The last few times I have been to Cafe Adobe, I have been sorely disappointed with the food. The last time I visited, my wallet was stolen. The best Mexican food in Houston is still at Otillia's on Longpoint.

Best food and margarita's around. The only drawback is the wait for a table during busy times. The greeters desk, numbering cards and location of number displays were very poor.

The wait is deplorable. The food is consistently good, the service is not. The drinks are always great. The patio is the place to be. The best reason to go to this classic is to peoplewatch.
