I was surprised (in a good way) that a fork, knife and spoon was automatically provided. Most restaurants only place a fork and knife on the table and I always have to request a spoon with my meal. This tissi had beautifully charred skin and tender, white meat. It was love at first bite. The chunk meat is fairly large and it will make a great leftover meal for the next day. As a bonus, a tall pitcher of complimentary chilled water is provided. This location only accepts cash, so please plan accordingly. As I was leaving, I unintentionally left a personal belonging on the restaurant table. My server stepped outside the restaurant and brought me my item. This is one of my better dining experiences from start to finish; the chef and servers clearly go above and beyond. #casaadela #halfrotisseriechicken

It was a fried mashed potatoe ball with some ground beef inside, pretty bland. My next favorite was the blood sausage, it was a little dry and very mildly seasoned.

The colorful décor, music, and overall ambiance create a warm and inviting experience. The food was delicious. Every dish was full of flavor, and you can tell everything was made with care.

Well return I did, last week, and I was not pleased with the waiter, the lack of true Puerto Rican courtesy and the food servings. The host/waiter did not greet us with a smile or an "hola, bienvenido". He was very robotic and seemed annoyed when we wanted to order appetizers and asked if he could come back to take our main order. He stated, and not kindly, that he wanted to take the whole order at once. I can go on and on with how this man did not represent what the restaurant claims to represent which is Puerto Rican culture. On to the food. We asked and ordered the "special". What a disappointment- Bacalao that cost $22.00 and belonged in the kids meal section. Suffice it to say that I did not feel that Puerto Rican vibe of warmth and "bienvenido a nuestro hogar" and will not be returning.

I think I'm ready to put somebody on payroll just so they can fetch this for me on a regular basis since I'm out of range on all delivery apps.
