About

Brought to you by the family behind the beloved Italian-American restaurant Original Joe's, Elena's is the newest restaurant addition envisioned to honor the Mexican-American heritage in their family. Located in the heart of West Portal—the same neighborhood the Duggan family calls home—Elena’s intends to represent what their family has grown to love about authentic Mexican food, combined with California-inspired elements and signature Mexican-American dishes. The family-friendly restaurant is driven by bold flavors, fresh ingredients, and modern touches, served in a warm and inviting atmosphere.
