We were quickly welcomed and shown to our tables by a very friendly spanish waitress, who then took our drinks and food orders and was really really funny making it such a enjoyable experience, i believe we ordered 2 capirinhas that was made by a really handsome bartender who took it to our table and told us that it was his first time making the caipirinas but also did let us know that he was brasilian so we could trust it, very very polite and friendly bartender, and it did not disapoint they tasted wonderful . The food then came very quickly , it was amazing not only did it taste well but the bartender told us that most of the food and ice creams are homemade , very impresssive. The restourants sorroundings and atmosphere was soo suave with these beautiful white walls and spanish music made me feel like i was back in spain on my holiday!!! This is honestly such a great little restaurant that not enough people know about , i hope that most people who like spanish tapas and a good refreshing cocktail get to come and have an experience just as good as mine!! Highly recommend!!! read less

Having lived in Spain we knew what to expect from good tapas and our food met all our expectations. The menu choice was excellent and varied. The surroundings were very reminiscent of tapas bars in Spain and for a few hours we were transported back to Murcia, rather than the west end of Glasgow. We will cetrainly be back next time we are in town read less

Lynda hadn't experienced tapas and it had been a while since I had so we went for it.

Travelling in and out of Glasgow that afternoon we were delighted to hear from two separate taxi drivers that the restaurant had a great reputation so we knew we were onto a good thing.

My poor sense of timing got us there half an hour early which wasn't a problem as we were shown to the bar and ordered drinks whilst our table was prepared. Another good sign was that there were quite a few people in the restaurant speaking Spanish so again we knew that if the local Spanish population were going there that it should be good. The decor is simple, rustic and really creates an atmosphere of unhurried enjoyable eating.

We only had to wait around ten minutes and we were shown to our table and presented with an extensive menu. We were also presented with a small ball of potato with veg and spices in to try and it was marvellous. I asked how many dishes we should order between us to make a substantial meal and was told 6 and that was spot on.

So we ordered, beer battered shrimps, asparagus in batter with blue cheese dip, meatballs, olives, mixed potato croquettes and Spanish Mediterranean chicken and were given some fabulous moist bread. Having polished it all off we went for what we thought would be smallish easy desserts to finish up with. I went for chocolate mouse that was presented in a large tall glass and was delicious. Lynda went for the chocolate brownie without the ice cream which was still massive, three good size portions with cream, needless to say we couldn't finish dessert.

Add to all that 2 bottles of sparkling water and a large glass of white wine it all came to £62.25 which was exceptional value for money for a meal for two in Glasgow's West End on a Saturday night.

Its clearly a popular venue for the locals too as their were many families of many generations in there clearly enjoying the food and themselves.

Well done all at Elena's we will be back. read less

We went in on Saturday 18th September in to see if they had a table for 2 last minute. The team at the door were really friendly and even though were fully booked inside they kindly accommodated us on a table outside which suited us fine, as it was mild and their outside area was really nice and well covered. We were warned that there might be a delay with the food due to them being so busy inside, but we were happy to wait. The service we received from start to finish was top class, really attentive and knowledgeable, our food came out quickly and was fresh, hot and delicious. Really good tapas it reminded me of tapas we had in Spain. Drinks selection was great and the team were so friendly. We won’t leave it so long until our next visit. read less

My son has coeliacs so needs gluten free food. He ordered the vegetarian paella which was huge. Could easily have served four people, so we did all dive in. He also had some patas bravas, whilst we dived into other tapas, which was absolutely delicious.

They were really busy but the service and food was delicious and I'd have no hesitation returning (we were visiting from Newcastle).

I would say that the tapas, to us, wasn't bigger than other restaurants on the main. But they were still delicious and we were keen to support independent local business. read less

Food was fab the garlic prawns and asparagus where esp fab. 3 dishes each was plenty,I’d say the portions are larger than most Spanish tapas bars. Service was really good. We sat outdoors as this suits us. Free tapas to start with was a lovely touch. Looking forward to another visit. read less

My personal favourite dishes are the padron peppers, Garlic and chilli prawns, patatas ali oli, and lots of bread for dipping. The portions are bigger than tapas, so I recommend bringing as many friends as you can find and share lots of dishes. The staff are so friendly and approachable. I am already craving those prawns, I look forward to revisiting frequently. read less
