Elena's Filipino Lunchwagon has been serving the finest Filipino food in Hawaii for over 40 years, originating from a small kitchen in Waipahu where Elena and Theo Butuyan founded Elena's Restaurant in 1974.

With a legacy of creating unique and flavorful Filipino dishes, Elena's has garnered recognition as the best Filipino restaurant in Hawaii, featured on various food and dining television shows and consistently awarded for their culinary excellence. From traditional favorites to one-of-a-kind creations, Elena's remains a beloved destination for authentic Filipino cuisine in the heart of Kapolei.
