El Jefe

El Jefe
4.5 / 5 (476 reviews)

Description

Modern, tapas-style Mexican spot wins praise for inventive tacos, street corn, fish tacos, bold cocktails and a strong local beer list, plus pleasant outdoor seating and COVID-safe practices. Service and order accuracy are inconsistent — occasionally slow or rude — and salsas trend overly sweet. Portions can be small and some drinks/spirits feel weak. Stylish and casual, it’s a good pick for cocktail and beer lovers seeking creative, nontraditional Mexican-inspired fare, but not for purists after authentic flavors.

Unexpected gem! They are making a strong effort to adhere to Covid safety guidelines. It's a bit pricey, but the food is incredibly delicious! Definitely give the sweet potato fries a try – they were quite unique.

I had a fantastic experience at this restaurant. The food was exceptional, and I highly recommend the fish tacos! My service was outstanding, thanks to a waitress named Clementine. They also serve excellent jalapeño margaritas. I would definitely return!
