Adelitas was introduced to me about 2011 it has been a solid spot in the San Jose Mexican food scene longer than that. You got the classic ambience, the classic booths, the classic bar in the back and also near the bathrooms They even have $.25 90s game machine machines and also sticker machines. Food: It had been a few years since I've been there and then I went in the pandemic with my girlfriend when mass were required approximately around 2022 right before the lift and it was such a good experience. The one thing that really knocked it out the park for me was the service, the quality of the food and the *Vegan Flautas plate* , just look at the picture, it's next level! Sadly, the 711 next door just closed (12/2024) as we used to get a pre-game drink There or some candy if the line got really long bc Adelitas was packed, however, go support this local spot!
I have been coming to this place even before it expanded, since 2007. It has always been delicious... I've never had better carne asada! The super burrito or super tacos with carne asada is always a go-to for me! This last visit I had my kids with me, and the waitresses were amazing. So friendly and per usual, the food was great. The owner is still there, and still makes it a point to say hello to patrons and always has a smile on his face. I can't recommend this place enough!
I love this restaurant. They are really clean, they have wonderful service, and there's a fairly large parking lot so you usually don't have to worry about parking. Years ago I used to get their Torta (which was really good and I'm sure still is) but recently my favorite thing to get from here is their breakfast burrito. It's so delicious, juicy, and quite large which is a huge plus. And another great thing is that they're always consistent with how they make their food so you can expect perfection each and every time. They have a large selection of menu items so I'm sure there's so many other delicious foods to try. It also seems there's a bar next door as well (but I've never been myself). 10/10 rating! I highly recommend this place for Mexican food!
Stopped by for takeout during lunch. Their lunch specials can't be beat for both quantity and price. I came on Wednesday which was the regular burrito (I got chicken), chips/salsa, and a small cup of their chicken tortilla soup. I was pleasantly surprised by the soup. It has so much flavor. The burrito was nothing special but nonetheless good and satisfying. The salsa (green and red) and the salsa fresca were very good as well. Can't wait to come back and try something else.
Everything from delicious food, great chips and salsa, yummy aguas frescas always served with a smile. Nice familial place. Adelita's is one of our favorite Mexican eateries when in San Jose. For dessert you must have the Flan
