Weary of looking for the Santa Fe Restaurant we'd tried a few years ago, we saw Adelitas and stopped on a whim. I cannot imagine anyone calling the food there tasteless! I ordered a burrito with red and green sauce and loved every bite -- particularly the red sauce! My husband declared it hands down the best New Mex he'd... more

Chose this because of the good reviews we read. Found it had good service but the food was rather bland. Been told that this is the way authentic Mexican food is so I guess I perfer the Americanized form of Mexican. Service as quick and pleasant but that was the best part. more

After reading the great reviews and finding out that we were staying near Adelitas, we decided to have dinner there. My husband's beef was so tough he couldn't chew it even though it was well-flavored. I had shrimp in mango sauce which sounded great, but the sauce was very thick and not very good. It was served with white rice... more

ate here 6/3/09- food,service and price were good. However the red and green enchilada sauce was the worst I've ever had. Totally tasteless with some heat. I'll stick with my local restaurant for good Mexican. RA- Sunset Beach,NC more

We were only in Santa Fe two days and we had lunch here both days. We are from Texas and get great Mexican food all the time, but we enjoyed the New Mexican flavors at Adelitas. The first day I had chicken poblano, which was chicken in mole sauce. I'd never had mole before and it was very good. I... more

If authentic Mexican & New Mexican food is what you're looking for, look no further than Adelita's! Even when they're packed for dinner service (which is often) there's never a wait to be seated, and the food arrives quickly. The complimentary chips and 3 salsas are awesome, and the menu choices are all great. They have everything from beef tongue... more

Six of us (4 adults, 2 children) had an excellent dinner at Adelita's. We'd rate it as an excellent option for families or anyone looking for Mexican food in the area without feeling like a tourist. A few of us had margaritas -- frozen & on the rocks. They are served in 16 oz glasses and were delicious (though the... more

Adelitas appears to be a favorite of the locals, and I could see why. But the queso wasn't at all like normal queso, so be prepared for a different experience. It was good, but different. Almost like mozzerella cheese! more
