   Service was adequate but the blaring bad Xmas music made it impossible to talk and when mentioned to manager, he just laughed. Like I was joking or maybe he couldn’t hear anymore

   Here’s the revised review: I had an excellent experience overall at Elena’s! The drinks were fantastic, and the atmosphere was perfect. The bartender was awesome—super attentive and friendly. The busboys were amazing, going above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Honestly, they gave me better service than my waitress, who wasn’t quite on the ball. While her service left something to be desired, the rest of the staff really stepped up and made it a great night. Big thanks to the team at Elena’s for making it memorable!

   The chicken fajitas I had for brunch were absolutely amazing—bursting with flavor and served in a wonderfully generous portion. The drinks were perfection, a true 10/10, with the tres leches martini stealing the show. It was so irresistible, I just had to indulge in a second one. I can’t wait to come back and experience dinner here!

   Fourth time I’ve been there. Had something different each time I’ve come and have enjoyed everything. The staff is wonderful and I’m looking forward to coming back again soon.

   The first hostess ( young girl) made us wait as she talked on phone even though tables were ready. My waitress never brought me a soda water which I asked for to add to my $20 cocktail that was too sweet. She was too busy. Heard her say she needed a break. She should have taken one.

   Sorry to give our experience such a low rating. The restaurant is very beautiful and the holiday decorations were gorgeous. That said, the food did not live up to other reviews we had read. The dough for the empanadas and the crepe used on the tacos were very tough and difficult to cut with a knife; the pepper in the chile rellenos was not cooked through (it was raw) and the spicy margarita was overly sweet. Don't think we will return.

   Beautiful restaurant. Great service. 4 of us dines. Guacamole had sour taste. Three of us returned main entree. Chiles Rellenos ice cold inside. Our steak fajitas had to also be returned as we ordered rare, were given well done. Were happy to redo and was perfect. Gracious hospitality.

    interesting place for mexican food, varied menu. fresh ingredients. nice environment. great service. good bar drinks. chips and chile relleno had an oily off taste. salsa excellent for chip dipping but a hotter one is really needed for food. good bit not great place.
