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...read full review
