Elvira’s Cuban Cuisine (TAKE OUT & DELIVERY ONLY)

We bought tamales, croquettas and empanadas in bulk to enjoy at home on the mountain. Her prep instructions were perfect and our meal turned out excellent. We all enjoyed her delicious Cuban food that reminded me of the Cuban food I'd get back in Florida as a child. We will be buying Melissa's food often as she put so much love in her food and you can taste that love that was handed down through the generations . Much love to Grandma Elvira ! Make sure to try all of the delicious options , we cannot wait to eat her food again.

I heard about Elivara's and being a fan of cuban cuisine I drove 30 minutes to try it. I arrived a bit earby but Melissa was waiting for me having already prepared by Medianoche sandwich. Oh my gosh, All I can say is that it was the best of this type I have every tried! She even included a cupcake for dessert. First, my sandwich must have weighed 2 lbs, full pork which is marinated for 3 days. She adds ham, pickles,and mustard inside a grilled home-made bun. Fabulous and enough for 2 people. I love supporting start-up businesses and Melissa is as hard working as the come, doing everything herself our of this commissary kitchen. She is passionate about her Cuban family roots and loves sharing her recipes to those who appreciate quality ethenic cuisine. I can't wait to try her other dishe

I'm not much of a food being an experience person & generally eat based on nutrition, time, and cost. My girlfriend loves culinary creations & has exposed me to more highly regarded restaurants in our time together than I've checked out prior to meeting her. Usually these digestible luxuries come with a🫰 bill & ultimately my perspective of not caring to seek out culinary delights gets strengthened. That all being said, last week we needed lunch take-out to accompany us & some out-of-town visitors on a little mountain getaway. My foodie gal decided we get Elvira's because she was told it was good from someone somewhere. I don't recall the name of everything we ordered but it was like 6ish different menu items which we all shared. I loved everything I tried! And so did everyone in our group

The food here is beyond fantastic! If you want incredible legit Cuban food made with love, then, please order from here. I am so grateful to have found this place and in loveland. Hidden gem! Everything was handmade and delicious and all the servings were generous. We got ropas, croquetas, tamales, and cubano, and almost cried because it is so hard to find authentic latin food here, and the tamales were just as good as my abuela's. To get your order, please go to the website and pre-order for take out or delivery, she offers via Uber eats as well. She is a one woman superstar so she has menus for each day she is open and stuff runs out, it helps to pre-order or plan ahead 😉 Pick up is at a commercial kitchen, there is currently no dine in option.

Chef Melissa, You have definitely found one of your gifts! The cuisine was all fabulous. Solid Cubano/PR delicias! That was my first Mallorca. I really liked it. The sweet bread was unique in a sandwich, for me. I have to say…the beans were amazing! Brought back memories. The Arroz con Gandules were also super, reminiscent of days gone by. Did you make the bizcocho? I’m not usually a fan of cakes or cupcakes, but that was good. Moist and tasty. I had a fine nap after lunch! And this is just me. My first delivery was to a Puertoriqueño at a local business. He was chowing down on the Cubano and Arroz con Gandules before I left. He was quite speechless, in awe of the arroz con gandules (which I knew he missed). He could barely utter words as he devoured the sampler. He did say he had
