My Husband and I can't understand why Elsa's in Springboro gets so much hate on Yelp??? We love the food! We've enjoyed dining here many times and our servers have always been very friendly and attentive. Queso cheese and chips are the bomb!! My husband loves the steak and chicken quesadillas, it's full of all the meats and cheese, he has enough to take home for a second meal! The chicken tostada is mouthwatering as are the chicken wings. The people that complain about the noise are ridiculous, it's a bar and grill duh! Go for the food, Bad Juan's, and super friendly service! read more

Elsas boro Cantina - Chicken Tostada and a Bad Juan - Mexican Near Me - Springboro, Ohio

Black bean soup and strong bad juan margarita yummm. If u have never had their famous margaritas.. they are strong and need to be respected. I used yo prefer the smoother juanita ...and they do offer frozen and flavors. Take my advice, eat something prior ... drinking these on empty stomach is a rookie mistake most have made. They limit you to 2 or 3 and they are small. I may be the reason for the limit ... i bought a pitcher once to share with my husband. He was driving, so I didn't drink. so i drank the pitch ... until i ‍ ... i dont remember that night, but it wasnt good. Personally this is a margarita i like on the rocks and i hold it in my mouth for a few minutes before swollowing. Great when u have bronchitis or just want to get happy. read more

Not sure why this place doesn't get more love in reviews. It's a Mexican restaurant not a Morton's steak house. Food is solid and they have lots of choices for meat VS most places only having ground beef or shredded (canned) chicken. Service is always pretty good as is the food. It's an OLD BW3 location with high ceilings and about 20 TVs so it doubles as a sports bar. Speaking of, their wings are really good as well as the std Mexican restaurant stuff. read more

First let me say the chips and salsa here are amazing. I ordered 10 wings and a quesadilla I should have ordered one or the other. But I will say they both were perfectly prepared. The wings were nice and crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The quesadilla was huge even for a half sized. I wish I wasn't going driving afterwards I would have loved to have tried a drink or two. I can't wait to come back again and try other items on the menu. read more

Elsas boro Cantina - Above the tables - Mexican Near Me - Springboro, Ohio

We go every year for my husband's birthday. Tonight was a major disappointment. Some female, Gina Cullen, was singing in the bar area when we arrived around 6:30. She was just terrible. You couldn't carry on a conversation in the main dining area. I thought it was a karaoke night gone bad. She ruined the whole night. We decide to never go back and start a new tradition of going to Tres Amigos. If this is their idea of bringing in a crowd, they turned us off. So terrible. Never going back after 20 years between the Centerville location and the Springboro location. Just so very sad read more

Absolutely do not recommend this place. We walked 1.5 miles here with our dog to eat on the patio. We ordered and then the manager came out to tell us he wasn't allowed. Classy move getting our money then telling us we have to go. Beyond that, the food is terrible. Kroger brand salsa is more appetizing, at least chips from the store are fresh. 0/10 recommend. read more

I've been here over 20 times since they've opened. I also go to several of the other Elsa's. I have been sadly disappointed the last two visits. Today, we ordered a Buffalo pizza. When it came to the table, it was obviously burnt. Not just over cooked, burnt. The top was mostly black and the bottom was completely charred. We asked them to take it back and to take it off of our bill. They did, but initially didn't even ask if we wanted another pizza. We just asked for the bill I mentioned the problem to the manager and he said "yea, it was a little over done, but some people complain if it's slightly under done". They should have never brought this to the table. It was bad The time before this one, my husband ordered chicken wings - he gets them at all of the Elsa's. You could drop one on your plate and there was a big "plank" they were so over done We have only returned a meal once here - the pizza. They treated us like we were too picky. It was horrible I would suggest that everyone stay away from this Elsa's and go to another location read more

Service was slow and bordered on pissed off by staff. Started at the bar and the bartender got offended when I didn't like Pepsi. Moved to a table and the waitress was a no show. Waitress showed up and was pissed off. Have no idea what happened back of the house but it was leaking all over my experience as a first time guest. The food was good but not memorable- had a margarita that was good- maybe a little strong. Atmosphere was pleasant and place was clean. read more

Food and service sucks here and it's WAY too expensive! Overrated just like it's counterpart in Centerville! I ate there once too and hated it and thought since it was in a more upscale community it might make an attempt to be a better restaurant! It wasn't! Yuk! read more

eaten at elsa's many times before but never takeout. not sure if it was an off night but we waited over 30 minutes on top of the 20 it said online until the food was ready. before that , the employee kept repeating the wrong name insisting we didn't have an order until a different employee brought the ticket out which had our name on it. she pointed it out to the original employee and all she had to say was "oh well". finally got the food and something was wrong , had to be remade. the rest of the food was cold and soggy. not sure if i'd ever be back for takeout. read more

This is my second and last review for Elsa's in Springboro. I paid cash when my bill came to avoid the Credit Card (CC) Charge they put on the receipt. I waited and waited a good 10-15 minutes for the waiter to return my change, but he never came back to my table. I find it rather presumptuous for my waiter Noah to feel that my change is now his tip! Not again. read more

The wait service was great. But it is truly sad when the most flavor from the shredded beef soft taco that I had came from the cheddar cheese and the onion. If you are hungry you can eat ther. If you are craving Mexican food don't bother. read more

Went with my wife and daughter expecting a Mexican restaurant. What we got when we sat down were stale obviously bagged chips and what seemed to be cooked then chilled salsa straight from a can. The menus caused us concerns since there was a ton of American bar food, wings, and pizza with a minimal selection of Mexican food. Was so disappointed that we paid for our drinks, left a tip and left the premises. Will not be back when there is a multitude of good Mexican restaurants, including the one directly across the main street. read more

Tastes like buttholes. Servers are buttholes. Would rather stay at home and chew my own toenails. It's a "no" for me dawg.

Let me just start this off by saying that the service is fantastic. Our waitress was the best! And the restaurant is very clean! That's where the good part ends. The food is not that great. It has no flavor and the meat is tough. I ordered tacos with shredded beef (flavorless) and the beef was so tough that I couldn't bite through it. The complimentary chips and salsa are also very bland. The chips are hard and greasy and the salsa tastes like straight up tomato sauce from a can with no added garlic, onions or cilantro like basic salsa should have. We did order some queso and it was very salty. We may give this place another try, but I won't be ordering anything with the shredded beef. read more
