is graced with a flotilla of chandeliers and a vivid painting of mountains as the sun sets. Quite the stages for comforts spanning chicken enchiladas and queso fundido — the best in town, a molten mass of cheese and mushrooms scattered with toasted quinoa and served with a scroll of excellent flour tortillas.Starr says he cares about offering “great food, but I wanted El Presidente to be fun,” too.
