El Jefe's Cantina at Circus Circus at The ROW 500 North Sierra Street, Reno, NV 89503

"We decided to eat at El Jefe’s Cantina at Circus Circus at the Row in Reno. I ended eating the Quesabirria (Braised Beef Shortribs, Asadero Cheese, Chopped White Onions, Cilantro And a Delicious Consommé). My wife opted for the Chicken Fajita which came on a Sizzling Platter and Flour Tortillas. Ohhh Boy…Both Plates were DELICIOUS!!! Also, our Server, “Mitchell C.” Was OUTSTANDING!!! Highly Recommended!!!"

"My partner and I went right when El Jefe opened around 5 PM. We were greeted and seated quickly. Our server was also quick. He was friendly and attentive to our requests. We were early enough for happy hour, so I was able to enjoy a half priced margarita and ordered nachos with carne asada for myself. My partner got the pork belly tacos. The food was really good and the portions definitely matched the price. The only thing that kept this from being a 5 star experience was that my partners cup of iced tea had several pieces of debris floating in it. We couldn't tell if it was tobacco or leftover food residue or what. My partner didn't even notice until he'd drained most of the glass because the bits were trapped underneath the ice. When we showed our server, he told us something about the tea being brewed in house so maybe it was from the tea brewing process? This didn't really make sense, especially when the second glass of ice tea had NOTHING floating in it."

"Not bad for Gringo Mex! Our server was awesome!Caleb! We will definitely go back!"

"Excellent food but expect long waits for both seats and service. This restaurant is located inside one of the large casinos in Reno and is easy to access. It’s located in the second floor and has spread out seating as well as a centrally located bar. No outdoor seating due to it being inside a casino. Food here was excellent! They have a limited but delicious offering of various Mexican dishes and cocktails. The food was well prepared and delicious. The cocktails were well prepared and had enough liquor to justify the cost. Prices were fair but a bit pricy. We waited about 30 minutes to be seated and there was a line queued up. Once seated, it took about 45 minutes to get our food. This is likely because of staffing shortages or popularity. I recommend this spot if your visiting casinos and want to eat during the same stop!"
