As a Puertorican born and raised n Puerto Rico, i am sad to say that Adobos although filled with nice people comes short when it comes to oveall experience as a.puertorican cafe.
My food experience was poor. The "carne frita" extremely hard and without enough seasonng.
Pork meat when fried must be tender. You dont get tender pork when over fried due to poor execution. This is a standard process when frying. you just dont fry, yo cook it and then fry to golden. The broth, unsavory, extremely weak.
Whats most concerning to me is that my puertorican brothers and sisters can find this cafe exceptional. We have either lost sense of what our cuisne is all about or we are living n lala land. The bathroom dirty, and a step latter in the hallway with a bra hanging.
Tables unnattended and then even if a cafe, food is tastier when at least served in dishes. This is a cafe not a bus or a hut in the beach. The mofongo was so dry it could choke you. The picadillo was cookex in marinara sauce. Grant it the beans were very good, but the rest was close to nothIng. It takes more than good intention and malta to nail puertorican cuisine. It is a shame no good restaurant or cafe gives the mark. El jibarito n Arlington is more targeted than Adobos. The creation of puertorican dishes have promise and the seasoning is quite ahead from Adobos. Their place is simple but very clean and they create puertorican antojos catering to our creativity and flavor. They have promise.
I wonder wit all due respect. Where Adobos left our core based spices and flavors that characterize us. I missed the taste of onions and garlic and culantro and oregano that pin points our flavors. A good marinade for meats. I guess that as long as my puertorican community keeps on rating places like Adobos as great puertorican food, we will keep having mediocre representation of our gastronomy here in the states.
I guess thats all there was t savor..just plain adobo cause there wasnt anythng else.
For 20.00 you go to most mexican restaurants and yo fnd fresh out of the stove food. Cant comoare wit soending 30.00 for mofongo and ork and picadillo dish with a soda.
Somethng has to be done for better food, better ambiance, quality, and fair pricing.

Primero, se espera mucho por la comida. El precio es mucho por la cantidad de comida que sirven. Es el problema que tienen los restaurantes puertoriqueños...cobran mucho por poca comida.
Tambien tienen que poner atencion a las ordenes:ultima vez pedi carne guisada con arroz con gandules y me dieron arroz blanco.
La carne guisada tiene poca carne y el precio es mucho.

Not very friendly service. We got the appetizer and the stuffed plantain dish and didn't notice until I got home that they didn't provide the rice and beans that came with it. Food was good but customer service was terrible. And the music was Cuban, not Puerto Rican, Celia Cruz? Azucar!

Love the food but do not care for the plastic ware and to go boxes if eating in; (

I've been to this eatery a few times while on layover in Dallas, mostly with local friends. You would think that being the only Puerto Rican restaurant currently in operation in the Metroplex, that the owners would take pride in their establishment, but that is not the case. I went there a few days ago and ordered steak with onions, rice and beans. It took them 45 minutes to get the food to the table. When I looked for the onions on the steak, there were only a few pieces and when asked what had happened to them, the waitress said that they had apparently broken up in the cooking process. The restaurant does not believe in washing dishes so they serve everything in styrofoam containers, even the beans ( not the best favored I may add here ),are served in foam 'dixie cups'. Another pet peave are the tables that wobble and are unstable, plus the plastic lawn chairs. Perhaps what I mind the most is the high price of the otherwise nothing to write home about food and presentation, and the 'take it or leave it' attitude of the people that work behind the counter. I did meet the owner and he is very nice and welcoming, but if he is to stay in business, he needs to improve things and FAST. Next time I am in Dallas, I will go to "Caribbean Cafe" which is Cuban, or, Casa Vieja, which is Colombian. There is also Inca's Cafe, a very elegant but affordable Peruvian restaurant, also within 30 minutes from the DFW Airport.
Puerto Rican food is great but it needs to be presented well and has to be consistently of good quality.
