Chili Relano that’s the best we’ve tasted in the U.S.

For Brenda and me, that is saying a lot.

One of our favorite Mexican dishes, chili relano, is something we order more than frequently when we try a new Mexican restaurant. It is how we measure whether or not we go back.
In addition to having a good staff, wonderful Margaritas served in oversized hand-blown glassware from Guadalajara, and a beautiful setting, the Adobe Grill at La Quinta Resort & Club http://www.laquintaresort.com/ in La Quinta, California exceeded our expectations. This should not have been a surprise since it is known as the best Mexican restaurant in the Coachella Valley.

The Adobe Grill says they serve Authentic Regional Mexican Cuisine, and it seemed to be true. Norm selected lobster enchiladas which he thoroughly enjoyed. But, the chili relano is what topped the evening for Brenda and me. Even though our portion was large enough to split, and we should have, it was sooooo good, I imagine we might just eat an entire entree again. It was similar to what I’ve tasted in Puebla, Mexico.

If you are staying at the lovely La Quinta Resort & Club, you’ve undoubtedly found the Adobe Grille. If not, when you drive into the registration area, it is on the upper level of The Plaza. The Adobe Grill is open every night and for lunch on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Phone 760 564-4111 for reservations.
