Darn it!

A couple of posts have been deleted by the Mod (mine included). Apologies for overstepping the boundaries.

But anyone can PM me for details about an explanation for why Hubby & I refuse to go back.

(Mod, is this acceptable?)

Anyone can PM me as well if they want details.

Location and/or phone # for Adelita's please?

First, the server did not come to our table multiple times to ask how everything was. We never said the poppers were great, we said fine. We answered "fine" to just about everything. NOBODY took leftovers to go, that take out was ordered when the meal was ordered and before the raw shrimp was even served. The raw shrimp was brought to the attention of the server, she said she would show the cook, and she was told to please make sure the take out were all cooked thoroughly as it was going to an invalid. The person who had the flat coke received a second which was not much better, then ordered wine figuring it would be better. The hamburger was taken home to dogs, do not know if they ate it. The person who ordered that was very hungry and certainly would have eaten it if it were good. Perhaps the food is better in the evening when the chef is there, it appears to be the case. This was not in the imagination of three people. Accept it, we had a bad experience there. This is not to say you cannot improve.

ok so let me get this straight... You say: "NOBODY took leftovers to go" And then follow up with: "The hamburger was taken home to dogs"
Possible continuity problem?

Anyways. Thanks for all the constructive criticism.

What days/hours is Chef Barker cooking...Lunch?? Dinner???

There were three of us who visited Adelita's yesterday for lunch. We shared the potato skins,ng, and jalapena poppers, just ok. One person had a bacon cheeseburger, which was found to be inedible as it had a strange taste. Another had the shrimp basket, stated the flavor was good, then found a raw shrimp. The third person had ordered Coke lt, it was flat as a board. This person also ordered the marinated, grilled chicken sandwich on a baguette with pesto, lettuce tomato and onions. The chicken never saw a marinade, there was no pesto, and just a few slivers of onion and it was on italian bread. All in all, three out of three were very disappointed in what was served, and will not go there again. This was my second lunch there, last time when the other owner had it. They are serving the same mystery meat for hamburger that I had at that time, must be using the same supplier. Oh, and the waitress had a hard time understanding english although she is a gringa.

I spoke to the server who served you and apparently she went to your table multiple times asking how everything was and she was told everything was good and the poppers were great. She did say you complained about the flat Coke and it was removed from your bill without question. As for the shrimp we cook them in a deep fryer at 200 degrees Celsius, and of course we cook them all together so unless one jumped out of the fryer, which of course is impossible, I'm perplexed how 9 shrimp would cook and the 10th stayed "raw". Nonetheless, if you don't bring it to our attention how can we address the issue? The "mystery meat" is from a reputable meat importer in Guadalajara, the same place Ajijic Tango buy their meat. It's also where we get our triple 'A' rib-eye, and pork ribs. We have had many customers rave about the hamburger not sure what went wrong with yours, and again I am confused as to why if you had such a horrible experience you wouldn't tell your server. The absolute most perplexing thing is, and this actually adds a level of hilarity to the story is you took your leftovers to-go... Wow.
