My family has been eating here since the week it opened in 1968. This is the best Sonoran Style Mexican food we have ever found. Whenever we visit we always have to eat there. I have somewhat duplicated their recipes, but there is nothing like the real deal. Thanks for all the great dining memories!

i grew up in apache juntion az, and elviras was the best restaurant in the juntion. i recommend the green chili burito's, their cheese enchiladas , cheese crisps and can not forget the hot sauce and chips. i'm still trying to guess how she makes the hot sauce the best i've had in 51 years. nobody can beat her hot sauce and i have eaten in alot of mexican food restaurants. elviras is still the best!

We visited Elvira's Restaurant first in the 70s and most recently just yesterday. It's just one of "those" restaurants, you know? Dishes from scratch, reasonable prices, low-key operation. Feels like home! You just can't improve on the total formula!

What a wonderful experience. Staff were friendly and made recommendations to try - all were fantastic! Real authentic mexican food - all made daily and fresh. Everything we tried was a mouthful of heaven!!
We have lived here 15 years and never tried this place. But once we did we go 3-5 times a week. We used to go to Seranos.

I've eaten at Elvira's since it opened and have found the food to be consistently the best Sonoran style Mexican food in the US.
i grew up in apache junction,and elviras was the best food in town then as it is now,but a warning don't ever ask for sour cream on your chimichangas ,because vera will tell you thats white mans food, not mexican, sincerily robert demarest
