This authentic Puerto Rican family restaurant is located in the heart of one of the original Puerto Rican neighborhoods in Manhattan, the Lower East Side (now often known as Alphabet City). The specialty at Casa Adela is rotisserie chicken, and the aroma of garlic and roasted poultry is in the air walking by this quaint restaurant. Owner Adela Fargas makes fresh-fruit milkshakes and juices behind the counter and often goes so far as to have pasteles made for her in Puerto Rico and then flown here.
