Welcome to
Where Family, Faith, and Flavor Come Together.

Our Story
What began as a dream between husband and wife — Elder & Nancy — has grown into a gathering place rooted in faith, family, and flavor. Drawing from generations of Mexican and Guatemalan tradition, every dish is prepared with the same care we'd give our own family at home.
We believe the table is sacred — a place where strangers become friends, and friends become family. Our doors are open. Come hungry.

Meet the owners
Elder & Nancy are the heart of this restaurant — a husband-and-wife team who poured their faith, family recipes, and Guatemalan-Mexican heritage into every corner of this place.
As a Christian-owned business, they built Elder's to be more than a restaurant: a table where neighbors become family, every plate is made with care, and the Lord is honored in the work of their hands.
"Know that the Lord is God. It is He who made us, and we are His."
