Elena’s Tacos Y Mas

Posted on November 25, 2023 by under Food and Drink, Travel.    

Elena’s Taqueria is one of the places we ate at while we were in the Dallas area for USA Pickleball Nationals. It’s a small, mom and pop, hole in the wall type of restaurant. I was actually surprised that Brian felt so adventurous. He normally sticks to chains and more familiar places.

Here are some pictures of our food…

Brian had the chicken (above) and I had the carnitas (below). All of it was very good but I wasn’t feeling well. That was a weekend when I was having massively painful menstrual cramps from my seemingly never-ending period. Anyway, I ate what I could and we took the rest back to the hotel.

The food was delicious but it was the horchata that took my breath away.

I think it might have been the best horchata I’d ever had and now I want horchata all the time. In fact, we actually stopped by Taco Shop on the way home to get me some more. Unfortunately, it wasn’t as good. Brian told me that it’s probably because Taco Shop’s horchata is mass-produced as opposed to the homemade version I tried at Elena’s. Now I’m on a quest to find some delicious horchata here in Wichita. Any suggestions?
