Elvira's Mexican Grill

Wow, what a sweet find! Great atmosphere, delicious authentic Mexican food, and very friendly welcoming staff. The service was excellent! We talked with the owners and what a breath of fresh air. They make a point to chat with all of their customers. Homey and friendly place. Did I mention incredible salsa and large glasses for margaritas and beer! Delicious food. I felt like I was eating in my grandma's kitchen. They are expanding and will have a cantina next door. Great place! Enjoy! We will definitely be coming back, I'm sure with regularity. Thank you Tim and Christina for an enjoyable evening out!

Love this cute place! One of these stars is dedicated to the free tootsie rolls. Everyone is super friendly and the food is spiced differently so it doesn't taste like every other Mexican restaurant. Just loved it and loved reading their story on the menu.

First came the chips N salsa... Mmm actually pretty good. Ok ok.. Salsa was different., it actually had a good kick not hot but flavors were there. Upon ordering the nice bonita lady was very helpful, she checked for food availability and options. Que rica, verdad. Then once all food arrived. Now this alone was the challenge, the carne asada burrito was good but began to lag. I felt it fading then i began to realize i needed that special ingredient... SALT. Once it was inserted, it was like George Mcfly punched out Biff and i was back in the game playing Earth Angel in perfect chord. Yes salt was the magic ingredient, it's been lacking lately in many latin joints in the states. Once that was added, dang i could go more rounds, if the tummy could hold such flavor. Really salt is the key ingredient if lard isn't being used, gosh what a good comeback. This was the 5 star over the top, that Baño was awesome on point. Yes, Ambiance en total was where all goodness comes together. The gwapas there were very nice, tan dulce Traiga a amigos y familiares a este hermoso restaurante. Tiene grandes sabores para la vista y para el estómago para disfrutar.

We did takeout the first time trying Elvira’s. We dined in tonight for the first time. Everything I’ve tried has been amazing. Chips and salsa are great. Salsa does have a kick if you’re sensitive to spicy. Between our two visits so far, we’ve tried the Enchiladas, Tacos, Chile Relleno, California Chimi (specially asked with Carnitas but they don’t normally do it), Fajitas, and the appetizer nachos. We got margaritas for drinks and their house made flan for dessert. First and foremost,, the Chile relleno is the best I’ve had in a very long time. I was so happy with it that I’ve considered just ordering that à la carte. The margaritas don’t taste strong but they are so tread carefully. They’re also huge! I am not a fan of flan usually but my husband is. The flan is amazing! The best I’ve had. And now the only place I know I can get it and love it. It’s a pretty large portion actually. Good to share between two people. All of their portions are large and so far, we’ve had lunch for the next day. My new favorite place in Simi Valley! Shoutout to our waiter Oscar! (The price tag per person was so high because we got a couple of drinks each…)

So anyone who is looking for some good food you will not be disappointed. This place will get you right. Me and my sister came to visit Revelation Church and was in Simi Valley for 5 day and this was the place we ate all 5 days. We tried something different on the menu everyday and was never disappointed. Not only was the food delicious but the staff was amazing, the prices are affordable, and the service is fast! The must have are; the table side guacamole, the chicken or shrimp wraps, fajita salad, Camarones a la Diablo shrimp, and fajita el patron, the drinks are also really good; I loved the horchata and my sister enjoyed the BIG Margarita and the hibiscus. However everything is delicious!!! I will miss this place when we get back to Myrtle Beach SC. WE WILL BE BACK!!! Christina thank you for the awesome food, great service and wonderful conversations. You will see us again. Blessings
