Mediocre would be an improvement. First they asked if I wanted to sit inside or out. When I answered "inside" the immediate response was "we are full inside you will have to sit outside"....why even ask? A young lady promptly came and took my drink order and never returned. About five minutes later a guy asked if Id been helped and I responded that, yes, a young lady had taken my drink order. About five minutes later another guy asked me the same thing. I told him that my order had been taken but never delivered. He took my drink order. The young lady then returned and said that she had a lot of people sitting at the bar and that she was passing me on to the other server. (I guess people who dine alone and arent getting hammered arent worth the effort). The guy promptly returned with my iced tea and some more chip and he took my order. The visit was starting to look up. He returned again a few minutes later and set more chips on the table without saying a word, even though I hadnt eaten half of the last basket he brought me. At this point my tea was gone but I never got a chance to tell him. I waited a while longer and a fourth person delivered my food, which was already cold. Still sitting in front of an empty glass. Finally I got up and went inside and asked for a refill. I then sat down to enjoy a bowl of cold very bland tortilla soup and two of the house tacos which had some horrid black sauce on them. Once this atrocity was scraped off they were about as good as you would expect from taco cabana. Definitely not a dining experience worth going out of your way for.

I took my brother and son to Adobe Verde for Lunch on 12/2/12. The waitress brought chips and salsa. The chips were a basket of crumbs. We asked for whole chips. She brought another basket that had whole chips on top and the rest were crumbs. I suspect they dump the uneaten chips back into the chip bin - gross. We order our food and my sons plate had a black hair in the queso on the chip they but in the beans. She offered to replace the chip - nice. I asked to see that manager who never came to the table. I returned my lunch because it was unapppetizing. The waitress never offered to take my sons meal off the ticket. I paid the bill the went to the bar and asked to see the manager who was on the phone and could not come out. The bar tender said he was the assistant manager. I asked what their policy was when a hair was found in the food. He said they would make a new plate and not charge for the meal. I expalined that did not happen and that I asked to see the manager at our table who never came over. I gave the assistant manager my business card and explained that I am a local not a tourist and that I have been coming to Adobe Verde for years with friends and family. That last several visits have been a bad experience in food quality and service. I ask that the manager call me when she had a chance. 5 days later, no call. I will never eat there again or recommend Adobe Verde to anyone. I wish Paul had not sold AV. He had pride in putting out a good product.

So, I must make it clear…Mexican food is not synonymous with Tex-Mex. AV doesnt have Mexican food, but has decent TexMex. Wait time: Minimal. We were seated as soon as we arrived. Food arrived within 10 minutes of ordering. Wait staff: There were so many people on staff! I dont think Ive ever been to a restaurant with so many hosts, servers, and bartenders. Ambiance: Was great! Love the small town Texas decor. Love the live music. What didnt I like? Like any normal Mexican restaurant, they brought us a basket of chips and bowl of salsa while we waited. Pretty normal, right? Well, about 1/2 way through the basket of chips, our server came by, removed the basket of chips, threw the remaining chips in the trash (we were sitting by the kitchen area, trash can in line of vision) and brought us a new basket of chips. Good and attentive service? Yes. Wasting food? YES! AHHHH. It drove me crazy - couldnt get over it! Why would you throw away 1/2 a basket of chips? This perhaps might seem like not a big deal to some, but I just hate hate hate hate hate wasting perfectly good food. ): Anyway… Food: It was good. We got a burrito to share and it was more than enough for the two of us. Delicious but if you are sensitive to spicy, beware! Theres something in there with a kick! If you like spicy…well…order this burrito. (: This is small, but they put a slice of lime in the waters - I like this small touch. (:

We dropped in before going over to Gruene Hall for a show on a Saturday evening. We picked a) a combo plate with chicken enchilada, chili con queso, and chalupa; and b.) chicken diablo. I love chalupas and this was right on! The food was fresh, a good amount, but not an overage. The service was very good. The atmosphere and arrangement (band, inside/outside seating) was just great. ** Now for a few suggestions. They had some arrangement where one girl seated people, a second took drink and food orders, and brought back drinks. But then a third person brought the food, but at the time, were ALWAYS confused as to which table ordered the food that they brought out. Surely there is some system they could use, but the looks like bad management. The other problem was that they charge a dollar for another bowl of salsa, after you have finished the small bowl they bring you for free. This doesnt make sense. We bought an 18 dollar pitcher of margaritas, plus two meals, and they want to charge us for more salsa? Ridiculous.

We visit Gruene regularly and typically enjoy the Grist mill. Today we decided to try Adobe Verde and were highly disappointed with our choice. From the hostess who was extremely rude to our waiter the service was horrible! We first asked for a table outside which we were told there were none then they sat people that came in after us at the empty table that we had pointed out Our waiter usedbmany curse words during our visit. I have three young children so that was not appropriate or professional. The food took forever and was very subpar. The check was messed up when we finally received it. The waiter had combined our ticket with another table! When we asked to speak to a manager ...of course there was not one there. We will not be visiting this restaurant ever again. Highly disappointed!

Horribly run and managed. We were told the wait was 20 min. We waited 20 min alright, then another hour and a half. The high schoolers at the host desk didnt seem to care. When we went in, there were about 5 bussed and open tables. We wanted to sit inside because of the heat, it was just as hot, if not hotter inside because of the stagnant air. The seats where we sat were full of food and paper and sticky. Chips were almost stale. Food was very mediocre. If it wasnt for the cheese and salt that they slather every dish in, all of it would be plain. Good luck if your lactose intolerant. Tldr: if you like bad host staff, waiting a long time for salt and cheese dishes in miserable 84 degree inside stagnant air, go here.
