    Unbelievably great start for Elvira's! There we no “rookie mistakes” to this outstanding restaurant. The staff was very well-trained, the owner helped us pick our wine and the food (steak, flank steak and chicken enchiladas) were among the best we have ever tasted! I have already made my next reservation!

    Wonderful experience! Our server was awesome. Jake, the manager, greeted our table and made sure everything was to our satisfaction. We even noticed how he was assisting servers and setting tables. Food and drinks were very good. We will definitely go back!!

    Love the decor and the vibe. Food was absolutely delicious! I love chili rellenos but I am very particular because I don’t like a lot of batter and these were excellent! The sauce on top of the chili relleno had a mix of sautéed peppers in it and just made it even more delicious. Service was fantastic and hard to believe they’ve only been open a week. Will definitely be going back to try many more dishes that sounded so yummy!

    Elvira is an outstanding restaurant. Every aspect of the meal was first class. The service, drinks, atmosphere, but the best part was the food. We enjoyed the mushrooms and the shrimp quesadillas as an appetizer, but the flagship of the meal was the mole. We find good mole the essence of great Mexican cooking. And Elvira did not disappoint. The mole was beautiful with the mixture and complexity of chocolate, nuts, spices and chilies that was amazing. Best mole in the Valley and the best we have had outside of Santa Fe. Definitely will be going back. Bien hecho, Chief Monroy!

    The short red haired bartender was more concerned with getting bottles and doing server drinks. Totally ignored us. The taller bartender was great, flagged him down to take our order cause short stuff was off somewhere else, taller bartender made a great recommendation and kept the drinks full. We didn't get the taller bartender until 30 mins in.
