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.

Good margaritas
My husband and I stopped here before going to a concert. We sat at the bar for a snack of tacos and margaritas. Mike the bartender is super nice and attentive and makes a mean margarita. The only complaint was how slow they were to make our food. A total of r tacos took almost 30 min and the restaurant was almost empty. No bueno.

Nice establishment, average fiid
This is a new restaurant with (obviously) Mexican cuisine. The establishment itself is modern and vibrant....with a nice open feel.
The service was friendly and prompt, and the prices were fair.
Unfortunately, the food left much to be desired. Chips and salsa were average. I ordered fish tacos and found them just very bland.
Disappointing as I've yet to find a decent restaurant in the big casinos downtown that isn't a steakhouse.

Great New Mexican Restaurant
Food was great but getting food took a while but it could have been due to only being open for 2 days and construction not being completed.
