Loved the guac and appreciated being allowed to taste it before serving. My enchiladas were outstanding, but my friend’s fish tacos were too spicy. Margaritas we’re just alright; they seemed watered-down. Service was good, although some long pauses in-between.

Very well done and flavorful dishes. We went for breakfast and we really liked it. Portions were just the right amount. Delicious mocktail and they were accommodating with requests.

Don’t be surprised by the name change to Adelitas! The service, ambience, & food quality are superb. Be adventurous & sample their gourmet variety of tacos. I had the Al pastor & fried fish ones and they were excellent. I will be returning to experience the plethora of vegetarian menu options. This restaurant certainly is a gem in Bridgeport neighborhood. Next time I will go earlier and enjoy strolling through the neighborhood. Cheers.

We’ve been here several times and it’s always great! We’ve never had a time where the food taste different or not the same, this place is consistent. It’s is a bit pricey, but the quality is great. The drinks are average, more on the sugary side but not mad. Like you have to have a marg at some point! Service is quick and friendly. It’s a bit loud in there between the music and people, but when it’s almost 70 degrees in March then hey if you can’t beat em, join em.
