“We were in the area vacationing from Washington state and wanted mexican food. We saw the great reviews so thought we'd try. Our server Tikio was so kind and genuinely joyfull. He recommend the " Tres Amigos". O.M.G!!! I'm not exaggerating. Hands down the best mexican dish we've ever had . The chili Relano and enchilada just melt in your mouth. Can't wait till we come back down so we can come back. Thank you Tikio and all the other El Zarandeado staff that made us feel so welcome“

“El Adobe exceeded our expectations for our wedding day! Sianna and Danny were invaluable in planning our perfect celebration, expertly managing everything from venue layout to guest dietary needs. They took care of us from day one: we had a delicious food tasting session, a his & her special cocktail selection session, and table/venue layout session. The bar and catering staff were exceptional, and our guests couldn't stop raving about the delicious food. We loved using the charming Casita for preparations, which also provided a stunning backdrop for photos. El Adobe offers an unbeatable combination of quality, affordability, and attention to detail. If you're looking for a wedding venue that will make your special day truly unforgettable, look no further than El Adobe!“

“Definitely authentic food. Service was fantastic. Friendly staff. Only disappointment are refills on soda are charged at a dollar each. When it costs less than 2 cents to fill up a soda and I spend almost $45 for my family's food, I think one refill should be free.“

“What a nice and quaint little gem for quick Mexican food. The interior is clean with a cute layout. The food was prepared in the open kitchen, which you can see over the cashier shoulder. The food was not bad at all, the rice could use a little more seasoning/salt, but over all not bad. Definitely give this place a try, and be turned off by unkempt strip mall.“

“We had a stellar experience at Don Juan Mexican Kitchen! The service was perfect; very friendly and accommodating without being intrusive, and food and drinks were served in a very timely manner. The food was absolutely delicious. Our party of four started with the crispy pork belly bites, which I think were the best I've ever had. Our daughter had the Ensenada salad with shrimp. It looked very fresh and beautiful, with the largest shrimp I have seen in a long time. She really enjoyed it. The rest of us had a variety of tacos, and they were all exceptionally good. The drinks were expertly made with very fresh ingredients and were beautifully presented. We were celebrating my husband's birthday, and they brought out a dish of ice cream with the best fresh-made and hot churros that I've had. All in all, I would give them a 10 out of 10 and look forward to returning.“

From the outside it looked like a normal pub, but once inside we found ourselves immersed in a sea of ​​memorabilia. Having been there in the afternoon, we only drank, but there is also live music and dancing. If you pass by, also stop for a drink because it's worth it. Friendly staff.“
