I had burrito combo with Carne asada (beef) amount protein was very small and dried texture. Very disappointed. When I paid at cashier, the machine didn't have an option for tip amount. Then I checked the receipt. Already 15% was charged. read more

Don't go for Mexican often in town but we've been to Adelitas twice for dinner. It's next to Cafe Dang Anh and El Caracol Cafe. The inside is small with 20 seats, plus two tables outside. Only one waitress was working the front. Slow and took 30 minutes to get drinks/waters. The menu is split into appetizers, breakfast (weekdays 9:30am-12:00pm), tacos, tortas, burritos, single plates, soups, seafood, meals and dessert. We were asked if we wanted salsa (spicy, mild, non-spicy or verde). - Horchata ($4.50) - not too sweet and good cinnamon flavour. - Jamaica ($4.00) - hibiscus was nicely balanced. Wish they topped the drinks all the way up. - Corona ($8.50) with michelada ($2.50) - a clamato beer mix with a tajin and salt rim. My friend likes the two, but not mixed together. - Tacos de lengua ($13.25) - toppings are sparse but the tongue was tender. - 2x Enchiladas ($18.75) - tiny side of rice and beans. At least the enchiladas were well made. Pastor had a crunchy bite. Green sauce was mild but enjoyable. - Chile en nogada ($20.25) - haven't seen this dish offered elsewhere. Sauce is sweet, creamy but not heavy. Ground pork was okay. - Cochinita pibil ($18.25) - decent but lacked heat. - Coconut flan ($6.25) - texture was light. Sauce (slightest hint of caramel) was excellent. A hybrid dessert baby of flan and cheesecake. Okay but portions don't quite satisfy. El Caracol Cafe is significantly better in my books. read more

Am always on the hunt for an authentic Mexican spot nearby and I remember this place from many years ago. Offered to bring a friend who loves Mexican food as much as me. We went around 6:30pm on a Sunday evening without a reservation and the restaurant was half full. The place is cozy and played great Spanish music. I was psyched that they had beef tongue (lingua) tacos and they tasted great and were for an affordable price. The only downside to this place was us noticing there were a notable amount of small black flies around the restaurant moving on the walls and cash register area. As it was no longer summer time am not sure why there were so many black flies and if anything was done about it. I sure hope so as this place has been around for years and I hope for many more years to come. Good authentic food for reasonable prices and friendly service. Hope to be back for a sans flies experience. read more

Adelitas - Beef tongue (lingua) tacos platter - Mexican Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

I've been here a couple of times now. I haven't been here in ages but was craving Mexican and remembered this place. I remembered it being very authentic and it sure was! I got here about 3pm on a Sunday and was surprised it was fairly busy, being a dead hour. All the customers I believe were Hispanic (a good sign for sure!). i ordered the burrito combo which came with salad, rice and beans to go. It was around $16 bucks, mine was a bit more cuz I ordered lamb. I walked around a bit and came back around 10 minutes later. The server was very nice and the place is small, maybe 5 or 6 tables and clean. There is free street parking out front on Victoria. The food was very good. The burrito was all lamb, not filled with lettuce, rice etc. and everything else was very fresh and clean. Can't wait for my next trip here.......... read more

Best Pozole in Town and with your fav meat option Plus the dessert, Chocoflan so yummy

On a whim stopped by this place as I've seen it before as I drove past. I Feel bad that their was only one server, and possibly cook as well. He was running around with everyone's order serving tables. I absolutely love to support local and small Businesses. The downside to today's visit was no beverages (margaritas) were on the menu. And it was my birthday however I did enjoy the food. It seems like authentic Mexican food, but the closest I've had to real Mexican is Cali. And nothing compares to that. I'd say, if you have a hankering for Mexican food, this will Be a good spot. I have no criticism here, our server was polite and attentive and he was working hard to take care of a few tables. read more

Adelitas - Chicken enchilada - Mexican Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Ambiance: 4/5 Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 A quaint spot with the sweetest owner and amazing food! We were in the area and craving Mexican food and came across this place so decided to pop in. We were greeted right away by a friendly lady and seated at one of the two patio tables with menus. The menus were quite extensive and almost every single item had a veggie version which was appreciated! I went with the veggie burrito platter which came with a side of beans, rice, guac, and pico de Gallo for $15.50 and my boyfriend got the 3 taco platter. Both were delicious! I do think it was a bit odd that the veggies in my burrito included broccoli, but I didn't mind! The food was fresh and you get a lot of bang for your buck! If you're looking for a super casual no-fuss Mexican spot, I'd recommend this place! read more

A very homely place for Mexican food. My Mexican friend loves this place and brought me here. It is authentic food. I must say I like the margarita more than the food. I had the beef enchiladas and it was nice. I felt I had better enchiladas elsewhere. The churros and coconut flan were ok. Not really a place I will go to often. read more

Price is kinda high for small portions and a mediocre taste. Table and washrooms dirty. Would avoid if I can.

I hate to leave mom and pop establishments a bad review but this place is a no-go. The positive sentiment on Yelp gave me the impression it was going to be very delicious but OMG, it was the first time in a long time I tossed food! Ordered the carne asada enchilada with green tomatillo sauce and spicy guacamole sauce ($19.49), pico de gallo ($4.55), and 3 chicken tacos ($13.00). Pico de gallo was okay but the enchilada was soggy and the green sauce tasted weird and very off-putting. The chicken tacos were dry and lacked flavour (did not taste any sauce/seasoning). Started questioning if the food was spoiled halfway through our meal and that's when we decided to throw everything out instead of finishing it. The chips were great but it's not worth $38. Thoroughly disappointed. read more

Unassuming neighbourhood Mexican food joint. Been eyeing this everytime we drive and so happy we came by. Small place but cozy. The server is nice. Food is delicious and made to order. Very extensive menu and good prices. I had the al pastor tacos and quite delicious. I wish there was a couple more pieces of pineapple to make it a bit juicier and tangier. The burrito was okay. I ordered the chicken tamales for FOMO. The corn was so soft and flavourful but the chicken was a bit dry. I'd eat just the corn again. Maybe try their cheese variation nex time read more

Stopped in here late on a rainy day. Got the ceviche, enchiladas, and tacos. The portions were good and the food came with all the good fixing that you'd expect at a Mexican joint. The only things that makes Adelitas 4 stars for me is the atmosphere and the fact that they don't take credit. The music was a bit loud, but the ads that played between songs was what really made it a bit odd for me. read more

Made reservations for dinner as it was a birthday. Arrived on time to be told that they were full. I advised I made reservations (only 4 people) and they said that everybody had reservations. Okay so why take reservations at all? The service staff didn't even seem apologetic. There are so many good restaurants in Vancouver that I will not support this business. I am giving this a 1 star as I have to give a rating. read more

I've been wanting to try this place for a long time and realized it was a HUGE mistake for coming here. My sister and I were one of the few people waiting at the table and it was same for everyone else (only one table was eating out of 10 seated tables). It was nice we had tortilla chips for free, however waiting time was 30 minutes for my food and water. I saw few people at the line up waited and then left few minutes later. As my sister and I waited for our food, one server guy was so busy serving other tables. I heard microwave beeps few times and the food DIDN'T taste fresh at all. I ordered Burrito combo for $12 and the serving size was perfect for one person. Not too big, but just good for one person. The meat in the burrito was dry and it was nothing special. I bet even the rice was microwaved too? Server was nice and helpful( he even brought refill for the tortilla chips that was great!) , but the service was incredibly slow. Waiting time is at least 30 minutes to get your food. Also washroom needed maintenance as well. I couldn't flush the toilet. SKIP this place. Sal Y Limon is SO much better than Adelitas, trust me. As one yelper mentioned here they're very short staffed here and this must be why the service is slow. read more

I used to order from here once a week and loved the food but recently their customer service is so terrible that I can't go here anymore. Just today, I ordered take out on the phone and waited 30 mins to pick it up. I arrive and the woman on the phone never put in the order. The restaurant was not apologetic, did not offer anything and looked apathetic to the problem. This was the final straw other than their other issues of always wrapping up wrong orders or running out of tortas on regular hours. Sorry but if you want somewhere that cares about their regular customers, bring your business elsewhere read more

Wow! The food was amazing. Visiting from LA and was craving some authentic Mexican and wow did this place deliver. We ordered the chilaquiles, tortilla soup, and pozole. It was some of the best pozole and definitely one of the best tortilla soups. The soups were definitely the star of our meal. Our waitress was so sweet and made sure we had everything we need. If I was a local this would definitely be one of my regular spots. Careful the chile de árbol salsa is spiiiicy but delicious! read more

Been a few times now and have always left happily satisfied. Nacho's and margaritas this trip which was almost enough for us. Both were very good, particularly the margaritas. I had to stop myself from having four. Service is understandably slow on occasion as she is alone out front. When there is a sudden influx of deliveries, things slow down even more. Can't be helped, just enjoy. This is real deal Mexican food. read more

This place was recommended to us and it was well worth the drive. As we ended our vacation in Vancouver Canada we stopped at this small place to eat and it was so good to eat delicious homemade food. We loved the customer service. It was a small wait before getting serve but everything is made freshly. The enchiladas and pozole were good. read more

Uber eats order review. $20 lamb soup came with half of the soup into the bag(okay maybe the drivers fault), but completely skipped out no tortillas, no beans, as promised on the menu. Why bother sending it to us? Taste was good but who cares when I'm paying money to get cheated. $54 for 3 tacos, a soup, with a small side of rice. Left the beans out, left the tortillas out, but gave us guac salsa that were supposed to dip our fingers in? read more

Another Mexican restaurant that i would say worth to visit....small place probably can house only 25 heads at a time,fairly new restaurant around that area and busy..... Neat place with mexican decors but sad to say the decorations are kinda dull for me..there is 1 table for outside sitting.i cant remember if they a have aTV what i remembered was a good spanish music playing,The service is excellent theres only one female server when we came and too bad it got busy....very generous with chips while waiting for our orders.... We had the conchita pilibil its a pulled pork with some veggies.the shrimp tacos...soft tacos but still thats my favorite dish..taste so good...we had thetamales and the alambres...everytime we are visiting any spanish resto we always tried the native drinks....jarritos and tamarindo....people sitting in the other table were spanish and they are telling us to try the sopas...but we are so stuffed already tamales is really filling....we will try that next time....Pricing of food is very reasonable considering the generousity of the serving.....authentic clean hot stuff with verygood service whtaelse can you ask for..... Street parking and its easy a lot of free parking plus theres metered one aswell..... Good for family,group and kids...accept cash,card and debit...noise level is average.... I wish they will improve the decors...mexico is about colors and fiestas i dont feel that inside.very big potential to be a great place...ATM it can already rival other place that serves thesame kind of foods,...... Neat place to enjoy mexican dishes....i shall return.... Waittttt....................that green sauce in everytable in a plastic container was so so good...im addicted to it......spicy sour kinda thing...mmmmmmmm...so so delish..... read more

Decent Mexican food in this part of town. Wouldn't go so far to say it's a hole in the wall, but it's part of a building that nobody seems to notice. Parking is available on the side streets. The inside is painted lime green, but is otherwise quite plain. The only real hint that the place is Mexican is the assorted of random sombreros. Service was friendly. Food took a while to come though. The tostadas were quite tasty, with plenty of filling. Plenty of sour cream, and a slice of avocado on top. My buddies and I were spilling everywhere trying to eat the thing. The lamb tacos were nice and light. Served with refried beans, yellow rice, a pile of guacamole, and a slice of lime. Nice tender meat chunks, with plenty of onions and cilantro. Beautiful. Thank goodness for the sides, or I would've left hungry though. It also would've been nice if the rice had some other stuff mixed into it. Each table also has several bottles of house sauce (orange and green). Both of them have quite a kick, though one is more tangy than the other. Special mention. All of that (1/3 of the appy, and the full entree) for roughly $17 a person. Not bad at all. Although I don't have Mexican too often, this place is definitely worth a return visit. Recommended. read more

Definitely a great Mexican spot!!! They've got a very simple menu with a good options!!! The servers are super nice and definitely very helpful with giving recommendations! Now the hot sauces! The avocado hot sauce is by far the BEST and my favourite of all time! I almost finished the entire bottle and poured it on all my tacos! The nachos are so simple, not salty and loaded with avocado, cheese and chicken! It's a small place and gets packed in the evening so make sure you come early! read more

This is as close to classic, hole-in-the-wall style Mexican food you get in Vancouver. It's good, hot, not super greasy, kinda well priced and the salsas are amazing. Sadly it just makes me crave the real version more, but this will do until the border opens. read more

Decided to stop by here as a result of googling nearby Mexican food with some coworkers on a Tuesday evening. We've been here twice and both times the service was a bit slow (expect your food to come 30-45 minutes after you order). That's probably the only disclaimer in case you're in a rush. The servers are always very kind and friendly, and they are very helpful when asked for recommendations. There are also an array of sauces that are available on your table to add to your food. Not sure what it's called, but my favourite sauce kind of resembles a spicy thousand island type sauce ( i need to ask what's in it!!!) I definitely maxed out on the sauce. No shame there. The first time I came here I had the chorizo tacos (3 tacos per order) and it was very affordable! I think the total came to about $8.00 and I was very full and satisfied with the portion size. They also have a variety of import beer available to enjoy with your meal ! read more

Adelitas - Coconut flan - Mexican Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

First and foremost, the service may be slow. When I walked into the restaurant, I was standing awkwardly for a while until I was told to choose any seat. After I sat down, I waited once more to receive the menu. Then, I waited again for the complimentary nachos and sauces. Other than the waiting times, the service is excellent. The server gave very nice recommendations and was very friendly! As for the food, I ordered chicken soft tacos, pork/pineapple soft tacos, and chicken tamale. The chicken tacos were very dry. I put some of the sauce in it to avoid that. It was very good with the sauce though. The pork in the other tacos was flavourful, and had a good texture. I personally did not like the pineapple in it, but that's not a big deal. for the tamale, I have never had any prior to this, but there is a dish from my Vietnamese culture that is very similar (sticky rice wrapped in banana leaf) that I could compare to. The contents of the tamale are very soft which I was not used to. It was also very salty. I did not finish it. But take my opinion with a grain of salt. I may be biased since I grew up with a dish very similar to this. For my drink, I was offered some different choices of Mexican waters. I chose the horchata since it is my go-to. Is there any place that can go wrong with a horchata? It was brought out in a mason jar cup. They accept cash and debit (not sure about credit). I had to wait a while to pay too, by the way. I would recommend this place if you aren't in a huge hurry, but If you see a line forming outside, you may want to skip it. read more

A good authentic Mexican joint. LOTS of classic dishes from soups to chilaquiles to huevos rancheros to tacos de lengua to... you name it. The taco chips and homemade hot sauces are a great start to the meal. Muy picante! I had the Cochinita Pibil... slow cooked pork in achiote. Although it was nice and flavourful with the achiote seasoning, It was quite dry... and the entire meal was actually lacking some moisture or elements to combine the dish. I ended up utilizing a significant amount of their red hot sauce and salsa verde to moisten things up. Service is very nice... super friendly though maybe a bit slow. Manana manana as they say! read more

Formerly El Caracolito, this little joint is clearly a labour of love and it shows in the amazing food quality; fresh, unique, and delicious! The service isn't anything to rave about, but it's not a point of complaint either (keep in mind that on several occasions the server has also been the sole cook); simply, it just... is. The Chile en Nogada is perhaps the most delicious thing on the menu (if not in the entire universe), and that's saying a lot as I have tried almost everything and everything is fresh and spectacular. I could also eat a truckload of the pork and pineapple tacos. These are an absolute MUST for any newcomer to this little slice of mexi-heaven. I dine here a lot not only because it's delicious, but because this place is a hidden gem of the Kensington area and the people that run this joint are dedicated, hard-working, and provide beautiful home cooked food. If you choose to dine here, remember to base your judgements solely on the quality of the food and not on the aesthetics. read more

On the hunt for Mexican food on this night, and using my great memory, knowing there are a few places along Victoria Drive for this type of food. With the recent trend of this city, and the more popular places out there, I wanted to find a place that wasn't crammed with people, less commercialized, and still serve up some wicked Mexican, and after a first impression, I think I will be coming back. If your looking for style and comfort, this is not the place to go, but if your looking for authenticity, you have come to the right place. This place is downright simple, a few tables set up, some pictures of mexico hanging around the walls with some Mexican decorations. The cashregister near the food window, but if you take a clear look you will also see the kitchen, and the two people (on this night) working. Nothing fancy, and your wanting tacos... wait a minute they don't mix... so this should be good. The menu was quite vast, for a small place, from tacos, to salads, to burritors, and if I recall, a steak selection, there was about 3 pages worth to read. We went right for the tacos... as my dear was craving for this dish for the night... a choice of pork, chicken and beef. She wanted a variety of all meats, but 3 for $6 doesn't get you this, so we went for the chicken. It didn't take too long for the two in the back to muster up our simple dish of 2 tacos, For a 'dive' place like this, the food is very presentable, where they don't make things look perfect. The meat is a little overflowing on top of the three corn toritllas, as they were all lined up in a straight row, and topped off with the chicken. This is finger food people, it doesn't need to look picture perferct, and in some ways because of this, it actually looks good. The meat wasn't overflowing, but they definitely didn't cheap out. Throw a few lime wedges on the side and you have got a fine dish on your hands. Also the tackiness of the salsa coming in squeeze bottle containers that should be housing ketchup and mustard that arrived at our table just said something to us that we were in the right place. The tacos tasted great, with the addition of the spices they used to cook and make the chicken all tender, and the addition of the lime on the side, this was a solid taco. Adding their salsa just made this thing even more a treat to eat. There was a green one that was pretty good, and there was a couple speaking Spanish to the waitress, and eventually she packaged some of this creamy green looking sauce in a little sandwich bag, tied up, for them to take home, with the additional food they ordered to go. The first experience here was pretty good. Service can be a little slow, just due to the fact there is only one person working in the front, but that can definitely be overlooked cause your getting some pretty good food for the price. You don't need to go to the heavily commercialized places for Mexican, as this place is probably more authentic than them. On my list to come back.. for sure. read more

Had lunch here recently and the prices are great! We paid around $10 a person for HUGE portions. It's definitely a hole in the wall. Parking can also be quite difficult in the area. There is a bus stop right in front of the restaurant. The place has a very authentic feel. Service is not very good, but for the price it's a great meal to fill your tummy. In terms of flavour it was a little bland for my liking. However they do have many sauces to choose from. read more

Long story short my constant dining companion (CDC) and I were at El Caracol next door and had been sitting for 10 minutes without anyone coming out. He decided to shimmy on over to Adelitas to see if anyone was willing to take our money there. Mexican dinner success! Cash only. Daily specials. Authentic Mexican food. High chair for young-ins. A previous reviewer mentioned they got chips and an array of dips and salsas - that didn't happen and I was upset about it. I'm sure it would have been delicious. My chicken enchilada with green sauce was perfectly seasoned and at the right spice level. CDC had the same with tomato sauce - he insisted it was bland. He was right. Green sauce for the win. Service was sporadic - but at least it was available to us. The waitress we got had minimal English and seemed a little shy. All I can say is be nice, be patient and enjoy the amazing food. read more

Had the shrimp burrito which sounds odd but was stuffed with shrimp and cheesy deliciousness. The avocado hot sauce very tasty. Bonus with the free salsa and chips. Only critique was very hot in the restaurant, we moved closer to door which helped. It is a small quaint restaurant just spoiled with AC..first world problem! read more

Food is consist an good quantities and plenty of chip refills for free Owner/ chef always says hola and smiles his gold tooth smile every time read more

2.5. A lot of mixed reviews regarding Adelitas. Our experience was okay, but nothing memorable. We found a seat right away as the restaurant wasn't very busy, but service was still slow and the food took quite a long time to come out.

Love the tacos here, but its gone a bit pricey,plus when you order two/three sets of tacos and a soup it adds up, and thats what I did the last time I was here, my takeout bill was like $50...soo yea but I mean $10 for three tacos? Not bad...but still.... I still like this place, but will probably won't order as much.... read more

Pleasantly surprised.We have been wanting there to be a good Mexican Restaurant in our neighborhood for some time. We had a bad experience with the neighboring establishment so we did not want to chance this place, BUT..we tried it today. I had the Chicken Enchiladas with Verde Sauce. Very good taste,but I felt they could have added a bit more on the inside of the Enchiladas,not alot of filling. Otherwise the food was very authentic Mexican. Thier salsas come in rubbermaid serving containers,ad there are 3 types, Arbol Chilli, Chipotle, Guacamole type sauce. All very tasty. They are also licenced, and they use Cazadores Tequila for their $5 Margaritas. Nice they are not using the cheapest most Tequila. Friendly service and speedy delivery of the food,makes this a place we will return to. read more
