Elsa's Mexican Restaurant

I've been coming here for the past 15 years great little spot with some great food and better drinks a bad Juan will set you straight. I myself had come here about three weeks prior to my last visit and ordered "Mike's I'm on fire and ready to die" wings and they brought me the wrong sauce on the wings the first time so I thought they were light work. I ordered the same thing again for a birthday celebration and they brought the right sauce this time around. Now I pride myself in eating spicy foods, I've done the Paqi one chip challenge, I've eaten raw ghost peppers and Carolina reapers, I have my own little plant of both kinds in my backyard but these wings will make a grown man regret ordering them. I'm not a religious person but I understand the 9 circles of hell because they've been slowly moving through my body since I consumed the three out of twenty wings I ordered.

Elsa's on Linden is a Dayton original. It's all about comfort food, a friendly, cozy atmosphere, and lively conversations (probably fueled by the Bad Juan, one of the best margaritas in town). I've been a fan for 40 years, and it's a regular haven.

Used to live in Springboro, and I will not pass up a trip to the dayton area without stopping at this Elsas and getting a mini wet burrito. Awesome.
