Adobes Grill & Cantina

Finally tried this restaurant after seeing it several times while shopping at Roanoke’s Historic City Market. Sadly, it was a disappointment! The service was good which is their only saving grace. We were seated at a bar top table that was so tall I literally had to step up on the wrung of the stool as if it were a step ladder just to have a seat! The salsa bar was in the back of the small dining area and looked like a random piece of restaurant equipment. It was unlit and the salsas were not labelled or cold.
The food left much to be desired. My chicken nachos were horribly dry and lacked flavor. My husband’s tacos had about a teaspoon of meat on each tortilla! Their margaritas are served without a salted rim, with house tequila (no option to upgrade) a wedge of lime on the rim and a wedge of orange inside. The drink is served with two small thin bar straws which are pointless in a frozen drink.
I usually give a restaurant two tries before forming an opinion but this one was so disappointing, there’s no going back!

Friendly staff. Good food. Good value! Self serve salsa bar. Awesome Margarita sampler!
