What User likes about Elephants Delicatessen:
I?ve been here many times. Each time I enjoy the great food. I had a fried calamari which was a tad bit over fried. It?s hard to get perfectly fried calamari. Anyway the shop is cute and so many different choices. They also carry a lot of prepackaged foodsboth their own and other?s. Some gift items sweets, etc. it is a fun shop to just visit too.

What Veronica Morales (Potranca de Oregon) doesn't like about Elephants Delicatessen:
Ordered green enchiladas. Complete fail. Was more of a lasagna and the chicken was like a puree. It was the most disgusting dish I have ever tasted. Looked like a nice place but they need to get real cooks. Unless this is the new genetically made chicken, green salsa enchilada. Nope! Was dry too. I’m not sure how they’re not embarrassed to serve this crap. View all feedback.
