Great Service and Food
We stopped in for Margaritas and appetizers, and the service and food were both outstanding. The bartenders were friendly and professional. The quesadillas and guacamole were very tasty. We're considering going back for dinner later in our stay in Reno.

Asked for no garlic, and sure enough there was garlic
Overall the dish was good, but it is irritating having to check your food, flag down the server and wait to get it corrected.

Food ok service not the greatest
We have been to several Mexican restaurants so we know the food.
Here is was ok. The refried beans were a bit watery. The food just average.
We we seated and we were addressed right away so we ordered 2 margaritas. Well we must have sat 20 min before we got our drinks. Our meal came at the same time.
Not so good. The bar wasn't that busy.
We most likely would not revisit this establishment.

New Place, Good Taste
Had dinner here one evening with friends and tried their chicken enchilada plate. Very tasty and authentic. Being inside the Circus Circus Hotel and Casino, there are lots of people and things to look at. They have a full bar as well, but I didn't order any adult beverages. Professional and courteous wait staff. I will be returning here soon to try another dish.

Not the best choice for Mex
El Jefe is easy to find, and co-located with a sushi restaurant. There is plenty of seating. The service for us was a bit slow, which was interesting since there were very few other diners. The food wasn't all that--I had the street tacos and the tortillas were mushy. The tacos needed some seasoning--I used the salsa. The beans were bland, but the rice was okay. Hussongs around the corner in the Silver Legacy Hotel is a much better fix for getting your Mex on.
