Adelitas

Checked out Adelitas tonight for dinner.

We were greeted promptly as the place was empty. I wouldn't say the place was filthy, but it wasn't clean either. As soon as we sat down, the server asked us if we wanted anything to drink. There was no drink menu to order from and the server didn't seem to know what they had either and had to keep running to the fridge to check.

Then she asked us if we wanted any appetizers while we check out the menu. I don't know how I feel about that as I didn't even have a chance to read the menu. Luckily there were only three appetizers. We ordered the guacamole.

The guacamole was okay. Good portion. Good balance of flavour - of lime and cilantro.

They had three (home made?) salsas. The spiciest one had a weird taste to it, and not as spicy as the medium one, which tastes a little strange too. The best one was the "non-spicy" one, which tasted like like and cilantro. The containers could be better, they were hard to pour.

We ordered three soft tacos each. I had the tongue, which was cooked well. It was tender and not chewy at all. Good mouth feel. Heavy on the cilantro side.

B had the carnitas (shredded pork). They actually taste the same. A little on the oily side. But flavoured well. The portions were good, as they double up on the taco shells, which end up giving you six instead of three tacos each.

We probably would come back for some cheap tacos. The service and the blasting tv kind of dampened the mood. Don't get me wrong, the server was nice, but just wasn't professional enough. If I wanted quality food and ambiance, however, I would probably return to La Mezcaleria on Commercial.
