About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Fancy
  • Charming
Elena is a gastronomic project under the concept of cuisine from the ground floor, in an environment
of comfort where diners can enjoy an extremely pleasant experience and
within a fun and relaxed atmosphere.
The restaurant offers a menu where our respect and appreciation for local ingredients is reflected, always using the freshest and best quality ingredients. The result is dishes created using a mix of influences from traditional and contemporary cuisines.
We ensure that the best accompaniment to our cuts of meat and seafood is, without a doubt, a good glass of wine. Our wine list is made up largely of wines from the Valle de Guadalupe, consistent with the idea of ​​taking advantage of the region's product. Or if you fancy something more refreshing, we have a House Mixology menu from the most experimental and avant-garde to classic cocktails.

    This will be my second time visiting Elena and it does not disappoint. Reservations were made for 6:30 pm, my boyfriend and I sat outside on the patio. The afternoon was a vibe, with the sunsetting , sipping on cocktails, eating a atún tostada/aguachile de carne to watching a polo practice. The ambiance was peaceful, there’s was lounge music. Overall experience was relaxing, with great food and drinks and the service was amazing as well.

    I will avoid this reataurant. While the food is not bad, the service is not good and the value is very poor. It took 20 minutes before our drinks arrived and our order was taken. The final bill came, and 700 pesos ($35USD) for a double Hendrix tonic? Who does this place think it is? The final problem came when I wanted to tip 15% for this mediocre service, and the waitress had the gall to say 18% is minimum. I told her 15% - period. If you are going to charge exorbitant prices, then the service had better match.
