Decent tacos. The Al pastor was beef not pork. Kind of bland. The brisket is good but the taco is only okay. Two tacos and two beers was 40 bucks. Not opposed to spending that much for good food, but when it's middle of the road at best, that's expensive. read more

So good!!! They definitely need help! It's so busy and so delicious. The drinks are great and the staff is attentive and friendly. We really enjoyed it. We travelled with kids and had to leave some of our food behind because they got crabby- Overall. Delightful experience. Great view and yummy tacos. read more

El Jefe - Moscow Mule and best Churros we've ever had - Mexican Near Me - Angel Fire, New Mexico

See all

This is our go-to place for Mexican food in Angel Fire. You order at the counter and they bring your food to the table. I usually order the nachos with carne asada which is very good. Unless you love green chilis, have them on the side because they're a bit overwhelming. The restaurant is literally on the ski resort and prices reflect that location, but the staff is always friendly and you can't beat the outdoor patio overlooking the Ski area. read more

We visit this place every time we're in Angel Fire! The food is consistently good. Especially the green Chile fries on special and the brisket burrito. Make sure to try the chipotle sauce with it! Super nice staff and awesome patio. read more

El Jefe - Green chili fries - Mexican Near Me - Angel Fire, New Mexico

Best burrito I've ever had. Everything else was on point (queso, chips, salsa). Ordered to go - no issues... will be coming back!

We're staying in Angel Fire and heard great things about this place so we decided to try it. While looking for it we thought we were getting lost but when we turned the corner at the bottom of a ski lift it was right there and we were excited to try it. You will not be disappointed. Great food and the margaritas live up to their hype. Not much else to say but you have to try it. read more

Great bar! Nachos, tacos, taco salad, quesadillas are ALL good. Staff is friendly and the view is unbeatable

Quesadilla and peach margarita were amazing, the tacos were good and a good size but I thought 9 dollars a taco was a bit much. We had 2 drinks each 2 tacos and the quesadilla and my ticket was 80+ after the tip, the servers and folks were super nice, it's a "fast casual" style, where you order and pay and they bring the food to your table read more

We love El Jefe. The patio is perfect in the winter and summer. The food and service is really good too. I recommend the nachos and the margaritas! read more

Most excellent. I was shocked at how good the food was. Hubby and I split the Mexican meatball soup and the chicken quesadillas and both were fabulous. Tons of green Chile in the quesadillas. Jose margaritas hit the spot. Was apprehensive to try it because it looked touristy and expensive but it was a true gem. read more

I don't usually leave low reviews unless it's a pretty horrid experience, which is exactly the case here. When you walk in to the establishment, expect to be greeted with nothing but attitude and disregard. The second you walk in you'll get the feeling that no one working wants you to be there. Second off, no one in the kitchen was wearing a mask which just demonstrates their lack of care. Third, there were large insects running across the floor and walls as if we were in the Amazon rainforest. Fourth, their food is overpriced for the quality. Stay away from this restaurant at ALL COST unless you want to traumatize your entire family. read more

Good variety foods, excellent bar. Popular and often crowded. Excellent atmosphere friendly staff. Good outdoor seating and views. Parking might be limited but worth the visit! read more

I joined the old lady here for lunch yesterday after she got done with her morning session up on the slopes. The place was mostly unoccupied(11:30am) so I ordered and sat down quickly. I had the loaded green Chile fries which I thought were damn good. I totally forgot to have them add a meat to them, but maybe next time. The old lady had the chicken enchiladas which were really good as well. She enjoyed her margarita too. Convenient spot with good food and drinks. I'd give it a shot if you're in the area. read more

I love this place. It's my only hang when I come to NM in the summers. Rad patio right at the base of the lift. Killer music. Staff is fast, efficient & friendly as long as you loose the attitude & treat them with respect. Tacos & green chile cheese fries are top notch. read more

El Jefe - Sunset - Mexican Near Me - Angel Fire, New Mexico

Went one evening for a marg and saw a sign for $2 Taco Tuesday so we went back. Basic beef or chicken tacos at $2 all others 50% off. Lots of locals eating here. Taco we're chock full of chicken and were very good. Salsa is tasty with a bit of a kick even for a Texan. Don't pass this one up. read more

Great customer service, seating outside under heaters was very comfortable, food was New Mexico amazing! Loved the green chili cheese fries with a picture of margaritas. read more

Pretty sweet spot and good food and drinks for a mountain town. Right at the base of the chairlift and great area for kids to explore and play. Prices were fair considering the location and the margs were pretty tasty. Go ahead and get the pitcher since you're on vacation. read more

Food was great and came out fast. The tacos were a generous portion, and the chips and salsa were perfect for 2. I ordered the El Jefe and green chili carnitas. We were very pleased with our lunch! read more

Not worth the price. Food is slightly above average. $50.00 for a burrito and 3 tacos is a bit much. We did not even have drinks.

Had the carne asada taco yesterday and it was delish! Hubs had the El Pastor taco and it was great too.

HORRIBLE. 4 stars reviewers??? GTFU- have you not ever dined at a decent Mexican Restaurant? We paid $64 for 2 burrito's, 1 margarita & a sprite. This "restaurant" is a walk-to-the-cashier- type of establishment. I asked the buy at the counter what the best thing was and he was very "ugh...?". That should of been a sign. The Burrito's do not come w/rice and beans & are served on a plastic hot dog basket with wax paper that falls apart and lands in your mouth when you cut into your burrito. I read google reviews that praised the brisket so I ordered the brisket burrito, it was stuffed with fatty meat and old French fries. My husband got the carne asada burrito- he did not report any French fries but hated his burrito. The tortillas were supermarket thick, cold tortillas shells. My husband thought his margarita was 'Eh... it's ok".after spending $64 for such a horrible meal, you walk out feeling raped. It's our first if 7 nights in Angel Fire, I'm praying we find at least one or two decent meals. read more

Staff was really friendly and helpful. Walking distance from the lodge but ortherwise parking is a problem for sure. Food was above average but nothing to write home about. Except for the churros which are hands down the best we'd all ever had. read more

We come here several times a year when we are in town and it never disappoints. Great food, drinks, and atmosphere. And my wife likes it.

We really enjoyed both the food and the outdoor seating area! Great service as well! The staff took care of us on a busy afternoon.

I had the steak tacos and my wife had a veggie salad bowl thing. They were both really delicious. The prices for the food was ok but the margaritas were expensive for the amount you get, although they also were very good. You order at the counter and take a number and they'll bring it out. A small indoor area but a larger deck with tables and umbrellas. We'd definitely go here again. read more

This is a resort owned property and they force everyone else out of business. That would be ok if they offered value. A basic dry burrito in paper wrap delivered in a plastic basket for $17. ...... it wasn't that good. For that price they need to offer table service and provide a plate with rice and beans. Brisket was dry and tough. Margarita was good but again plastic cups. Oh how I wish they would do better read more

Great hand-made margaritas and extremely fast service! Saved us a few times during our week-long stay in Angel Fire when most places were closed due to holidays + Coronavirus restrictions. read more

I feel terrible leaving one star in this facility. If I could leave ZERO, I would. Let's start with the DISGUSTING attitude that you will be greeted with. Second. The sanitary level... the cook kept sneezing and coughing with no mask or hand sanitizer at the least. WOW read more

We enjoyed El jefe. We had a group of 11. You order at the bar and seat yourself. The weather was great, so we sat outside. The service wasn't crazy fast, but it didn't feel too slow. Burgers and burritos were good! My kids had the quesadillas and I think I would have rather them shared one of the large burritos. Overall, I would recommend! read more

Terrible hostess, she wouldn't let my family sit down at a table. We were just in our clothes from the road or we wouldn't have minded sitting outside. She kicked a man (having a cup of coffee) out of the restaurant to give to another table. The food is ridiculously expensive for little to nothing. Anyways save your time and money and go somewhere else! read more

Over priced burnt meat, gotta pay $6 for chips and salsa $8 for a bud light, ass service not to mention I had to buss my own table that way we could sit down, this place is shit you'd be better off letting a blind dog cook for you, idk why they had 4 stars I was straight catfished, also there's like 4 tweakers working here but fuck Atleast this place has more than 2 employees in it read more

The burrito is good...when you are able to obtain it, that is. The place is maybe half full and we've been waiting over 45 min for our food, the people in front of us canceled their order and left, in fear that their kids wouldn't be able to ski for the remainder of the day. In conclusion if you have absolutely nothing to do and you didn't pay for some overpriced ski tickets for a mountain with 100% man made snow, then go for it.. read more

This place is not organized at all. They make you wait in a line to order food and it took 40 minutes to get through that to get up to the window and they tell you 45 to an hour for food! Then they make you get back in line to order a drink. read more

Okay food, not great, but not bad. The brisket was cold and the fries were way over salted. The burritos were better, and we enjoyed margs on the patio, but the server delivered our food with his mask pulled down. Really? And then the big group of rowdy Texans who showed up and sat about 1 foot away from us really dampened our enthusiasm for this place. It's a bummer when people can't respect basic social distancing requirements or common sense. Stay in Texas please. read more

We visited during the pandemic and was tickled El Jefe was open for pickup. Our order was ready within 10 minutes. The burritos are huge with lots of flavor. My kids had the ground beef taco with french fries and a corndog. Both kids thought their food was really good. I tried the fries and they were really good with good crunch - not an easy task for a carry out. Would definitely recommend. Their patio space was very nice, too, with great views. read more

This a very causal place with great food!! Last night was our first time there and my husband and I loved it! My favorite taco was the shrimp taco and we loved the chili con queso and guacamole. My husband loved their brisket burrito!!!! You order up front and they bring it to your table. They have a lovely garden and every one was very friendly! read more

Came all the way from Dallas and was looking for a good Mexican restaurant while we were staying in Angel Fire Resort. We ordered the chips and salsa and with the queso, and WOW! The cheese is very declicious, very smooth and clean, and so good we had to take the cheese to go as well! We also ordered the steak fajita taco, el jefe taco, and I got the Caribbean bowl. All foods were amazing, including the chicken tortilla soup. For sure better than a lot of Mexican restaurant in Dallas. The only thing our family was a bit concerned was the price, because you get one taco for $7, but otherwise very delicious! All the waiters and cashier are friendly and chill as well! read more

Slow slow slow slow! 30 minutes after we ordered finally got chips and salsa. We've been here a hour and twenty minutes and no food yet. The people next to us ordered before we did and they have not got their food yet and really not that busy! Very poor systems in place! If you came to ski this is an awful choice. If you want to sit outside, enjoy the view and loss weight at the same time this is your place read more
