Where shall I begin? Let's start with the margarita's. I never thought that the free strip margs would find their way into Henderson and onto my table. It is the first time I have ever returned a margarita and possibly the only time I have ever returned anything with booze in it. On a positive note the chips and salsa are awesome,indicating an exciting meal to come. I WAS BAMBOOZLED!!! Cheese enchiladas were crepes with mozzarella inside smothered with Chef Boyardee tomato sauce (we dubbed this concoction a ""cheese enchiloni"") and served with ranch beans and rice pilaf. In fact all El Jefe entrees are served with ranch beans and rice pilaf. I hate El Jefe!! Next my party and I were presented with shrimp tacos that seemed vaguely asian inspired and a beef taco that i'm pretty sure was filled with dog food. When we mentioned the bizarreness of the flavors to our Mexican waiter, he explained that they cater to ""an American palate."" As an American, I'm insulted. Coincidentally, our car battery died as we were driving home, and while we sat at the gas station waiting for a jump, we had plenty of time to discuss and analyse our meal. I don't know what kind of food El Jefe does serve, but it's certainly not Mexican. It is, however, disgusting. The weirdest meal I've ever eaten.
