"Adelita has a massive menu—like the Declaration of Independence massive—and they’re solid at everything they serve. But it’s the tacos that are at the top of our desert island wish list. You get three for $12 (add guacamole for just $1) and come with onions, cilantro, and cactus. Choose between juicy steak (our favorite), smoky pulled chicken, or even something as adventurous as tripe. On the same block as South Philly Barbacoa and Casa Mexico, it gets crowded with people who couldn’t get into those places but still want fresh masa topped with stewed meat.
