. Portion size? Fine. But with that flavor? Should’ve been $16–$18, tops. You’re charging “brag about it later” prices for “well, at least it looked good” taste.
Verdict
Better than I expected walking in, but not enough to bring me back for the fajitas. Rating: 3.5 stars — mostly for the trio appetizer, the margarita, and the patio. Would I return? Yes… but for a drink and chips, not for pretending it’s a Mexican restaurant once a week.
This was our second time at Adobe Rose, and let me tell you — consistency is their love language. The first time we came in, the owners literally sat next to us like we were long‑lost cousins, and their son waited on us with the kind of service that makes you wonder if you should adopt him into the family.
We went back, fully prepared for the “maybe it won’t be as magical the second time” curse… but nope. Still fantastic. Still delicious. Still the kind of place that makes you plan your next visit before you’ve even finished eating.
We’re from California — and honestly the only thing we miss from back home is the food. But Adobe Rose? Adobe Rose is top‑tier. It’s the kind of spot that makes you say, “Okay, New Mexico, I see you!”
We’re proud to be here!”
And now for the important part:
Adobe Rose, please sell your house sangria by the bottle. It’s unreal. It’s unfair. It’s dangerously good. We would absolutely buy it by the case. Don’t make us beg… but we will.
