   I think you can go to any mexican spot in the Mission and get better mexican food without the expensive price tag. The place was beautiful, but I don't really think it was worth the amount we paid. The food runners and bussers were excellent; our server was pretty much nonexistent. Unsure I would go back there.

   We got seated after 10 min. The drinks and food were great. The ambiance was nice and we went at a perfect time 2:45 so by the end of our meal it wasn’t crowded at all. It was actually perfect.

   This was our second time dining at Elena’s. The first time we had to book an early dinner reservation, around 3:30pm because that’s all they had and it’s so hard to get a reservation between 6-8pm. It was pretty slow when we first dined here. Service was great and food was delicious. The second time we were able to get a reservation at 8:30pm on a Thursday night. It was much busier, but the food and service were still the same. Ambiance and vibe at night is much different compared to an early slower afternoon. We will definitely be returning, but I just wish it weren’t so hard to make a reservation.

   Dinner was good, but not over the top. Service was good, but not outstanding. Music is so loud its hard to talk, more like a bar scene atmosphere rather than a fine dining establishment. Everything was good but not worth the hype, and the long wait to get reservations. Would not go there for a date or a meeting. Glad we checked it out but no need to go back.
