The restraunt is deceptively nicer inside than out. It's located in a small strip mall along with a dollar store. However, the atmosphere is nice with instrumental versions of popular songs playing and nicely dressed waitstaff. Unfortunately, that's where my positive experience waned. Our meal was the hummus and pita, a gyro with Greek side salad, and a gyro pizza. Water to drink. The hummus was tasty with just the right amount. My wife's reported that her gyro was good, and the Greek salad was fresh. My gyro pizza was a different story. Undercooked, soggy, and wet. Ended up eating it with a fork because the wet dough wouldn't hold the toppings. As far as I can tell, it was cooked just long enough for the cheese to melt. We ordered 2 lemonade vodkas from the drink menu, and had not received them a few minutes after our food was at the table. I asked the server, and she seemed surprised, headed for the bar, then came back and said they didn't have the ingredients to make it. We declined the offer to choose another drink. To top off the meal, we never had our water refilled. This is the 2nd time I've tried this restraunt. We ate here 2 years ago shortly after moving to the area, and it simply wasn't a good meal. Thought we'd give it another shot and got the same results. Great potential. Parking lot is usually pretty full...Im just...
Read moreJust pulled into the RV park down the street and I wanted a seafood dinner. By the time I was all set up I was starving so I came here to eat because it’s close to my RV park. First of all, everyone working here is very friendly. They brought a basket filled with, I assume, fresh warm bread and garlic knots without that heavy garlic sauce on top. Which I don’t care for anyway. They left a small plate of a delicious blend of seasonings and a bottle of delicious olive oil to mix in. That seasoning mix was really tasty. Every meal comes with your choice of three salads, tossed, Caesar or the Elsa salad…a Greek salad. I got their tomato based dressing. OMG!!! So yummy. I ordered the Shrimp Ravioli. 4 large pasta pillows filled with cheese and topped with 4 good sized shrimp in a vodka sauce. That entree was absolutely phenomenal. It was so delicious and better than any pasta dish I’ve had at any high end restaurant and so reasonably priced. For dessert, the cannoli. I got one cannoli without any whipped cream and no chocolate drizzle. The pastry shell that it came in had a chocolate covered interior. Their cannoli was the best I’ve ever had. And I eat out a lot all over the country. This place is a find....
Read moreIm thankful for a family ran restaurant other than mexican food in SETX! This was my first time trying Elsa’s…
The Salad was really good and so was the Fiesta Feta Spread from the Sampler Platter. The pricing was really really good! I thought the price was very fair!!
I also ordered the Pastitsio and it was not warmed all the way :( and they described it with a creamy white sauce which I didn’t notice, maybe because it wasn't warmed all the way. Overall the supposed to be hot food just was warm and the Pastitsio cold on top.
Our waitress was really kind, but not so attentive…(we had to go to the counter for our ticket and asked for to go boxes) although I noticed she looked busier than all of the other waitresses. Maybe she had more tasks to perform at the time. She was sweet though.
For the price I would buy from here again but maybe take out because we did wait quite a while for our food.. (appetizer took about 20 minutes and main dish about 15 mins after) only for it to be not fresh. I would like to continue to support Elsas and see them prosper which is why I am giving my feed back! Just some small improvements would have made a huge...
