“ These guys hit it on all that counts! The service was great from the second I walked in until I left! Food was excellent and the atmosphere was fun! Thats a lot of exclamation points but they earned it! I started with the House Margarita with Chips and Salsa, both were great but the salsa was to die for. I had the Fajitas El Patron for dinner, OMG...the steak and chicken were so tender they could both be cut with a fork and the flavor was spectacular. Loved the shrimp too and the veggies were caramelized to perfection. Cant wait to come back! ”
“ I cannot express how awesome this place is. From the owners being just genuinely awesome people, to everyone in the staff loving their job and always having amazing attitude. And the food is out of this world. Made fresh every day from the homemade salsa and guacamole to marinated Carne Asada every day. ”
“ My wife and I decided to come here to grab lunch because we were near by. My wife wanted a new Mexican place so I saw this place on Yelp and decided to give it a try. I came right when they open so I got the parking in the front. We got seated right away and then a lot of people starting coming after us. They started off giving us chips and salsa which were really good. My wife got their horchata drink which she loved and I asked for a Pepsi but it was flat so I got water instead. For our entrees, my wife got their Chicken Mole and she really enjoyed her dish. I got the steak and chicken fajitas, I asked for flour tortilla and no beans. When they brought the fajitas to me, it wasnt sizzling like other places when you see people order it but the dish was hot. The steak and chicken were seasoned nicely but you dont get a lot of veggies besides onions. I also didnt get any sauce with it so I used the chips salsa which give it some extra taste. The customer service was great especially when they only had 1 waitress working and we had a great time dining here. ”

“ Love this cute place! One of these stars is dedicated to the free tootsie rolls. Everyone is super friendly and the food is spiced differently so it doesnt taste like every other Mexican restaurant. Just loved it and loved reading their story on the menu. ”
“ We were part of a hockey team that was looking for a place to celebrate our win and we found Elviras Mexican Restaurant and we got there just before they were closing. They sat us down and gave us epic service! And the food was the best Mexican food that I have had in a long time. Food and service were top notch! ”
“ Absolutely amazing Had to take pictures after we had already started eating but the atmosphere was so inviting and our waitress was very helpful and friendly. Now the food..... the food alone was extremely delicious shout out to the cooks for making such amazing meals that we couldnt put the forks down till our plates were clean! They make sure to give you more than enough and no long wait. Recommend everyone to stop by!!! ”
“ We loved our first meal at Elviras. Were vegetarian and sometimes have difficulty finding quality vegetarian Mexican food. That definitely was not a problem at Elviras. We ordered a vegetarian fajita salad and a vegetarian fajita with an extra order of tortillas so I could share it with my young son. We also had a Corona Light and a 20 oz. 805 draft beer. The veggie fajita came with thinly sliced yellow squash, zucchini, onion and green pepper served on a smoking hot cat iron skillet. They were well seasoned and tender crisp. The fajita came with a small side of guacamole and salsa, plus Mexican rice and black beans. This was a truly delicious mealmaybe in the top 3 best vegetarian Mexican meals Ive ever had. The veggie fajita salad was prepared table side. Check out the photo of our waiter preparing it. It included the same vegetables as the traditional fajita, but with lettuce, avocado and dressing. My wife really liked it, but she craved starchy food with it, so she ate one of my tortillas. I highly recommend Elviras for an authentic Mexican experience. The staff were so friendly, including the owner, who stopped by to chat. Prices are reasonable, too, and the service was amazing, but if youre going on a weekend night FriSat, definitely arrive early by 530 or youll have a long Wait for seating and to have your meal. ”
