First time visiting this place from Salinas ca where the food is fantastic. This was the first authentic experience I have had when visiting the area away from home. The service was outstanding and so was the food! We ordered the salsa flight, guac, mix and match tacos with asada, pollo and carnitas but the highlight was the asada sopes! Handmade sopes were refreshing and delicious! The asada was so flavorful and tender. This was def my favorite dish! I would love to come back to try the breakfast menu. Our server was Marlin who was fantastic. She was kind and helpful. The manager was welcoming and very helpful and kind. We will definitely be back!

This was our third time at Adelitas Cocina y Cantina, and it continues to impress. One of the things we love most is that there’s always something new to try on the menu, even after multiple visits.
This time we decided to share the Cielo Mar y Tierra Molcajete, and it is an absolute must-try. The molcajete came out sizzling and packed with flavor—perfectly marinated steak, chicken, and shrimp in a bold, spicy tomato sauce. The combination of nopales, green onions, panela cheese, and melted cheddar made every bite rich and satisfying. It’s easily shareable and great with both corn or flour tortillas.
Adelitas truly delivers on its reputation as an authentic, family-owned Mexican restaurant, and you can tell a lot of care goes into the food. Welcoming atmosphere, and it’s easy to see why we keep coming back.
Highly recommend if you’re in Denver

Staff and food was fantastic. We had 3 tacos and the carna Sada plate. The guacamole is terrific. Staff was very friendly and helpful. My only nit picky feedback is the salsa was watery but seemed very fresh. Otherwise great and we will be back.

A little on the pricier side but maaaaan the food is good! Take a look at that salad bowl. It tasted as good as it looks. Looots of meat, avocado, eggs, and the greens…. a low-carb-dieter’s perfect dish. I’d come back just to have this salad bowl again.

Great Mexican Food! I was overly impressed. I was mouthwatering! I never order a quesadilla because it’s always the same, boring. This cheese, with veggies they added, was amazing. The couple I was with order a dish the came out bubbling hot and stayed that way almost the entire time the filled their tortillas up eating it! It had steak, shrimp and chicken in it.

One of my favorite Mexican food places ever. We fly here from portland and we’re blown away. The drinks were crazy too!

The food was fantastic! Our waitress suggested the Cielo Mar Y Tierra Molcajete and it was so delicious. The house margaritas was very good and not too sweet. We will definitely be back.

I come here every week, it’s a staple for my boyfriend and I. Every time we order take out, something is wrong though. Today I ordered take out and paid $12 for the deli side rice, the container isn’t even nearly full. I also ordered a bean and cheese burrito, and it’s quite literally a rice burrito, no beans and no cheese… It’s been quite disappointing the last few times we’ve been or ordered to-go. I never write reviews, but I love this place so much and it’s disheartening when an order gets messed up this badly.

Yummy burrito & mocktails. Haily our server was the BEST.
We got ceviche & chips+ guac as appetizers.
I have never seen a burrito like mine with so much cheese on top, loved it.
