Adelita

This restaurant serves fresh, farm-to-table food that truly delivered on flavor. The tacos were a highlight—packed with a variety of delicious, well-balanced flavors. The chips and salsa were fresh and crisp, a perfect starter. The atmosphere was inviting and tastefully designed. Just a heads-up: taco entrées don’t come with sides. Overall, a great dining experience—I’d definitely visit again.

Farm to table we loved the food was delicious and the pain killer drink was so delicious and beautiful. The service was amazing and loved the atmosphere definitely recommend

I am visiting Boston and was not over joyed with the cuisine I had eaten so far because I found it bland. Adelita's was not bland! The pork tacos were delicious. I really enjoyed the mango habanero salsa.

Great food! Best taco I've eaten in years, possibly ever. Lovely service, very attentive and friendly. Only reason I gave 4 stars for atmosphere is because I love real cozy atmospheres. The restaurant is very open with good atmosphere but not as cozy as I personally prefer. That said, absolutely worth the detour!!

This is my first visit, and I must say, the atmosphere is really delightful! The guava margarita, nachos, and chicken quesadillas were delicious, and Juan, who served us, was the friendliest and most attentive waiter I've ever encountered. I will definitely be returning. Juan, I really appreciate your excellent client service.

I ordered to go using their to go service, the food was delicious. We ordered carne asada tacos and elotes. The food was delicious!

Delicious El Pastor tacos. They come small so order extra meat. My vegan wife enjoyed the Veggie Tacos, and Limeade.

I’ve been here several times, but this visit was not the same—and unfortunately, not very good. The three steaks were overcooked, cold, and lacked seasoning. The service was also below average. We mentioned to our server that we were celebrating a birthday, and in our past visits (three or four times), the staff made it fun with a hat and music. That didn’t happen this time. It was disappointing, especially because we really love this restaurant. I’m hoping it was just a one-off experience.

As a transplant from California I'm always looking for a good taqueria or Mexican restaurant. I was raised on burritos. Adelita is probably my favorite of the two dozen or so I've tried in the greater metro west area. I love that the food is grown and raised thoughtfully. That can be hard to find even back home. Everything I've had on many visits has been just right in my book.

Would say they are the best Mexican in this area of acton/concord. They do have a good wait time. I recommend reserving a table than walking in. Few veg options but are good.

Adelita is good, but I think it could be better. I would give it 3.5 stars. The drink selection is great. Drinks are pricy, but in line for other establishments in Concord. The location is pretty good too. I find the service to be decent and the atmosphere to be pretty good. Many locals eat here, and I almost always run into someone I know. The food is the lackluster aspect of the place. What they do serve is good, but the portions are small for the price and the selection is pretty limited. This is one of the only Mexican places I've been to that offers no burrito selections at all. Bandoleros, the other Mexican place in town, has a far more extensive menu with larger servings per dollar that don't sacrifice on flavor. This has helped give me some perspective into what Adelita could improve upon. Some of the food is fantastically delicious (anything pork related here is delicious), while other menu items aren't particularly flavorful Adelita is perhaps a better place to get drinks than it is to get food, with robust drink and appetizer offerings but a smaller and expensive entree selection.

I have been here about six times over the past year. I have mixed reviews. Sometimes, I have gone there and the service is terrible. For example, no one clears empty plates and glasses - just lets them sit for 30 minutes. One or two servers are very friendly! but then other servers are not friendly at all. Other times the service was fine. Does not seem like there is training around good service. Too bad. The food is pretty good.

Adelita is owned by the same individuals as Woods Hill Table located within walking distance. Adelita has Mexican food, while Woods Hill Table is more American food. To start with I got a fresh squeezed lemonade and our table shared a side of queso to go with our chips and salsa. The queso looked like a thing of shredded cheese melted rather than queso that is more liquid. The queso was a little more difficult to eat but was good cheese! They did say their chips were made in a dedicated fryer! For a meal I got the enchiladas with a green sauce and beans/rice. The green sauce was sweeter than I was expecting but still good! The price for 4 came to 109 dollar so it averaged about 25 dollar a person with sharing an appetizer and most of getting a beer/lemonade/tea. There was a parking lot for easy parking! I would recommend making a reservation ahead of time as it was busy on a Wednesday night and we would have been waiting if we didn't have a reservation.

Have been to Adelita many many times. My review is mostly based on the vibe, as I think the previous reviews here capture the quality of the food and who it might appeal to sufficiently enough. I live locally and would love this place to be somewhere I'd frequent after work for drinks/dinner. It's not a place I'd bring a crowd to (too loud), so I tend to sit at the bar with my partner or on my own on the early side of their opening hours. Their margaritas are the absolute best, and the service is quick. The bar staff are attentive, but even if you're there on the early side, it gets busy quick and it's clear that the turn around is the driver for that fast service. If you like that, this is a great place. I've never waited long for anything. But it lacks any kind of friendly, slow vibe - you can't begin to try to start a conversation with the bar staff. So even though I prefer the quality of the food/drinks here, I lean towards going elsewhere for a more personal experience. It's becoming more of a take out place for me.

The dishes are moderate size. Drinks delish. Bartender friendly. Decor fun. Well ventilated. Chips yummy. Thanks D Patnod Lic Ac Cambridge

The food is delicious, the staff is lovely and the margaritas are awesome. The ambience is great, cool and inviting with great lighting fixtures throughout. I look forward to going back soon. Highly recommend the chile rellenos and the Mexican street corn, both were fantastic and the guacamole is so good!!

Love the farm-to-table wholesomeness, didn't find the menu inspired, weakest margs this side of the Mason-Dixon.

Regular customer, we are there at least two times every month, often more. Great food and great service from the waiter as usual. However on this particular visit the manager was rude and unhelpful.

We just got our order cancelled for "annoying" them about whether the food contains nuts. Sorry we have a severe life-threatening allergy in the house and you don't list ingredients nor leave a place for comments when getting take out. We will never be eating at your restaurant in the future. Your management is cocky, rude, and very unprofessional. In this economy not wise.

An upscale Mexican restaurant in my hometown that has organic, high quality food if you're willing to deal with kind of high prices compared to other places you might find. The food is excellent and I guess worth it in my opinion, and this is West Concord after all. I believe this might be the only option for Mexican food in the whole town that I'm aware of, though I hope that isn't the case since Concord is not a small place. If you're here and want great Mexican food, this is the place to go! Very nice atmosphere, dimly lit I remember, and good service too.

This is my second time coming here and it was just as enjoyable as the first!!! Hud was our waiter and he is such a gem!!!! 10/10 energy and vibes. So funny and kind and attentive. He reccd some food that we didn't end up liking and was super apologetic and took it off our bill without us asking. If you want a place with amazing food and service, come here!!!!!

I placed a door dash delivery order online. I then called to discuss a nut allergy. The gentleman hung up. I called back to discuss the allergy and I then got a message that my order was cancelled. My wife called back to reinstate the order and same gentleman called her stupid. That "gentleman" should be fired and seek non- service related employment.

"I think you should go to Adelitas. One reason is that the drinks are great. For example there is this drink called horchata and it is so so good. Another reason is that there food is so so so good. Like there is this kid taco is a plain chicken taco and l get it every time. There is also great seating, the inside in the winter and inside and outside in all the other seasons. ( remember not winter for outside seating ) That is why I think you should go to Adelitas. Lara age 8"

What a great find! I ordered the shrimp tacos. They were so good and the shrimp was large.

Great food as always there are always quick with there food and very friendly great stuff and everything is just really good

Its right around the corner from work and I stopped by for lunch today. My "go to" order in any Mexican restaurant the first time I try it, is tacos. If the tacos are spot on, I'll be back. I had the tacos al pastor today, three little tacos on a blue plate. Here is what worked: the al pastor filling was good. Here is what did not work: the tortillas (not made on site - they order them in a box from Cambridge MA) were raw. Each taco was served on a single, undercooked/uncooked corn tortilla that was gummy (hello! uncooked) and fell apart. A Mexican restaurant that serves uncooked tortillas is as bad as an Italian restaurant that serves mushy pasta. Here is how Adelita can do better: have the tortillas made in house OR make sure they are fully cooked. They should be very lightly charred with a few small blisters. Serve the tacos with two tortillas each to catch the sauce and stand up to the filling. Here is how Adelita can shine! Offer mix and match taco orders. If you really want excellent tacos, try El Huipil just 10 min down the road from Adelita's in Maynard Center, less than 4 miles away. Hand made tacos, freshly cooked, doubled up to enfold absolutely perfect filling with traditional toppings.

Lovely interior, excellent staff, and great food. I always get takeout from here and I'm always very happy. A bit pricey but in my opinion a great treat once in a while.

Ate at the bar. Service was good but the food was very average and expensive for what we ordered. I ordered the chicken tacos and had a very hard time finding any chicken in them. It was also extra to have rice and beans with an entree. Will not be rushing back. Margaritas were good but expensive. It's Concord, so...

The menu looked very enticing, but the actual experience was disappointing. Like so many newish American restaurants, there is little baffling on the walls, and the restaurant is very noisy. Also, it is depressingly dark and ill-lit. The food, with one major exeption was OK, but very bland for anyone who has had Mexican food in Mexico. The exception was the steak in the plato de carne asado. For a restaurant that advertises its pride in 'farm to market' grass-fed beef, it was VERY disappointing to find that nearly half of the steak was gristle and inedible, and the rest wasn't very tender either. I hope the resaurant corrects this. Alas, we probably wont be back to find out any time soon.

Is this place completely disorganized? Planning a dinner, they told us they don't take reservations. But if we come early it shouldn't be a problem. Ok. We arrived with two ravenous kids to a patio of mostly empty tables. The hostess told us something about not wanting to make it too full and us having to wait 10 minutes. Ok, no big deal. 40 minutes later when she came out, she wanted us to keep waiting. I pointed to the empty tables, but the hostess said they don't use the picnic tables. I pointed to the two families happily munching away at picnic tables. Oh they had reservations, she replied. The reservations I was told were impossible. Needless to say I won't ever be back.

We have never dined in at this restaurant but had several takeouts from it. Every time we would try various tacos. So far we had tacos cochinitas (ok), tacos chorizo (ok), tacos carne asada (good), and tacos camarones (excellent, definitely our favors).

SO SO expensive. It's rice and tortillas... not sure why it's $19 for a quesadilla with no sides!! The food isn't authentic- not that I'd expect it to be in west concord but another thing to consider but it's tasty. So get 3 stars for that and the ambiance. It's a nice place inside. But I'm not sure I'll be coming back. They don't compare to El Huipil in Maynard.

Visited this place recently and was happy with their carnitas tacos. This is my go-to meal at Mexican restaurants so I have a good base to compare them too. The place was packed on a Wednesday night so it seems to have a good following. On the con side, I felt their cocktails were not up par with other places with similar clientele. I found them to be in sugary side and even when I asked to cut back on the sweet ingredients for my second order, it still was too much. Alcohol content also seemed low (but that is just a personal impression). Overall, I think just an OK place to visit if you are in the neighborhood but for an out-of-towner like myself, I likely won't make the return trip.

So I really wanted to like this place given all the hype. So first the good. We ordered two chopped salads - one with shrimp and the other with chicken. The shrimp was plentiful and flavorful, and the additions like roasted corn really tasty. Unfortunately, that's it. First, the salad dressing came in a small container. Totally inadequate. Second, all the " good stuff " like onions and corn - were scrimped on. Third, the chicken was over cooked and lacked flavor. And finally the price. $ 35 dollars for two salads... please! Even in Covid times this is hard to justify. So my first impression isn't great. I can't recommend this place.

Incredible food, awesome drinks. Their takeout experience has improved dramatically since the beginning of the pandemic, and they are EXCELLENT with kids.

Came tonight for dinner and drinks with some girlfriends. We enjoyed a variety of fruity margaritas - passion fruit, smoky pineapple, and a house Adelita. Guacamole and salsa were ok. Taco options were plentiful. I enjoyed the shrimp on homemade flour tortillas. Don't skip the smoky sauce that they bring in bottles to the table! We shared the flan for dessert and it was the highlight of our meal - rich and creamy and flecked with vanilla beans. So good! Service was friendly and professional. My only criticism- it was a little too loud in there, even on a Tuesday, which made conversation challenging.

I had an excellent time at Adelita. It was one of my first restaurant outings since the pandemic started and it did not disappoint. From start to finish, the service was excellent; the host was very accommodating to my party even though we did not have a reservation and we did not wait long for a table. My server Colleen was very friendly and patient (with a group of five, it took time for us to decide on what to eat). Chicken enchiladas, refried beans, tacos al pastor, even the chopped salad- absolutely delicious and very reasonably portioned. A great spot for a group meal; prices were not unreasonable and they had a decent selection of drinks.

Been coming here for a few years here and there. Always some really delicious, solid mexican fare. Lived in LA for several years, and these guys have some real spice and good ingredients similar to street tacos out west (obviously on a higher level). Cocktails are also good! Only downside is their prices are a little high for typical Mexican, but it is Concord, and portions are fair.

Lovely Bartender who made a great spicy Margarita. Nice chips and dip~j Got the "Stew" to go, it was like soup with little stewed meat. Tasty as I love salt but even for me a bit much. I think things may have been missing. It came with a small of rice with a few tortillas strips, I think It was to come with Mexican cheese or a cream. The guacamole was Ok a bit over blended . I would likely go back for the Margarita but sadly.. As it was part of the Woodshill Table group I had expected exceptional.

I love this restaurant "group", spearheaded by a visionary and committed owner. Kristin Canty is committed to local sources as much as possible, sustainable, organic products. The first time I came. I was so disappointed in the lack of "Hispanic" color. The waiter was pushing bad Spanish and not a lot of knowledge of the menu. Fast forward now, and the menu is down pat, DELICIOUS fish tacos, DELICIOUS swordfish belly tacos, perfect churros. Much better service AND we saw Kristin on our way out. Food is delicious, and Margaritas are legit. Definitely coming back for lunch to catch a glimpse of our beloved "Bob" from WHT next door!

The food is really good here. However I just want to warn people not to get a to go drink here. My margarita filled less than half of a glass with 10 ice cubes in it.

Oh, YUM. This is the best Mexican food we've had since we lived in San Diego. Everything is fresh and delicious and I'm always willing to pay more for farm-to-table. Definitely recommended!

Great food and quick when you eat at the restaurant! Just wouldn't recommend take out. We ordered it a 5pm on a Friday and expected a two hour wait but it wasn't even ready for another 20 minutes past those two hours. It's a small restaurant in concord so they aren't that busy.

The drinks, food, ambiance and outdoor seating make this gem a must-go when you're in metro west. Though a little pricey in some categories two people with two rounds of premium drinks and dinners gets you in the $100-$120 category AFTER tip (so, all in). Not too bad! Flavors popped! Music was great (a tad loud, but not crazy) and the service was good. I'm would knock off a star for service, but between COVID and a bit of a dining-in and take/out crowd crush I think it was a fluke.

Used to be good. Says on line they are open until 9. I arrived at 8:15 and they said they closed early because it was "slow". I drove 20 mins each way. No wonder it is slow with service like this. Manager said "sorry" can't be bothered changing the schedule on line. I can't be bothered by going back!

I was here about 1.5years ago and remember leaving unimpressed! Mexican is one of my favorite cuisines, and finding it around here can be nearly impossible. The atmosphere here in incredible and the drinks were great, but I'm here to talk about the food... I came here for dinner and drinks with a friend, I remember talking to her in the parking lot about how the salsa lacked salt and flavor, it just tasted like chopped up tomatoes with a dusting of other stuff and maybe onions. I recall her sending back a dish because of all the onions, unfortunately it being that long ago I don't remember which dish it was.... Well, fast forward to 2021. My husband surprised us with takeout appetizers and sides from Adelita. He ordered the Nachos with tinga, kids quesadillas, rice and beans, chip and salsa, and lastly corn tortillas (usually my favorite). Let's start with the nachos. First, the were soggy but I'm contributing that to the fact that it was takeout. Normally I LOVE nachos, but I just couldn't get myself to enjoy them. The tinga lacked flavor and salt, felt like just chicken stewed in tomato and onions which to some can be exciting, but I assure you it's was lacking character, flavor and texture. Kids quesadillas were fine, you can't really mess those up! Rice and beans were fine, but not memorable. The salsa remained the same as I described above, just tasted like chopped up tomatoes with a dusting of other stuff. Needed lime juice, salt and life! Chips were good! Though the tortillas were homemade, for me they were too thick. Which when they are too thick, the masa doesn't properly cook/steam from within when in the griddle. I want to love this restaurant, but I don't and makes me sad because there are not that many around.

I probably should branch out beyond the fish tacos - but it is my go-to. Always delicious here. Adelita will probably be one of the first places I return for dinning in. Beer is always cold; cocktails are creative and reasonably priced. Chips and Guacamole Soft Tacos Fish Tacos

Nice atmosphere, great staff, location is okay although the outside dining is basically in the parking lot or alongside the back road so if you like exhaust with your food, definitely take one of their outside tables. The food was nice, but definitely not authentic Mexican. More of an imitation Mexican. I thought the prices to be high for the quality of food. It was also a bit loud for my taste--I think some places do that so that you'll be annoyed and leave within a short-ish period of time, thus making room for others. i.e., the restaurant can serve move people and make more money. Anyway, if you want authentic Mexican food, this is not the place. If you want an average type restaurant, you might enjoy it. Seems to be popular enough that you'll need reservations on the weekend. Also, lunch is only served on Thursdays and Fridays, and dinner every day but Mondays. So if you want a burrito on Monday - Wednesday, you need to find another place!

If I could give zero stars, I would. We went on a Tuesday night and let's just say the restaurant was quite empty. We walked in and asked for a booth, and when seated by a manager, we were seated at a WET table that was not completely cleaned off and showed signs of the previous guest's glass. The floor was dangerously slippery and one of my guests almost slipped when sitting down. The chips were warm except the salsa dish was placed directly in the middle of all of the chips. Our server never introduced herself and mumbled through her opening introduction to the restaurant. She immediately stated that it was Taco Tuesday but was sure that we were not interested in the pitcher of Margaritas. My date and I ordered the Enchiladas and Mango soda, and let's just say that the value did not meet the meal. First of all, each dish cost $19. Secondly, I asked for light cheese and that was substituted with an extreme amount of extra sauce. I'm not sure if this was an attempt to cover up the dry chicken or the microwaved textured flowered tortillas that were almost impossible to saw through. When our server returned to our table to offer us dessert, she made it seem like there were several offerings only to discover that there was one, which she again mumbled through. Now let's discuss the follow up effects. Both my date and I, only 20 minutes after the meal, started noticing signs of food poisoning. I am currently on my 2nd day of suffering from what appears to be food poisoning, and I will never return again.

Drinks were good. Service was excellent. They offer lettuce wraps as an alternative to corn tortillas. The carne asada tasted like Salisbury steak. I felt like I was back in the 90s eating a tv dinner. We tried two pork tacos. The pork adobo with pineapple was nice lovely balance of flavors. Overall I was underwhelmed, it was average. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone unless they were in the area and wanted tacos.

Mojito- on point, freshly made and awesome Tacos al Pastor and bistec tacos- awesome, well prepared and fresh ingredients. No store bought tortillas here. Retired beans-deliscious and fresh made, nothing resembling what you get at most restaurants Service was awesome

My first time here yesterday... I arrived before my friend and told the hostess a table for 2. She seemed hesitant, and told me that it is fully booked with reservations. Then she had to check with someone who appeared to be the manager, and he suggested the bar, which was fine with me. ... Only that unless the high tables were part of the bar or 1/3 of the people who made reservations cancelled last minute, they looked pretty empty until we left around 9. (I arrived at 6:30). Were they trying to save the seats for large groups? Except for this weirdness, I enjoyed the jalapeño margarita and the tacos, and the bartender (male one) was friendly. I also like how they use a lot of organic ingredients.

Food: Three stars at best. Service: Zero. Our waiter, being generous with that word, clearly has no clue to what "service" is.

On vacation with my family in Boston, we decided to take a small trip over to Concord. Since none of us were dressed super nicely, and I was kinda craving Mexican, we decided to try out Adelita. Food was great all around. 9/10 overall. -Got started with chips and salsa. Salsa was pretty straightforward, but tasted very freshly made and was quite good. As someone who is very particular about how they like a tortilla chip, I loved this places because they were crisp, firm, and didn't have a metric ton of sodium poured all over them. -Mom ordered a limeade which she seemed to enjoy, I had a horchata for the first time in years and it was delicious with just the right level of sweetness. -I got Al pastor tacos, as they were the tacos recommended to me by our server, Jacob. I don't normally love al pastor, but these were some of the better ones I'd had. 9/10. -Mom got the chicken enchiladas. She said that the enchiladas were a 10/10. She really enjoyed the chicken. Said that the salsa verde on top helped out a lot. -Dad got the tacos espada, which yet again get a 9/10. He said that all of the various pieces of the taco meshed really well, but there was a little too much lettuce on it. -I also got a side a refried beans which I do not particularly recommend doing. Not that they were bad, but they weren't anything special and they give you wayyyyy too many for a side portion (which I guess is pretty good problem to have). Service was great! Probably the highlight of the meal. We got seated immediately, jacob was over after 1-2 minutes, and he was very helpful in informing us all about the restaurant and menu. Our food came out very quickly after we ordered it, but we still weren't being rushed by any means. There was a mixup that got the espada tacos sent out to another table but my dad ended up getting his order only a few minutes later after receiving an unprompted apology from multiple members of the staff. Even better, they took the tacos off the bill due to the mixup! All in all, great casual dining experience, good job Adelita!

Great food and service but the corrugated metal ceiling reflects noise and it's hard to have a conversation.

After a year with no sit down restaurants, we chose Adelita for our first mask-free outing! Adelita is thriving, with outdoor seating and a strong menu with my favorite: Chile rellenos! BIG poblano pepper, cooked to perfection, prompt and delicious. Our hostess Kate and our waitress Camryn were simply wonderful, so friendly and helpful. I give Adelita five big stars.

My mother and I very much enjoyed our meal this evening at Adelita, and we would certainly recommend it to anyone looking for a tasty dinner to linger over, but there's a few things that I think bear mentioning here. First and foremost, while the entry display is lovely, there is a giant post that blocks the view to most of the dining room, which is only a problem because there is also no hostess stand and no hostess, so if you happen to walk in and no one hears you, you're left standing in the doorway waiting for someone to see you and seat you. This happened to my mother and me and it took close to five minutes to be noticed and seated. Once we sat and looked around, we noticed the mariachi decor and well appointed themed dining room. It was comfortable and welcoming and we both remarked on how long people lingered to chat over the food, which is almost always a good sign. The waitress was attentive until we ordered and then we never saw her again until she delivered the bill to the table. They did seem under staffed, which isn't surprising for a rainy Monday night, but it was a little jarring to have a totally different waiter ask if he could take our cash and bill and then promptly took it smiling from ear to ear. It was enough for my mother to watch him to make sure he wasn't pocketing the cash tip, but that may be more of a remark on my mom's nerves than anything else! And the food was delicious, really tasty, but I am going to have to call out the "white suburban mom" spicy labels. If you're going to label a dish spicy, make it spicy. I ordered a jalapeño thing with cheese and pico de gallo and while it was good, it wasn't even the least bit spicy. It was like eating bell peppers. That being said, the food really was delicious and I appreciated the attempts at more than one gluten free or dairy free offerings. While I am neither of those things, it's always the mark of a place that's up to date on food trends and cares enough to accommodate as many patrons as possible. Despite the couple of negative, but fixable, points I enjoyed the evening and would come back with pleasure.
