Elsa’s Boro Cantina
Located right in the heart of Springboro on North Main Street, Elsa’s® Boro Cantina brings that classic Elsa’s flavor to one of the most charming small towns in the Miami Valley. Whether you’re a longtime Elsa’s fan or brand new to the magic of Super Burritos and Bad Juans, this spot has everything you need for a great lunch, dinner, or casual night out.
Boro Cantina delivers the full Elsa’s experience—great food, fast service, and drinks that will sneak up on you—in a clean, bright space that feels just a little more polished than some of the rowdier locations. It’s perfect for families, date nights, or catching up with friends after work.
What We Ate
We started with the chips and salsa, of course. You can’t go to Elsa’s and not get the chips. They come out hot, crisp, and addicting. We also got a side of queso, because if there’s warm cheese on the menu, we’re ordering it.
I (Katie) stuck with my favorite—the Super Burrito with Chicken. It’s one of those meals that hits every time. Big, saucy, packed with seasoned meat and cheese, and absolutely satisfying. You’ll need both hands and a serious appetite.
Jonas ordered the Buffalo Chicken Bowl without the bleu cheese. It’s spicy, filling, and a little lighter than the burrito, but still delivers on flavor. It’s one of his usual picks when he’s not trying to convince me to order wings “for the table.”
The Notorious Bad Juan
Let’s talk drinks—because if you know Elsa’s, you know the Bad Juan is a legend. These margaritas are strong, smooth, and deceptively easy to sip.
One night, I made the bold decision to have three (don’t do that). Jonas and a few friends were with me. Our friends were cracking up—Jonas just watched with that classic mix of amusement and concern… mostly amusement. One Bad Juan is fun, two is bold, three is a story you’ll be reminded of forever.
What We Love About This Location
Boro Cantina stands out for its fresh, updated feel. It’s bright, open, and feels just a little more modern than some of the other locations—but still keeps that relaxed, no-frills Elsa’s charm. The staff is friendly, the food comes out quick, and there’s plenty of seating whether you’re at the bar, a table, or snagging a booth.
Plus, it’s right in Springboro, so it’s a great stop if you’re out running errands, meeting friends, or grabbing a casual bite before heading home.
Final Thoughts
Elsa’s Boro Cantina brings everything we love about Elsa’s to Springboro—with great food, friendly service, and those unforgettable drinks. Whether you’re a Bad Juan veteran or just in the mood for some top-tier wings and burritos, this place is well worth the visit.
