About the restaurant
Our gastronomic proposal endures the use of Mexican products, and local and seasonal ingredients from Valle de Guadalupe and the coast of Ensenada. The seasons of these products are what set the tone for the creation of new dishes.
The inspiration comes from Mexican culture and cuisine, adding creativity and openness to techniques and preparations from other cultures, resulting in a menu designed to be enjoyed by all.

About the restaurant
Elena is a gastronomic project under the concept of cuisine from the ground floor, in an environment
of comfort where diners can enjoy an extremely pleasant experience and
within a fun and relaxed atmosphere.
The restaurant offers a menu where our respect and appreciation for local ingredients is reflected, always using the freshest and best quality ingredients. The result is dishes created using a mix of influences from traditional and contemporary cuisines.
We ensure that the best accompaniment to our cuts of meat and seafood is, without a doubt, a good glass of wine. Our wine list is made up largely of wines from the Valle de Guadalupe, consistent with the idea of ​​taking advantage of the region's product. Or if you fancy something more refreshing, we have a House Mixology menu from the most experimental and avant-garde to classic cocktails.

We loved Elena’s! The ambiance was great and the food amazing!!! My husband had a steak and mushroom and he said it was delicious, I had pasta in mushrooms and shrimp added.. the sauces were to die for. we finalized with a tres leches cake and some Carajillos. I had the mazapán and my husband had the Chocomenta carajillo both of them were amazing! I definitely would recommend this place. Our server was very educated on all the meals and he explained how everything was made.

About the restaurant
IF YOU CAN'T FIND A SPACE, CONTACT US BY WA +526462374415
A place to enjoy wine, food and music. The architecture embodies the visions of psychedelic and surrealist illustrator Jaime Zuverza, their images were externalized via a vernacular and organic technique called ferrocement. Our bar integrates more than 60 labels of wine from Baja, wine by the glass, cocktails, crafted drinks and café.
Our unpretentiously, unostentatious but luscious kitchen celebrates local produce and farmers. We cook accordingly to seasons therefore we are moved by the nostalgia our traditional Baja food was once before the boom.

The Tempura Oysters were the Absolute Best Dish we enjoyed. The Brussels Sprouts were a little over grilled . Had a slight char to the flavor. My Striped Sea Bass was Incredible. The Risotto was Perfect. Just loved our Visit. Thanks to the Chef
