They don’t have taco salads any more. The waitress did not tell me. She just brought me a bowl with only had black beans and rice and a little chicken you couldn’t even find it the chicken. Then she try and tell me that’s what I ordered. and said I order it I told her no I order a taco salad. Then she told me oh we don’t sell those any more. She did not bring me my sides or sour cream. I asked her for it she said oh you want that too. It’s on the menu I paid for it. Terrible sevice will not be going back

Elsa's is a great restaurant that's well known for their margaritas. There menu is pretty small and varies by location. The linden ave has the best menu options by far. While the food is more like a high quality taco bell than authentic Mexican cuisine it's made well and a little more bland than traditional Mexican. The Bad Juan's (famous margarita) are pre-made and can range in potency depending on how well they keep it mixed. They aren't very good at it so it can escalate quickly. There's also usually a 3 drink max on the Bad Juan's. They're known for their potency and is definitely a must try. The only reason I don't vote it 5 stars is if you're looking for authentic Mexican restaurants this isn't what you're looking for. Now if you're looking for Mexican street food. This is where it's at. Also, It's always packed and crowded there just isn't enough space for the demand at the linden location though the other locations have more room.

Best Elsa’s hands down. Best staff and best atmosphere.If you don’t like it it probably means you haven’t consumed enough Bad Juan’s.

Our server did a great job. He kept our drinks full and made sure we had everything we needed. We ordered different meals but the majority of them had very bland food. The food was presented well.

Beans looked like they were cooked in 1842 and just served today. Tried the middle part too and just really bad all the way through. Other than that the server was friendly.

I would give zero stars if I could, I saw a staff member out back with an apron smoking with his gloves on and then turned around and went back inside, so disgusting. Then when I left there was a fight in the parking lot! Rowdy and obnoxious crowd. If you value cleanliness and safety I would keep a good distance from this business.

Springboro was much better this seemed more like your corner bar with everything on tje menu than a Mexican restaurant

Bartender was extremely attentive and friendly. Food was great. Quaso was enjoyable and I rarely like it.

Had great service. Tiffany took excellent care of our large group even with our complicated check situation. Food was meh, but the Bad Juans can't be beat.

Food was very good. Bad Juan's very strong.Service was excellent!
