Citysearch says: The Scene - Adobo's ambience is warm; the crowd is loud, young and professional. The exposed-brick walls are accented by sun-drenched Southwestern colors, bright artwork and two beautiful vintage bars.
Conveniently located adjacent to Piper's Alley, Adobo is ideal for dining before heading to Second City or an art flick. The food hits on the regional Mexican menu include succulent and fiery grilled baby octopus, and delicate trout steamed in a corn husk. Moist chicken breast holds its own in a dense, Oaxacan black mole with epazote-infused black beans. Fresh guacamole is prepared tableside (with customized spice level), a perfect blend of classic ingredients served in the rustic molcajete bowl.
At brunch, the atmosphere is mellower, and you can choose from satisfying egg dishes like huevos rancheros and chilaquiles. Start that diet tomorrow--desserts are worth the indulgence. Chocolate tamale is heavenly, served in a corn husk; chilled lime souffle is equally well-received.
