My son and I visited Adelita's for dinner this evening (Our first time eating here). He was craving a quesadilla & I love an authentic fajitas burrito with cheese sauce. Upon arriving, the place was conveniently located, beautiful inside and out. The staff were very attentive, friendly and extremely helpful. We were seated right away. The menu had a variety of options at a very reasonable price. The amount of food you get is a generous portion. I will be returning and letting everyone I know about my new favorite mexican restaurant with authentic delicious food, full of flavor, and their tasty drinks. * took the photo after I had eaten half the burrito fajita (sorry it smelled amazing & I forgot to get a photo before scarfing down half of it)
We will be back (frequently)! Service and food were outstanding. What a gem for imperial. Seriously, hope the community see’s what a great restaurant we have. The staff is so incredibly kind and you can tell they put a ton of effort and care into the place. See you all soon! P.S. happy birthday to the chef
Nice atmosphere, good food, clean. The only bad thing was the chicken fajita marinade was salty (almost too salty to eat). I ate it but it took a second to choke down
Really delicious meal. The queso wasn’t anything special, but the quesabirria and Mexican street corn were both so good. The coconut margs were unique…at least for me, and really delicious.
Our first experience here was great. The first couple margaritas were really good but the last one was a little sour. We really enjoyed the chips and salsa. The chicken tacos were very good as well as the flautas. We sat at the bar and the service was pretty decent. Our only complaint I would say was the food took a little long, but we didn’t mind that much because it was really good. And for management…, there was windex sitting on the bar at the end, probably should have that put away.
Fantastic service took the family there after a basketball game and the food and service was some of the best we have had. Thank you and highly recommend. The decor was awesome it felt like we were out of town on a get away. Restaurant was clean and the bathrooms were very clean and smelled good.
The atmosphere and the food are very tasty and well seasoned, it is worth the wait since you can see the freshness and the good supplies they use. The margaritas are very good, we will be back.
