Elvi’s Kitchen was opened in 1974 as a small take-out stand next to a large tree so that people could eat underneath it.  Now the restaurant has seriously expanded, the tree has passed away (rest in peace, buddy) but still stands in the middle of the much expanded dining room.  With wooden benches, bright colored tropical art, old turtle shells, and sand on the floor, the restaurant has an authentic feel.  And the service is great.   But I always go for the frozen Key Lime Pie.  It is delicious.  Tart with ginger snap crust and whip cream.  You need to try it when you visit. 

Many love the Mayan Buffet that they do on Friday nights.  I’ll be honest, I’ve never been.  I’m always a bit wary of buffets.  But that’s just me, they always have a great crowd. 

Many young boys were drawn away from the movie and across the street to the Cuban Cafe. where they were BLASTING salsa music and dancing young ladies  The draw?  BLASTING salsa music and young ladies dancing on the deck.  Strange marketing ploy.  It didn’t seem to bring in one customer.  How could you eat with that loud music or these girls grinding their hips practically on top of your table?  But the male youth of San Pedro seemed to be transfixed.
