A Foodie Review: Happy Hour Hot Shots visit Elements Eatery and Bar in South Lake Tahoe

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - Four long-time locals have started a new feature for South Tahoe Now. The "Happy Hour Hot Shots" will visit local eateries from time to time and report on their Happy Hour experiences in South Lake Tahoe.

Here is their first review!

Elements Eatery and Bar

This new spot is located at the corner of Lake Tahoe Blvd. and Fremont Avenue. We visited on June 10, 2024, and it was a great experience! We had four entries, the nachos, Smashburger, Quesadillas, and tacos.

First, we need to mention it was FAST and FRIENDLY SERVICE! Two owners checked with us a few times to see if we needed anything.

What we enjoyed:
Nachos: really good ingredients except cheese sauce
Quesadillas: Really good and large portions
Smashburger & Fries: They were great and large portions
Tacos: The Al Pastor w/pineapple was great. The Grilled Adobo Chicken was good, but not phenomenal

The restaurant is located right on the highway (across from the lake) and you can eat inside or outside. We chose outside but there wasn't a sound issue. We were able to have conversations and still hear each other.

The seating is nicely spaced.

We visited Elements anonymously and didn't tell anyone we were there to review them. We were welcomed a couple of times throughout our meal by a couple of the owners checking on how we were doing and asking how the food was.

We had incredibly speedy service!

Elements is a new eatery and we all thought they needed to attract people driving by and entice them to stop and eat. The sign is not strong enough to attract. Possibly flags or a banner?

Our unanimous decision was we are excited about this restaurant and we definitely want it to succeed!!!
