    If you’re looking for the absolute pinnacle of desert dining, Adobe Grill in La Quinta is not just a restaurant—it’s a fiesta wrapped in a sunset. This place isn’t good—it’s mariachi-in-your-mouth magical. From the moment you stroll through its vibrant hacienda-style entrance, you’re hit with the aroma of heaven in high-definition—smoky meats, sizzling fajitas, and tortillas so fresh you’d swear someone’s abuela was working overtime in the back. Let’s talk margaritas. No, let’s sing love songs to them. They’re not drinks—they’re handcrafted miracles served with a salted rim and a wink. Each one is like a vacation in a glass, minus the TSA. The tableside guacamole? Otherworldly. It’s a culinary tightrope walk between creamy, zesty, and perfectly spicy. Frankly, it deserves its own fan club. And don’t sleep on the enchiladas—they’re what happens when flavor wins the lottery. Service? Think Michelin-starred mind readers in festive shirts. You want something? It arrives. You need something? It’s already on the way. Bottom line: Adobe Grill isn’t just the best Mexican restaurant in La Quinta—it might be the best reason to visit the desert. Come for the food, stay for the vibe, and leave with a belly full of joy and a phone full of envy-inducing photos.

    Very disappointing. Will not return. It was the old joke about you place an order and the waiter gave you the meal from his coat! Everything must have been premade. Had to ask a server what the salsa was. Not returning!!! We ate inside and it was loud, but that could be because it was Mother’s Day. My bill for the horrendous meal with 1 margarita and tip was over $100 for 2 people and to add insult to injury valet parking, which was mandatory, was another $15. Never again!

    Decent food & service with high prices. The chicken fajitas and chicken quesadillas were tasty, as were the included chips & salsa. Wine selection is limited, but I was happy the bottle of white that I ordered was well chilled. Adobe Grill was an appropriate place to dine on Cinco de Mayo, but not memorable.

    We dined last night for Cinco de Mayo and have never felt more rushed dining than last night. Our drinks came and our appetizer came about 1 min after our drinks. We had taken only a few bites of our appetizer and then our entrees came. We didn’t want to send them back and then they get cold so we accepted the entrees. We were then just taking a small break from getting all our food at once they started clearing our plates while we were still eating. We mentioned we were still enjoying our meal. A few minutes later another gentleman came by to also clear our plates. We finally mentioned to our server we were feeling rushed and to let us be for a bit. You get the idea. Very frustrating experience… food was great though.
