La Adelita Mexican Restaurant

Feb 22nd, 2024

Let me start with the positives. Mexican style potatoes, rice, beans, and salsa. Great flavor on those sides. However, that's where the good flavors end... The lingering taste of rancid oil still comes to mind. I've been to smaller shops that keep fresh oil on circulation, but this was terrible. Maybe some people are used to the flavor, but it was definitely off. I had machaca con huevos and it was more of a scramble of just egg onion and shredded beef without much flavor beyond the bad oily taste. I'm not talking about being greasy. My wife had chilaquiles Verdes, which used the same rancid oil-filled chips to cover with their amazing green salsa. That was the best part of the dish, the salsa! In chilaquiles the eggs and chips shine together with the salsa. My son wanted two carnitas tacos... He was only eating his rice. I asked what was wrong with his tacos and he said it tasted disgusting...normally, I would shrug it off as a picky 6-yr old. I grabbed some of the meat and again the same rancid taste--dry, too! Maybe it was an off day for them? Or the 4.6 stars on here where from loyal customers who eat the same safe dish day in and day out? Who knows? The service was amazing! The ambiance is okay. If the Mexican potatoes, rice and salsa weren't so good, then I would definitely give them a 1 star for food.
