Santa Elenas — Restaurant in Loveland

Chef Rodrigo and his Santa Elena's crew catered our wedding reception out of their food truck. Leading up to the event, Chef Rodrigo was willing to work with our budget, had timely communication, and allowed us to schedule a tasting. We loved the food from the start, however, everything surpassed expectations day of. Our guests were blown away with the meal, sharing how delicious the dinner and appetizers were. If you're considering Santa Elena's catering for a private event, or even looking for your dinner plans, please do yourself a favor and go get some wood smoked Mexican cuisine. We are no longer local in Fort Collins, however, you can bet we will be on the hunt for Santa Elena's food truck or restaurant whenever we return.

When I went back for a second bowl and explained I was going to take it home for a meal the next day, they very kindly gave me some great tips to help it overnight well in my fridge. We've also had tamales when they were on offer in the past and enjoyed...
