What People Are Saying About Elsi's Restaurant
The Editor

In Short – It feels like a neighbor's home that's been converted into a casual Mexican diner, with comfortable booths and colorful chairs and tables. Chips with piquant salsa are served immediately. The Al Pastor entree is a popular entree: roasted pork with pineapple that suffuses the meat with sweetness. Salvadoran dishes include savory pupusas (pork or cheese-filled fried masa with refreshing, pickled cabbage slaw) and fresh, cheese-stuffed chayote squash--egg batter-fried, but still light.

I miss Elsi's
by maya_125
I moved out of state a couple years ago and I still find myself missing Elsi's on a Saturday morning! Their chilequiles with verde sauce and a fried egg on top is one of my favorite dishes. The atmosphere is welcoming and the food is great.
- Pros: food, staff
- Cons: none

Pretty good, will definitely try again
by velvetspel
We got the pupusas and a dish that was similar to chicken flautas. I wasn't totally wowed, but they were pretty tasty. We loved the black beans, very flavorful, unlike some places which are very bland. The service was very good, as were the margaritas. We will definitely give it another try; we really would like to try the breakfast.
- Pros: black beans, margaritas, service
