Average Mexican food good not great server was very attentive and reasonable food times not very busy went there on Sunday night supper time coconut marg was the highlight
OK, first of all let me say we have been to this area before when it was a different name and a bunch of us came down here to try it out. The ambience in this place is pretty good still in the same spot in the old Harvey's casino which is now Caesars Republic service was OK. There was a group of us. We had the calamari and the chip cheese, guacamole dip, and both were really good some others had burgers and nachos And one had fajitas. Everything overall was pretty good. We will be back to try to give them more stars and try ... read more
We were shocked to get a last minute table for 7 on a busy Saturday night. Coco was our server and she was really hustling, lots of tables. Our food was solid, my taco salad was fresh with plenty of carnitas and guacamole. My husband loved his enchiladas and said they were some of the best he's ever tasted. Prices are high but seems like everything is spendy in this casino so not out of line. Next time I hope to try a margarita!
Service was really fast and attentive the entire meal. Our waiter was great husband got the honey hot wings and elite corn. Both came packed with flavor and large portions. I got the pawn tostada Vera Cruz style. There were a lot of shrimp and they tasted great. The plate could have easily been shared for two. Our Modelo micheladas were very tasty and had just the right balance of spice! Highly recommend
We had a great time at El Jefe's Cantina, I would give it another star if it wasn't so expensive! We went here to use a $100 Caesars reward on a restaurant, so we just ended up paying the difference on our bill. But I would never pay the full price! Costs aside, the food was very delicious. The chips and guacamole were very good, and it came with three salsas too. The chips were warm and fresh. My fiancé loved his carnitas chalupa, he thought the outside was crisp and the size was good. I got the Baja snapper tacos, and th... read more

Situated on the second floor of the Circus Circus kept the cigarette smoke to a minimum. The food was delicious and the service was great. Here's where the bad comes in, I have never in my life paid for chips and salsa. The salsa was good there wasn't a lot of it. If you have to pay for it, I expect it to come in a container bigger than what you would put a side of salad dressing in. I'm not sure we would come again, but the food was good enough.
Based on an experience 05/17 @ 830pm; 3 stars for being *meh, just ok*. The service is the best thing about this casino restaurant. The waiters pay attention to the customers and are very much on top of taking care of the tables. It's definitely not authentic Mexican food, and is equivalent to a less tasty, sit-down Chipotle or Qdoba. The orders usually come out fast because most things are prepped, made and ready to be assembled. Careful when ordering from the menu, though. They include things on items that aren't alway... read more
Solid casino Mexican spot. We've eaten here a few times and every meal has been solid. We always start with the guac and chips which comes with 3 types of salsa's. A regular red salsa, chipotle and a verde with warm, fresh chips. The guac is solid. A decent size and is always a crowd pleaser. For dinner I've had all 3 type of fajitas and after tonight I think the shrimp has been my favorite. Tons of peppers and onions (I always ask for no gross seed oil in the skillet) and yummy grilled fresh shrimp. A few corn tortillas i... read more
