    Chorizo burrito
    Erica L.

    Great place to eat for a quick taco or burrito meal while out running errands. My burrito was huge. My husband enjoyed his tacos. It has a casual bar vibe as well. Service was good as well.

    Virgin margaritas: piña colada and Mango

    Wonderful place! This was my first time being there. We were there at 2pm on a Wednesday and got a "Buy one get one free" margarita. I had the vegetarian burrito. HUGE BURRITO! Think of chipotle but wider and taller! Super stuffed full of veggies. I probably should've asked for some guac or sour cream to be place inside to make it better but ordering how it is, tastes great!

    Steak quesadilla

    I am SO FULL! I've never been to The Taco Depot & and I am so glad I went! My daughter and I got to seat ourselves and Brian came right over to give us menus and drinks. We got chips and queso to start off with. Then I ordered the burrito depot steak and it was so delicious. I can only eat half of it. My daughter got a steak quesadilla with no tomatoes. Our order was not only right it was hot and fresh. The interior design was so relaxing and calm that I could just sit there for hours on end, and not want to go anywhere else. It wasn't hot in there. It wasn't cold in there. The restaurant is so clean and immaculate on the inside I did not see that coming. I am so glad there's not a Hardee's there anymore and The Taco Depot took over. I will be back for more. Brian and the gentleman that cook their food are definitely top-notch. I felt very welcomed and appreciated and cared for from one human to another. That's hard to find these days. I hope you enjoy the photos below. I'm telling you you go there. You won't be sorry.

    Chicken taco

    I will start by saying that I really appreciate that restaurants are working so hard during this difficult time and the overwhelming majority of my experiences lately have been great. Unfortunately, Taco Depot was an outlier. It is some of the worst Mexican food I have ever tasted. It seemed as if it is made for people who haven't had real Mexican and are looking for something a half step up from taco bell. We ordered tacos for taco Tuesday and got carnitas, steak and chicken. The meat was bland and didn't taste like it was seasoned for tacos. It was like someone took leftovers from another meal out of the fridge and decided to make tacos with them. They used flour tortillas that tasted like the grocery store brand--not the usual freshly made corn tortillas you get at a lot of more authentic places. Our tacos were supposed to be topped with lettuce, tomato, cheese and sour cream. There was a lot of lettuce and sour cream and very little cheese and tomato. Just overall bland and not restaurant quality (see photos). I can definitely make something better at home. We also ordered guacamole and chips. You can tell the avocado is mixed with something (maybe sour cream) so you don't get that really tasty guacomole that you get when it's pure fresh avocado. The chips also tasted like bagged chips which was so disappointing because one of the exciting parts about ordering tortilla chips from a restaurant is that they're often freshly made. Taco Depot seems to have a lot of fans but it really was the worst meal I have had in awhile. Maybe it was an off night but with a number of other options around I won't be returning.

    Always I had some issues with these guys. Only the first visit when i had been there, they were good. Earlier I was mad at their servers and services. But today, I am upset, with just messing up my order. after working all morning, I ordered a takeout and they gave me a wrong order. And asked me to come back, which was ok but then the Mexican guy was very rude. As if he was doing a favor on me by giving me a correct order. I wasted my entire lunch hour going back n forth because someone didn't check what they were packing. The server came out and said I am giving you free chips n salsa and I was like they don't care and just left. I don't like 1 star review but you deserve it :(

    Cheap and delicious. Quick, friendly service. Also had a great atmosphere. Definitely worth checking out. Only downside is they dont offer free chips and salsa. But with the prices being as low as they are , i understand.

    Adelitas Mexican Grill - Six oysters on the half shell with shrimp ceviche. Yum!

    Adelitas offers a decent selection of authentic Mexican dishes. The customer service was excellent…read moreand friendly. The chips and salsa was good to start off with while you wait for your food. The one negative things is that my soft shell taco was cold. The portion of food was amazing and a lot for the price you paid. The location of the restaurant is easy to get to and very inviting once you're inside. I will be back to try other dishes.

    I recently visited Adelitas Mexican Restaurant in Cedar Rapids after hearing that they made their…read moretortillas in-house. Sadly, when I inquired about this before ordering, the server looked at me as if I was asking something outlandish and nonchalantly remarked, "We've never done that - there isn't ANY restaurant around here that has the people to do that." This set the tone for an experience that was a mixed bag. Service: Service-wise, I was left wanting. Not only did the server's dismissive response about the tortillas disappoint me, but I also encountered another hiccup when it came to payment. After we had already paid with a debit card, we were informed that ANY sort of card used was subject to a 4% service fee. This felt like a hidden charge that should have been communicated upfront. Another minor issue was the lack of drink refills. My guest ordered a soda and was never offered a refill or asked if they needed anything else. I only ordered water for lunch and was disappointed to be offered a single refill when our food was initially brought by someone other than our server. My cup sat empty for over half an hour while we finished our meal. Food Quality: The food at Adelitas was reasonably tasty but nothing extraordinary. While their flavors were acceptable, their menu offerings of only shredded chicken and ground beef options as protein fillings fall drastically short of what I consider "industry standard." I'm not saying everyone has to have a barbacoa pit out back, but at least having a chicken breast or steak option would be nice. I will say, I did appreciate their lunch special, where you can get two choices that included tacos, chimichangas, burritos, etc., and a very well-made tamale (with your choice of sauces - and they allowed me to substitute in their queso sauce). Atmosphere: Adelitas scores well on cleanliness and location. The restaurant is well-located and offers a cozy, family-friendly environment that makes it a great spot for a quick meal. The interior is clean and spacious, with decor that is vibrant and reflective of the restaurant's Mexican theme, creating a lively and enjoyable dining experience. Outdoor seating is also available for those who prefer it. **Overall Experience:** While Adelitas Mexican Restaurant is a decent choice for a quick lunch on this side of town, my overall experience left much to be desired. With so many better options not only in Cedar Rapids but also in the surrounding neighborhoods, I personally won't be heading back to this particular restaurant anytime soon. For those considering a visit, it might be worth a try if you're in the area and need a quick bite. However, be prepared for potential service issues and hidden fees.
