    Street tacos
    Rick D.

    I was disappointed. I love Mexican food. This is one place I will not go back to. The food was kinda bland and dry. And the place was not real organized. Stuff was everywhere. They had two buckets of margarita mix open setting on the bar. The one nice thing was the service was ok. This place was a let down.

    Social distancing
    Bill B.

    I have visited this location a few times and the food is really good and authentic. The chips you get complementary are thick making me think they are made there and the salsa is not overly spicy. The staff are friendly and the place looks clean. They are practicing social distancing if that is important to you. I expect to be back again real soon to try multiple dishes.

    Six oysters on the half shell with shrimp ceviche. Yum!

    I chose Aldelitas for dinner while visiting Cedar Rapids for business and when I walked in the oyster special caught my eye. I was quickly seated and perused the menu that listed the ceviche but not the oysters. I asked the waitress about it and she described it as raw oysters in the half shell with shrimp ceviche on top. She asked if I would like six or twelve. I ordered six, that was a mistake. They were fresh and delicious and nice sea and citrus flavor. PLEASE don't take these off the special! I sat awhile enjoying my Cucumber Jalapeno Margarita. As much as I wanted to order another six of the oyster ceviche I ordered a half order of the street tacos one carnitas, one steak and one pastor. They were good and the special sauce was tasty. Waitress was knowledgeable and attentive and restaurant was comfortable. I will be back.

    Chicken and Cactus Fajitas

    This is one of the best Mexican places I have ever been! They have dishes that include cactus which is something I have never seen before in most American Mexican places but it's to-die-for delicious! The staff is always wonderful and they seem to really enjoy their job in the kitchen. The music is wonderful and overall the atmosphere is enjoyable! Can't wait to come back next visit!

    Adelitas has been our favorite restaurant for years. They are always friendly and have given us prompt service. The food is top notch, especially the street tacos, our favorite. The Ceviche is especially good as well. To top it off their Gold margarita is the best weve had anywhere. They have a special tequila of the month they use and it never disappoints. We have been to the streets of Mexico for street tacos for years and Adelitas is as authentic as any we have had.

    Beef nachos? Terrible. Forgot tomato.

    Sent the wrong nachos. And forgot the 2 sides we ordered. I don't mind paying more for good food, but this was Not very good tasting either.

    Lunch special #8.

    This is my favorite Mexican restaurant in Cedar Rapids. The wait staff is helpful and knowledgeable. The food is always at proper serving temperature. The atmosphere is loud and fun, and even with the one mistake on meal, everything has been delicious.

    Beer bottle next to glass for comparison...it's huge!
