    Absolutely incredible! As someone who loves Mexico City and was anticipating this restaurant, they delivered! We only had drinks and apps but will definitely be coming back in for more - the A4 dumplings literally might be the best thing I’ve eaten and the pastor tacos were perfect with fresh blue corn tortillas

    Don’t be surprised by the name change to Adelitas! The service, ambience, & food quality are superb. Be adventurous & sample their gourmet variety of tacos. I had the Al pastor & fried fish ones and they were excellent. I will be returning to experience the plethora of vegetarian menu options. This restaurant certainly is a gem in Bridgeport neighborhood. Next time I will go earlier and enjoy strolling through the neighborhood. Cheers.
