"The West Portal neighborhood has easily embraced Elena’s, a gorgeous Mexican restaurant from the family behind Original Joe’s. Though evening means hefty platters of enchiladas and sizzling plates of fajitas, brunch sees the addition of options such as chilaquiles with either red or green sauce and huevos rancheros divorciados. A breakfast burrito stuffed with tater tots and green chiles begs to be paired with a carajillo, seasonal spritz, or one of the restaurant’s various bloody mary riffs. It can get quite busy here, so consider making a reservation if you don’t have time to wait." - Dianne de Guzman
