• Mexican • Highlands

Booked 11 times today

Our menu is inspired by the Mexican regions of Yucatán, Oaxaca, and Veracruz. We strive to respect the influences and traditions of these diverse cultures to bring you food that is uniquely El Jefe. We believe in doing things the right way. Not because it’s trendy or cool, but because it’s right. We change our menu with the grow season, supporting our neighbors and the terroir of Colorado. We are not your average Mexican joint, rather a reflection of our environment and beliefs. We hand make our tortillas every day. All of our pork comes from one whole hog. Our chefs breakdown the whole animal, for chorizo, appetizers, stocks, soups, and entrees. Nothing is wasted. We do this out of respect for the animal and for the people who raised them for us. Anything we can produce in our kitchen is done by us, with love. No frills, just good food. We do an amazing brunch on the weekends, and by default or menu is nearly 100% gluten free.

When you step in, you literally escape from CO and enter a vibrant, upscale and beautifully well lit restaurant with beautiful LED lights everywhere. You can come on a date or a large group and the food does not pale in comparison to other Chinese cuisines in Vegas and other cities! Lots of amazing dishes but I can’t help to call out how the green beans are an absolute fave even for the kiddos! Definitely returning often!

Corbin was attentive to our table and made a great experience for us. Food- calamari, dessert and pasta were great. The steak was tender and flavorful, too much seasoning detracted from it being great. Very good cocktail and wine list. A nice surprise for a restaurant in a hotel.

We have tried numerous Italian restaurants in northern Colorado, at all price levels, from Boulder to Fort Collins, and this is the best restaurant to date - excellent freshly made mozzarella, interesting salads, and an outstanding entree (chicken piccata). We are both looking forward to returning and trying something else on their extensive menu!
