What OpenTable Diner doesn't like about El Hefe:
It was not crowded but the music was super loud. The service was awful we waited and waited for our food which was just fair. Worst vday date ever. Thank goodness she decided to go out with me again. View all feedback. What Megusta likes about El Hefe:
Food was some of the best Mexican food I’ve had in quite a while. Only complaint was the loud rap music and the drunk guy dancing up and down the aisles. That being said, I understand we’re near a college campus so I get who the primary market is. Service was great and tacos and queso were amazing so this old guy would come back despite the music!

I love their tacos and their margaritas. I really didn't think I liked Tacos until I tried them! Taco Tuesday is the best in this place!
