    Order of steak fajitas
    Rebecca S.

    Nice ambience, great service and the food was delicious - very nicely seasoned. My husband and I shared the steak fajitas and we substituted spinach for the tomatoes. It was a large portion with the perfect ratio of veggies to meat and it was all seasoned really nicely. Even the rice and beans tasted great and we enjoyed the chips and salsa. We definitely plan on coming back and I've already mentioned it as a great restaurant choice to a number of friends since we went.

    Quesabirria tacos with street corn

    The food here was so good. The staff was quick and attentive. We went on a Tuesday and there was a wait which I think tells you how good they are. Everyone else I went with got a combo with a quesadilla and tostada. The quesadilla had real chunks of chicken and melty cheese and looked delicious. My quesabirria tacos were good. The street corn was the best thing! So messy to eat but definitely flavorful. There are photo ops around if you are into that.

    Left over choripollo with a piece of masking tape that was in it!!!!

    We have always had good service and good food here so I'm not sure what happened but we went there last week on 8.6.26 brought home my leftovers and as I was eating the chicken found a piece of masking tape in it labeled 7.31!!! It was so gross there was something else questionable but I couldn't make it out so now I feel like parts of my meal were dug out of the trash or something. I wish I would have saw this in the restaurant. I just can't get past it needless to say we will not be going back. So let me know if there any good CLEAN Mexican restaurants in the Imperial area.

    Amazing Elote and steak Quesadillas!

    We wanted an early dinner (4:30) found Adelita's on Yelp. The restaurant is huge and we were a little worried because there were not a lot of diners. However we soon found out this place is FAbulous! Our waiter was so gracious and helpful. We loved the chips and salsa. The salsa is in a little carafe and you pour your serving into little bowls so everyone has their own salsa. Great Idea. I ordered the steak Burrito with black beans and My sister ordered Steak Quesadillas with Elote. We loved every morsel. Fun decor ..great staff ...high quality food. We are returning!! The restaurant was much busier when we left and we hope it will be around a long time so we can try all the items on their extensive menu!

    We wanted to try this since it was recently opened. It is a HUGE space and they made it very beautiful! Every single worker was super friendly and the owner or manager was the one that came over multiple times in addition to our waitress to refill our drinks and make sure everything was good. The food was average Mexican food, but good. We will definitely be back!

    Probably would not go back... They have a huge parking lot. Even if you see the lot full, your wait will probably be 15 minutes or less. The service is fast. Chips and drinks brought to your table right away. Chips and salsa were okay - have had better. Margarita- ordered Cadillac/top shelf, but there was so much Grand Marnier in it wow. We were just stopping by to try it out, so only ordered the "the sampler". It came out like loaded nachos when I thought it would all be separate. Was missing our street corn too. Fries were so soggy. Cheese dip not much on the plate. Place was nice and big but was loud inside. I think this may be because of the acoustics in the place. I may go back again to try something different if friends wanted to try the place, but that would be it.

    Poblano Relleno and street corn, delicious!

    I'm happy to have the newly opened Adelita's Restaurant in my neighborhood in Imperial, MO and had a wonderful first lunch there. I ordered the Poblano Relleno plate and the food I had was on point and this dish came with one steak and one shrimp poblano and I was so full after eating the steak poblano that I brought the other half home for a great dinner, it was delicious. Also, I ordered the Mexican street corn as a side dish and thought it tasted yummy. I thought the complimentary chips and salsa were really good as well. I'll definitely be going back and liked the servers and the atmosphere was great and I found it interesting that they kept the same layout of the wood paneled booths and bar that was the previous restaurant there that was Scotty's Irish Pub. I didn't see any lunch specials but that's not a problem for me, I'd rather have a full hardy meal anyway.

    Super busy spot! Stopped in and opted to sit at the bar instead of waiting for a table…read more Staff behind the bar were so friendly! they were working their tails off but keeping a good attitude along the way. We got water and tea, didn't order drinks but that didn't change their service, I think we had three different servers/bartenders and they were all great. Order the wings! They won the Wing Ding last year with their Honey Habanero BBQ grilled wings. We liked them at the Wing Ding and we loved them here. Just the right amount of kick and grilled perfectly. I would order these every time. I didn't want a large meal so decided to go with a side garden salad and House Honey Fish appetizer. The salad was good, lettuces, shredded carrot, onion, tomato, and croutons. I got no cheeses and went with house Italian. It was fresh, the croutons good and enough so that I took half for lunch the following day. The House Honey Fish was fried fish on top of chimichurri slaw topped with a Hot Honey drizzle. It was very good, the crunch of the slaw, and the fish was really good. I would probably leave off the Hot Honey next time, only because I don't like too much sweet. Hubby got Cajun chicken pasta and he enjoyed it. Busy spot but the staff seem to care about thier service and about each other.

    WOULD recommend (general). Stop by on a hot summer day, they have few locations in the St. Louis…read morearea so we decided this one since it was around the way from what we were doing that day. They have drive-in lot right by the service windows with the outdoor patio seating (resembles Sonic Drive-In). They have a menu for viewing outdoor but can also look online since its consistent amongst all locations. When we went, we first ordered the 2x3 tender-wing combo (Level 2 heat) w/ side of Mac & Cheese and Chuck's sauce/Honey Sriracha Aioli; and also ordered the Chicken Sandwich (Level 3 heat) + coleslaw w/ side of French Fries and Chuck's sauce. First piece of advice I would go up with the heat level, we overestimated the level. For someone who wanted heat but not too much heat, level 3 was too mild and could have done level 4/5, same for level 2 could have done level 3. For the chicken sandwich, I wish they could have put full cuts of cabbage rather than minced pieces in the middle; I also think the sandwich could be little more tender but flavor wise, the sandwich is not lacking at all (rating 7.8/10). But they absolutely LOADED me with fries in my box so I appreciate them for that (rating 8.6/10). For the 2x3 combo, it was actually 2x4 (gave extra wing), I personally recommend the Honey Sriracha Aioli with the chicken (rating 7.5/10). If you are a honey mustard lover like me, then Chuck's sauce is perfect, its a mix of honey mustard with dash of BBQ sauce. The side of mac & cheese was above par in my opinion, could use a little more seasoning but I liked it nonetheless (rating 8.1/10). They also had frozen lemonade that can be mixed (strawberry lemonade and lemonade flavor), definitely recommend especially during this summer heat. Overall, I enjoyed my visit here, the service was timely and the lady at the counter was very polite. They give you a little pager to let you know when your order is up. This is a solid option, especially compared to other franchises like Dave's Hot Chicken. They also are on DoorDash if you wanted to have delivered.

    Amazing food. I love their hot chicken and their fries! One thing to note is the food takes a while…read moreto be ready so I'd recommend ordering ahead. But it's well worth the wait.

    Today my bestie and I took a trip down to Kimmswick and made a stop at the Blue Owl Restaurant &…read moreBakery for lunch. It had been years since we had visited, and we were excited to spend the day walking around the little town and enjoying a meal at one of the places it's known for. We arrived around 11 a.m., and it was the perfect timing. There was plenty of parking, and we were able to walk right in and get seated. After lunch, we spent about an hour shopping around town, and when we came back through, the parking lot was packed and the sidewalks were much busier. I would definitely recommend arriving earlier if you want a more relaxed experience. Even though it was August, the weather was surprisingly beautiful, with temperatures in the low 70s, so we decided to sit out on the veranda. It was such a great choice. The view was peaceful, there was a nice breeze, and it felt like we were enjoying lunch somewhere special rather than just sitting inside a busy restaurant. It made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Our waitress was wonderful--very attentive and friendly. We must have been on the same wavelength because every time I asked for her opinion between two choices, she picked the exact one I was already leaning toward without me telling her. Her recommendations were spot on! We both ordered the trio, which allows you to choose three items from a selected menu. We each started with the white chili, and it was perfect for the cooler summer day. It was warm, comforting, and full of flavor. For my main dish, I chose the turkey melt on a croissant. The croissant was flaky, buttery, and absolutely delicious. I'm trying to cut back on carbs, but that plan went out the window because it was just too good. I did save half of the sandwich for the ride home, but there was no way I was leaving that croissant behind! My bestie ordered the chicken salad croissant, and she loved it as well. She said the chicken salad was flavorful, moist, and delicious, and the croissant made it even better. Of course, we couldn't leave without trying dessert. The Blue Owl is famous for their Levee High Apple Pie, but neither of us were really craving apple pie that day. Instead, we went inside to look at the dessert display, and that might have been the hardest decision of the whole visit. Everything looked amazing! I was torn between the chocolate cream pie and the French silk, and ultimately chose the French silk. It was very smooth and rich, and the flavor was delicious. My only complaint was that I personally would have preferred more whipped cream on top, and the crust was a little firmer than I like. It wasn't bad at all--it just wasn't my favorite dessert choice. If I went back, I would probably try something different next time. My bestie chose the gooey butter cheesecake, and that one was a winner. The crust was made from a gooey butter cookie, and it was such a unique and delicious twist. Overall, we had such a great day in Kimmswick. It was the perfect little escape before summer ends and school starts back up. A beautiful walk through a charming town, great conversation with a best friend, and a delicious meal made for a wonderful day. We're already looking forward to coming back!
