Review of El Jefe Desert Cantina

I stumbled upon this restaurant by chance while perusing Find Me GF during the drive from the airport… and I sure am glad I did. The waitstaff is so understanding of celiac, and I felt very safe and reassured. I hadn’t had a churro since my celiac diagnosis, and these churros made the wait completely worth it! I literally dreamt about them that night. This place was so good that we came back the next night too. Plus, the entire hotel design is super funky, so you really can’t go wrong.
