The vibe is awesome and the food is great. Very cozy and feels like your mommy food.

I have behaved to my island, the food is very delicious! Puerto Rican 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Great staff, awesome food, friendly patrons, can’t go wrong here

Food never disappoints. Service is impeccable with a familial atmosphere.

Ordered 3 beef empanadas and got 3 chicken. Werent that great. Still unable to locate good empanadas in this area.

Fat Joe sent me the best Puerto Rican food in all of New York

The most delicious, authentic Puerto Rican food in the city. New York’s best kept secret if you ask me!

When You know Spanish food then you just know, especially home-made beans, NOT from the can, "Casa Adela's" got it, cooks just like Mom, no one can beat that!!!

Everything I’ve tried has been delicious. One of the few authentic Puerto Rican restaurants left in NYC.

Instagram put me on & now I ❤️♥️💙💜Love Love going here u definitely pushing it showing up a hour before think you bout to get chicken or yellow rice but worth coming back to get it. In kitchen they definitely know what they doing

First time at Casa Adela, I follow them on IG and I was around the area and decided to come today! Best decision I made the food was everything Felt like I was eating at Abuela house in PR. The pork chops, rice and plantains were everything and we can’t forget the salad with avocado and Kola Chamapgne! Happy they stayed opened and will be back!

Always nice to try something new , my first time to have Puerto Rican food , will back again.

Best Puerto Rican food I’ve ever had. Food is consistent across the board! The chicken is juicy af, the pernil is falls apart, and the pork chops are the perfect balance of crispy and tender. The tostones are a must with any meal. The pastelitos go hard EVERY TIME! But my absolute favorite menu item are the habichuelas, comfort never tasted so good!

Childhood memories with this food. Just like my abuela made…. New customer for life

Wow the island of Puerto Rico in this rest. Food was amazing

I been to a lot of Puerto Rican restaurants, in the Bronx, Florida and in Puerto Rico. This hands down gotta be in the top two. The food just brings backs those grandmas home cooking vibes. Like the food is special. The sorrelos were nice with guava and cheese inside. Can't wait to go back. And they even had pastelles.

Overall one star. There’s only one restroom. Which needs a key to enter. Waiting to get in was torture, you don’t know if it’s busy and you can’t wait near by the door which leaves it open for someone to cut in which is what happened. The waitress knocked over a glass jug of water that shattered and spilled cold water over my child. And lastly they don’t accept card cash only. It’s 2024 and they don’t take credit card. The food was good not great but to go next door to pay for ATM transaction fees to pay my Bill, just out of inconvenience I couldn’t find it just to leave a tip. Will not return and don’t recommend.

I have no words to describe the wonder I experienced in that place, from the moment you arrive it is a place that embraces you, welcomes you! The food was super delicious. When I finished lunch I told the lady, let me pick up and wash up! It's like being at home. Thank you for maintaining the tradition for so many years.

Loved! Authentic Puerto Rican 🇵🇷 cooking! Everything was delicious

Excellent authentic Puerto Rican Cuisine. Very small Eat in option with no air conditioning. However still Worth the trip for the food and excellent service.

The food was delicious, very flavorful. It was hard getting the staff’s attention but they were very busy.

Food was awesome. Service like going to a friend's house it takes a little while but it's worth the wait.

Amazing food and service. Bring cash!

Delicious food! Great service! Really good price.

Being and eating with family. They are the best in the neighborhood ❤️‍🔥📢🚨🇵🇷💯👊🔥

This is the finest Puerto Rican cuisine in NYC!!!! The rice🍚and beans 🫘are fantastic and the rotisserie chicken 🐔 is the best I've ever had!!😋 Wonderful service too! Boriqua posse forever 🇵🇷

Ordered half a chicken. Waiter came out with chicken and rice and beans. Assumed they came complementary, but was charged anyways, despite explaining I didn't order the item and thought it came together.

Right in the heart of Loisaida and Ave C (aka, "Alphabet City"), en el bajo Manhattan, you definitely feel at home with good old home-like cooking at Casa Adela's Restaurant. Great food like Sancocho, Pernil y Arroz con Habichuelas, Pollo Asado, y Bistec Encebollado, among other delicious dishes. A quaint and family oriented spot. You won't be disappointed.

First of all it’s too hot for any restaurant to not have an AC and secondly it’s 2024 what kind of place only takes cash. I don’t hold cash. Money is dirty and carries way too many germs. They should get out of the Stone Age and update their methods of taking payment

i love the place and the workers theyre so nice and respectful. the atmosphere is very cultural

We came on a Sunday around 2pm. The restaurant was packed with people from all cultures and everyone seated seemed to be enjoying their meals. I was so excited to eat here that I couldn’t even decide what to order. We ordered to go. We ordered the rotisserie chicken, pernil, arroz con gandules and potato salad. Everything was delicious, perfectly seasoned and fresh. Must try location. Authentic Puerto Rican food with old school New York vibes in the cafe.

Great food, half chicken was the best I’ve ever had. Highly recommend for anyone visiting!!

I went to brunch with my friend. We got there around 1:00 and they were sold out of all the Puerto Rican favorites. alcapurías and zurullitos

The place is small with a few tables but the food is great

Really good food, the lady treated us like her nephews!

The best Puerto Rican restaurant!! Everything out of the league, a very good place to enjoy with the family

Cashier staff got a bad attitude. Got served a cuban sandwich that was clearly burned and overdone to the point that they decided to turned it some type of roll. Don't recommend this place at all. Plenty of other places around the area with pleasant staff and nicer food. Don't go here if you have decent and reasonable expectations which they clearly don't deliver. Basic basic and poor service!!

Comfort food and reasonable price! Cash only

Service was amazing! Food was spot on!

The food here is AMAZING!! Staff is friendly, polite, and the price not so bad...Go see it for yourself

Casa Adela will always be one of my favorite comfort food places in the city! A must especially if you’re visiting for the first time!

It was worth every penny if you're a lover of Latin cuisine you'll in joy a sit down family and friends. 🍽 .

Home cooking. Everything is delicious.

This was one of the best authentic Puerto Rican foods I’ve had. Everything was a hit. Don’t even question coming here just go !

Someone told me this restaurant had delicious food. Well I was so so so disappointed with the food. The arroz con Gandules was bland. The half chicken had no taste. Let's talk about the flat disgusting alcapurria that they re fried and was greasy with no meat

Simply the best. This family owned restaurant has been around since I was a kid and let me tell you from the minute you walk in to this amazing place you know and when you know you know it’s gonna be good. This was my favorite part of my visit back home. The owner Maritza was amazing super sweet and true Newyorican! Family owned and run it is a place you want to visit. You won’t regret it. Amazing food amazing service. I felt like I was at my Tia’s house eating the best place simply the best. Too bad I have to go back home but I’ll sure be back!!!!!

This Puerto Rican eatery is a true find, bringing an authentic taste of the island's cuisine right to your local area. With just six tables, this intimate restaurant can get quite busy. Though there is no physical menu at the establishment, you can easily view their selections on Google. The roasted pork and octopus salad are standout dishes, expertly prepared and full of flavor. With over 44 years of culinary experience, it's evident they've mastered their offerings. The restaurant exudes a nostalgic charm, reminiscent of 1980s Puerto Rico, complete with handwritten receipts and waitstaff calling out orders. The attentive team is eager to help you navigate the menu and ensure a delightful dining experience. Just remember to bring cash, as it is the only accepted form of payment here.

The waitress was very sweet. The sancocho was a very generous portion with big chunks of yuca and potato, extremely well seasoned. The pernil was tender, crispy skin, and plenty of meat with enough fat. The rice and red beans were both also very well seasoned. Everything was affordable and delicious and I want to come back again

Please get their pasteleon, sancocho soup, rice & peas! Sooo gooooood damn divine and delicious! Everything was delicious (rotisserie chicken tostones, chuleta), but the above items were one of the best I have eaten!

Honestly the best Puerto Rican food I’ve had in this city, and I’m Puerto Rican. The spot is casual and has all the basics you’d want. The mofongo con pernil and the bistec encebollado stole the show. They were cooked perfectly. We were absolutely stuffed but decided to try the flan based on how good everything else was. It was incredible - it might be the best flan I’ve ever had. Can’t wait to bring my family here. Also they do have pasteles, but only frozen to go! And don’t forget it’s cash only.

the food was awesome the service was great everything we tried was sooo good can't wait to go back.

Randomly found this place by zooming in on google maps….did not disappoint. Go here. Ordered the Mofongo with a side of pernil 🤤 service was great and super friendly.

Thoroughly enjoyed the food. Taste was on point and made me think of my mothers cooking and Puerto Rican food in general. We were attended by a great group of guys and the food came out nice and hot. Just delicious. Guaranteed you will enjoy your visit and dining at Casa Adela.

🇵🇷 All the food was great especially the Mofongo! It seemed like I entered a portal and arrived in Puerto Rico! 🇵🇷

Casa Adela never disappoints. The food is scrumptious!

Hospitality as if you are eating at your own home. The story behind it says you made the right choice. May God bless this business for generations and generations to come. The food is on point!

I felt like my grandmother was cooking great yuca

Excellent service, good food, everyone very friendly.

The Pasteleon and fried pork chops are amazing. The pork chop well season not salty and not dried. The pasteleon reminded me of my abulitas cooking.

I only ordered what my grandmother would make so that I could compare and have that home-cooking comfort! Nothing is ever as good as grandma’s cooking, but needless to say this is close #2!!! Arroz con gandules, mofongo with pernil, and alcapurria was my favorite but you cannot go wrong with anything. A small, cash only place that has a true homey neighborhood feel. Just waiting to go back!

This Puerto Rican restaurant is a true gem, offering an authentic taste of the island's flavors right in your neighborhood. With only six tables, this small restaurant can get pretty crowded. While there's no printed menu at the restaurant, you can easily find their offerings on Google.

The food is Delicious.Great atmosphere, feels like your really getting that home cook meal, from your Favorite Aunt or Even Mom.

Incredible place, delicious food, it is a small space so I recommend going with a willingness to wait, but it is 100% worth it.

All we kept saying was OMG!!!! Best PR food we had in a very long time. Worth every penny. The mofongo is a must!!!

The food here is amazing. The service is a bit slow at times but this is real Puerto Rican food I love this place

One of the best if not the best Puerto Rican food in Manhattan. The kan kan chop is delicious, and enough for two people. And the alcapurrias are always a must.

Great food and great service!! Small spot which makes it cozy and personal.

Delicious food, with aromas that bring you in from the street! Lovely family restaurant, consistently good, friendly and welcoming. The Chicharron de Pollo are the best, perfect seasoning, crispy and delicious, served with fresh lemon.

Small but comfortable. Food is delicious.

Never even knew chicken could be made into chicharron. I'm sold. Place is on the smaller side, but the food is everything I would have ever wanted. The wait might get a little long so be prepared if coming at busy times.

Great tasting PR food. The best I have had in a long time. Stop in you won't be disappointed. Be prepared to wait for a table is a small little place with a big punch of taste😍👍😋

Me and my family got food poisoning 3-1-2024 they were so busy the food was contaminated

Good food. Big portions. Fast service. Just wish its bigger and offer more seats

Delicious, describes the food and fantastic describes the overall experience! It is rather small with limited tables so there may be a wait before being seated. In spite of the wait, the tasty dishes makes it worth it!

Last night, my family and I had take out from Casa Adela. They were so satisfied with their meals that they got nostalgic. They reminisced about my deceased grandmother’s food. A few of them had tears in their eyes as they enjoyed their meals. I can’t help but think Casa Adela’s food is a masterpiece that evokes intense emotions and beautiful memories 💜 ¡Gracias y buen provecho a todos!

Delicious authentic Boricua Food! Great service and atmosphere! Feels like you’re at home 🫶🏼

Authentic Puerto Rican food just like from the island. Everything we tried was A1

So good. I think that the sancocho is one of my favorite soups in the city. They have large portions, every entree comes with plenty of rice and beans. When I’m really hungry I get a sancocho and a pollo guisado. Just one entree is enough for a meal most of the time though. This is a great place to go with others to eat family style / share a couple appetizers and entrees.

Bring cash. Drove down 45 minutes to discover the restaurant ONLY takes CASH. Maybe next time we are in the city we can taste it out.

I've never had a problem with the food but the service is HORRIBLE! Whether it's eating in or taking out, the service is HORRIBLE!!!!

This spot is DELICIOUS!! All the food was on point!. So if you’re looking for a grandma type of food, this is the spot! Everything was AMAZING!

The best Puerto Rican food!! The Mofongo. Is the best. Everything is good!!

waited over an hour for food after ordering. had high hopes and was very disappointed by the service. food is incredible though, devoured our entire order

Best chicharon de pollo ever! So tasty! Everything was so delicious! And that flan 🤤🤤🤤 so glad to finally find an authentic Puerto Rican Restaurant in NYC there are not that many left 😞

I ordered mofongo w/ shrimp with garlic sauce. The mofongo was too dry not even the sauce moist it up..

Excellent food and service. Amazing prices.

excellent service and spectacular food

My buddy dated a Puerto Rican girl for one night and she raved about this place, so I had to check it out. Wow. What an establishment this is. I feel as though I walked through some sort of worm hole into what I think an authentic hole in the wall restaurant in Puerto Rico would be. No flash, all character and delicious food. For $12.50 you get half a chicken, and two sides that are bigger than my head and I have a HUGE head. It is quite literally 2 meals in one, I can't eat the whole portion in a sitting. This essentially comes out to $6.25 a meal, which rivals some TJ's froz-- Wait did you hear that.................yeah I think I did t-- INFLAAAAAATION BUUUUUSSTTTEEERRRRRR!!!! The chicken is tender, juicy, and rich in flavor while essentially falling off the bone. The yellow rice and beans were everything I could have hoped and dreamed. I absolutely love this place and have been back 3-4 times since I first went. ALPHABET CITY STAND UP!!!! IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov__

Uno de los mejores restaurantes de la ciudad, bueno, bonito y barato!! El servicio muy rápido y amable

The foods delicious, the service can be better, the lady waitress with green eyes always seems stressed out. It's a very small place had to wait outside for 1hr 30m in 24° weather, the food is worth wait just wish the place was bigger to accommodate more people.

This restaurant is the last of the mohicans. Great Puerto Rican spot in alphabet city. I had the sancocho on this trip but I've had the pernil before. Small restaurant but tasty food!

every dish here is amazing. I love dining at this restaurant. It truly tastes like home. This place never disappoints. I love their business model and I hope they stay in the neighborhood forever.

We had the pleasure of dining at their restaurant before, where the food impressed us. When we reached out for catering at our baby shower, they not only met but exceeded our expectations. The exquisite food truly made our event extra special. Thank you immensely for your outstanding service.

Delicious and authentic Puerto Rican food! We had the guava & cheese sorullos and the beef alcapurrias which were fresh, crispy and right like the ones in the Island. The Carne Guisada is simply outstanding, very tender, rich in flavor. The stewed pink beans are great. We also had the bacalao a la vizcaína and loved it. Every single thing we ordered we enjoyed and fully recommend. The portions are very generous too and the prices very fair. For any homesick Boricuas in NYC, Casa Adela is better than many criollo restaurants in PR. Please note that the restaurant is small with about 6 or 7 tables and CASH ONLY. Truly a gem in NYC

Great pasteles & arroz con gandules

DELICIOUS AUTHENTIC 🇵🇷PUERTO RICAN🇵🇷FOOD BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE WONDER CUSTOMER SERVICE

This place is so good! Others have said it's like grandma's cooking and they are not lying. We waited in the rain for a usable and it was totally worth it. We had the chicken stew, beef stew, pork plate, and mofongo. Everything was good!

The food at Adela’s is excellent. It is one of best Puerto Rican cuisine in the city. I love it.

Incredible food! The best black beans I've ever had. The Cubano was delicious and the chicken noodle soup was incredible. Definitely going back here for a great vibe and friendly service.
