They have great beans and steak here - delicious. Place was really clean inside. Our new spot for Mexican food.

I have been coming here since they opened more than 10 years ago and it only got better. Love all their dishes and their decor. When you eat at a Mexican place the green salsa is the give away that they know what they are doing. Green salsa doesn't have avocado mixed in btw. Theirs is truly the real deal. Recommend this place to vegans because Mexican food is not just Carne asada and tortillas!

Coming to Adelita’s Taquería, Restaurant & Bar in San Jose, CA for over 23 years, all the way from Castro Valley, and still experiencing the same—if not better—seasoning on their super carne asada tacos says everything. Yesterday, my wife and I went back and enjoyed those tacos together, and just like every other time, they were absolutely incredible. The drive from Castro Valley isn’t short, but the moment you take that first bite, you’re reminded why it’s always worth it. Even now, just thinking about those tacos makes my mouth water. Adelita’s doesn’t simply serve 🇲🇽 Mexican 🇲🇽 food — they deliver high-end Mexican cuisine. Every dish is packed with flavor, quality, and authenticity that you can taste in every bite. On top of the amazing food, Alma, our server, went beyond our expectations. Her warmth, attention, and genuine care made us feel truly welcomed and elevated our entire dining experience. And the bar? Absolutely outstanding. Robert, the bartender, crafted some incredible drinks that paired perfectly with the food. The quality, balance, and presentation of the cocktails were top-tier and made the evening even more memorable. If you’re looking for real Mexican food done right—exceptional dishes, amazing drinks, and service that truly stands out—this is the place. Highly recommended. Adelita’s is a must-visit, no question about it. 🌮🍹🔥

This place is awesome. I just had their burrito and their torta and it was amazing. Thank you to Patty the owner. She was awesome.

just had the most amazing Carne Asada tacos! They put so much meat in them. I think I might be spoiled now trying to go anywhere else to get tacos… The meat was super tender and all the seasons were amazing! I can’t wait to go back for some more another day. five star rating? No way I give this a five tacos rating 🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮

We took a seat in the restaurant and our waiter Joseph immediately approached us with menus and water. A couple minutes later he came back with chips and an assortment of salsa. He was polite and attentive, two things you want when dining out. We ordered drinks first and they were impressive, one of them that stood out was the Chavela Camaron, please see picture, it came with the largest shrimp I have ever seen on a cocktail. The food arrived and I enjoyed the Camarones a la diabla. If you like spicy food, this is a dish you have to try. It had me sweating just three bites into my meal.

We had a great time, and this is the best Mexican place we’ve been to here. Wife and I came for a date on a Saturday. The margaritas were easily the best margs we’ve had in the area since coming here a year ago. The food was 5 star for the price. It had a great local feel to it, it’s not a chain, this is a real family owned style Mexican restaurant. We’ll be back. 100%

We recently visited this restaurant for the first time, and it exceeded our expectations. The layout is beautifully atmospheric and exudes warmth. The restaurant's patio is a standout feature, offering the perfect setting for a leisurely afternoon cocktail. The food is absolutely delicious, with authentic flavors in every bite. The servers are exceptionally friendly, and the prices are quite reasonable. We will definitely be returning!

Very authentic mexican restaurant, lot of veggie options in the menu and the portion size was huge. We tried veggie fajitas and burritos, both of them were very yummy. Drink was delicious as well. Absolutely recommend this place if you are near Willow Glen area in San Jose.

Amazing tacos and carnitas plates! Very affordable and super delicious. The staff was friendly and they had a nice outside sitting as well. Must try place in San Jose. We spent around $90 for 4 people - but that is because we ordered too much.

Great little place with an authentic flare! Self order food and bar, with a very organized process. A perfect spot to go meet up with friends and enjoy some fresh and delicious food/drink. The food wasn’t over the top flavorful, but everything was very fresh and the salsa bar is a great way to individualize based upon your own specific palate. I will be coming back to try more.

This place has incredibly delicious food, is priced very reasonably, and even at 6pm on a Saturday night there were a few tables available. I was most surprised at the tacos and how good they are - very tasty and well made, but all of the other dishes held up as well. I will definitely be coming back to try everything else on the long menu. Regarding the menu, they have a very comprehensive seafood and vegan menu! Not just one or two items, but a full list.

Really good service they have a bar also so good amount of drinks. I had two tacos with plate. And salsa and chips. The salsa and chips were really good. Tacos were OK. I had grilled chicken tacos. Might try other items next time. Ambience is really good.

Super nachos were amazing! A lot of meat and the chips were light, crispy and so tasty. The guacamole was quite good. The Cadillac margarita was really good! The super Michelada had a light spice and tasted great. We ended with the prawn quesadilla and a mushroom quesadilla. Both were tasty with a light, crispy tortilla. PLENTY of prawns and mushrooms in each. Service was a little slow BUT worth the wait. WILL be back!

I had a taco de carnita and it was absolutely delicious. Unfortunately the chille relleno was very poor. Packed with hard unmelted cheese that made for a lacking texture and flavor **revision for response: thank you for the response. Yes I did see it was made with queso fresco. Usually I find that restaurants use Monterey cheese so it melts inside. I make homemade ones at home with Monterey cheese and a hint of queso fresco ;). That's very tasty too! But It actually doesn't melt outside of the chile when fried if the chile is sealed well and gently fried. And it's Yummy when melted! :) Your carnitas are definitely delicious! Great tacos!

I am a fan of flan and the flan served here was not smooth and flawless. It was porous and kind of ruined the experience of eating it. The fajita was more of a winner, the soft tortillas and the sizzling meat made an appetizing dish. The interior has a rich color palette and there are detailed elements.

The food was delicious, but make sure you clearly ayate how you want it and make sure they hear you... My husband asked for no guacamole and it still came with guacamole on it. I asked for no onions, and mine came out with extra onions. Once corrected it was perfect. Also, we ordered 3 beverages, and they never gave us our lemonade for our son. I liked the food, don’t get me wrong, but order accuracy is a very important aspect of a restaurant experience. If our order would have come correct and not missing an item we paid for, I would have given them 5 stars. The atmosphere is beautiful. The bar is gorgeous and I loved all the authentic little figurines they had decorating the place. It’s very clean and well kept. You can tell they work hard to keep it looking nice.

The first time we had burritos from here , we really liked the places. The food was good, quantity and quality! But the second time, especially the veg burritos was so small, missed Mexican rice. Honestly I would like some consistency in food quantities!

First time I came here was wonderful some of the best Mexican food. This is my second time with my family and the burrito tortilla looked raw and had to send it back to grill it. And the tamarind agua fresca tasted like product cleaner, with the smell that you smell in the restaurant that they clean with. And the horchata just tasted like plain milk with no cinnamon. Very sad will not be coming back again or recommending it to anyone. I will very nice people working and good atmosphere.

First time. Went because it got 4+ stars, but was just simply disappointed. The waitress was a super nice person with wonderful smelling perfume. She was quite helpful when we ordered. The atmosphere seemed cozy but spacious. No one acknowledged us for atleast 15 mins, which was quite annoying. Eventually had to walk up to counter and ask where to sit and how to order etc. Food was not homemade tasting. Semi warm. Free Chips and 2 salsas and quacamole was a nice touch. It was tasty but salsas were on the hotter side. My plate ... enchilada and tamale topped with Green sauce... luke warm. Sauce straight from a can. No flavor. Something was missing. Rice tasted like an instant bag rice and was just barely warm and beans from a can? Would have been better with some cheese on top. Other plate was Chicken flautas (taquitos)... with rice and beans. Flautas/ taquitos the chicken inside was so dry and had NO flavor or taste. Chicken was not thru the length of tortilla. I expected more so when it didn't happened... just had to write a real review. *******Update****** Got reply from someone... who was not too nice. Obviously upset. Talked about French Fries with Ketchup... we DID NOT order French Fries. Wrong people. Just wrote our Honest opinion on what happened and what we actually ate.
