"A restaurant town in the truest sense of the term, Chicago extends far beyond Polish sausage, deep-dish pizza, and world-class steaks. Thanks to corner vendors and legends like the original Pizzeria Uno, Gino's East, Gene and Georgetti, and Morton’s, thos..."

"Think outside the box you've neatly pinned your idea of Mexican cuisine in, because Adobo Grill's authentic Mexican fare goes well beyond the taco (in fact, there is nary a taco in sight at this restaurant). With entrees like pan-seared tilapia marinated..."

"If dunking a tortilla chip into the frighteningly fresh dip doesn't entice you, perhaps remaining menu choices will (and there certainly are a lot). Adding modern flair to Mexican classics, you'll find earthenware cazuelas of homemade chorizo, adasero che..."

"The second location of the Adobo Grill is all dark reds, Mexican folk art, and paintings of loteria cards, but the night I was there a steady backbeat of cell-phone conversations threatened to kill the ambience. The justifiably famous guacamole was chunky..."

"Adobo Grill is trendy and well-appointed, with a mind-numbing array of high-end tequilas, some available on "boards" of ten chilled shots, as well as in smaller flights. Margaritas may be a sign of inauthenticity, but as we kick off the fiesta I quickly l..."

"Adobo Grill's claim to fame is the fresh guacamole prepared tableside (you choose the spice level, but be warned that even the "medium" will give your tongue quite a jolt). Less spicy starters include a refreshing jicama-and-mango salad or grilled baby oc..."
