Adelita Mexican Restaurant

My husband and I got dinner from Adelita again last night, and five stars, two thumbs up and enthusiastic applause all around. This was our first time back after visiting right when they opened a couple of months ago, and we've been dreaming of a return trip ever since that first one. This time around we got to order our food for pick up via DoorDash, which made everything quick and easy.We ended up going with what we got last time. Enmoladas for me. Abuelas Mole for him. And we can report that Adelita is consistent with their well made entrees. That mole!!! Can I just jump into a giant vat of it??? (OK, kidding about that, but only a little.)I can see why it's Adelita's signature. You must get a dish with mole if you come. We were sad to see El Mundo go when it closed on the block, but I think Adelita surpasses El Mundo, which takes a lot for me to say. This is authentic Mexican, as far as I can tell. So lucky we live nearby. This will definitely be a regular for us.

I almost don't want to share this gem but I must. This little spot is run by a family and the food is cooked by mom. It is Mexican home cooking and it is awesome. Horchata had great cinnamon flavor, the elote was perfectly spiced and had a generous sprinkle of cheese. The mole was dark and chocolaty in the best way. We got the special of the day as well and it was so full of rich flavor I wanted to lick my plate. Portions are generous and prettily plated. Oh, house made fresh tortillas!!!! We are so happy these friendly folks are in the neighborhood.

My husband and I had dinner recently at Adelita and it was delicious!It's a cozy, adorable restaurant on Frankfort Ave offering delicious homemade Mexican cuisine. Everything was homemade, and beautifully plated. We tried the horchata, empanadas, a mole dish, and chiles rellenos. The rellenos here are made using Jalapano peppers and stuffed with flavorful chicken. I loved them!Highly recommend stopping by :)

Ordered the bean dip trio, empanadas, emmoladas, and chili relleno. Standouts for us were the salsa (outstanding flavor), guac, and empanadas, but it was ALL DELICIOUS and fresh. We took our leftover emmoladas and had them for breakfast the next day with a couple of fried eggs and I'm still dreaming about all of it. Yum. Excited to have this spot close by.

First visit - takeout . Just got the enmoladas. Really delicious.. great mole , nicely cooked rice and plantains. Everything tasted fresh. Friendly guy behind the till.Would go back in a heartbeat.

Absolutely amazing! We picked up a To-go order. Service was fast and friendly. The restaurant looked adorable and cozy especially with the Christmas decorations. The food was absolutely incredible. The chicken tamales were some of the best I've ever had. My husband loved his enmoladas. You can tell everything is homemade here. We will definitely be back.

I've eaten there twice and Adelita is my new favorite Mexican restaurant! I'm a vegetarian and I feasted on their sides of refried beans (which were the best tasting I've ever had!), guacamole, rice and plantains. Delicious and delightful!

Went for dinner this week with a friend and loved this place! Cozy little house on Frankfort . We had the appetizer trip of sauces served with freshly fried chips- great flavors for all 3. I got the mole chicken enchiladas and was blown away; best mole in town. Service was excellent, they were constantly checking on us throughout our meal. We'll definitely be back.

I had such a lovely carry out meal of chicken mole. The flavors were amazing, I hadn't had molè for many years and it took me right back. Service from the owner (or one of the family member owners) was informative and friendly even though I had to change the time of my order and was requesting it for an hour after I was placing the order. Comfortable cozy atmosphere where family, friends or romantic meals would be welcome. I cant wait to return!

Tried this place on a whim this past weekend and it was DELICIOUS. It's a family owned restaurant with limited seating but it's worth the wait if they're busy! I had the Horchata, asada tacos, and flan. It was all very authentic and tasty. The flan was definitely my favorite and I'll be back to try more of their food!
