    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.
