The music was on/off--they had some difficulties--which we didn't mind--we were there for the food lol. Seated right away--and our server was great. They brought out complimentary plantain soup--it was soo good. I'm not a soup person, but every drop was gone. We got the appetizer platter--so worth it. Everything on it was delicious. I ordered the Kan-Kan--wow! My whole group was so happy with their meals. They abs loved it. I believe the owner even stopped by to see if we were ok, she was so sweet. For a group of this size, along with our many alcoholic beverages the bill was not bad--which made everything much more worth it. I'll def be back. This place is great for groups or date night.

Anthony the owner is so nice and very welcoming. We looked at the menu and ordered the Cuban sandwich with fries and the Mofongo with shrimp and red sauce. The sandwich is a big portion. It was filled with delicious shredded pork and thinly sliced ham, Swiss cheese, pickle and mustard. We were super happy we order this sandwich. I really enjoyed the flavors. The mofongo was really good it was moist and went well with the shrimp and red sauce. It was garlicky and delicious. It was a large portion with 5 shrimp. Overall, I love this addition to the neighborhood. I will def be back to try more menu options.

I was surprised (in a good way) that a fork, knife and spoon was automatically provided. Most restaurants only place a fork and knife on the table and I always have to request a spoon with my meal. This tissi had beautifully charred skin and tender, white meat. It was love at first bite. The chunk meat is fairly large and it will make a great leftover meal for the next day. As a bonus, a tall pitcher of complimentary chilled water is provided. This location only accepts cash, so please plan accordingly. As I was leaving, I unintentionally left a personal belonging on the restaurant table. My server stepped outside the restaurant and brought me my item. This is one of my better dining experiences from start to finish; the chef and servers clearly go above and beyond. #casaadela #halfrotisseriechicken

We waited a bit until a table opened up, and sat down to order. Unfortunately our order took about 30 minutes to come out! I was worried it was lost somewhere, but one of the workers checked in for us. When the food came out, everything was hot and tasted well! The maduros were sweet and had good flavor. The chicken was not too dry. The maduro was fine, but it lacked some flavor for me, though the texture was great! The pernil was a little dry too. Overall, I had a fine time but I really appreciated the kind service and vibe Casa Adela has!

If you really think about it the Dominican food has taken over the Bx. I searched, and found this place. The moment you step in you are greeted with the warmest blessings. The 2 beautiful people that worked there made our time there so memorable. The food was out of this world let me tell you. Also, I will say it is AFFORDABLE. portion size was huge and the place was so CLEAN. Food: Pernil: 10/10 flavorful and tender Yellow (arroz con gandules) and Black rice with the beans: 10/10 both were good and couldn't even decide which one was better Pulpo 9/10 : fresh and tangy, cut into small pieces so you can top it on your rice Alcapurrias: 8/10 great and made differently then what I'm used to but it was sooo good I'd come again for this alone Juices: Ask them to try the juices and they will let you. We tried it all. Came home with passion fruit (parcha) and guyaba (guanabana) Delicious 10/10 It was so fresh and they don't add too much ice so you get all the juice taste. All in all I'm coming here from now on. A true BX staple for the community and a true essence of the Bori pride resides here. If you miss PR, come here.

However, the flavors were definitely there, which is what matters most. I tried the alcapurria, and while it was decent, I've had better. The chicken inside was a little dry and could have used more seasoning and flavor. On the other hand, the chicken empanada was really good. The chicken was tender, flavorful, and had a nice seasoned taste that stood out. That's definitely something I would order again. Unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures of my lunch, but I also ordered pernil with rice and gandules, as well as baked chicken with rice and gandules. As someone who loves pernil, I have to say that Puerto Ricans make some of the best pernil. It's always well-seasoned, flavorful, and tastes clean rather than overly greasy. The pernil here did not disappoint. The rice and gandules were also very good. While it doesn't quite compare to my husband's aunt's homemade version, it was still packed with flavor and complemented the meal perfectly. Overall, I enjoyed my experience and would come back to try more items from the menu. If you're in the area and craving Puerto Rican food, I think it's worth giving this place a try.

I was…read morelooking for a Cuban restaurant, because I wanted a good Cubano, and instead, I found this place, which is food from across Latin America. They had the Cubano, but they had so many other things, I decided to go for something different. It is a nice space, with Latin music playing loud and proud. They have parking behind the restaurant, but it is shared with the other businesses in the small shopping center that the restaurant is in. Parking may be tricky. The food is on a cafeteria line, you just tell them what you want. It was Sunday, so I wanted to try the goat. Unfortunately, they were sold out. Instead, I decided to go for the chicken stew. For my sides, I decided to go for the rice and pigeon, peas, and the yellow plantains. Dear lord, I couldn't believe the size of the plate that she handed me. The chicken was bone in, but it was so tender and juicy, it was literally falling right off the bone. It was seasoned well and had an amazing flavor. I loved the rice, and the pigeon peas kind of reminded me of Black Eyed Peas. I liked the nutty flavor. The plantains were done very well. I love plantains, they reminded me of a banana, only a little bit less sweet. I had enough food for two full meals, and each of them left me stuffed. For all of this amazing food, and a soda, it was only $16 and a few cents, plus tip. I want to come back and try more things. Thank you very much....
