    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.

    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.

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

    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!

    Sometimes you don't need culinary fireworks. Sometimes you need a place that feels like someone is…read moregenuinely happy you walked through the door. Adelitas is that place. 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.

We ordered the chips and salsa trio to start, quesabirria, chicken and steak fajitas with corn equites and rice/beans as a side, and lastly the carnitas. Personally I got the carnitas and was shocked at the portion! The presentation was beautiful and overall it was quite tasty. The hard part with this meal was that the black bean puree was underneath all the meat and au jus so it was a bit challenging to scoop up and put in the tacos. Everyone enjoyed their meals and we were pretty stuffed that we couldn't make it to dessert.
