Adelitas Cocina Y Cantina in Denver - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Fantastic food! Can get a little cramped inside but the prices are great and the food is even better! The tacos were amazing! I ordered a pastor torta and was absolutely blown away!

This place was great! As first timers, they provided us a sample of all the salsas they have. We went on taco Tuesday, which were all so yummy, and it was such a great deal! Will definitely be back.

Absolutely loved the tacos and drinks here. Perfect spot for taco Tuesday. Highly recommend the carne asada tacos and al pastor tacos (loved the carne asada so much that I got 3 of them). Also definitely recommend the Coco Morado cocktail (tequila ocho blanco, coconut, guava, lavender) and the aloe margarita (Cimarron blanco, fresh lime, aloe liqueur).

Really good Mexican food, nice portions, nice staff. Above par for your typical Denver Mexican food.

Came here because of the good reviews and they did not disappoint!!! Steak enchiladas were delicious and amazingly fast!!! The Agua Picosita cocktail was the perfect compliment!! Keep up the good work!

This place is delicious. Good is amazing, service was very nice, however, my only gripe is the size. This place is so popular, yet there's not a lot of space to sit. I'm sure there was good reason to move from downtown Littleton but this is a make downgrade. Hopefully they are able to remedy this sometime.

With all due respect doña silvia , but your restaurant it needs a lot of help , the chili rellenos were awful, like the came out of the microwave, very fluffy and flavorless, my wife hated those sopes ,very small and wet , good for a Mexican snack when you are very drunk , but not auténtica comida mexicana ,this restaurant is a shame!!!! Don’t call it a Mexican cantina , is a microwave Mexican snack restaurant!!service is very average,this restaurant needs more authenticity!!!!!!!!!

Amazing food, amazing service. Couldn't be happier. The tacos with the pineapple were incredible, and so were the chicken fajitas.

This outing was underwhelming relative to prior visits. The chips were mostly broken and the salsa was too watery. The queso was sizzling hot but we couldn’t taste the chorizo. The carne asada tasted delicious but the texture was a bit tough. When we finished eating, I noticed everyone in our party of six had only eaten half of their entree. The service was out of sync and we found ourselves waiting multiple times for our requests to be met.

I went in Tuesday evening with my husband the day after labor day and I got the worse food poisoning of my life was it the tacos or tres leche cake who knows but never again will I step foot in this restaurant again.

Excellent food and the patio atmosphere was authentic.

I have driven by this place for years and never stopped. I am glad we met friends there. The place was lively and buzzing on a Sunday evening. They had Happy Hour going and the house margaritas were strong and delicious. The ceviche was $2 off and well worth ordering. Carne asada tacos were good and the enchiladas were okay. I don't know what their signature item is, but we will go again and try other things. The vibe was energetic and fun.

Their green chile sauce is sooo good. Best enchiladas I've ever had. Their cocktails are very good too!!

Bland food, not worth the price!

Way over priced. House margaritas were $12 each, and they charge extra for a small basket of chips and salsa despite the amount spent on drinks and entrees. Child entree was a tiny quesadilla (4 chip size pieces) with rice for $8. Poor value and not so friendly wait staff.

Loving every bit of it!! Nice place to enjoy a good Plato de comida!! "Like my grandma would say"!!

Super tasty food! Service was good but not great. Food was delicious. Drinks were a little small for cost. Parking is tough but worth the search.

!!NEVER GO HERE THEY WILL STEAL YOUR INFORMATION LIARS AND THIEVES!!

Tasty food. ..not spicy enough for me

Our dinner was delicious, also their tres leches cake was the best I ever had. Great service as well. Perfect dinner before Gypsy Kings show!!!

Carne asada or bust. It's so good, and they have great taco Tuesday specials.

Small but taco Tuesday was great.

I ordered tamales and a margarita—both were delicious! Our table shared the chips and salsa flight, and everyone was happy with their meals. We arrived around 6:30 on a Wednesday & had about a 30-min wait, but once we were seated the service was fabulous and our food arrived quickly. The atmosphere is buzzing with great music and beautiful artwork all around, the prices are reasonable too. Worth the wait—will definitely be back soon!

Great happy hour and taco Tuesday specials! Quick, friendly, service and delicious salsas and sauces (get some extra ones on the side)

Amazing food and a mom and pop shop!

Absolutely delicious! Our server was Betsy (I think that was her name) awesome girl ! We got the taco Tuesday, salsa flights and the molcajete ! Best ever!

Fantastic range of tequilas and mezcals. Great tasting cocktails and menu to boot. First time visit but will definitely come back when in the Denver area again

Great local, trendy place to get tacos. Service at the bar was amazing, but the front host was very cold and impersonal.

Food was fantastic! Restaurant was beautiful! Our server Corrie S. copped an attitude with us after a mix up with how many people were in our party. Seemed negative and unhappy to help us during our time there.

Salsa was my favorite you can tell it’s homemade. I didn’t like my chimichanga but I am more of an authentic Mexican food person more than cantina. Staff was friendly and quick Just need more love for the food needs more flavor

Came here on a whim one evening and I’m annoyed I didn’t do that sooner. Great authentic food and people.

The staff and restaurant is really amazing! Food was good too, just was looking for more authentic flavors

Meet up with girlfriends and got right in at the bar! Thanks

I like mexican food But this one is another level. It's a delight. The experience was perfect. The food didn't take that long and they were always attentive. I will be back 🤙🏽

It was really amazing!!! The service was great, the food was delicious and served very fast, It was really amazing!!! I don't wait five minutes after I've ordered and the food was already on the table, incredible!!! 🤪 Higly recommended.

Average Mexican food. Service was great.

Great food! It definitely leans a bit on the saltier side for me, but everything there is delicious. The happy hour runs from 4-6 pm. We love the mezcalrita, very refreshing. Walk up is easy to get a table, even for a large group. Great for family with little kids.

Delish food, great atmosphere, and a local favorite. Which was highly recommended to us by a local. Good prices, too.

I had amazing time at adelitas. I will definitely go back!

The burritos were the best I have ever had. The family said their plates were great also. Staff was excellent.

Delicious food, great service, laid back atmosphere.

Just the best Mexican food in Denver, excellent agave cocktails, plus wonderful people.

This review is specifically based on the bathroom and NOT service or food. The bathroom was a little dirty with random trash on the floor. The toilet dispenser was empty with a random roll on top of the dispenser. One of the two toilet stalls also had trash. The feminine products were a nice touch but overall, it might be a good idea to have a staff member mini the bathroom every couple of hours or so to tidy up.

Waited about 25 minutes before getting to eat. And overall the food was very good. I just had to try the molcajete, and is it worth the price? Yes, yes it is.

From the reviews I was expecting something great. However it wasn’t. The food was a good 2/10 the sauces had absolutely no seasoning or spice to it. The enchiladas were very bland. My order of tacos came with absolutely no limes on the side (WHY WOULD ANYONE EVER SERVE TACOS WITHOUT LIMON??) When I asked my server for limes he brought 3 tiny ones and said “this is all the limes I can give you for free” So many things wrong with that sentence. Anyways… If you’re looking for a taste of authentic Mexican food you’re better off cooking at home . $60 down the drain for Sunday night dinner for me .

Nobody at our table thought the food was good. Salsa was basically tomato soup with water! Not sure why this place has so many reviews. Wouldn’t go back

Very good Mexican food. They are open late which is great.

Best Mexican food I have had. Highly recommend! The queso and tamales were amazing.

Ended up here on taco Tuesday! The lengua and carne asada tacos were yummy! A pal got a shrimp dish that was also tasty :) I wanna say, this isn't the restaurants fault, but people were SO loud. I wish there were things on the wall to absorb sound. I definitely didn't think it would be a crowd like that. They also seated us but it managed to be awkward.

Service sucks we only got checked on when we asked and it wasn’t really busy food was bland and waiters were seen in the back on there phone

The molcajete was INCREDIBLE, as were the sopes and margs!

We had a mediocre experience here. I ordered the Al pastor tacos and a cocktail. The tacos were ok, but there could have been more pineapple. There was a good amount of meat.

Qst time there. Nice vibe inside, had a very good margarita selection and the food was very good. Will definitely visit again.

Chips and salsa was good. Really liked the Pozale

Great food and margaritas. I will be back!

NO PARKING, FOOD IS OK. NOT GENUINE MEXICAN FOOD. REAL DISAPPOINTED... SO LOUD AND , DIDNT LIKE THE SET UP . DONT CARE TO GO BACK.

The Molcajete Bowl Surf and Turf is one of the best meals in Denver. Guac is on point and so so delicious. Be smarter than the average bear and go on any other day than Taco Tuesday unless you like waiting. It's worth every cent and time though. Truly a MUST HAVE!!

Waiter was a little condescending and didn’t check up on us after getting our food, let’s just say he was spicier than their spicy marg😂 and fyi make sure you ask about the price for chips and guacamole because it isn’t listed and ended up being $13… food was okay

It’s a busy place for a reason. Great location, great staff and great food.

Crazy busy but fantastic food and service. Staff (as in not just our waiter) checked on us regularly for refills and orders. House margarita was perfect, the flight of chips, salsas and extra queso were great (and refilled), and their carne asada street tacos were overflowing and just so good! Went by suggestion- so glad we did- we'll be back!

The atmosphere was good and the restaurant was crowded. When I went to eat, it was a Tuesday. The recommended menu is taco Tuesday. The food comes out quite quickly. Because it is a menu that must be made in advance in large quantities, customers arrive and order food right away. Because I had already succeeded, the menu that I ordered was quite bland, very different from what I expected. The taste was really bland. Each item is not spicy at all. Or do people here eat food that tastes like this? The outside of the shop looks dull and unattractive. But the interior is beautifully decorated. The shop was full of people and had to wait in line. Good luck on the day you go to eat. Got in line and waited for 25 minutes. But the previous queue didn't come. So we went into the store, luckily, I thought we would have to wait almost half an hour. Polite service staff

New place to visit and loved it.

The only thing better than the food at Adelitas might be the drinks. They change their drink menu up often, so it's always worth coming by to see what's new and we know we'll love dinner or lunch while we're there. The mole is fantastic and if you've left room for dessert, the flan is amazing.

Eh. I didn’t think this place was anything special.

This is one of the best places for tacos in my opinion and worth going out of your way for. I am sure all their food is delicious but I mix and match 3 tacos every visit. Carnitas and Asada both highly recommend. Generous portions with a great tomatillo salsa make this a must try place if you enjoy quality Mexican food.

Ok listen I’ve had some good tacos in my time but these tacos de asada we’re probably the best I’ve ever had im not from Denver, just passing through and you have to try this place !

Service delightful! Food and cocktails delectable! Dessert delicious! We will be back. What a great find!!

Love Adelitas! Not sure how my previous review of 3/5 stars was posted. I don't post reviews, but want to correct any misconception.

Outstanding! Bring friends so you can order a nice variety, everything we’ve ever had is excellent! As a professional chef I am sensitive to cleanliness, the kitchen was looking deeply cleaned on this and past visits (I always evaluate a kitchens clean level, even under the table legs, a cronic problem). We will be back soon!

Decent spot. Margs and Flan are both amazing. Food is good but not outstanding.

You have to eat here!!! The food is amazing 😋.

Excellent cocktails and quick service. Food was tasty but not flavourful.

Great place. Super friendly staff and amazing food. Definitely recommend!!

Carne asada was amazin! The price was great and the atmosphere was lively. Repeat customer.

Great place for good Mexican food and taps. Fortaleza available for those that like great tequilas.

Best chips and salsa! Nice and refreshing margaritas- not too sweet. The mushroom chipotle sauce and mole make a great combo on burritos!

Food was AWFUL. There was no flavor in either meals between my husband and I. The refried beans looks like they were from a packet from the dollar store. And the water had a cleaning solution taste and smell to it. DO NOT GO HERE

The food was surprisingly flavorful. I do not recommend the Tres leches though, It's way too thick and dry. Chips are thin and crispy. Salsas had a good flavor even at the least spicy. I had the veggie tacos and was impressed with the variety of veggies and the flavor combination. Lunchtime gets crazy busy and I can see why.

Their Carne Asada was so good, tamales not so much. Service was great, our waiter was cool and friendly. Note, tacos came plain (no sauce)

A little pricey but certainly delicious, been going here for years!

Authentic, with style. Very good food.

Excellent from the moment you enter. Attention, food and prices. 100 out of 100

The picture says it all. It just keeps getting better....

The food was great and the service was awesome!

Terrible terrible service. They told us 60 minutes and we watched as they seated tables ahead of us. Instead of giving a real explanation or apologizing, they made excuses and acted like we were in the wrong simply for asking. The service is terrible and if you're a party over 6, you will not be prioritized and they will have you wait close to 2 hours and seat you as you're finally leaving. Poor attitude and a general lack of accountability.

Noisy & crowded. Our waitress was inattentive.

Great little restaurant! Very busy during normal meal time. Smokey mezcal cocktails. Highly recommend. Parking is difficult in area.

Such a wonderful experience here with the food, service, and atmosphere. Walked in last minute and the staff was so accommodating from the start. The chips had the perfect crisp, and the salsa had the right zest. The drinks were refreshing, the chicken to cheese ratio on the quesadilla was on point. The carne asada torta was on fleek. But the real MVP was not Nikola Jokic, but rather our servers Andrew and Sammie. Without telling them directly, Andrew overheard there was a special birthday and surprised us with a scrumptious dessert, followed by Sammie taking lovely photos. Great recommendations and conversation from both! Andrew and Sammie, we appreciate you.

Great Mexican food on Broadway. Had the tamales, tacos and fajitas. Great Happy Hour drink specials! FAJITAS Marinated chicken, carne asada, or portobello mushrooms, sautéed with onions, zucchini, green and red peppers. Served with refried beans, queso fresco, rice, guacamole, lettuce, pico de gallo and your choice of corn or flour tortillas. Large portions! Great service.

Amazing place! The food is excellent and the chip and salsa flight is a must! Great atmosphere and very friendly staff!

This is my favorite restaurant in all of Colorado and I am a Denver Native!! It's like my childhood comfort food elevated to nostalgic perfection

Great restaurant! Love the pozole, tacos, and salsas!

our server was the nicest person ever and he made sure to constantly check on us even with the place being super busy. the service was quick and everybody was super attentive. the food was delicious. i had the pozole and my friend had the tierra, mar, y cielo molcajete and we finished both are meals. which actually came here cause my friend wouldn’t stop raving about the molcajete and they did not disappoint. would definitely recommend this place and come back.

We flew in from Iowa & we’re craving some yummy Mexican food. This hit the spot! Service was very fast & friendly. We got the fajitas & enchiladas. Wow, the food was so delicious!!!! Their carne asada meat was to die for. Perfectly cooked & seasoned.

GET THE CIELO MAR Y TIERRA MOLCAJETE! You can thank me later. Cocktails are awesome as well.

This was one of the best restaurants I've been to in the Denver area in a long time. The service was outstanding. The food was amazing and it was just a great experience.

Chips and Salsa flight was awesome. Wife had Carnitas tacos, fantastic. I had Al Pastor, Carne Asada, and Lengua tacos, all perfection. Wish we lived in Denver, would definitely be a regular spot.

Good stuff great food. Friendly environment

Jill Biden was eating there right after I left

This lil neighborhood eatery has become a regular place to visit. Always delicious, servers are always on it, and it's always full of happy foodies. It's a nice place place just to hang out for a drink, have a taco.. it's a must try if you're ever in the area.
