Elena's Taco Shop

Matti, our server was amazing!!! I had the surf and turf shrimp grilled shrimp and steak. It was super delicious..... my date had Elena's tacos. She said they were really good too. Guacamole made fresh daily. The green and red hot sauce is made fresh and was just right. Highly recommend eating here.

We stopped by for a late lunch on a Friday. It was empty when we arrived and while we were there a few people came in. The server was very nice, and we waited only a short time to get our food. We got 5 street tacos 3 steak, 2 chicken, a shrimp taco, and the carne asada fries. The fries came out first and were very tasty. The fries were covered with fresh tomatoes, onion, cilantro, sour cream, shredded cheese, guacamole and carne asada. The meat was cut small so a bit hard to eat on the fries as it kept falling off, but it tasted good and was a nice sized serving. The steak and chicken tacos to me were very basic and bland without hot sauce. They had 3 different sauces available at the counter that were good 2 red and 1 green, one of the red sauces was hotter. No lables. I actually ended up putting the extra toppings from the fries in the tacos and that was good. The shrimp taco was much more flavorful, the shrimp were a nice size and quantity too. The fountain drinks were as expected. We really enjoyed the fries and I would reorder the shrimp taco. The cost was moderately expensive our total was about $27. The dining area seemed clean and the bathroom was okay. If the chicken and steak tacos had been as tasty as the shrimp or fries, or less expensive, I would have rated our meal 4-4.5 stars. As it was from this experience I'd say it rated about 3-3.5 stars.

Food quality was pretty good. Everything tasted freshly cut and cooked. Most Mexican places tastes like frozen meat and veggies. The sauces and pickled/garlic veggies was a good addition. If go back and I normally do not like Mexican food. I got the bowl and the rice was not your "Mexican rice". Tasted better.Food: 4/5

I would give it zero stars if I could. Came here on a short trip from Chicago to visit Graceland and family who moved here from Chicago. Family member told us that you can't find food out here like in Chicago,boy were they right! We were looking for a good pizza out here,forget that idea. So now for dinner we thought we would try this place based on reviews. Big mistake! This was the worse mistake we could have made!! In all my 61 years, I have never seen a taco so small and tasteless as these. Taco Bell even puts more meat on their tacos! I spent $27 on tacos for me and the wife, and we had had to order a medium pizza when we were done ,because we were still hungry, that was another mistake,they have no clue what pizza should taste like. On our way to New Orleans, God I hope the food is better out there!

We have tried a few places in town that have “California Burritos” and were slowly realizing we weren’t going to find Mexican food like what we are use to in San Diego. Tried this place on a whim and it was AMAZING. I was in complete shock at how it tasted exactly like what we are use to. Burrito arrived still hot, very fresh, and huge just like San Diego burritos. Looking forward to trying everything on their menu. Only recommendation is there was no option on the to go menu on Uber eats to add guacamole. No pics, because I inhaled it.

If you’re looking for some West Coast style Mexican, this is the place! I chowed down on a Carne Asada California burrito and some rolled tacos last night and loved every single bite. I’ve definitely eaten my fair share of tacos and burritos, and Elena’s definitely knows what they are doing. I’ll be ordering from them again tonight for my last night in Memphis.

I was there on 10/7/22 I place my order through the drive through with the cashier . She repeated my order to me after 3 times and then I get my order it’s completely wrong and to top it off it was cold . She didn’t give me anything to eat with nor napkins . I’ve been trying to call the location since Friday and nobody answer . I will never recommend the location at Cordova but the location on Summer is so much better. I spend 25.00 for some nasty cold food that the cashier couldn’t even get right and nor will they answer the call. Bad Business

We ordered 2 carne asada fries and a chicken fry with extra cheese and extra sour cream, we got no cheese. We tried to call they don't pick up. We used to love this place.

Only giving it one star because no stars isn't an option. Terrible food, very expensive and definitely NOT worth it! The food was bland and watery, so much so, that the corn tortillas are soggy and falling apart. The restaurant is dirty full of flies and bugs. Taco Bell is so much better and less expensive. The food is as nasty as the restaurant! 0 out of 0 points for this dump.

My visit- drive thru. My order was correct . Food fresh any tasty like authentic Mexican.
