About Elote

Elote serves fresh, innovative Mexican food using local products and sustainable practices in the heart of downtown Tulsa.

Founded in 2008 with just five employees Elote has grown from a small lunch spot to a key contributing restaurant in the revitalization of the Deco District hosting community events including Salsafest, Chihuahua races, Cinco de Mayo, The art Alley, Drag Brunch and Lucha Libre wrestling. Elote has also led the city with its sustainable practices such as recycling, composting, using biodegradable to-go boxes and shopping locally.

Elote is owned and operated by Libby Billings a Tulsa native, Booker T. Washington alumni & OSU IT Culinary School graduate. Billings has no investors and is proud to be a role model for other women and girls who want to follow their entrepreneurial dreams.
