Enchiladas De Pollo Con Mole
I don't usually order enchiladas, but these are amazing! Not a lot of Mexican restaurants have mole dishes, so we keep coming back here over and over for these!
Combo 1
Hands down our favorite Mexican restaurant. Best refried beans I've ever had. WE LOVE IT.
Carnitas
Elvira's in Upland is a great dining experiences, another gem in a strip mall setting. Delicious, well made food. Super friendly and attentive staff. intimate family setting. Real glass drinking glasses. (It may seem trivial but, it feels better to drink out of a glass rather than plastic.) Perfect table made guacamole. I had the Carnitas, which to me, (along with the chili relleno) is the measure of a good Mexican joint. Both were excellent! Decent pricing! Elvira's in Upland is a go-to spot for friends and family.
Tostada
The chicken tostada is a-m-a-z-i-n-g. You can't go wrong with this dish.
Grilled Steak Fajitas
Their fajitas are excellent. Not greasy. So fresh and pipping hot. I really enjoy their salsa as well. Delicious as leftovers the next day
Enchiladas De Pollo Con Mole
Whenever I try a restaurant for the first time I really study the menu looking for something different or special. It's not easy to find great mole and this did not disappoint. The sauce was terrific and the chicken was moist and not dried out. The black beans are wonderful too. Savory. I think you'll be very happy with this dish. I was!
Burrito De Carne Asada
We have just moved to this area and this is by far the best place for Mexican food
Enchiladas Suizas
This dish is just the right amount of spicy! Love this alternative to the red Enchi. Spanish rice is fluffy and moist. Beans are similar to the way my grammy used to make. all around...YUM!
Carnitas
One cannot come to elvira's and forgo trying their exceptional carnitas at least once. carnitas are a classic mexican dish and this one is served to perfection! The meat is always juicy and tender, and the portions generous;one also receives just the right amount of vegetables with Black beans and tortillas to accompany this plate of delishness. I'M telling you the best I've tasted in Los angeles county thus far. since we choose to eat our meals at the bar your bartender is kind enough to make suggestions as to which cocktails would pair well with this dish along with making suggestions as to which drinks to try after our meal, I love this place y toda la comida aqui es riquisima! Buen provecho to all the staff @ Elvira's.
Chicken Tortilla Soup
Seriously!? Where has this soup been all of my life? I have been here about 10 times and gotten different things each time and everything is amazing. The servers, the drinks, the food and the ambiance of the restaurant. This soup is handsdown the best tortilla soup i have ever had. 100 degrees out and im getting the soup pairs well with their cadillac margarita. After leaving a review and thinking about it..im on my way elviras!!
Sauteed Shrimp Fajitas
Hands down the most amazing fajitas I've ever had! Not only did the food taste great, it was a very large portion as well. Everything was cooked to perfection, the service is always wonderful, and a beautiful atmosphere too. I usually order seafood fajitas at some of the old-town Mexican restaurants in San Diego, which I thought were the best and couldn't be topped, but I was wrong. Right here in Upland, just a few miles from my own house I found the best Mexican food I've had anywhere. I've tried many things a Elvira's, and not a single item has been a let-down, so order anything you want. But I promise the shirmp fajitas are top notch!

Fajitas El Patron
This is my favotite mexican restaurant in the area. The fajitas are delicious as well as the enchiladas. The setvice is aleays great. We visit weekly and this is our go to place take to bring family when they come over for a visit.
Chile Verde
For a great chili verde the pork needs to be tender and the sauce has to be deep. Full of flavor. This is one of my favorites. It's always a tough call. This or the Enchiladas de Mole. I love both. Guess you can't really go wrong!
Carne Asada
The carne asada was tender the dish was perfect
Enchiladas De Pollo Con Mole
The chicken enchiladas were sooo good. I order the same dish every Mexican restaurant i visut and by far these were the Best!! I've been back 3 times after to have them again.
Taquitos Ranchero
I have the taquitos ranchero every time i'm at elvira's in claremont and they're sooo delicious. they're perfectly crispy and the ranchera sauce that it's topped with is divine. highly recommend ordering them along with the carne asada quesadilla to share.
Tostada
The food is great. Service is excellent
California Chimi
I come here all the time and eat the california chimi! Its always perfectly fried, the shredded beef is seasoned so well it melts in my mouth. And as always you cannot go wrong with the beans and rice in it. Im drooling writing about it. So delicious!!!
Enchilada
I tried their mole enchiladas with rice and beans. let me just say it was well worth the wait! their mole is sweet but not too sweet and they put plenty of chicken inside. their rice and beans are authentic and savory. Definetly recommend this plate if you like mole!
Enchiladas Suizas
The enchiladas suizas were excellent! Great authentic flavor, just the right spiciness and very filling. This is my favorite dish.
Chile Verde
The Chile verde is delicious but more than that the atmosphere is authentic. The servers are extremely accommodating you get such a feeling of home and warmth. Once you experience Elvira's you'll look forward to the next time!!'
