Very fresh and good food. Price point a little too heavy, but the meal is very delicious. We got the tostados for an appetizers, all ingredients well put together. My boyfriend enjoyed a Mexican coke with his meal. He got the tampequeña and I ordered the mole, we also ordered some refried beans. All seemed like they were made to order. Again, delicious food and if you’re on a budget this is a bit high for the amount of food we had. We paid $62 plus we added a tip. Inside is a smaller space, the tables are smaller but it’s cute. Will say that Mr. Alexander did an amazing job with his service as well, very appreciative of the kindness and the way he spaced out the meal.
I will definitely be back!

This is one of these small unassuming Mexican restaurants down on Frankfort Avenue. I wasn’t sure what to expect as I walked in but noticed that it did have a 4.8 rating which is excellent, so I figured it must be worth a try. Glad I stopped in.
To start with our waiter, Alex was very pleasant and helpful. We initially ordered some chips, salsa, and B dip as a trio. They were all excellent. Now I’m not usually a fan of guacamole, but I’ve got to say this is excellent guacamole. Lots of flavor with lots of other vegetables thrown in. It’s a winner. The salsa was also tasty with a slight hint of smoke, probably from the poblano peppers, and it wasn’t runny. It was just right with a little body to it. The bean dip was also superb. Everyone at our table agreed.
At our table, we had an order of gordita, tamales, and tacos. The consensus from the group was everyone really enjoyed their food, enough to say they’ll be back. The rice is not sure typical Spanish or Mexican rice and I really enjoyed the flavor as did others. We had one vegetarian and they were more than happy to accommodate. Several of the dishes can be made vegetarian. They’re bean dip and refried beans are not made with any meat.
No, it’s not a big place inside with only three or four tables but they do a good takeout business. So if you’re interested in the food, but would like to take it home, then order ahead. According to our waiter all of the recipes used for the various dishes and dips are from the owner, who is said to be an excellent chef, and I think you’ll agree when you try it that this is authentic Mexican. They also have a few Mexican drinks, including Mexican Coke in 12 ounce bottles. The prices are very reasonable given the high-quality of the food. It’s all made to order so while it might take a few minutes longer than a typical Mexican restaurant, it’s well worth the wait. Oh, don’t forget to try the Tres Leches cake for dessert. Yum! There’s parking out front and on the side of the building.

A wonderful little spot for some great Mexican. Everything was hot and fresh and came out quick. Loved the chips and guacamole, empanadas and the tostadas! So good!

Please try this neat, small place! I love the homey feel, and the food is fantastic! The chip trio is worth it, and the plantains were exceptional! Before you go to a chain, let’s support these small businesses!!

Happy my friend shared this place with me because the tacos were so yum! Along with the chocolate flan I had for dessert. Next time I’m getting an appetizer, the trio dip to be exact because I’m an guac lover and now I’m intrigued. Definitely an authentic Mexican restaurant. Oh, to drink I had their cucumber aqua Fresca and it definitely reminded me of my childhood :’) The decor was adorable and place has an overall cozy atmosphere.

We had such an incredible dinner at Adelita! The food was so delicious and packed with flavor. Probably my favorite guacamole in the city and DEFINITELY my favorite mole sauce!
The owners are so sweet and go above and beyond with their service. You can tell how much pride they have in their family recipes.
My only negative is that they ran out of their hot chocolate and bread which I desperately need to try. Alas, we must make another trip back
Seriously though, I can’t recommend this place enough. Louisville has needed authentic Mexican food and they have nailed it. We will be back soon!!

Absolutely the best beans I’ve ever had! I’m obsessed. I would eat them on their own. The elote, chips and dip were also fantastic!
We enjoyed the chiles rellenos but were hoping for a spicier pepper. We’ll definitely be back to try more!

Adelita’s isn’t just another restaurant on Frankfort Avenue—it’s an invitation to savor the heart and soul of authentic Mexican cooking. This place is special!
From the moment you step into this cozy, welcoming space, you can feel the love that’s gone into every detail, from the freshly remodeled interior with built in wooden benches and fresh flowers to the carefully crafted dishes. My wife and I have been here for both lunch and dinner, sampling a variety of their offerings, and every single bite transported us to a Mexican village.
Let’s start with the empanadas. While not crispy, they were beautifully tender, with a soft, flaky exterior that gave way to rich, savory fillings. The trio dip—guacamole, bean dip, and salsa—set the tone for the meal, bursting with bright, fresh flavors that felt like a celebration on the palate. Then came the chiles rellenos, which stole the show with their perfect crispiness, melted cheese, and flavorful pepper stuffing. They struck that magical balance between hearty and delicate.
The Abuela’s Mole was a masterpiece—thick, velvety, and infused with layers of rich, complex spices that made every bite feel like an homage to tradition – I made tacos with the homemade tortillas and am still thinking about them. The tampiqueña was a feast for the senses: a tender steak served alongside a cheesy enchilada and refried beans, showcasing a beautiful harmony of flavors. And the tamales? Soft, fluffy, and packed with perfectly seasoned fillings, they were the very definition of comfort food.
And then there’s the drink that changed everything: Te de Fruta. This warm, fruit-infused tea was an unexpected delight—comforting, sweet, and a perfect pairing with every dish. I never knew I needed hot fruit tea with Mexican food, but now I can’t imagine enjoying a meal here without it. It’s una experiencia mágica.
The atmosphere feels like a home away from home. The sons have done a fantastic job remodeling the interior, creating a cozy yet modern vibe. With plans for a full bar and outdoor patio this spring, Adelita’s is only going to get better. Specials are handwritten on a charming chalkboard, and their homemade desserts are worth saving room for.
Special recognition goes to our server, Alexander, whose genuine warmth and care made our visits even more memorable. He truly cared about our experience and asked for feedback with a smile.
Adelita’s stands out in Frankfort Avenue’s already stellar Mexican food scene. It’s not just a restaurant; it’s a labor of love, rooted in family tradition and bursting with flavor. If you’re looking for authentic, homemade Mexican food that feels as good as it tastes, this is the place to go. Adelita’s is a rare gem—¡un lugar muy especial! We’ll be back again and again.
