    We were given a spacious booth and received service quickly. We started with the margarita sampler, which seemed like three margaritas for the price of two, and they were delicious and strong. For food, we had the queso fundido with chorizo and the papas bravas and both were very good. The queso came with two small tortillas, so we asked for chips. The potatoes were well seasoned, but we asked for salsa and that made them better. We also shared the campechano tacos and they were delicious. Great service too.

    This is consistently a wonderful experience. I have come to Adobe Grill when visiting La Quinta/Indio for several years and have always had great meals, drinks, and most of all service. This time was just as good as always.

    Nice little spot with good menu selections. The chips and guacamole are first rate and a favorite. Meal sizes are smaller but that is AOK. Service was prompt, professional and exceptionally nice and friendly from the hostess, to the bus boy to the server. The interior is lovely with great beaded chandeliers, a handsome bar and comfortable seating. We will be coming back.
