The charming La Adelita Restaurant in Woodside, Queens is the realization of Chef María Iglesias’s determination and passion for the culinary arts. Born and raised in beautiful Puebla, Mexico, Chef María brings more than 20 years of experience in the hospitality industry to bear as owner and the brilliance of family Mexican food recipes passed down through generations of her family to your dining experience. When you sit down to begin your meal, you might want to start off with huaraches as an appetizer. This is a long, homemade corn tortilla topped with beans, lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream, and your choice of meat (chicken, steak, sausage, salted beef, spicy pork or carnitas). You can’t pass up the fresh guacamole, though, or the maduros (fried sweet plantains). Don’t forget to enjoy the best margaritas in town while you eat! For an entree, you may select from a variety of delicious burritos, enchiladas, tacos, tortas, cemitas, quesadillas, soups and salads. And you must leave some room for a traditional Mexican dessert (how can you say no to flan—a light, caramel-glazed Mexican egg custard?). There is also a kid’s menu, and several vegetarian options if you are foregoing meat. For example, you may order the enchiladas vegetarianas, which feature corn tortillas stuffed with boiled vegetables in red or green sauce, topped with onions and cheese. Chef María is committed to exceptional quality and uses only natural ingredients and spices that are imported straight from Mexico. The dishes she creates are fresh and uniquely flavorful, giving diners an opportunity to relish an authentic Mexican dining experience with the best Mexican food in Queens.
