Adelita Taqueria & Restaurant

I recently visited this restaurant and tried the chorizo nachos and steak tacos. Overall, it was a satisfying experience.I started with the chorizo nachos, which were very good. While the chorizo itself lacked a bit in flavor, the combination of cheese and chips was absolutely delicious. I'm considering trying a different meat next time or perhaps going for an all-vegetable option to enhance the overall taste.On the other hand, the steak tacos were a real highlight. They were incredibly filling, loaded with generous portions of well-cooked steak. The texture was perfect, and I appreciated the effort put into the preparation. However, I couldn't help but wish for a bit more seasoning or flavor in the dish. Although the green and red sauces were provided, the tacos seemed to lack a distinct taste without them.I would definitely come back. The ambiance was pleasant, the place was clean, and the service was nice. Looking forward to trying more from the menu on my next visit!

Randomly stumbled across this taqueria. My friend and I ordered Steak Nachos so yummy. The chips and salsa were complimentary. The service was good and they helped us out with ease. Everyone was friendly. The Ambiance was nice, we sat outside and was able to experience south philly for the first time.

Food is great! Whenever I come here, I always feel welcumed by the staff here. Whenever I leave, I feel satisfied but not stuffed like other places. Their breaded chicken and burritos are good. I'm a picky eater but they can take stuff out of ur food if you don't like it.

Great Mexican food? Check. Close to home? Check. Easy take out experience? Check. Takes credit cards? Check. The only thing stopping me from coming back here every week is my quest to try every Mexican restaurant on 9th street. This is a top 3 place on my quest so far (2/3 of the way done). Their takeout orders really held up on the short way home, even the nachos. I would love to come here and BYO sometime because their seating area is much bigger than most other similar restaurants. We got tacos, a burrito, enchiladas and nachos - all excellent. Topped off with a huge horchata for $78 with tip. I suspect I will be back before my quest is over

Really great spot - byo, has a bunch of tables instead for sitting! It has fun music too - we did nachos, tacos, and tortas. We always had water which was really appreciated.

Along this portion of 9th Street within the Italian Market area, there are several Mexican and Italian restaurant options. We made a spur of the moment decision to pop into Adelita. So glad we did!The food was authentic! Where can you get cactus as part of your entree! In addition, it was delicious and plentiful at reasonable prices. The service was also personable and helpful. The complimentary chips are nice, but beware that both dipping sauces are quite hot. My husband got the Bistec con Nopales, which he absolutely loved and devoured. I had never tried cactus before; it was good! I went with the recommended Enchiladas Suiza's. It was so tasty with the creamy tomato sauce - one of the less spicy options.

We frequent this place for their tacos and tortas and they've never been a disappointment! Very solid restaurant.

Normally really good tacos but sometimes hit or miss with the fat content and tonight was the worst. I ordered the suadero steak tacos and I would say 50% of the meat was pure fat. I took a picture of all the fat I had to pick out of my taco and honestly the rest of the meat was dry. Really disappointed how the quality has gone downhill recently

This hidden gem in south philly is why we need to support more authentic Mexican restaurants. The quantity and quality is phenomenal at such a reasonable price. I mean doesn't the picture says it all ?! Greatest and most friendly customer service. And also a clean restaurant. Side note, It's hard finding good taco spots in this already food gentrified city. Especially in center city filled with overpriced taco restaurants. Anyways, I hope Adelita add some good drinks onto the menu for a nice addition.

Another pretty good Mexican place to add into the mix; won't unseat my three favorites (Mole Poblano, Tamalex, El Jarocho), but is just a touch behind them in my view. Service, as is typical for most taquerias in Philly, is top notch with everyone going out of their way to be helpful.Food quality itself was quite good, but some things lacked a bit of flavor. I had chilaquiles verdes, which were quite good, but could have used a bit more egg; another one of my party had lamb barbacoa, which she was not a fan of (I just think she doesn't like lamb though), and the third person had some chicken dish. Guacamole was also quite good. Would definitely come back and be happy to try more things.
