Casitas De Amigos

I had been looking for a good breakfast burrito spot and I remembered Don Rubens. The prices are…read morevery good and the burritos are a good size too. One burrito is good for one person but if you're not too hungry you can share it between 2 people. Service was excellent and staff answered all our questions. They also sell other Mexican food but my focus this trip was to have a breakfast burrito. Seating: There is limited outdoor seating and some parking. Ordering:Make sure you order at the window and wait for them to call your number ( everyone stands around waiting). I look forward to trying all the other burrito varieties.

Some places you spend $20, you'll get one meal. Some places you spend $20 and get four meals. Don…read moreRuben's is the latter. Portion size is not going to be a problem here. I love Mexican food leftovers. My mom keeps asking, so I been here three weekends straight. Tried six different things. Not a breakfast burrito yet ironically. Nachos, tacos and asada fries are my favorite so far. They have green and red sauce, but no pickled carrots or radish or anything like that. I find the green is spicier. Red is perfect. Has some kick, but not overpowering and doesn't linger so you can enjoy it. Ask what's in the entrees or figure it out as you go like I'm doing. Some of the ingredients aren't for me, like iceberg lettuce. Come ready to eat. You'll get a lot of good food.

I've been going here for the Burrito Poblano. If you haven't tried it, you should. Think of a wet…read moreburrito smothered in cheese and molé. One bite harmonizes the spicy and earthy flavor of molé into a savory, carne asada. You'll be addicted. That's why I keep coming back. No other molé dish compares to Casa Adelita. Now why do I keep coming back to the Hawaiin Gardens location? It's for the ambiance and service. It's not noisy at all. Casa adelita puts the "casa" for your family and friends. You can listen to nice banda music in the background and also watch fútbol on TV. Last but not least, the service is stellar. One time, I forgot my credit card and started driving off. Gabriella caught me at the stop sign and made sure I got my card back. Leticia (Letty) was my server today. Her attentiveness and welcoming attitude convicted me to write a review. She didn't treat me as someone who just ate there. She wanted to be sure that I had a great experience. As soon as my chips and salsa were done, she was like, "Want more chips and salsa?" She made sure I had plenty to drink and always served me with glowing happiness. So I'm not just recommending Casa Adelita. I'm recommending Casa Adelita Hawaiian Gardens. If you want to eat, go to other Casa Adelita branches. If you want a full heart and stomach, go to Casa Adelita Hawaiian Gardens. You'll love it here.

It's been a while since I've been to Casa Adelita in Hawaiian Gardens, so I decided to stop by…read moreagain. It's a small Mexican restaurant, but it's clean and has a welcoming atmosphere. The staff was very friendly, and our waitress was great helpful, attentive, and provided excellent customer service. Honestly, everyone we interacted with was friendly. I ordered the wet shrimp burrito with shrimp, beans, rice, sour cream, cheese, and salsa. I went with both the green AND red sauce because why choose just one? That burrito was absolutely delicious! The shrimp was good, the sauces brought everything together, and I enjoyed every bite. If you're in the Hawaiian Gardens area and looking for some good Mexican food, give Casa Adelita a try. I'll definitely be back!

I tried their chicken mole wet burrito and it was delicious! Service is prompt and with a smile. Ambiance is basic and sort of small inside. Talk about a "hole in the wall". Almost literally.

People were bringing in their own pots (4+ qts size) and I asked why... when people order menudo the kitchen staff will put it directly into your own pot to take home. And boy did it smell good. I'm trying that one next. Anyway, I'm pretty sure you'll love this place so I'm going out on a limb and giving them 5 stars from the start. Enjoy

I got one each of every taco available: pork al pastors, everything else was beef : cheek, lengua, asada, cabeza, labio- every meat morsel was tender and delicious. I asked for onions and cilantro on top. Self serve bar has mild green salsa and a delicious but spicy yellow orange (scotch bonnet?). Casual dining: you place your order and the food is prepared quickly. Served a refreshing jamaica (I hope I spelled that right) - just enough tangy to sweetness flavor, also tried the horchata . Was served by a kindly gentleman : I had asked for water but did not realize it was bottled and charged for each one. I asked if he would replace them with two more tacos instead (slightly close in price but not exact) and he did. Got a quesadilla for the child and it was a huge portion with no added spices so she enjoyed it. Parking was easy the afternoon I came. High chairs available. Clean restroom.
