Elsa's Mexican Restaurant

One word, five letters …………………..NASTY!
Gross salsa and no flavor chips, Fajitas with chicken had no flavor, not sure how this place stays in business.
Taco Bell has far better food

Just left there. Will not return. Started with drinks. Bad Juan was nothing spectacular. No fountain drinks…we thought was odd. Food came quickly. We ordered our normal things. Salsa had zero flavor. Fajita Bowl was nasty. Cold rice, burnt veggies-onions and green peppers were burnt/purple?? Chicken was cold, dark meat little squares. No flavor at all. Husband ordered a shredded beef super burrito. No shredded beef…changed to shredded chicken. Had a weird aftertaste and was cold. Waitress asked how food was. We were honest and told her. I don’t leave negative reviews lightly, it was not busy, we could see the cook…no pride in food prep no gloves. Just gross all around. We’ve come to this location (and other Elsa locations) many times. Never had a problem. No offer to amend the situation and nor did we feel it necessary to address since they showed no interest..just a “sorry and have a good night”. The lack of pride in food prep and customer service/satisfaction was nonexistent. We paid the bill and went to the location on Marshal and Stroup. Excellent service from a brand new waitress and excellent food. I understand each location is owned by different folks. Thank goodness because we love Elsa’s and Bad Juan’s!

Good food and strong drinks. You might wait a bit as it's normally one to two servers for the place, but it's worth it.

I'm a life long Dayton resident and used to love Elsa's. I wish now the Sheetz was going in. The quality of food has gone so far downhill this was my last trip to Elsas. Tonight the refried beans were dry and totally inedible. I mean beans hit with a masher and nothing else. No flavoring. No seasoning. BLAND Nachos had no salsa or sauce of any kind. Chicken, cheese, and dry beans. Chicken had no flavoring, no seasoning. Plain chicken. It was awful. And happy hour? What a joke. .70 cents off drink prices? I'd rather spend my money at Taco Bell.

We didn't eat there because it smelled like sewage, and they looked very short-staffed.

Our waitress, Lachelle, was the bomb! So full of energy and positive vibes! We love Elsa's, but it was our first time at this location. The decor is very outdated, but the atmosphere is light hearted and the food was excellent. We will be back! Our Bad Juan's were very tasty as well ?

Elsa's is always top notch. Great food, service and the "Bad Juan" margaritas can't be beat. My favorite Mexican restaurant and the prices are reasonable.

Lachelle, is one of the best at this establishment. I was done with this location, for several reasons gave it one last chance and she turned my whole opinion on this place around. I hope they know how valuable you are sweetheart, they're lucky to have you as part of their staff!!
