Elsa’s is known for their bad Juan margarita and you can get a skinny version! They’re tasty and worth grabbing one. The food is okay and I would say typical for an Ohio Mexican restaurant. Kind of a divey vibe. The bartenders are friendly and service is fast.

Delicious food and wonderful service. Small restaurant with lots of menu options to choose from. Prices are reasonable for the portions. Bar seating area, as well as tables. Tvs broadcast a variety of sports and entertainment. It can get a little loud, but you are still able to have a conversation.

Ever since the wilmington pike location has closed, my family & i have Had to try the other local locations. With that being said..... the stroop rd was good for months until 3weeks ago. Our Steak burrito had All burnt steak in it two in a row(i sent back both/that's when the manager informed me that it ALL comes Together in a Bag!) So ofcourse if a cook burnt it up, then he burnt it All up and none of this batch was going to be Any better! i came back the next week to try again & the $18.00 burrito that we ALWAYS get was now the size of my toddlers wrist! needless to say, that was it for us on this location as this is what we All get. Now moving on to Linden Location- we came in the other night, our waitress (at the tables) {dark hair, heavy set} wasn't pleasent in the least to put it p

Ordered carry out. Worst ever in 20yrs eating here. Smallest burritos ever. More tortilla than filling. Hardly any filling mostly beans wanted ground beef. No chips. No salsa. Was cold and cheese wasn't melted. What happened? This place was always a go to. Will think again...

GET THE GUACAMOLE! It was the best guacamole I've ever had at a restaurant, so good I was tempted to ask for the recipe! My husband, mother in law, and myself ate here for the first time this evening, and I'm upset it took me this long to have this experience. The food was so good. You get chips and salsa, and there are so many options for food. My husband got the chorizo quesadilla, I got the fajitas chicken bowl, and my MIL got the taco salad. The serving of meat was fantastic and hearty for every dish. There was a ton of cheese on my bowl, but it was good. The chorizo was very flavorful and filling. We definitely will be coming back! We also got a frozen bad Juan margarita, and a Fun Dip cocktail. The drinks were also delicious! I highly recommend everyone in Dayton give this place a tr
