| - MY FAVORITE FANCY MEXICAN RESTAURANT IN VEGAS
This is my favorite Mexican restaurant in Las Vegas. It is fancy Mexican, not the authentic stuff that you'll find at the (awesome) Fausto's / Roberto's / Maria's.
We've been here many times and will go back often. We used to get the TASTE OF EJ JEFE'S which is a combination of their three omost popular entrees served together: Sabana de Pollo, Avocado Crusted Mahi-Mahi and one Lobster Enchilada ($17.95). The Sabana de Pollo is good, but we fell in love with the other two entrees. Now my girlfriend gets the AVACADO CRUSTED MAHI-MAHI and I get the pair of LOBSTER ENCHILADAS. Both are outstanding.
But this isn't just about great entrees. They have spoiled me on their chips. They are my favorite and I catch myself saying "These aren't as good as El Jefe's chips" anytime I eat at other Mexican restaurants. The salsas are pretty good, too.
They have a full bar but they have really good SANGARIAS. REALLY good. I don't drink much these days but I do have a sangaria almost every time I go. They don't put enough ice in them, but I'd rather them put more sangaria in my glass and let me put ice cubes from my water.
While I do enjoy dessert, I try to not eat it often. I figure that if I"m paying for a meal I should eat it, and besides, it's better for me. And while I'm not frugal, it doesn't make sense for me to order $15-$20 of sweets (for three of us) that we really don't need.
That said, I LOVE their AUTHENTIC FRIED ICE CREAM! Their dessert menu is full of yummy selections, but it is rare to get REAL ice cream that has been fried. Our family loves cinnamon and the crispy coating is perfect, so this is a big hit for us. One order will certainly satisfy a three person family.
The atmosphere blows away most Mexican restaurants. While this isn't fine dining, it is definitely upscale. It's fancier than Super Mex or Chevy's, not much more expensive, and MUCH better food quality. The bar is separate from the dining area (although you can see each from the other), is full service, and rather large.
The rumor that I heard is that the guy who founded the place years ago started it up near the Galleria mall. (I ate there years ago and it was just as good then.) He ended up opening three locations but right after opening the third, he died in a small airplane crash. The rumor continues to go on to say that without him running things, the business needed to contract into one establishment so they closed all of them except the one on Eastern just north of St. Rose Pkwy.
I have noticed that there is a big room in the back that could seat probably 30-40 people. I suspect that if you're looking for a place to hold a meeting that they would be more than happy to coordinate that with you.
If you like or love Mexican food you really need to check out El Jefe's. There isn't anything that I would change and I have only had great meals there. Enjoy!
Awesome. Mahi, Lobster Enchiladas, Fried Ice Cream.
