    We loved Elvira's! The food was fabulous. We had a bit of a kerfuffle and Ritu swooped in and took excellent care of us and turned our evening into a spectacular experience. Can't wait to go back!

    Our patio table was lovely next to a fireplace. Interior of restaurant was very loud but our table was spot on for conversation . Our waiter was a polished pro. The Problem: food not very tasty and extremely overpriced.

    It was great. Little pricey. They brought out the appetizer and we were enjoying it, but maybe 4 minutes later, they brought the entrees. Table was kinda small so we were done with the guacamole and chips I guess. Guac was great. Waiter was very nice.
