La Adelita — Restaurant in Quintana Roo

Great food, but a little underwhelming! We were seated quickly when we arrived, Drinks order was taken promptly, then our food order shortly after. There was a fabulous Mexican style salad bar, although strangely not a single jalapeño in sight to feast on before main courses. The nachos were nice (albeit missing jalapeños) with the fresh salad, salsa, and sauces. We waited what felt like an hour to be served our main course, we had Yucatan pork, which came in flour tortillas, but would have been much nicer with rice. We also tried the prawn burrito and the enchiladas (which were drowning in sauce). The atmosphere was lacking, with tables being entertained by their waiter or themselves, while we were pretty much ignored by ours. Finally to finish, dessert came out quickly and prevented fewer stars given, as it was amazing! The music was random and irrelevant. It would have been much better if it had been more upbeat and authentic Spanish / Mexican tunes. Of all the restaurants and need for a wow factor, it should have been this one... but alas, I was...

Visited for supper, and my partner and I were attended to by our server Juan. Right off the bat he was enthusiastic, gave menu recommendations, and was prompt in getting us drinks.

The food was fantastic. I can't recommend the lamb mixiote enough, and this is from someone who isn't normally a big fan of lamb. The broth was delicious, and the lamb itself was tender and flavourful.

The atmosphere was nice as well, as the restaurant had a couple of musicians to play some Mexican tunes on guitar while we ate. For those who like quiet dinners, I would say that this probably wouldn't be your scene.

All in all, I highly recommend La Adelita! One of the best meals I had during...

We were fortunate enough to be able to squeeze in a few dishes at La Adelita, a Mexican à la carte restaurant at Grand Palladium Colonial Resort in Riviera Maya, Mexico. Unfortunately, we were in a bit of a rush and missed the main dishes. Jaime, our waiter was super helpful and patient with us. He tried his best to get our dishes out as soon as possible. We had Red Fish Ceviche and Beef Tzik to start. For our soups we had Lime Soup and Tortilla Soup. The appetizers were tasty and the main dishes seemed just as promising. Currently Las Olas beach bar is converted into La Adelita in the evening so you get a beautiful view...
