1999 film written, directed by and starringstand-up comedian Mitch Hedberg . The film is loosely based on his life growing up inMinnesota and his experience working in restaurants. It parodies a chain Mexican restaurant in a suburb of St. Paul, Minnesota, on the day before Cinco de Mayo (the busiest day of the year for Mexican restaurants). The storyline follows an ensemble cast of absurd characters that work in and visit the restaurant throughout the course of one day.The cast is composed of many of Mitch's comedian friends and rounded out by local Minnesota actors.
Three 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 ridiculously inauthentic Los Enchiladas."Los Enchiladas!" premiered at the 1999 Sundance Film Festival, and has only been shown publicly a handful of times since then, at comedy festivals and tributes to the deceased director.
