Description: Restaurant health and safety complaint: I visited El Jefe’s this around 10pm on Sunday, 22. I am concerned the restaurant is not operating up to code. An employee cleared their throat/coughed, without covering her cough, over a food prep area. She did not properly clean or sanitize the area or wash her hands, and she continued preparing food. Two parts of my meal were overcooked and inedible. First, the nutella empanada crumbled when I picked it up, and the nutella inside was hard. Nutella is supposed to be almost a peanut butter-like consistency at room temperature. Also, my plantains were much more difficult to chew than normal. When I recieved my food, it was only a little warm. I would expect food to arrive warm enough to melt cheese, but the cheese on my tacos never melted. I am concerned food is not being stored at safe temperatures, or being kept out for too long.
