   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.

   This is my 4th time to Elena's as I brought a friend along to celebrate his birthday and he's never been there. Our waitress was very attentive and checked in on us frequently. The thin chips were filled generously and they were delicious. We shared a Caesar's salad, it was good and easily shared by 2. He liked his chicken enchiladas. I tried the carnitas tacos $16 and came with 2. I asked for hard shell tacos and not the soft tacos. The carnitas was too dry and bland even with the guacamole, it didn't wow me. The meal with one coffee was over $70. They do charge a 5% health mandate on the bill.

   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.
