Adelita's Taquería, Restaurant & Bar

Really good service they have a bar also so good amount of drinks. I had two tacos with plate. And salsa and chips. The salsa and chips were really good. Tacos were OK. I had grilled chicken tacos. Might try other items next time. Ambience is really good.

We took a seat in the restaurant and our waiter Joseph immediately approached us with menus and water. A couple minutes later he came back with chips and an assortment of salsa. He was polite and attentive, two things you want when dining out. We ordered drinks first and they were impressive, one of them that stood out was the Chavela Camaron, please see picture, it came with the largest shrimp I have ever seen on a cocktail. The food arrived and I enjoyed the Camarones a la diabla. If you like spicy food, this is a dish you have to try. It had me sweating just three bites into my meal.

The fish play, it's very good cevich, tostada. That's a good and the specials for the dreams. Ron chata delicious. good thank you for your good customer service

We recently visited this restaurant for the first time, and it exceeded our expectations. The layout is beautifully atmospheric and exudes warmth. The restaurant's patio is a standout feature, offering the perfect setting for a leisurely afternoon cocktail. The food is absolutely delicious, with authentic flavors in every bite. The servers are exceptionally friendly, and the prices are quite reasonable. We will definitely be returning!

We had a great time, and this is the best Mexican place we’ve been to here. Wife and I came for a date on a Saturday. The margaritas were easily the best margs we’ve had in the area since coming here a year ago. The food was 5 star for the price. It had a great local feel to it, it’s not a chain, this is a real family owned style Mexican restaurant. We’ll be back. 100%

Decided to try this place out with a friend and wasn't disappointed. Between the two of us, we put down 3 entrees, a plate of chips and dip, and 4 mixed drinks for just under $100. The food was good quality, especially the quesabirria tacos, the drinks were good enough that I'd come back for those alone, and the service was very good. If you are on the fence about this place, I would definitely give it a shot.

This place is fantastic! I love everything about it especially the vegan menu.

Some folks who went to SJSU said this place was good. It did not disappoint. Bought the breakfast torta and it smacked. Got one to go too.

I've said that the best thing to come out of Covid was finding Adelita's and it is so true. Food has always been great and variety means everyone finds their favorite. Their bar far exceeds expectations and in my opinion they have best Margarita; even their house Margarita is better than most specialty versions. But what really makes Adelita's stand out is their people; particularly their bartenders Robert and James. Both are excellent at experimenting to create cocktails to amaze and satisfy; try their Hibiscus Margarita made with fresh Hibiscus juice. It has become my recovery drink of choice on a Sunday evening after a morning bike ride to Santa Cruz and back followed by an afternoon of yard work.

Delicious food for the whole family. Loved the quesabirria and the tortilla soup. Thank you Dana for your friendly service!

Vegan menu is awesome. The vegan burrito was piping hot and full of flavor. Isamael did a fantastic job of taking care of us. This is my go to Mexican restaurant.

Great spot for friendly service, delicious food, and great cocktails. Paired chicken sopes (yum) with a HennChata. Had a nice birthday song (surprise!) with a nice big flan. 100% will return and already told 10 people about it!! Thank you!

Came here on a Sunday night and had a great experience for the whole family - until the next morning arrived. The food didn't sit well with multiple people in our family's stomachs and we definitely dealt with that the next day if you know what I mean :/ Giving a few stars for these other qualities that were good: Our waitress Dana was super attentive, helpful and friendly. There's a good assortment of food options here. The place is pretty spacious and clean, and would be able to accommodate larger or small parties.

Visiting this area and needed some vegan food. Adelita's popped up and off we went. We were there for an early dinner and it was pretty full inside. We opted to sit outside and enjoy the nice weather. There was a steady stream of cars coming and going for to-go/pick-up orders. They have separate vegan menu with a LOT of vegan options. I always like to order a side of rice and beans when I can and was pleased that both were vegan. I went with the pinto beans, but black beans are the other option. I also ordered the Plantain Burrito. Oh my goodness. The plantain added just a touch of sweetness and it was a new-to-me & interesting choice for a filling. Black beans, chunks of avocado!!, and their salsas! All of the employees were helpful and friendly. I forgot to take pics.

They have gluten free chilaquiles! (at least it's what we overheard from the table behind us) To start we had a cantaloupe agua Fresca and the chips, salsa and guac. The chips were warm and the salsas accompanying the chips were molcajete and pico de gallo. I had two Super Fish Tacos for my entree but the fish was way bigger than I expected and I only finished one taco! My partner had the shrimp burrito and a quesadilla. He enjoyed the quesadilla and mentioned that he liked that it wasn't as greasy as other places. Still a little oily but expected for a quesadilla. For the shrimp burrito, the shrimp was plump. Good balance of beans and pico.

GREAT service and fantastic food and drinks. My husband and I usually sit at the bar but we also enjoy sitting outside with family. Definitely recommend!

I really enjoy stopping by this place for a quick bite and a nice refreshing drink, the staff are super friendly and quick. parking isn't the best situation as its limited due to its location so you may have to park on the street. Their chips and salsa is 10/10 and my go to is a super burrito with chicken. food portions are good as well. def check out this place if you want authentic Mexican flavor.

I met a friend here, she really enjoys this place . We sat in the bar area . She had ordered Chips salsa and guacamole. Very good . She ordered a Chavela . It wasn't complete full. I thought odd. I ordred a Michelada . It was good . We visited for quite awhile . We were checked on but, never pressed to order . Which was nice . Very nice wait staff. I ordered a Carnitas plate. Carnitas were perfect , beans and rice ok. My friend ordered the Chicken Fajitas. I had a bite, very tasty. The reason I took a star off was - the menu had no pricing on it . I'm not a fan of not knowing what prices are. All in all Good Food . Parking was a bit of an issue ( late afternoon ) I finally found a spot without any restrictions.

Robert was amazing! The food and service was beyond expected! Sooooo yummy! Thank you for the birthday celebration! Definitely will be coming back!

Burritos here are always delightful. They have loads of meat based and veggie options. The sauces on the side are a must try. You can also get cocktails, mainly I've tried the margaritas, which are very nice. Dessert is also great - try the churros! When you dine in, the service can be a bit slow, so keep that in mind if you're coming in super hungry. You could probably order chips to tide yourself over until the mains arrive. The ambience is cute inside the restaurant, the walls are covered with different photos, posters, art, decor depicting different aspects of Mexican culture. It is very beautiful. The prices here are great! Very much worth the wait and the quality of fresh ingredients! Definitely check this place out!

Was craving a burrito and this spot seemed promising based on yelp. TLDR; pretty underwhelming and wouldn't come again. Service was pretty mediocre. It took about 5-10 minutes for us to be told where to sit. Upon sitting down, the previous check was still on the table and there wasn't a menu so we waited for someone to handle that. After receiving the menu, we were ready to order but nobody came by and we couldn't find anyone to flag down for the next 15 minutes. Food: I had a carne asada super burrito with rice, no pico de gallo. Size was pretty standard. The burrito was unfortunately really dry. I asked if there was any sauce available and was offered some spicy red sauce (not really sure what it was, but it was decent), and that helped. The most disappointing part of the burrito was the tortilla; not sure how to describe it, but the texture was kinda soggy and rubbery, kind of like play dough. Vibes were good though, interior was decorated well and it felt like a very cute place to come with families.

Adelitas was introduced to me about 2011 it has been a solid spot in the San Jose Mexican food scene longer than that. You got the classic ambience, the classic booths, the classic bar in the back and also near the bathrooms They even have $.25 90s game machine machines and also sticker machines. Food: It had been a few years since I've been there and then I went in the pandemic with my girlfriend when mass were required approximately around 2022 right before the lift and it was such a good experience. The one thing that really knocked it out the park for me was the service, the quality of the food and the *Vegan Flautas plate* , just look at the picture, it's next level! Sadly, the 711 next door just closed (12/2024) as we used to get a pre-game drink There or some candy if the line got really long bc Adelitas was packed, however, go support this local spot!

Amazing place ! The food is amazing and the ambience is great! It does get busy during happy hour so be mindful if you are coming with a big party. The food is great and so is the service. I come to the bar weekly and Robert and Jaime ALWAYS! Take care of me. They engage with the bar folks and sometimes they make you something custom depending on the day/ traffic. I recommend to try this place ! By the way, BEST margaritas in town!

I have visited this restaurant several times and I try to pick a different dish every visit. I have Not been disappointed at all. The food is delicious, the staff is friendly, the decor is great. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Great food. Terrible service. We were a group of 4 adults and 4 kids. After about 30 minutes our server appeared and told us the kitchen was backed up and food was delayed. One of our entrees was delivered shortly there after. Another 30 minutes went by and still no food and no sign of our server. I had to get up and ask the counter to check on our order. 15 more minutes and our server told us our food was delivered to another table. Weird they ordered the exact same items as us. This used to be a go to spot for Mexican food, but after a this experience we won't be coming back. This isn't the first time we've experienced this here. Waiting for over an hour is unacceptable. We won't be coming back.

Can't go wrong with this restaurant, the service, tasty of its food and a menu so complete. I am a regular customer and always amazed by their friendly and professional staff - shout out to Robert! Cozy and warming atmosphere

Delicious Mexican food with an unparalleled range of vegan options! As a Bay Area native now living on the east coast, I returned to San Jose craving good Mexican food. However, this was my first trip back to the area since turning vegan. Back in the '90s-'00s, it was hard enough just to find beans that didn't have lard in them. I set off on research for Mexican restaurants that had typical food for my non-vegan friends as well as vegan options for myself, and Adelita's rose quickly to the top of my list. My friends and I loved the vegan and non-vegan food so much that we visited twice in one weekend! The first time, I got the vegan tamale plate that came with two veggie tamales (filled with a mix of carrots, corn, and lima beans), tomatillo sauce, black beans, Mexican rice, and avocado. I loved this dish. I asked for hot sauce and they brought three types: green, red, and orange. Unfortunately the spicy orange one (habanero I think) is made with mayonnaise, so avoid that one if you are vegan. On my second visit, I got the vegan burrito which comes on a whole wheat tortilla (love that!) filled with mushroom fajitas, black beans, brown rice(!!), salsa fresca, avocado. Delicious. I added liberal amounts of the red and green hot sauces as well as the house salsa. Things I didn't have the chance to try and want to try next time are the homemade corn tortillas and the enchiladas. My non-vegan friends really enjoyed the breaded fried fish, the torta, and the ceviche. Adelita's, thank you for being so delicious and so inclusive and giving my friends and I the best time possible!

If I could rate the service a zero, I would. We've been to this restaurant many times, but this was by far the worst experience we've ever had. After being seated, our server didn't check on us for over 40 minutes. An hour later, we finally received our food. When we asked to speak with a manager, it took over 20 minutes for her to come to our table. To make things worse, the server told us our food had been given to another table, but the manager claimed only one item had been entered into the system due to a "new system." So which was it? Either way, there was clearly a breakdown in communication and accountability. After all that, we had to wait another 20 minutes just to get our check--only to find they had the nerve to apply just a 25% discount and still include a 20% tip automatically. All we wanted at that point was to leave. My party and I will not be coming back. We've spent a lot of money here over the years, but this experience was unacceptable. At the very least, be honest, check in on your customers, and get your stories straight. Never again. We really tried to be courteous, but this was beyond disappointing.

Food is always amazing and on point. The campechana is my go to, their tacos de lengua are fire and I accompany it with a refreshing agua mineral preparada. Dana was our server, she was super sweet, quick and attentive. Will definitely always come back.

The service is excellent. We were seated immediately, and brought chips and salsas with guacamole right away. You can order online at the counter or the waiter will take your order too (which we did). The food was delicious and the portions were great. it's very authentic food and atmosphere. And a great menu with options for everyone. Terry and Jill

Stopped by for takeout during lunch. Their lunch specials can't be beat for both quantity and price. I came on Wednesday which was the regular burrito (I got chicken), chips/salsa, and a small cup of their chicken tortilla soup. I was pleasantly surprised by the soup. It has so much flavor. The burrito was nothing special but nonetheless good and satisfying. The salsa (green and red) and the salsa fresca were very good as well. Can't wait to come back and try something else.

Our recent table service experience at Adelita's was terrible. We were brought menus without any pricing, and were referred to a QR code to scan if we wanted current pricing. When scanned, the code came up with a broken link, thus no prices. We asked for an indicator of pricing, and were begrudgingly brought a laminated sheet with prices in seemingly random order. We ordered margaritas and they were brought out well after we were half finished with our meals. The sweet and sour mix used is very acidic and the tequila in the supposed Cadillac margarita was of poor quality. Not once did someone check on us throughout the meal, and we had to go to the front to ask for our check after waiting 20+ minutes for someone (anyone!) to come by to ask for the check and to have our plates cleared. Dining in here is now out for us, takeout only if we decide to go back.

The restaurant was pretty big the only downside is limited parking. The bartender and server were very nice, i received chips and salsa while i waited. But I didn't have to wait long for my food to arrive. The portions were HUGE! And it was delicious

Everything from delicious food, great chips and salsa, yummy aguas frescas always served with a smile. Nice familial place. Adelita's is one of our favorite Mexican eateries when in San Jose. For dessert you must have the Flan

Great spot to try if you're in the Campbell area. Excellent food, friendly staff, and welcoming atmosphere.

I ordered via doordash tonight chicken flautas a la cart which was to include Guacamole * Lettuce * Mexican Cheese * Salsa Fresca * Sour Cream For $15.45 this is what I received. Never ordering from here again. Their food is not even good. Just convenient. Patricia then responded lying that my order was received in their POS system without the extras. She should know we all keep receipts.

5 stars Ismael was absolutely great at Adelitas -- he made my Paloma with care, and I could definitely taste the love! The Milanesa is amazing -- hands down the best I've had in San Jose so far. Great food, strong drinks, and warm service. Can't wait to come back!

Food for lunch today was the best yet!!! And Robert our bartender was exceptional. Great drinks. Service with a smile. Awesome experience!!

Went to Adelita's on a random Tuesday since it was close to me at the time and it was amazing! Dana was an excellent server and our bartender Jaime made us delicious drinks. I had a good time with my friends here, we will definitely be coming back!

Strike 1 - A sit down menu without pricing. Does that make any sense at all? And then a separate menu with pricing? I was so confused. Highly recommend you change this experience. Maybe a tablet? Strike 2 - No more comp chips and salsa? Then everything went up in price? It raises the flag of new ownership. Ok if quality is the same. Strike 3 - Attention to detail in the things that made this restaurant are all gone. The Tacos used to be incredible. (Maybe best I ever had) The shells were half crispy but still flexible for curling. What happened to that? That was your differentiator and signature. Today there was no crispiness at all. Mexican rice not so tasty (broken rice) no fragrance and no flavor. Beans sucked and dry. Shrimp in tacos are not that succulent and juicy anymore (using a different quality shrimp too?). Fish was mehh. Seasoning just a tad bit off. Salsas not balanced. My guess is that this is new ownership and they lost the original head chefs. I think increased costs is understandable in today's environment, but you just can't cut quality significantly and raise costs and complicate ordering. I hope you improve.

I love this restaurant. They are really clean, they have wonderful service, and there's a fairly large parking lot so you usually don't have to worry about parking. Years ago I used to get their Torta (which was really good and I'm sure still is) but recently my favorite thing to get from here is their breakfast burrito. It's so delicious, juicy, and quite large which is a huge plus. And another great thing is that they're always consistent with how they make their food so you can expect perfection each and every time. They have a large selection of menu items so I'm sure there's so many other delicious foods to try. It also seems there's a bar next door as well (but I've never been myself). 10/10 rating! I highly recommend this place for Mexican food!

Adelitas is one of our regular stops . The fish tacos are excellent. The atmosphere is wonderful. The drinks are wonderful Robert. The bartender is great. It's a very great atmosphere. We give it five stars.

enchilada with green sauce and al pastor - good tamales, beans, rice, & carne asada - skip it 2015

I enjoyed everything! The food was authentic and flavorful. I got the taco plate and I thought the meat was marinated well and good quality! They also have a lot of drink choices and strong drinks. Dana was a very nice and thoughtful server!

Had dinner here tonight 9/1 and was seated right away. Waiter came over and took our drink order and also said he would bring us water. Water never came so I had to ask again. After we placed our food order it seemed like it took a long time for it to come out. And when it did most of our rice and beans were lukewarm. Finally after we were all done eating, we sat there for almost 15 minutes waiting for acknowledgment and our check to come. Never came. I had to go up to the counter and ask for it. So I asked where our waiter was and I was told he was on break! There were 7 in our group so the tip was automatically added on. So he got a much better tip than he deserved. Not happy with that or the service.

Love their vegan chilaquiles! Special shout out to Victoria and Alejandra and Alma for their outstanding service and for making such a welcome and warm ambience!

Todo estuvo rico. Nos atendieron rápido. Ismael nos atendió muy bien. Se los recomiendo muchísimo

Had super high hopes for this place but don't think I will be returning. This place had such a wide variety of items of their menu which was a plus but what I ordered just did not impress me. Came in and was seated right away and service was good but nothing exceptional. The best thing about this place was the free chips, guac, pico de gallo, and salsa. It was the only thing that kept me happy while waiting for our food. I ordered a super burrito and it took almost 25 minutes to get it. This is honestly a long wait especially when there's almost no one else in the store. The super burrito had good flavor but it didn't even come with rice! This is one of the things I look forward to the most and it wasn't included. It's partly my fault for not checking the ingredients but almost every place I have been to had rice in their super burrito. Anyways, I also wish they had more options of salsa. There was only one red one and one green which I did not enjoy. The last thing I ordered was the horchata which was not good at all in my opinion. It was so watered down and probably one of the worst I've had. The restaurant had lots of seating and the prices of everything were pretty decent. About $45 for two burritos and two drinks. However, I don't think it's enough for me to return!

Victoria !!!! All I can say is that my friends and I felt the warmth of mexico with the service that Victoria gave us. Not only did we have THE greatest Mexican cuisine in San Jose, we enjoyed the vibe of this restaurant. Thank you Victoria and thank you Adelitas for being awesom

The food was sooo good and fresh. The service excellent. Saw other reviews and wanted to add to them. I'll be back!!

I go to Adelita's all the time and get the shrimp tacos or the shrimp enchiladas. Nobody serves fresh shrimp like they do. By far the biggest shrimp and the best tasting around!

Love the food, every time we come back it never disappoints. It's our go to Mexican food. The fish tacos are so good. Food always fresh. Great service and feel good ambiance.

I had the California burrito. It was delicious. I did a pick up order but when I arrived, they had it ready within two minutes and answered any questions I needed, from a few few minutes that I was in there picking up my food. It looked really nice in there and they seem to be picking up very well.

Amazing service! This is one of our favorite restaurants, and for good reason. Dana went above and beyond, she checked on us frequently, was super attentive, with a sweet personality. Service was not only friendly but also impressively quick. The food was great as always, and Dana really made the experience even better. Highly recommend both the restaurant and requesting Dana if you can!

This is a popular place. It was full on a Friday evening. The quantities are huge for the food and for the drinks. There is ambiguity in the unlimited chips and dips they serve. The way he asked we thought it was on the house but they charged for it. I didn't mind just that I would have liked to know. Lots of space to sit including the bar. The parking lot was full though. It's a nice place to go with a group so you can try out different things. Lots of innovative drinks too.

Excellent food, great place, and great service. Servers make every effort to make sure all is well.

I don't know why everyone thinks this place is so great because it's not! Back in the day when they first opened they were really good then after they expanded their restaurant they suck. We decided to give them another try today. We ordered three tacos and they couldn't get that right. They messed up two of them and then when we called to tell them about it and get replacements, she argued with us & said he made them right. Then she said send us a picture of it?!My boyfriend said I'll just bring it back so he went back. They gave me a new one but the tortilla is burnt to a crisp. I called to talk to the lady about it and the guy answering the phone doesn't speak English and doesn't understand what I'm saying?! He puts her on the phone, I tell her about the new Taco as well as another taco we discovered was made wrong. This is why we stopped gojng here years ago, never goijg back. Total a waste of $21 & horrible customer service!
