We are a gastropub specializing in Cuban and Peruvian flavors. While still adhering to age old family recipes, we strive to be innovative and open minded, just as our ancestors were when these flavors were first imagined. Here at BaBaLoo, we want to take on this multicultural challenge by providing the most authentic dining experience that Lake Havasu City and Palm Desert have to offer. Cuba and Peru are rich in history, and nothing tells that tale better than their diverse flavor combinations. We take ideas from cuisines around the world; Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, Caribbean, and African flavors have heavily influenced Cuban and Peruvian food throughout history.

Wonderful meal. Great garden atmosphere with excellent and attentive service. Sauces for beef and veal dishes were terrific; apps and desserts were equally impressive. A memorable experience we are eager to repeat. Highly recommend!

This is consistently a wonderful experience. I have come to Adobe Grill when visiting La Quinta/Indio for several years and have always had great meals, drinks, and most of all service. This time was just as good as always.
