    Fresh off the plane in Dallas. First things first is food! Went to Elena's Taqueria for Mexican food and was not disappointed. The Gordita was fresh, full of meat, flavorful, all the f descriptors lol. Staff were very friendly and service was quick. Will be back to try some of the other menu items soon.

    Little place but great food. People are awesome

    Stopped in-between Dr visits, first time here. People are amazing and the food is delicious. What a neat jewel of a place to frequent for lunch and more!! We will be back!

    To all the folks who were disappointed that Elena's was closed over the past few weeks you will be Delighted, they are NOW OPEN Again! Newly renovated with the delicious menu they've always served. As always it's always like visiting family here with the warm hospitality

    Not traditional Barbacoa but it was decent and tender. Potato egg cheese was good. Would probably return to try other items

    Bacon,egg and cheese breakfast tacos with fresh japs on flour tortillas!!

    Great breakfast tacos this morning. Actually all their food is top notch. They can make almost anything you want. Super Nachos are tasty, the enchiladas are very good. They have fajitas served hot and fresh. Everybody speaks English (I'm a gringo ) and are very friendly and run a clean little restaurant. I recommend them for your Mexican fix.

    Elena's is so good! A friend of mine has been coming here for a while and told me I had to try it. I'm so glad he recommended it because it is delicious. A very warm and welcoming family feel too from the team. I had the breakfast burrito and it was fresh and tasty. I'll definitely be back!

    One pollo and one al pastor
    Nicole H.

    I am always up for a hole in the wall taqueria, so when in the area and hungry for lunch, Hubby & I decided to try Elena's. It is a very small place with limited seating, but we snagged a just vacated booth and put our order in for two tacos each-two al pastor for him and one al pastor and one pollo for me. The menu was in English and it was spoken by the staff well, but the language most spoken around us was Spanish (good sign IMO). The al pastor was served street taco style and was tender and flavorful, if a tad salty. I was surprised to get cheese and lettuce on the pollo taco, but it was quite tasty-I enjoyed the meat more than the al pastor. The green sauce was flavorful and spicy-just the way I like it! Two tacos and a drink each for less than $12 makes a girl happy and I would recommend.

    Green Chilaquiles!

    Finally made it over to The Mexican and boy, a time was had!…read more Service here is top notch. From the moment I stepped in the door I was treated like a celebrity! Complimentary champagne, and AMAZING service from our waitress. I've literally never had a server with such extensive knowledge of a restaurant's menu. Very impressive! We also had a amazing experience with the manager. We needed some accommodations for our table and he was so thoughtful. He even provided us with a complimentary cuatro leches cake slice! (which was HUGE btw). While the service was exponentially excellent, the food was...good. The menu was what I would describe as "elevated Mexican" with some other Latin-inspired steakhouse dishes (think filet mignon with some salsa on the side) Everything was good, but nothing really stood out for me. One more thing, lots of good people watching lol! Dallas ladies love a to dress up and I saw so many fabulous looks on my recent visit. Great place for a date night or dinner with your girls. Highly recommend! Beautiful space with fantastic service!

I have been coming here for a few years now and have always had a very good experience every time. Parking is always good and available, even when they are busy. The restaurant itself is always clean and orderly. And the staff is always friendly and efficient. My favorite go-tos are the Queso Blanco and the Chicken Fajitas. The Queso is second to none. The Chicken Fajitas always have a nice wood grilled flavor to them that is sure to please you! A few times I have made it to dessert, but not very often. My favorite dessert herebis the churros. They are delicious in their own right, but they also give you different dipping sauces like chocolate, caramel, or even a vanilla cream. They are served hot and fresh!

    El Carlos Elegante was in fact elegante!…read more It was everything I wanted in a Michelin recommendation restaurant. I really wanted to try something different and fun, so we ended up getting the elegante experience for $99 per person. I was not disappointed at all with this experience and it offered a ton of great food options. I was so full at the end of this experience, however, every single food item I tried was great and kept me wanting more. To highlight a couple of the items given on that "secret" experience was the tamales, the wagyu steak and the green sauce that came with it, and the sponge cake at the end was a great finisher. I really did enjoy the entire experience of the restaurant and the food. The entire staff was on top of their game and made sure that we had a great time. For me this restaurant was a 9 out a 10. There's no doubt in my mind that I will be back and probably take people here too.

So thinking we showed up for our reservation, this location says they don't take reservations. They stop at is anyway, which was nice. We were seated on the porch, and here's where things got weird. We ordered our drinks and when the drinks were delivered, we said we were ready to order, and the waitress, hesitated and then said she would be back. Kinda strange, but eventually we had our order taken. I ordered a mango agua fresca which was pretty good. The complementary chips and salsas were also really good. For an entree I had the Tempura Fried Fish Tacos. These were very good and the coleslaw served with them was very good- crunch and bright. Overall the food here is pretty solid.
