    Potato/Jalapeño and Shrimp tacos.
    C A.

    This place is bomb. You can tell that the guy that was making our food really cared about the quality of the food and the presentation. I had the Potato and Jalapeño and the Shrimp tacos, my friend had the Birria and Carne Asada tacos. We agreed that all were five stars. Not even a question.

    Looking to my side OfI look forward it was a view of I25 and downtown Denver

    I came on tuesday early afternoon Actually found a decent.parking spacey first bite was the chicken WOW. SO SALTY After drinkimg some water I tried the other two tacos I just could not shake the salt and heat So this is only my opinion bit I would not come backpp Guess that is what Taco week is about Shout out to westword for giving me the oppprtunity to try these places without breaking the bank Service was good.

    Horchata Chai

    Stumbled upon this place because we were hungry, and it was one of the only open places for food in the area. It's located on the top floor of Avanti Food and Beverage. You order at the walk-up counter and then they will text you when your order is ready. When we got the text they forgot our chips and queso but it was an easy fix. We ordered the chips and queso but we got the chilis on the side. I also had the KFC taco and the barbacoa taco. The KFC is Korean fried chicken, basil slaw, kimchi cucumbers, spicy soy and garlic sauce. The Barbacoa brisket is slow cooked Oaxaca style beef, avocado salsa verde, cucumbers, red onions and serranos. We chose to sit outside on the rooftop which had a semi decent view looking towards Denver. They also have a fire pit to sit around and games you can play out there. For the food I enjoyed the chips and queso. The queso was unlike anything I've had. It had a different flavor than I am used to, but it was delicious. The two tacos I had I enjoyed but I should have taken the peppers off of one it was on the spicy side but it added a nice kick. The tacos are big for sure. Make sure to grab some extra napkins. The horchata Chai came in handy to cool off my mouth.

    I really enjoyed this place. The food was good! We got nachos, tacos, and a quesadilla. The service was quick. And rhe place was clean. I'd definitely eat here again

    A delicious take on Modern Mexican with a unique twist of Asian infused flavors. Everything our group was served from the Crispy Ass Sweet Potato fries to the Mole Wings was so tasty, fresh and beautifully presented. If your looking for boring & traditional Mexican food, you wont find it here! I'll definitely be back!

    OUR NEW FAVORITE SPOT! We've been trying to come here for months now and it's always booked. Ended…read moreup going on a Monday afternoon and were able to seat outside as it is first comes first in their patio area- the patio area is awesome and a good spot to people watch- you still get the same menu as inside. That being said, the food seems very basic on the menu but it is SO INCREDIBLE! Cannot recommend the sweet potato enough and ceviche (ask for chips). If this place wasn't always booked I would be going every week. We were there for a birthday celebration and they brought our mezcal shoes for us. We felt taken care of and loved every minute of it. They also have a happy hour to look out for!

    This was a delicious spot for Mexican food! I heard about Alma Fonda Fina months in advance of our…read moreDenver trip, which was thankfully enough time to snag a reservation. This place fills up 60 days in advance, without fail! When we arrived, we were able to get parking about a block away on the street. We were soon greeted and guided to our seats upon walking in. This is a very small restaurant - only a few tables, not many options for big groups, and some bar seating both inside and outside. I can see why the reservations are in such high demand! We were recommended to get 4-5 small plates, so we decided on the Guacamole Alma, Burrito de Frijoles Puerco, Apache en su Jugo, and Enmolada de Pato. We also shared the hibiscus margarita and Mex 75. The drinks came out first - the hibiscus margarita was so refreshing, light and delicious! We weren't as big fans of the Mex 75 - but if you like smoky drinks this is the one for you. The guacamole came out first - it was tangy and tasty. I will say that the other dishes were a lot more unique. The burrito was a standout - we absolutely loved the homemade sourdough tortilla, one of the best we've ever tasted. The chorizo filling was savory and tasty. The Apache en su Jugo was unique and had a lovely flavor - if you are a beef tartare fan this is a wonderful dish to try! The enmolado de pato came out last and we thoroughly enjoyed the mole and flavor. This is definitely worth checking out. I will say as a Houston native we have several restaurants with similar flavors and slightly lower price tags and wait times, so I am a bit spoiled in that regard. But all in all the service is wonderful, it's a pleasure to try so many different and unique dishes, and the joy of snagging a reservation is worth it!

    A friend recommended this spot, and I'm so glad! We went on…read moretaco Tuesday and had no problem getting bar seating (or there were a few tables available) around 5pm but I noticed after 6pm people were waiting for seating. The food was delicious! We got $2 chips and salsa off the happy hour menu and the queso con soyrizo (not on HH menu) which was served with warm tortillas. Honestly we probably didn't need all that because the tacos were so good I could've just filled up on more of the tacos, but still was a great meal! I ordered the lengua, pastor, and taco special (breaded shrimp). They were all so good. Think taco quality of a good street taco spot but with the ambiance of a cute tex mex bar. The bartender was great and made a solid marg ($8 on happy hour). You get a great deal on taco Tuesday but I'm sure you'd get great service and quality any day of the week!

I grabbed a seat at the bar where the bartender was friendly and engaging. On a recent Wednesday at 7:15, the restaurant was packed. When I left around 8:30, it was still busy. That's usually the best review a restaurant can get. Loyal customers don't keep coming back out of habit. They come back because it feels like home. The all-day happy hour margarita for $9 certainly doesn't hurt. The second one arrives before you've had time to argue yourself out of it. I ordered the enchiladas with carne asada and their house mole. If you're expecting one of those intensely complex moles with enough ingredients to fill a pantry, this isn't that. Adelitas' version is comforting, approachable, and deeply homey. It tastes less like a culinary experiment and more like something your abuela has been making for decades. The carne asada was tender, the rice and beans were exactly what they should be, and every bite reminded me why comfort food never goes out of style. Before leaving, I made the smartest decision of the evening. Tres leches to go. I devoured it later at home while Netflix asked if I was still watching. The cake somehow manages to be light while completely satisfying. Don't skip it. Better yet, don't pretend you're saving it for tomorrow. Adelitas isn't trying to impress you. It's trying to feed you well, welcome you warmly, and send you home happier than when you arrived. Whether your abuela was Mexican...or Greek...you'll understand exactly what they're serving here.

Happy hour is from 4-6 every day and the deals are great. The quesabirria and the camarones al aljillo were delicious.

Service is consistently good. One of my favorite places for a drink and a bite in the area!

Ni tuyo means not yours. Experience ni tuyo. Pork belly tacos were insanely good. Also the rib molcajete. Those two items stood out. They feature original cocktails, thoughtfully invented. Some of them blow my mind, some of them I didn't think worked very well for my preference, but all of them were unique. I value this uniqueness. Don't get for about mezcal Wednesdays. A great way to leave your comfort zone and try whatever they are featuring for a reduced price. Their variety of curated mezcal is a great way to start and make progress on your mezcal journey. There is such a variety of mezcal that I believe there is something for almost everyone. Put your trust in their bartenders to guide you on the different styles and flavors. And finally, they are a huge part of the Colorado agave collective. Monthly agave tasting. The best way to learn and appreciate.

But this was Monday evening and we were seated immediately. Our server said that we had 5 minutes left for Happy Hours--thank you!!--so ordered Caliente Margaritas and appetizers. The nachos were delicious--and messy! The Margaritas were as well. I had a nonalcoholic Athletic Brewing Company Cerveza Atletica (Mexican style copper). There were several other NA cocktails and beers available as well. We were all very pleased with our entrees. They were all luscious. Two of us are vegetarian and there were plenty of choices. I had Crispy Avocado Tacos, which came with black beans, and a side of Street Corn--both great choices. My friend had quesadillas and Potato Flautas , which I tasted and almost wish I had ordered as well. Our carnivore gentleman partners were also very happy, with one of them choosing a sampler, "Perdida's 'Best Of' Plate." Perdida is a great new addition to the Wash Park area.
