While the delivery service can be unreliable at times, the in-house dining experience is amazing.

Customers appreciate the quality of food and the welcoming atmosphere, often feeling like part of the family when dining here. Many enjoy the home-cooked meals priced between 6-8 dollars, highlighting the delicious old-fashioned Cuban food. While some dishes may not always meet expectations, like the picadillo, others, such as the liver, receive high praise. The restaurant is small and can get crowded, but the friendly and professional staff contribute to a warm dining experience. El Unico de Elena is truly a local gem, offering amazing value, with daily lunch specials well under $10. For those looking for authentic local flavors, this is the place to go, and a specialty coffee is a must-try. Overall, El Unico de Elena is a must-visit for delicious food and a friendly atmosphere that won’t break the bank.
