I really believe Mr. Hedberg's heart is on his sleeve in this movie. Nice jabs against capitalism - interesting characters - decent storyline. It was hard to hear some of the dialogue due to the low-quality audio; but I thoroughly enjoyed watching this. Mitch Hedberg (I wrote out his name due to the minimum character limit imposed by this site) produced this with his own money (which is pretty obvious - don't be looking for high-production value here - in ways similar to Fast Times at Ridgemont High). I saw an interview of Mitch Hedberg and you could see that the film meant a lot to him and he was proud of the script. Dude is legend - wish he had others onboard with him - the same script could have been more polished and subsequently more appreciated.
This movie went nowhere; Like a puddle on the concrete after a hot summer rain it was shallow and dried up quick. Don't know why this movie currently ranks above a 3. Mitch Hedberg's stand up was funny, but he was still lacking serious popularity - His "life style" issues and subsequent death didn't help. I never laughed once at this movie, not even a chuckle and I nearly fell asleep waiting for any spark of a plot. Centering the theme around a fast food restaurant is lame. Maybe if Mitch would have incorporated his humor/jokes into this movie, added some romance, a love story and most of all any resemblance of a main plot it might have had some redeeming value. As it was, watching a pack of mutts going in circles sniffing their butts would have been funnier. Jana Johnson (Amy) was the only bright spot - should have been a love interest of a romance story, and "Amy" could have had some physical sex appeal. Perhaps it ranks higher than its worth because of Mitch's death just as he was showing signs of blossoming - Mitch Hedberg fans are emotionally confused and objectivity went out the window. Mitch said he submitted his script to several movie makers and it was rejected, I can understand why.
I though maybe this was a case of a decent movie that didnt get the exposure it needed and never got popular. Nope... It's just badly done throughout. The acting (if it can be called that) ranges from "meh" to terrible. Really bad music. Bad dialog. Tried watching this three times and couldn't watch more than 15 minutes of it. Yes it is bad. Skip it you aren't missing anything
Los Enchiladas is hysterical with a perfect cast of characters and Mitch's cool in acting and writing permeates throughout the film. It leaves you wanting more.
The Austin Film Festival sponsored a tribute to Mitch Hedberg at the Capitol City Comedy Club in Austin May 23rd, 2005 The sold out event was emotional and bittersweet attended by Mitch's fans, friends and family. Mitch fans were treated to home movies and performances that gave a private and personal glimpse to his genuineness and genius.
I hope as many people see the film as possible and keep Mitch's legacy alive. He is already missed.

Love Mitch but movie was awful. Probably cost $500 to make.Mitch has funny ideas but the photography wasn't good at all. Looks like they just threw this thing together . Too bad he left us too soon. It would have been fun to see him develop even more as an entertainer. I couldn't even watch more than 5 min.

- TriviaThree different local restaurants were used to portray the film's restaurant; one for the dining room scenes, a second for the kitchen scenes, and a third for the outside of the restaurant, which was a Chi-Chi's that Mitch actually worked at many years before and was the main inspiration for the film.
