El Adobe Cafe

The Happy Hour Lowdown

El Adobe Cafe runs a weekday happy hour from 4-6 PM with margarita specials and beer specials. The pricing rotates but stays firmly in the affordable camp. For a traditional Mexican restaurant in Midtown, the happy hour is a nice complement to an already reasonably priced menu.

Why You Are Actually Here

Because El Adobe is the kind of Mexican restaurant that has been around long enough to have earned its following through consistency, not hype. The margaritas are made right, the food is traditional and satisfying, and the happy hour pricing makes an already affordable experience even better. It is comfort food with cheap drinks in a neighborhood full of fancier options.

The Vibe Check

Traditional Mexican cafe atmosphere. Colorful, warm, and unpretentious. The Virginia Street Midtown location means you are in the mix, but El Adobe has its own regular crowd that comes for the food first and the happy hour second. It is a neighborhood staple rather than a destination bar.

Pro Tip

Order a margarita and an entree during happy hour and you will walk out having spent less than a cocktail costs at most Midtown bars. The value proposition here is strong.
