   First time dining here. Went with a friend for a late lunch and had an amazing time. The service was top-notch! We ordered 3 things to share, and the pacing was perfect: slow yet attentive. The Trio of Tostadas was delicious, can’t even pick a favorite between the ahi, halibut and crab. The veggie tacos (roasted mushrooms and butternut squash) were amazing. We ended with the Chile Relleno Plate, which was good but not outstanding (compared to the rest). Highly recommend The Spicy marg. Will be back.

   Made a reservation and got sat down. We sat there for 20 min before someone finally came over to take greet us. It’s a beautiful restaurant and the food was good but the service was definitely not up to par

   Very noisy. Got tired of trying to hear friends’ conversation as the evening progressed. Food was good but nothing spectacular. The chips and salsa were the highlights. I had the Chile Colorado pork stew and the Tres Leches dessert. Dessert presentation was beautiful. Service was attentive and friendly.

   It’s so hard to find an exceptional dining establishment nowadays. Elena’s is my dining go to since February 2024. It was a fluke that I came upon this amazing place. The ambiance is so warm and inviting and classy. Everyone that interacted with us was friendly and professional and knowledgeable. We love the frozen margarita and the coconut margarita. The guacamole is fresh,chunky and delicious. The gobernado looked amazing and I will order that item in the future. Chicken quesadilla was perfect, loaded with chicken and perfectly crispy tortilla. Fish tacos looked great also and you know that we eat with our eyes first. The food presentations were all exceptional. Our server Kayla B. made us feel welcome and her timing for service was perfection. She made our entire meal from start to finish an amazing dining experience. My guests were very happy with Elena’s. Professionalism isn’t running rampant in our industry anymore and she is a breath of fresh air. The entire team, front and back of house(open kitchen) is awesome! Thank you once again for a phenomenal experience.

   Very good food and excellent service. Noisy level a bit on high side. Beautiful interior decor.

    The food was excellent My only problem was one of the hostesses must have walked past our table with her iPad 5 times to see if we were done eating. We arrived at 5:10pm for a 5:00 reservation as I didn’t know parking would be a challenge. We finished our meal and paid by 6:55pm. The hostess did not need to check out where we were with our dining 5x, it was very distracting. That being said, the food was delicious and I definitely will return but give myself more time to find parking.
