Adelita's Fine Mexican Food (Sept 22nd)

*** 3 out of 5 stars***
Not as good as it once was, Adelita's still provides some good, cheap authentic Mexican cuisine. It used to be that lunch on a Friday was busy, but on my latest visit we got right in and seated. The atmospere in Adelita's is quite dark with lots of Christmas light strung all over to create laid back mood. I would prefer more lighting as it was hard to see the menus and thus limited my selection. As with most Mexican restuarants, they started us out with some chips and salsa. The chips were good, although they were cut small and the salsa was not chunky or very tomotoey. The mixture more resembled a red chilli sauce as opposed to salsa. After debating over the menu, I decided on a combo plate of a Chicken Relleno and two Enchilladas for some variety. It came with a side of rice (I would have liked beans too!). The food was pretty good, nothing to complain about - but nothing to write home about either. Tamalles are their specialty, and this was more pronounced while we were there because they had ran out. If you go, expect cheaper than usual prices and average food. If you go there for lunch on a Friday, try to get their earlier than the 12 o'clock rush.
