There are so many better restaurants in Chicago. First, call me old fashioned but when I eat at a Mexican restaurant, I expect chips and salsa to be complimentary.

I was in Chicago the first weekend of November as a guest of my Aunt and Uncle who were traveling from Hawaii. I had been to Adobo twice before. I loved it and I raved about it to everyone. We even saw it advertised in a "Taste of Chicago" walking tour. It was not hard to convince them to go... more
