First the good: Food is well seasoned and flavorful. The variety and options to change the protein source is great. The green rice is so good, order extra. Now the not so good: We've ordered from them several times and our order has never been correct....not once. We like our Chimichanga's extra, extra crispy and most of the time they are darn near soggy. most of the time the sides are lukewarm to cool, not very appetizing. We've always ordered take out and even during the very worst of covid-19, they were not wearing gloves or masks. It makes me wonder if food prep sanitation measures are being met. read more

Don't waste your money. The chips and salsa are half decent, but the food was not good at all. Think Taco Bell if you order their tacos. Rice and beans were cold. They're closing their store down to three days a week now it's probably a good idea. read more

Elle Cocina - "Crunchy" Beef taco. Hardly any lettuce, tomato or cheese. Soggy shell. - Tex-Mex Near Me - Trenton, Florida

Good service. The food is delicious. Get the green rice and the street corn. Wish they could make a real margarita though. Don't make a special trip but if you're in the area, it's worth the stop. read more

The Mexican food was awesome! Prepared and cooked to perfection! The service was prompt and courteous, employee check on food wasn't invasive and refills were automatic. The decor was bright and festive. We really enjoyed the experience. read more

I order a chicken and cheese quesadillas two of them tell me why when I get home there is no chicken on them but instead black beans why would I spend $50 to not even have my food right! And when I call to order the employee taking my order was so slow and uneducated it wasn't even funny. read more

See all

The tacos are pretty good. The rice is a little bit dry. Other than that it was good food.

As a family we used to eat here at least 3 times a week, and now we haven't been happy with the food quality or taste the last 3 times we have eaten there, what a shame from top to bottom in our opinion read more

We are Mexican and Tex Mex junkies. We came upon this place with a gps search and we're glad we did. Actually it didn't come up on the search, maybe to new, gps hasn't been updated in a while. Two other restaurants came up but both were closed. Lucky for us. Plenty of parking, the decor is fantastic, and the food is creative, fresh , and very good. If you are looking for standard fare Mexican food, large portions, heavy on the cheese this may not be your place. But I would encourage you to try it anyway. Our server was Christina, upbeat, helpful, attentive and not hoovering. Ann had a burrito that was delicious I had tacos very good. The sides put this place over the top to a 5 star review. I could make a meal of the Mexican rice and the refried beans. Not sure how they built such flavour into the refried beans but they were the best I have ever had and I have had many. Ann said the Margaritas were great. We sat in the booths that were built in and very comfortable we were eyeing the patio seating and will try that next visit, oh yes we will be back. Heads up if you want to have Christina to serve you make your stop evenings or weekends. We might see you there. read more

Elle Cocina - Logo - Tex-Mex Near Me - Trenton, Florida

First off, not 1 member of the staff is wearing a mask or gloves. The place was empty when we arrived so we figured it would be ok. Within minutes of placing our orders the place filled up. Apparently masks are not a thing in Trenton as we were the only ones wearing one. Not one customer entered the restaurant with a mask. We had the shrimp taco/enchilada combo and Diablo burrito. Both were very tasty. Both meals had some heat. Chips & salsa were fresh and appear to be home made. Lack of safety measures in this time of pandemic drops the rating from 4 to 1. read more

Food gets worse every time they offer a new entree. The person who comes up with these recipes thinks they are Tex-mex. Having been raised up in that part of the country, I can assure you that they are not. If you are looking for avant-guard food that remotely resembles Mexican, then this place might be for you. Don't go here if you are expecting authentic Mexican food. read more

Quaint restaurant. Waitress was good and the hostess was very polite. Starting with homemade chips and salsa that are great then dinner of chimichanga, burritos, tacos and rice bowls that are amazing...love this place read more

We didn't know what to expect walking in - there's a drive thru coffee window outside and we weren't sure what type of place we were walking into but we're feeling adventurous. The young servers were friendly and the food was good. The taco meal was filling and the chipotle chicken salad was terrific. read more

The Cowboy Brisket Tacos were excellent.. and the street corn and cilantro rice yummy!!! read more

Elle Cocina - Cowboy Brisket Tacos.. wonderful! - Tex-Mex Near Me - Trenton, Florida

LEGIT. Do yourself a favor and check them out. You will not be disappointed. Everything from the fresh chips & salsa to the donkey burrito was incredible. Service was on point too. For "small town USA - they've got their A game dialed in. You can thank me later. read more

This was an excellent find! Best Tex-Mex food we've had in a while...and out in the middle of no where! If you want things a little extra spicy...ask for the "yellow bird condiments". The habanero or ghost pepper option will definitely kick it up for you! Our selections were: Cauliflower Rice Bowl with Grilled Chicken, Donkey Burrito, Cowboy Burrito, Baja Fish Tacos. Sides: Mexican Rice, Cilantro Rice, Mexican Corn, Jalapeño Corn Muffin. Yummy endless chips and salsa...and cold beer and Margaritas! Each thing we tasted was DELICIOUS!! Highly recommend trying Elle Cocina!!! read more

First of all I apologize for waiting so long to complete this review sometimes life gets in the way of life! My wife took me here on the evening of March 15th we did come a little late but were seated and attended to quickly. Upon arrival we found ample parking both in the lot and street side along NW 1st Ave. approaching from the corner in through the lot I noticed a two post stand with a menu and speaker on it, however I forgot to ask if they had a drive through of sorts although I did not see anything that would be such. The restaurant is situated in a former home that has been redone and transformed into a really nice and functional venue. Our drink chips and house salsa was brought out quickly and I requested a sample of their house salsa verde I was pleasingly impressed with it great flavor and ample heat with great body I could have drank a quart of it! The staff appeared quite knowledgeable of the menu as well as the cooking style of the chef of the kitchen. My Wife ordered the Brisket dinner special with the street corn and the Spanish rice she was very satisfied with her meal. Me on the other hand I ordered the Baja Shrimp Tacos with street corn and black beans. I felt that the tacos were great although I would like to have had a little cilantro in them the portion size was more than adequate though. The street corn is definitely the star of the show for me and the beans, the beans were basically beans dumped from a can with no soul and completely devoid of any passion for the greatness of what this simple staple of Tex-Mex cuisine is and can be. I talked with my server about the beans and she sent the owner herself to the table I was very impressed that she, Ellen, took the time to discuss my meal with me and offered to comp the entire bill I declined her offered I really enjoyed talking with her and I will return when it's not just before closing and the kitchen isn't in the wind down mode. Before leaving Ellen brought a complimentary dish to me to have at home Chicken Enchilada Suizas all I can say is OMG what a pleasant surprise absolutely amazing so full of flavor and happiness this will definitely be a target in my next visit. I gave them five stars, yes I was disappointed with my black beans however with the direct customer support from the not only the wait staff but the owner herself and especially the gift of the Chicken Enchilada Suizas showed me that this place has so much more to offer than what one would gather from a simple visit for a late meal. I will certainly return and I hope that y'all will give them a try as well. Be sure and try the salsa verde and take a moment to speak with Ellen if she is available she's a great owner and very involved. read more

Do yourself a favor and don't waste your time visiting this restaurant. Queso is as thin as water. The salsa is thicker than water but actually taste like water. I know times are tuff right now but to nickel and dime you . If I visit a Mexican restaurant I don't expect to be charged for the hot sauce . I've been a few times and every time I visit it reminds me why I go elsewhere . Today was the last visit. read more

Little hidden gem in Trenton. Fresh food, nice staff, good price. Try the street corn.

Great little spot! Unique flavors and lots of keto options, which is amazing! We go here often for a quick family dinner. Clean, friendly and they have daily specials. read more

Service was good the food was ok only if you like processed food like the chicken is processed it's not real chicken and the quesadillas are LOADED with cheese more than anything else the pulled pork and pulled chicken is not fresh off the grill it's like the kind you would buy in bulk off the back of a sysco truck we only go to this place when we are tired of eating everywhere else which is probably twice a year good luck and enjoy read more

Place is a joke! A taco is just a minor amount of meat and cheese in a tiny shell. No flavor at all... if I owned this place I would be embarrassed to show my face in the place. The 10 dollar burrito wasn't close to being worth the money... I know COVID is hitting restaurants hard but this place isn't affected much at all here in Trenton Florida. All of the restaurants stay plenty busy and do good business. We ordered online and picked it up and they waited until we got there to tell us they didn't have any quesadillas. read more

Elle Cocina - Rice is dry taco is laughable for the price. - Tex-Mex Near Me - Trenton, Florida

Service was great but food, not so much. Ordered crispy chicken sandwich. Not crispy at all, chicken said breast but was processed!! Rice and beans were cold. Beans seemed to be out of a can and doctored up a little, but taste like canned. Horrible diarrhea within 30 minutes. Very disappointing. read more

I love Tex mex but this place takes the cake! I was excited about the opportunity to chimi my burrito but it came out over fried and greasy with no sauce on top. Not cool bros. The baked potato soup was good but a little under seasoned and it seemed out of place. Come on guys grab the salt! My wife had the chili which she said was too spicy and had BEANS in it so we sent it back. The server rolled his eyes as he turned to take the soup back to the kitchen, whipping his runny nose on his sleeve. We waited 25 minutes after we were done eating to get the check before finally raising our hand to get the servers attention. All in all we will not be going back. read more

It's. So. Delicious. We are from out of town and stop in every chance we get. Everything is amazing.

Great food, you wont be disappointed. The flavor train is off the chain. Chips are perfect (thin and crispy. Talent!

I've been to many Mexican/Tex-Mex all over the country. This is one of the best that I've been to. Food is great as well as the service. Been there three times and weeks. read more

So glad we found this place in Trenton while visiting family. Not super visible from the road; we would have missed it if we hadn't been searching for nearby restaurants on our phones. In a cute little old house, well maintained and nicely decorated. As first timers, our server offered to let us sample their brisket, chicken, and ground beef as well as their signature sauces so we could make an informed decision. I was skeptical of Tex-Mex in Florida, but their brisket street tacos were legit. My dad vouched for the burrito, and we both enjoyed the cilantro rice. They even had a Keto menu if you're into that kind of thing. Everything was very reasonably priced. We will be back before we leave town! read more

This was a great unexpected find. The food was outstanding. Started with perfectly thin chips and salsa. Then We got the donkey burrito and loved the large chunks of white meat. Hubby said it's his new favorite burrito!! Don't miss out getting the delicious sides. The cilantro rice and street corn were delish. read more
