I go by Elana's often. They have the best Cuban sandwiches in town. The black beans and rice is great too. Order the congri. It's black beans and rice mixed together. The beef empanadas are great too. Eat inside or go through their drive thru which is convenient for lunch breaks. Highly recommend this place!

I've had many items on their menu and everything has been really tasty. They don't have a soda fountain, only ice tea and bottled/canned soft drinks, but the food is very good.
