Return to Adobe Blues - Staten Island Mexican & Music

Staten Island is an anachronism.  It suffers some ridicule, and it REALLY, REALLY has some the worst retail stores among the Giants like Macy's. 

HOWEVER, It has some of the best parks and wildlife in NEW YORK CITY.  Fortunately, the CULINARY scene has been improving and diversifying for the last several years despite the economy.

Tonite was a return to ADOBE BLUES with friends.  This place is a GEM if you like live music.  Here since 1993.  AND the food is very good Mexican.  The appetizers are original, like mini tacos, buffalo sausage, and Jalepeno Poppers.  Chili Rellenos and Tamales are terrific main courses.  200 Beers on the list, Margaritas and a short, serviceable, inexpensive wine list.

Now the clincher:  The WOLFPACK.  A Blues / Jazz trio.  These baby boomers remind you of CREAM that was raised in New Orleans.  They do mix of styles with some jazz, but mostly blues.  For the later sets, they invite local musicians to sit in a jam session

Here is the way to do this.  Get there at 8pm on WEDNESDAYS.  No reservations.  Order and eat.  Band sets up and comes on for real at 9:15 ish.  45 minutes sets.  You start to think you like Staten Island and don't regret passing up the opportunity in Hoboken.
