My husband and I sat at the bar during our visit, and we were greeted right away by Rae. She was incredibly bubbly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. We've been here a few times, and she was by far the best bartender we've had. She really made our night just by being herself and going the extra mile to ensure we had a great experience. The margaritas were fantastic, and we both really enjoyed our fajitas as well. We'll definitely be back! 

Business response:

We are delighted to hear about your wonderful experience with Rae! Her bubbly and attentive service truly shines. Thanks for choosing El Jefe's Cantina again!

We walked on over from Top Golf and right into El Jefe's and we were not disappointed. The queso fundido was amazing!!! There was eight of us and we ordered two orders of it. We should have ordered three. It went really quick. My wife had the queso birria tacos and she said it was amazing. She loved it. I had the wet carnitas burrito and it very very good. The drinks were a bit strong but our server fixed it right away. Speaking of our server, big shout out to Natalie. She had only been there a week and did a great job. Fr... read more

Food was decent, but not enough to for a return visit. Service was timely and attentive for a busy weekend. We had Cadillac Margaritas but had a hard time even drinking them. 

Business response:

Thank you for your feedback about the food and service. We're sorry the Cadillac Margaritas didn't meet expectations.

The Cadillac margaritas were okay. I could taste the taquila but it was a little sweet. I ordered the pork tacos al pastor, one of my favorites. The rice and beans were good, the tacos good but memorable. 

Business response:

We appreciate your input on the Cadillac margaritas and pork tacos al pastor. We'll share your feedback about sweetness with our team.

First off, we arrived early, so decided to greet others as they were walking by and no complaints from anyone, we actually made folks smile! Liberty was our host and she was great! The restaurant wasn't that full, so we were seated by Coco, she took our orders, but, unfortunately, we couldn't get a regular beef tostada. Anyhow, the food we did end up ordering was delicious! Chips, salsa and that guacamole!!!! Amazing. 

Business response:

Your positive feedback is greatly appreciated! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the food at El Jefe's Cantina. Thank you for sharing your experience with us.

Date night with the hubby. Decided to try El Jefe inside Circus Circus. We were sat immediately and within minutes brought waters. Our server came by and took our drink orders, when she brought our drinks we were ready to order our food. We ordered the the chips and 3 salsas as they don't have complemtary chips and salsa, the habanero lime salsa was the best in my opinion. My husband liked his Mexica Mule, my margarita was good but it was not spicy and I think they used jalapenos and not Serrano's, at least when I ate one of... read more

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!
