“La Adelita” is the story of a young woman during the Mexican Revolution who falls in love with a sergeant, leaves her humble home behind, and travels with him and his regiment. “La Adelita” became an archetype of a woman warrior during this era. An Adelita was a soldadera, or woman soldier, who took on various supporting roles to her beloved. She prepared meals, mended clothing, cared for the wounded, and even fought in battles against Mexican government forces. With the passage of time, the word “Adelita” came to be used for all the soldaderas, marking their place in history as a vital force in the Mexican revolutionary war efforts. The term “La Adelita” symbolizes a brave, altruistic woman with an abundance of strength and courage.

I always judge a Mexican restaurant by their salsa. They offered 3 versions, I went with the house red. Tasty. This was my first visit and I will be back when in town. Authentic Mexican food, comfortable atmosphere, and great specials. I had the lengua tacos and they were perfect. If you like tequila, they have what the doctor ordered. I put this restaurant in my Yelp bookmarks for next time.
Personal go-to favorite that's always a good idea is the Carne Asada. DELICIOUS!! So flavorful and paired with a yummy enchilada 🙂 TACO TUESDAY!!!!! I cannot stress it enough!!!!! Most the tacos are a dollar except for the speciality ones (ex. lengua) but the CARNE ASADA ones (again) are so so so unbelievably delicious. Use the salsa in the tube on top of the table for em!!!
They have the most delicious food! I absolutely ADORE Taco Tuesday! Just thinking about those tacos makes my mouth water. At the end of every Tuesday, I'm instantly wanting every day to be Taco Tuesday!!! And their chips and salsa are so delicious! Everything they serve is masterfully seasoned, and the staff is really nice!!!
Absolutely love this place. We go at least once a week here. The ambiance and service are great. The food is legit! The flavors take me back to Oaxaca, Mexico and the drinks are awesome. The house margarita is a must. I keep inviting friends here and everybody has loved Adelitas.

Adelita's has always been a great spot, but the addition of some of these delicious cocktails has kicked things up a notch! I enjoy seeing what's new on the menu and all of the thought and care that's put into each drink. And they're almost too beautiful to drink! (Almost...) Great job Christina and team!
Delish food, great atmosphere, and a local favorite. Which was highly recommended to us by a local. Good prices, too.
It was really amazing!!! The service was great, the food was delicious and served very fast, It was really amazing!!! I don't wait five minutes after I've ordered and the food was already on the table, incredible!!! 🤪 Higly recommended.
Outstanding! Bring friends so you can order a nice variety, everything we’ve ever had is excellent! As a professional chef I am sensitive to cleanliness, the kitchen was looking deeply cleaned on this and past visits (I always evaluate a kitchens clean level, even under the table legs, a chronic problem). We will be back soon!
