Elena's Home of Finest Filipino Foods, established in 1974 in Waipahu, Hawaii, has become a cornerstone of Filipino cuisine in the region, serving delicious dishes inspired by original family recipes. Known for its Pork Adobo Fried Rice Omelette and Sari-Sari soup, the restaurant has garnered numerous accolades and has been featured on popular culinary shows like Food Network's Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.

Founded by Elena and Theo Butuyan, the restaurant began as a small kitchen with just six stools and has since expanded to multiple outlets, including lunch trucks. With over four decades of service, Elena's continues to innovate while staying true to its roots, offering a unique blend of traditional and local flavors cherished by the community.
