Food was amazing and service was even better!! I recommend for a date night or friends night out.
I can't afford to eat there.
It looks absolutely amazing and beautiful. But I'll only go there if someone else is picking up the tab
Do NOT come to this place if you have food allergies.
I informed staff of peanut allergy and was assured that nothing I ordered had peanuts in it. I ordered the roasted mushroom and butternut squash tacos and had an immediate allergic reaction to the salsa macha - contains peanuts. This wasn't ment
On the way downhill
I have a change of opinion about Elena's. When it first opening it was very good in my opinion on all levels. But since it has got to be very popular I noticed a real decline in the food and service. It is like they don't care any more. The

Four of us came on a Thursday night to celebrate two birthdays. As crowded as it was, we were seated immediately with a reservation. In summary, service was attentive, food was deliciously satisfying. The place twinkled- there's a skylight, I&#

Incredible place all around! We had Natasha as our server and she made our experience so wonderful. The attention to detail in every aspect of the restaurant was so impressive. The food AND dessert were incredible. I cannot wait until we get to come
If you're looking for an elevated Mexican dining experience
If you're looking for an elevated Mexican dining experience with good vibes, Elena's is definitely the spot to go! Snagged a last minute reservation at 7:45 on a Monday and it was packed upon arrival. We got seated a little past our reserva

We had a wonderful dinner here as family during our last night in SF. The service was absolutely awesome from start to finish: friendly, attentive, and kept the chips flowing without us ever needing to ask. The food was equally impressive, with amaz

This spot is clearly high on its own supply -- and trust me, that ride won't last forever. We showed up at 4pm and were told it would be a 3-hour wait. Painful, but fine -- we stuck it out. We called, texted, stayed close by. Radio silence. At 9
This is the 3rd time that we had meals at this restaurant.
The first 2 times (My daughter had her pre college move-in dinner with the family there) were very pleasant. The food was good and the attendants were great. 3rd time was for our wedding anniversary dinner with our children (5 adults in total) on 9/2

A Great Experience ~ From the moment we entered the restaurant, we were impressed with the decor and ambiance. That was only the beginning. We happened to be there on Mexican Independence Day, which included entertainment by an outstanding Mariachi b

Last Saturday we dined at Elena's to celebrate my younger daughter's birthday. We were party of 6. This was my 4th time dining here but first time with my family. We arrived on time for our reservation at 1 pm. They liked the ambiance with

We were really excited to try out Elena's! We heard so many good things about this place and it always looks so packed! Well, we were disappointed. The food portions are relatively big but it seemed as though our server was getting confused on
Wow! We had a time, such a wonderful experience at Elena's.
Everything was tasty starting from the drinks. Expresso martini and spicy margarita was refreshing. My favorite main dish was the crab enchiladas. They served big portions and shared it with my partner. Calamari was the perfect appetizer. We got eve
My favorite spot in sf.
Great service, great interior design, great serving dishes, and incredible food. I've come back many times and never been disappointed with the overall quality and attention to flavor. The general theme of everything blends so flawlessly togethe

Didnt have a reservation on a Saturday at noon, but sat at the bar no problem. Would have been a 2 hr wait for an opening. The chips and salsa were great. I ate the Chicken Fajitas, so good!
The restaurant is beautifully designed and welcoming.
All the staff are attentive, friendly, and helpful. We ordered multiple dishes to share and all were fabulous. We had a few drinks and they were both delicious. The steak fajitas were cooked to perfection. All the flavors and garnishes added to the e

Came here for an anniversary dinner after hearing so many good things about the place. The interior of the restaurant is gorgeous with golden lighting and beautiful plates. Our waiter was very friendly and loved to chat with us. I got the Shredded C
My friends and I had a good Sunday dinner at Elena's.
We shared the mixed green salad, combo crudo, house made guacamole, crispy tacos, steak/shrimp fajitas and the chocoflan. The guacamole and the combo crudo were excellent. The crispy tacos and steak/shrimp fajitas were good entrees. The chocoflan
I came here about a week back for the first time.
The food was amazing. The steak was very big and enough to split between two people, it was absolutely delicious and tasteful. Their chips and salsa had a lot of flavor and quite a spicy to it. Their corn was to die for, it was an immediate favorite
Father's Day Brunch
Such a great experience. Really good food and great ambiance. Reservation is tough but suggest using Opentable alert.
Overhyped but attractive restaurant
After month of waiting we finally arrived. Being long time fans of the original joes family of restaurants we were anxious to try Elena’s. Wait time with a 5:45 reservation was minimal. We were seated by the front door on a bitterly cold night. Eve
VERY DISAPPOINTING!!!
VERY disappointing lunch. Table of 5 asked us to move to the bar cuz they needed the table( they will cover first round of drinks), we accepted. After we moved they gave us a bill for 3 drinks. It was going away for our friends moving out of State.
Good but could be Great
After letting the chaos of their opening die down a bit, we decided to give it a try for my mom's 91st birthday -- and overall, we're glad we did. The food was really tasty, and though it was pricey ($16 for guac -- but it was delicious),
Upscale and Festive Lunch for Two
Fantastic upscale lunch spot that will become a regular spot for my husband and me. The food was excellent and flavorful — we ordered the carnitas and squash tacos and the mixed salad. We struggled to choose what to order with so many appetizing op
Great if you a party of 5 or more
I don't get the negative reviews here. I have eaten at Elena's 3 times and found it good....not great but good and better than the reviews here so far posted. I found it's prices reasonable as well for S.F. Having said that the biggest
Pricey and Flashy but Food Mediocre
Wanted to try and arriving a bit before 1800 we had a 1.75 hour wait which was not worth the food quality. Food was oversalted and I have had better for 1/4 the price in the Mission. Service was good so my complements to our waitress and the hos
Over priced, small portions, no flavor
Overpriced. Terribly small portions. Watered down drinks. Lunch for 2 was over $125.00. Not worth it. You can find a great Mexican restaurant in the Mission and feed your whole family.
So wanted to like Elena’s
This very large and attractive restaurant is a shot in the arm for our West Portal, SF area. It was and is hyped as the new in spot. The restaurant build out must have been enormously expensive, so a lot is riding on their success. And by all looks t
Connect with users posting reservations for Elena's Mexican Restaurant San Francisco
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Elena's Mexican Restaurant San Francisco. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Elena's Mexican Restaurant San Francisco at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Elena's Mexican Restaurant San Francisco page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $5.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $5.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* DistinguishedTree58, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $5 bid.
* DistinguishedTree58 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to DistinguishedTree58 for any questions Peter may have as DistinguishedTree58 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* DistinguishedTree58 now uses their connections at Elena's Mexican Restaurant San Francisco to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If DistinguishedTree58 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, DistinguishedTree58 receives the $5 reward which is credited to DistinguishedTree58's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Elena's Mexican Restaurant San Francisco!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
