I threw a surprise birthday party for my husband back in April 21st of 2023. We had around 25 30 people show up. I called several places prior and pretty much all of them refused to accommodate that amount of people. El Jefe was the only restaurant that welcomed me and my party with open arms!

We went to El Jefe 's on May 11th for happy hour prior to an event at Studio TimeOut. Food and drinks were great. Staff was beyond rude and the male staff member said I was cut off , apparently because I was talking to two black girls at the bar, having fun and laughing. Obviously they have a no fun code that I wasn 't aware of! View all feedback.
It 's not a bad spot for some tacos and other options, but it 's pretty overpriced. The food was tasty and the service was good, but nothing spectacular. Calling this spot okay really sums up everything perfectly.Vegetarian options: The vegetable tacos were good.
Enchiladas sauce tasted like canned tomatoes. Refried beans were unseasoned. Salsa was definitely from a jar or can. Chips ok.Food: 2/5

We were struggling to find places that served alcoholic flights, but stumbled across El Jefe. We arrived at 4 PM on a Saturday and were seated immediately. Margarita flights were $29 for four (tangletown, blackberry ginger, tepache, and blood orange mezcal and we ordered the guacamole with house made chips and a side of queso. Margaritas were the perfect size. Tepache (pineapple was our favorite and I can’t wait to go back to order it in the full size. Blood orange mezcal was our least favorite; it was very “smoke flavored.” The guacamole was THE BEST ever fresh, flavorful, delicious. We usually love queso, but it was very bland. Our server was on top of everything, cheerful, friendly – a delight (thank you, Dayrin! . We’re already planning our next visit to try the street tacos. One negative is their hours – 4 9 PM only.
We’ve been regulars since they first opened their doors and love that they are in our neighborhood.We love everything on the menu!Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is due to being closed all winter which was a major bummer because we used to go even on the coldest night of the year and especially because they don’t have the avocado fries any more! ?It was our favorite item on the menu.
