Adelita’s Restaurant

While traveling through Lucerne Valley I stumbled across this Mexican Restaurant and let me tell you I was truly pleased with the service, food, and staff. Ordered the Chili Colorado Burrito and it was about as authentic as you can get. My server was pleasant and friendly and I even got to meet and speak with the Gentleman cooking all this great food. I was happy to hear that Adelita’s has another restaurant on 7^th st in Victorville, I’m looking forward to checking that place out as well. Bottom line… if your out for a scenic drive in the High Desert be sure to stop off at Adelitas on Hwy 18, one of the best in the High Desert.

Stopped in for Sunday night dinner on our way to Big Bear. Absolutely delicious food served by the sweetest waitress you could ask for!
The fish tacos are breaded and deep fried to order and they are fantastic! One of those meals you fight to finish after your full just because it’s so damn good. My daughter had flautas and they were fresh made too.
At 8pm on a Sunday, you’re grateful to find anything open when you travel and this was truly a gem. Next time we travel this way, I will deliberately plan to eat here.

Great Mexican food in Lucerne Vally. We called twenty minutes ahead for group of 25 they were great

I have eaten a LOT of fajitas in my life. The chicken fajitas here rank Numero Uno!!! Seriously. Perfectly cooked and still juicy, with likewise perfectly cooked peppers and onions to boot. Beans, guac, and rice are top notch. And the corn tortillas are fresh and hot.
Do yourself a favor. Eat here. It’s on fleek.

Hands down best Mexican food. I try to go at least once a week that’s how good it is. everyone try this place u will not regret it.

We stop here frequently as we pass through to get to Johnson valley. Everything about this restaurant is quality. The service, the food, the restaurant itself. I’ve never ordered anything I didn’t like. This place always makes me feel better after a long weekend in the desert.

Fajitas, taco salad, chips and salsa were good; Portions were generous. Refried beans lacked seasoning.
The waitress was nice until the manager told her to refuse the coupon we got from
; then she suddenly forgot how to speak English, turned her back, and walked away while we were still talking to her. The coupon was the only reason we went 20 miles out of our way to try this place.
After some discussion with the manager, he decided to give us the discount anyway.
Would have been a nicer Sunday afternoon out without the drama.

A nice little Mexican food restaurant in a remote little area. Perfect for the trip up to Big Bear. They have the usual Mexican menu but what I enjoy the most is the albondgas soup, it’s delicious. The employees are nice and the place is clean.

A great place to stop. Authentic Mexican food and fast service. Four of us ordered different things and we were all happy. We read some bad reviews but tried it anyway and we want to say different.

This place is DEFINITELY worth the short drive from Apple Valley, Victor Valley College & Spring Valley Lake area. By far the BEST Mexican restaurant in the valley! The burritos are substantial, the nachos & the fajitas very good. Can’t wait to try more in the future!

I’ve eaten here many times and the food was ok but not great. Chips and salsa were always good though.
What did me in was when the owner bragged to us about his 300 cocks he raises and sells for $ 1000 a piece and the pit bulls he dumped when they killed some of his cocks. That was it for me. I’m not going to support a business that supports something such as cockfighting.

Takes a special kind of place to get me to review from my phone, but have to do it. I so wanted to support a local business but when they give you the double whammy of crappy food and a server who won’t look you in the eye (on a Sunday afternoon when you are quite literally the ONLY customers), well, I feel I have to do a service to other travelers down this road. Do yourself a favor and keep driving on towards civilization just another 20 minutes. If you are an enchilada fan like I am, you will understand… a cold plate of chintzy portions and UNMELTED shredded cheese inside! Sent it back in disgust… If you are desperate, my 3 year old ate her whole $ 5 dollar plate of (melted) cheese enchiladas with fries. Hubby gives the chile relleno burrito 2 stars.

Just beware ~ they refuse to honor their burrito lunch special, that is posted outside, if you don’t mention it to them before you place your order. (Many times at other establishments servers will let you know if they have a special that you could use. I really appreciate that good service.) I wonder too if they refuse their happy hour special if you don’t mention it before you place your order.
The service is always very slow.
The food is above average good.

Highly recommended, stopped by for the first time on the way home from Twentynine Palms. Service was outstanding, food very exceptional. Fresh quality ingredients from the chips & salsa to the main entrees. Husband ordered Tricolor enchilada with rice and beans, I ordered the Camarone Rancheros with rice and beans. We ordered the tortilla soup instead of salad which was amazing. Truly a gem in and worth checking it out.

I would like to give this place a higher rating based on a previous visit, but this last time was a one star visit. The chips are always fresh, but the guacamole was so salty we couldn’t eat it. We told the waiter and he brought a fresh bowl and it was just as bad… we were charged for both as well!
We both ordered burrito’s and after the first bite it seemed like just as much salt was added to those as well.
Very unimpressed with Adelita’s this last time and I don’t think we will be going back anytime soon, actually probably never!

full bar. guacomole on point. salsa on point. chips on point. Okay… must i continue…
This place is LEGIT.
Great service. Authentic Mexican food. I would eat here again.
Great margaritas!!!
I rarely eat Mexican food at restaurants cos home cooking is best but this is pretty good!!! Try it.
Jukebox filled with Marachi awesomeness.

Adelita’s is a solid 4 star restaurant. My husband loved his taco/​chile rellano combo and the rice and beans. My potato taco was good, but I felt the beans had too much lard. Salsa was delicious and the chips were thin, just as I like them!
Service was attentive but I would expect nothing less since about halfway through our meal we were the only ones there.
Our only complaint is that you have to pay for refills of chips and salsa. Kind of ridiculous.

Drove 26 miles from Big Bear Lake to try this place located in the middle of not much at all except desert, a gas station, a nearby Chinese restaurant.
Tried the Chile Colorado plate: Pork in a red sauce, rice, beans, tortillas, with a cup of albondigas soup. Everything was quite tasty.
If you happen to be driving through Lucerne Valley with a yearning for Mexican, this is your only choice. You could do worse.

We were driving by just in time for lunch, and decided to stop there. Excellent food! My wife got a chicken burrito, and she said the chicken filling was one of the best she ever had; extremely juicy, soft and tasty. I had a cheese enchilada, and it was definitely one of the best ones I’ve had. Even the refried beans were classes above other mexican restaurants.
We would wholeheartedly recommend this for anyone in search of good mexican food.
