"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."

So happy to have this place back open for the spring. We tried the meat platter last week with a side of rice and beans. Amazing dinner. It says for two, I shared it with four plus an order of chips guac which was more than enough for us.

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 menu

Food was amazing! I had the mole enchiladas and they were SO good. My boyfriend had battered shrimp tacos and said they were delicious. He also ordered the margarita float and loved it! The vibe of the restaurant is really nice too. It's clean and there's no loud, obnoxious music playing. The staff are also very friendly. Will definitely be coming back :

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.
