Breakfast: leftover salad from last night, hot water. Lunch: an almond croissant that Patrick brought home from Le Marais. Nap. Walked and rode Muni to dinner at Elena's, our first time dining at this upscale Mexican restaurant. We walked in West Portal some before dining. Drinks: Patrick had mezcal margarita, I had frozen dole whip margarita. We shared: ahi crudo, tortilla soup, shrimp fajitas (half corn, half flour tortillas). Dessert: chocoflan. Our server mistakenly forgot to place our order after having taken it and realized this shortly after a neighboring table that arrived after us received their appetizer. We weren't in a hurry, and they were very apologetic and gave us a generous discount. We very much enjoyed all the food and drink. Patrick especially liked the tortilla soup. He had expected it to be brothy but this version was thicker. For a complimentary second round of drinks, Patrick had a mezcal negroni, and I had La Maracuya. We enjoyed the plates, high ceilings, the papel picado, and all the decor. $146 before tip. Walked and rode Muni home. Patrick went to bed. Google Meet chat with Lani and Dex.
