Vibe
The taqueria is in a small shopping plaza and the unassuming exterior blends with surrounding businesses. A distinct roof sign welcomes diners, setting the tone for a relaxing and enjoyable dining experience.
The brightly colored walls add to the fiesta-like vibe but don’t overwhelm the senses. Instead of Mexican artwork overpowering the space, the minimal use of sombreros and small pottery adds the perfect accent to the room.
Adding to the fun-filled mood are the small, colorful banners strung overhead. Once more, the less-is-more model plays out, with the tiny flags adding a whimsical touch to the room.
The dining layout consists of standard tables and booths. Half-walls offer privacy in the open space, making the room perfect for any dining occasion.
The ambiance at Taqueria Las Adelitas is fun, and it feels like you’re in someone’s home instead of a restaurant.
Taqueria Las Adelitas: Menu & Drinks
While you can peruse the hands-on menu, you’ll also find pictures of the selections on the wall where you order.
Diners consistently praise the birria tacos for the spiced, tender meat and crispy golden tortillas. It has a rich consommé perfect for dipping and combines flavor and texture in every bite.
The California burrito will satisfy any hunger! This handheld features your choice of meat, french fries, avocado, cheese, sour cream, beans, and salsa fresca. Feel free to customize this monster with other fixings like pico de gallo, onion, or extra meat!
As promised, here is the Chiles en nogada! It is a national Mexican dish consisting of a poblano chile stuffed with picadillo (a mixture of shredded meat, aromatics, fruits, and spices.) The nogaga is a walnut-based cream sauce that covers the pepper. Topping it off are the red pomegranate seeds and green parsley, making for a Christmas-like presentation.
Those looking for something hearty should try the chicken burrito. Stuffed with tender grilled chicken, seasoned rice, and beans, it’s wrapped in a soft tortilla and comes with your choice of salsa.
Daily specials include deals on fish tacos, chili Colorado, enchiladas, and more. Additionally, the prices are a deal, and the portions are enormous!
Regarding specialty drinks, Taqueria Las Adelitas keeps the authentic vibe alive. You’ll find a selection of beers that will pair with any item and Mexican Cokes sweetened with cane sugar. The creamy horchata is a refreshing alternative, with its rice milk enhanced with cinnamon and vanilla.
All these features add to an eatery that will satisfy after a day exploring Huntsville’s attractions, like the Lowe Mill ARTS & Entertainment or the Purdy Butterfly House.
