    Small hidden place but a great find. I got the Barbie bowl and the pork and pineapple blend was amazing. It was super flavorful and fresh. The only drawback was the price. It wasn't a huge portion and they charged a 16% service fee for counter service so it was quite expensive for a smaller portion.

    San Juan burrito
    Maria B.

    The flavor of the pork in the San Juan is spot on. I really enjoyed the taste. The portions were unbalanced - too much rice, not enough beans, and a sad serving of meat. The sweet plantains were good, I even ordered a side of it. I ordered the bowl and burrito versions. It did not hit the mark for the price point. Service was quick and friendly. The playlist is eclectic.

    Automatic 15% tip on all orders. This is a small restaurant with only a handful of tables, maybe enough room for 10 people. Portions were way too unbalanced for my liking. It said it came with tomatoes, but I got only 3 diced tomatoes on top which is a joke. Not enough chimichurri and way too much rice. Just wasn't impressed with it. I finished everything else in the bowl and still had a bunch of white rice. It is quality food but if I am paying $20 for a bowl it better give good portions and flavor. I wish I would have just went to Chipotle or Qdoba.

    Shoutout to any place that can handle 9 girls rolling in at 3pm with a smile! Not only were these guys super funny and helpful, but their dishes were delicious. We probably spent longer deciding what to get than we did actually eating, everything just sounded so good. And it was! There isn't much room to dine inside so heads up there, but I can definitely see myself stopping by and picking up lunch or dinner here on a regular basis. Go see for yourself!

    Fluffatellanananutter

    Food here is so inventive and delicious! The plantains are cooked so perfectly and I loved the flavors in my risi beastie bowl. I couldn't help but order the fluffatellanananutter (because that name haha) and it was decadent!! It was a frozen banana covered in Nutella and marshmallow fluff, all encased in a deep fried casing. Delish. They also just started serving beer and cocktails, and feature a happy hour weekdays 2-5pm! The staff (owners??) were really friendly and kind. Decor was fun and trendy. The space was small though so it lends itself more to take out unfortunately. Definitely plan to come back!

    Chicken bowl
    Darika S.

    I really like my chicken bowl from here! I got it as a bowl and it had rice, black beans, bell peppers, sour cream and a pico. The chicken was marinated and was really tender. He got the pork one as a burrito and it is huge! It was slow cooked pulled pork with plantains, rice, and beans. We just needed to add some hot sauce. Their cucumber mint aqua Fresca was good too!

    I don't have a ton to say here, but I will start by appreciating how apt the name "Food Concepts" is here - the menu is really baffling. The burritos are not served build-your-own (Chipotle) style. Rather, they are chosen from a curated menu, which seems to have been assembled by spinning a large ingredient wheel and combining the random selections. This is not what I ordered, but there is a burrito that includes: chicken, bacon, peas, mushrooms, and risotto - huh? A majority of the other menu combinations are .. equally as random! Remarkably, the menu item I did order (Bombay) has not a single overlap in ingredients. The menu is made up of 16 combinations of 57(!!!) unique ingredients. That is insane, impossible to scale, and makes me feel like I have now been part of a clandestine Harvard experiment that will conclude in six months. Anyways, a lede I'm burying down here is that, at least in the case of the burrito I ordered, Toro Food Concepts will deep fry the fully assembled burrito in its tortilla. This detail is unmentioned on the menu! I think this means their burritos are chimichangas? I'm not sure on that. The taste of my deep-fried burrito, which was made with cauliflower rice for some reason, was almost exactly that of a donut. This was reinforced by the fact that the included mango chutney is very sweet. Imagine eating a glazed donut filled with cauliflower rice; now, try to imagine a reason you would ever want to do that. I get the sense that I have just beta-tested a restaurant. There were things to like here - all of the ingredients I tried were well-seasoned and prepared nicely. I suspect a normal, drastically simplified, and not-deep-fried burrito from here would be very tasty, but also not a Food Concept. All of the burritos can be turned into a bowl or salad, which I don't think can be deep-fried, so that's an option. The prices are also all reasonable, especially for the sides where the portions are very large. The environment and service was pleasant and fine. That said, at this point, I cannot recommend these Food Concepts. I would be willing to revisit this opinion after Harvard has gathered all of the data it needs from this experiment.

    San Juan dish
    Bart R.

    Food was fresh and delicious. Made to order. Had an empanada which was very hot and tasty. Also had a roasted pork dish with rice and plantains that were out of this world. Watermelon Fresca was refreshing too. Place is small and cute and clean.

    Barbie Bowl

    The food is delicious! I had the Barbie bowl and have zero complaints. Best pork rice bowl around. The Tears of the Bull drink is also a must.

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!

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.

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.

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.
