Unfortunately, I didn't try a margarita this lunch but I did have some good food. Chips and salsa were good but one mild complaint, if you're going to serve chips and salsa, they should be whole chips and not small broken chips. This is doubly true if you order queso, which we did. I had the chori pollo, as three of us did. Another the taco salad and two others had the chicken fajita. Good food that I'd love to have again. Minor complaint about the food is that it came out in three parts spaced out by several minutes. It did not detract from our good meal but it is worth mentioning. Our wait staff was fantastic, fast and friendly and at least three people came by to check on us during our lunch. One of our party had a birthday so we had a fried ice cream to share. Overall a good experience. I will return.

The menu not only has Mexican dishes, but also has menu items from previous menus restraints in the building had. I liked that because there's always that person who orders a burger at a Mexican restaurant. Now they have more options, which looked great. I was not impressed by the margarita. It tasted like a premix, which I don't tend to enjoy. The food however was presented really well, was full of flavor, and game out fast. Service was friendly and quick. There are several TVs if you want to watch a game. The restaurant is open, so could get a little noisy with people talking, but not unbearable. I will definitely come here again.

I recently visited Adelitas Mexican Restaurant in Cedar Rapids after hearing that they made their…read moretortillas in-house. Sadly, when I inquired about this before ordering, the server looked at me as if I was asking something outlandish and nonchalantly remarked, "We've never done that - there isn't ANY restaurant around here that has the people to do that." This set the tone for an experience that was a mixed bag. Service: Service-wise, I was left wanting. Not only did the server's dismissive response about the tortillas disappoint me, but I also encountered another hiccup when it came to payment. After we had already paid with a debit card, we were informed that ANY sort of card used was subject to a 4% service fee. This felt like a hidden charge that should have been communicated upfront. Another minor issue was the lack of drink refills. My guest ordered a soda and was never offered a refill or asked if they needed anything else. I only ordered water for lunch and was disappointed to be offered a single refill when our food was initially brought by someone other than our server. My cup sat empty for over half an hour while we finished our meal. Food Quality: The food at Adelitas was reasonably tasty but nothing extraordinary. While their flavors were acceptable, their menu offerings of only shredded chicken and ground beef options as protein fillings fall drastically short of what I consider "industry standard." I'm not saying everyone has to have a barbacoa pit out back, but at least having a chicken breast or steak option would be nice. I will say, I did appreciate their lunch special, where you can get two choices that included tacos, chimichangas, burritos, etc., and a very well-made tamale (with your choice of sauces - and they allowed me to substitute in their queso sauce). Atmosphere: Adelitas scores well on cleanliness and location. The restaurant is well-located and offers a cozy, family-friendly environment that makes it a great spot for a quick meal. The interior is clean and spacious, with decor that is vibrant and reflective of the restaurant's Mexican theme, creating a lively and enjoyable dining experience. Outdoor seating is also available for those who prefer it. **Overall Experience:** While Adelitas Mexican Restaurant is a decent choice for a quick lunch on this side of town, my overall experience left much to be desired. With so many better options not only in Cedar Rapids but also in the surrounding neighborhoods, I personally won't be heading back to this particular restaurant anytime soon. For those considering a visit, it might be worth a try if you're in the area and need a quick bite. However, be prepared for potential service issues and hidden fees.

Listen, I came here for a chill night and left in a committed relationship with the Nachos Cabo…read more We're registered at Target. These nachos don't come to play. They show up stacked like they've got something to prove -- loaded, cheesy, and so generous with toppings that I started making life decisions halfway through. ("Do I really need to go to work tomorrow? Or do I just stay here and live my best nacho-filled life?") Then came the margarita. Sweet but sassy, with just enough tequila to make me feel like texting my ex, but in a classy way. And the service? Absolutely top-tier. Our server was the kind of person who makes you feel like a regular even if it's your first time there--fast, friendly, and somehow always showing up right when you need a refill. Villas Patio didn't just feed me; they gave me a full-on therapy session via tortilla chips, lime, and excellent hospitality. 10/10 would let them emotionally support me again.
