I originally wanted. the lengua tacos but they ran out. I got the carna assada tacos. The meat lacked seasoning and they drown the tacos with way to many toppings. On a positive note everything seems fresh . read more

I like their street tacos. prices are cheap and the food is pretty good. The place is fairly new. Way cheaper than some of the other Mexican food places. They add a little more to their tacos too which is an added bonus. This is a good place for lunch. I will come here weekly. read more

S L O W service. It took 3 people to get their coordination in place to take my order and make my food. There was a family ahead of me and that was it...it wasn't lunch hour it was early evening. The meat looked already prepared. It took a while to warm a tortilla and stuff it with already prepared meat. The meat had a lot of gristle which bummed me out. I am hoping this negative experience was because they had just opened up. The good thing about this place though is that there is a Popeye's next door. read more

Came in for hopefully a quick lunch takeout. Ordered two "handmade tacos" and a drink. A half-dozen of us waited as our six orders literally hung around for seemingly forever. Three kitchen staff ran around as if it was all their first day, all constantly getting in each other's way. They periodically came back to the hanging orders, studied one, went off and did something, but the orders weren't moving. Then a couple employees split. Eventually, after asking for my food, the cashier said he'd prepare it. My final straw was seeing him fish around a tray for the last few floating chunks of chicken. Every time he found one, he'd put it on my taco, along with a bunch of tray water. The tacos were soaked. No napkins in the bag. No forks. No "would you like your receipt?" Am I coming back? No thanks. read more

It's pretty good for a taco place, a tad bit empty due to the location though, worth it to stop by for a snack

This is probably the most priciest restaurant I have been to especially for serving tacos and Mexican authentic's tacos for $1.59 each I was expecting to get a decent size portion taco for that price I got five when I got my order I was in disbelief and shocked I couldn't believe the size of these puny tacos especially for that price. Very disappointed honestly. read more

Absolutely in love. the staff here are wonderful and the food hits the spot. the atmosphere is friendly and a great place to bring the whole family. read more

This was always my go to place, but I have to say I was so disappointed by today's visit. The little Mexican lady who made my grilled shrimp bowl. I caught her red handed picking up something from the ground and putting it in my bowl I had no choice but to tell the cashier what had happen and how I felt about that. He asked me if I wanted another bowl or did I want my money back. I really wanted the bowl so I told him specially if he can please be the one that makes it for me (asked him twice) he said yeah so I was like cool thanks. However she was the one who made it again and once again caught her picking up a shrimp that fell into the crack of where all the leftover food fell to and put it in my bowl. Might I add she does does wear gloves while making your food. Anyways the shrimp wasn't even cooked all the way I can see the blueness still while standing there watching her once again put the food with her bare hands in my bowl. I was so disgusted I had to tell him I just can't eat this. I've been here plenty of time since they opened and always loved the food but today just made me so disappointed that I had to see all that. read more

Horrible horrible service do not come here !!!!!!!!So sad to have experienced this today on Father's Day. We can here to celebrate we were a party of 7 and they had no customer at the time. So today you lost us as customers and were a big party . Horrible horrible service The lady who is always there older lady usually takes order always was horrible no customer service not patient and got upset that we were fixing our order according to her we where confusing her and she assumed we wanted regular made tortillas and didn't even offer hand made tortillas. Been here with my husband and son a couple times and she is usually always having a temperament but it was no stoping from coming so we came with a big party because food was good. But because of the service totally not worth coming here anymore we gave it a few tries but we are done. That cashier older lady is always there after all the bad service so that tells you a lot of the place maybe is family own or something that they don't care or just the fact that they do catering and that is here focus i don't know. Who ever owns this place take this reviews and consideration your food is good you can find better employees that can give customer Service. Thankfully when I was explaining to the lady why we're leaving and not ordering anymore another employee manage to stop and listen to us and conserns . And even then lady came to interrupt me and the other employee and still kept arguing and getting in between trying to say that it was our fault . Just go somewhere else. It wa so bad that the lady would not stop arguing trying to prove her self right that male employee step outside where she did not follow and actually listen more he offer to take our order instead but we were to upset allready and lady was still giving us faces and attitude . More patients lady please and remember customer is always right or at least be more considerate and patients and wait till order is complete there was no rush you had no customers at the time. Better to have great customer service and good food it I would have want fast food I would have gone to a fast food restaurant. read more

The food is amazing. The meat taste very good and authentic. My favorite is the Carne Asada Torta.

Food is good. They need to work on getting their orders correct. For some reason when you order a bean and cheese Barito you get vegetables in it which doesn't make sense to me. Maybe because it's new they need to work on getting organized. I plan on going back to try other things on the menu. read more

Oh man the street tacos are on point. The hand made tacos are little more but totally worth it. If they salted their fries I would get the asada fries weekly. read more

I found your menu and ordering to process to be difficult to the point of intimidation. People backed up behind me in line because I'd never been to El Chef before. For the price, I'd rather sit down and order from a menu. Unless the menu ordering process is changed, I won't be back. When I DID get it, the food was O.K. read more

I drove by it so I decided to give it a try. I ordered 2 "homemade" carne asada tacos togo. When I got home while I picked up the taco to eat the taco broke in half and the filling came out. It happened with both tacos. Also, I asked the girl if my order came with chips & she said, "yes" I didn't realize until I got home there was no chips. I'm very disappointed, I'm never returning back there. read more

I love this taco place!! We come here every week and my favorite thing to get is the pastor tacos. My son loves the carnitas quesadilla. Definitely recommend eating here. read more

I have been coming here on and off since April 2016, when they started, today is 1/27/2017, and I will never come here again, I'm sorry to myself for putting me through this, the only reason I got on yelp, was to leave this review, with out exaggerating, I can honestly say, the food; you have got to be starving, I mean desperately starving to eat at this place, nothing, and I mean nothing has flavor. The fries, unfortunately are the only thing you can eat, and they're plain, no seasoning, the meat is smelly, and like I said without exaggerating, the place has flies, just flying around you as you eat, the employees do NOT care about sanitation, no gloves while touching everyone's dish, and they wipe they're hands on a very old, dirty towel, in between preparing meals. I hope someone benefits from this review, most customers are construction workers, I've been one, and construction worker, we'll eat anything available, which is why I assume this place is still open, and the good reviews, Have to be friends or family member of the workers here. Thank you if you read. Also, go to an authentic Mexican restaurant if you want good Mexican food. read more

I had their tacos and they're good. Fresh and tasty. And it's great that they're walking distance from my house. They just opened for business so give them some time to work out the kinks. The staffs are friendly. read more

I live about 5 minutes away from here so I decided to give it a try because I like tacos and it's close by so why not right? I thought this place was just okay, I like the fact that they have a salsa bar for you to get the amount of onions, salsa, and sauce you want, but the tacos were just average. They are a little more pricey than the tacos I usually buy, but it wasn't worth it to me. I ordered five carne asada tacos and I thought both the tortilla and the meat itself could use a little more work. The customer service was also just average, nothing too special about it except the fact that the guy did bring my tacos to me as soon as he finished cooking them! read more

Thank you for the great catering you guys did last week! People can't stop talking about the lunch last Thursday - everyone loved it, and I can't tell you the number of people who came up to me and said "I was thinking of going over to their store to try them out, but just never found the time". Well, now they know how good you are. The two guys who did the set up, serving, etc, were just great. Thanks again! read more

Let me tell you about a small Mexican restaurant that is totally SUPER DUPER!!! It's El Chef Tacos in Westminster on Beach Blvd & Hazard Ave. What a pleasant surprise! It's not American-Mexican. It's Mexican-Mexican. It's "you-just-crossed-over-the-border-authenic- homecooked" Mexican-Mexican food. I am not lying---I ordered a tostada, and I kid you not, it was the best tostada I had ever eaten in my ENTIRE LIFE!! The food is truly wonderful, but it doesn't stop there. The atmosphere, the music and the employees just make you want to stay and hang out. All the people that work there have such big, giving hearts---the word that best describes what they all give out is LOVE. It's in all the foods that they prepare. Claudia who works there is simply superb---I always hope she's there when I go. Yeah, the food tastes great, but check out their warm smiles----they make you feel like you're part of the family! I took a friend there, and now she's as hooked as I am. This place is small but lovely, and to me has earned FIVE SOLID STARS! read more
