All about Salsa, tortilla and quesadilla

Adobo Mexican Grill is a place where you come for good food and great feelings

If you are tired of choosing from the same cuisines every time you eat out, Adobo Mexican Grill may be the restaurant you want to hit up next. With Mexican food previously only served through food carts in Karachi, there is finally a casual dine-in restaurant you can now visit with your friends and family without having to break the bank.

Adobo Mexican Grill is located in Phase 6 of DHA, and sits right in the centre of a vast array of restaurants. The restaurant offers a decent variety of Mexican street-style food alongside a wide range of ingredients to customise your meals based on your taste preference. Their main menu includes items such as burritos, burrito bowls, tacos, salads, quesadillas, loaded nachos and fries. There are also a whole host of sides which you can order separately, such as extra tortilla chips, salsa, queso and guacamole.

Savour the flavour

The idea behind the restaurant is to have a more casual experience where you can see your food being prepared from the bar as the fresh ingredients are laid out behind a glass screen, as opposed to a finer dining experience. As soon as you enter the restaurant, you walk up to the cash register where you choose one of the options available on the menu and customise the serving size based on how hungry you feel. No matter what item you choose off of the menu, you may further customise according to your taste preferences. You can add or skip an assortment of ingredients, all commonly used and loved in Mexican cuisine, including red kidney beans, corn, cheese, sour cream and onions to name a few.

You also have the option to choose how spicy you would like your salsa as there are three different spice options depending on your heat tolerance. Apart from their main menu, you can also choose items off of their kids’ menu and a drinks menu that features a lime margarita and an iced tea, the former being the perfect “pick me up” in the current sweltering season. Even though most food items include a lot of the same toppings, they all have a unique twist that make them all popular amongst the hungry visitors.

Friendly ambiance

Besides offering some tantalising food, Adobo also aims at providing an ambiance that draws you in and encourages you to visit the eater again. With vibrant and colourful paintings covering every wall in the interior, neon signs that inspire you to “make your own magic”, and interactive installations in the form of a phone booth, both the food and aesthetics of the restaurant add to the experience. It provides the perfect atmosphere for you to walk down the buffet-style serving station and grab a seat. Visitors can also take advantage of the perfect bar style stools and tables by bringing along their laptops and working while being surrounded by the aromas that are unique to a Mexican eatery.

If you want to share its goodness with friends and family, Adobo also offers the option of having your events catered by them.

During Ramadan this year, the restaurant also released their limited edition Iftar platters, complete with 12 tacos, a quesadilla and tortilla chips, and a side of queso, sour cream and salsa to dip your triangles of perfection into.

Adobo Mexican Grill is a must try as it just not only offers good taste but a necessary break from routine food.
