Went last night for drinks with friends. Ordered a Bahama Mama cocktail and, while it was delicious, I'm not sure there was any alcohol in it. Seemed just like fruit juice. I didn't say anything and just drank it anyways. I'd give Jefe's another try. My shrimp cocktail was also tasty. I asked the waitress for some more chips which I never received. Just ate the shrimp out of it with a fork and left the rest. read more

Jefe's Mexican Restaurant - Shrimp Cocktail - Tex-Mex Near Me - Wichita Falls, Texas

I had not been to Jefe's for about 20 years. Decided tonight to give it another try. BIG mistake. I ordered the chili relleno filled with steak. The steak smelled/tasted rancid. I tried two bites. I NEVER send food back in a restaurant but I did so tonight. Asked our server to replace it with Tri Color enchiladas. My dining companions, in the meantime had finished their meals. I had still not received a replacement meal. We opted to leave. They did not charge me for the chili relleno which was nice, but I left this restaurant without eating anything. Very disappointing. Probably won't return. No pics because frankly the plates were not memorable. read more

The food is pretty good here. Management is always friendly to customers. Music isn't super loud so we can still talk at our table.

We had the sampler and the tortilla soup. The soup bowl was the size of a human head.... And it was filled with hot steaming deliciousness. Husband said the sampler was really good. Chips and salsa were good. Everything was fresh. Service was excellent. And price point was appropriate! read more

Food was good and decent portion for leftovers. Large variety of margarita flavors too!

My wife and I stayed nearby and at the advice from the hotel we went to Jefe's, we knew when we drove in the full parking lot this place was good. We were seated immediately and was greeted quick. We had the steak and shrimp fajitas. Portions were very good for the price and it was delicious. Service was also great. Wonderful experience read more

Pretty solid place. Good eats, decent drinks and close to southwest side of town. The queso leaves a little to be desired for, but overall it's good food. read more

I tried placing a pick up order over the phone today and I guess the restaurants phone was down/not working. No big deal, I just drove myself up there to place my to-go order inside. This was around 11:45 am- 12pm. I walked in and was greeted by the host who was very kind. She asked if I had called in my order and I let her know the phone was down and I would have to place my order inside the restaurant. She directed me towards the bar to place my order, and had said that the older woman also sitting up there had said the same thing. I went to the bar to place my order and when the woman working behind the counter approached me and said "hi, what can I get for you?" I responded with "Hi, can a get a tri color en-" and was rudely interrupted. She put her hang up and did that awful taken aback look that people do when they're startled or someone is too much for them and said "woah, first of all what's your name". Clearly if I had already had a pick up order ready, I would have told her I had a pick up order and stated my name. Let's use our critical thinking skills for one second. I told her my name and said I needed to place a to-go order and that the phone wasn't working. The older woman beside me then stated that the same thing happened to her and added that maybe they just needed to call the phone provider to fix the issues, but she was rudely interrupted as well and the server said "don't worry we got it". It was extremely rude, there is absolutely NO place to treat customers who are keeping your business open like this. The food was good and came out fairly quick after I ordered it, but this place gets a 1 star for how I was treated and how I saw the woman beside me at the bar being treated. She tried to apologize and say that she thought I was one of the "Christmas orders", but I'm pretty sure everyone can state for themselves if they are. I don't want to go to a restaurant and get looked at like that or treated the way I did. So keep that in mind when you go here. read more

Way better than el Tapatio. I had the chicken fajitas. Yummy delicious. Nicely spiced. The refried beans were actually good and looked like beans. Mexican rice was also very flavorful. Hubby ordered tostada but wasn't happy with the ground beef and not shredded beef (but then again he didn't have his glasses on) All and all I was surprised. Being from southern CA. I'm spoiled with the freshness and consistency of Baja California's mexican food. I'm finding it's definitely different from Tex-Mex. read more

Jefes food is a clean nice friendly place The food is wonderful Makes me go at least once a week or more..Love it. read more

Food was very good. Our server Myra did a great job for us. Unfortunately the restaurant was down some staff, as many restaurants seem to be struggling during and post-COVID, so it took a long time to get our food. But I'd definitely go here again and give it another try for better service. Monterrey Chicken was super-flavorful, good and spicy, and the meat was tender. Salsa was tasty and chips fresh. Enchiladas and sides were right on. Beef fajitas was prepared perfectly and the meat tender. Give it a try yourself. read more

Went to this location because a neighbor recommended it. The vibe was great and the service was amazing. We had the chicken fajitas and tacos. Great tasting fresh food. I highly recommend if you are looking for great Mexican food!! read more

Jefe's Mexican Restaurant - Great food! - Tex-Mex Near Me - Wichita Falls, Texas

Good food I like the place one small issue it looks shady from afar but other wise perfect

Went to eat here for dinner! The service was amazing and the food was delicious! And let me just tell you about the don Julio blue coconut margarita! The best margarita in this town!!!! read more

Food was okay, margaritas were watered down and not very good. Main complaint was the service, we waited 40 minutes for our food on a Monday night. We watched many tables seated and served around us while we waited even though we were seated at least 20 min before they arrived. The server was not very good and we had to ask for our check 3 times before she would bring it. First and last time at this establishment read more

It was OK. The food was a little more expensive than I would have liked. The food wasn't great. I had a supreme burrito. The burrito was huge, but not very flavorful. I think they use canned jalapeños in their meal, they just really overpowered the other flavors in the burrito. I love jalapeños, but not like this, it was really disappointing. They were a little understaffed, the restaurant was probably a third full when I got there and there was only one waitress and she was having to be the hostess as well. It took probably five or six minutes to get seen to. A second waitress showed up about halfway through my meal and things seemed to run much smoother for everyone else then. I don't have any specific complaints about my waitress, she was very nice, but also very busy, so it took a little bit for water refills, etc. After putting my order in, it only took 15 minutes for it to be brought out. Can't argue with that. This wasn't a terrible experience, but I do think I can eat better and cheaper food elsewhere. I probably won't be back. read more

Awesome food and great service! Jefes is our go-to for awesome Mexican food! Will be back, again and again!!!

Nice little place, almost a little home in the wall. Highly recommend. Service is great, food is wonderful, I would say give them a shot.

My friend and I came to Jefe's on a Saturday for a late lunch. They have a menu with lots of options, good prices, and decent Mexican food. I had a margarita, which was average, and the enchilada plate, which was also average. My friend felt the same way about her enchilada plate. The service was good. They weren't very busy and our server came to take our order quickly, and we got our food very quickly. I struggle with Mexican or Tex-Mex in Wichita Falls, so was happy to try a new place after someone else recommended it to me.I would definitely say it's better than some of the other places in town. However, it's also not "wow, I have to come back here" good - it's somewhere in the middle. read more

Always amazing food and strong drinks. I've had quite a few items on the menu and none has disappointed yet. These guys are pretty fair priced as well. read more

I enjoy the food, atmosphere, and quality service. I do wish they stayed open a bit later. read more

Tried a new entry today. Recommend by our tattoo artist, Danny. It was okay, liked the atmosphere, not very busy for a lunch on a Saturday. I am still getting used to the different flavors or different cultures. People hear "Mexican Restaurant" and automatically assume it is all the same. As a Midwest Nebraska transplant to Texas, I know what we had where I grew up, and very little of that could fall under the category or authentic. Working as a Chef and learning flavor profiles has helped me broaden my expectations. There was something in the refried beans that had a smokey flavor, I don't think it was Chipotle as there wasn't much kick to them. The taco meat was flavorful, but the meat to masa ratio in the Tamales was way to masa. I can make better at home. The sauce over the Tamales was actually very tasty, dark like a mole` but not chocolate. In all there wasn't much that would draw me back in for another visit. read more

Festive cafe in an out of the way location. Friendly staff, VERY flavorful dishes with a variety of offerings. And low cost margaritas with enough tequila in them to taste. This is my go to for Tex-Mex in Wichita Falls. If only they delivered... read more

Theis spot it great! They accommodated our large party after a graduation and everyone was pleased with the food and drinks. If I ever go back this is my spot! read more

So we came back to order food for to go and while waiting we ordered margarita and then asked if we can get some of the chips and queso we ordered ahead of time. The lady said no because our order was for to go!!!! My husband said why can't we get it ahead of time? We ordered food, we are already paying for the chips and queso so why can't we have it while waiting for our food? The lady eventually gave in! It sucks how you can be so stingy in serving the chips ahead of time when they serve unlimited chips anyway? That doesn't make sense to me! Plus my husband said we paid for everything and the queso so why can't we have some while drinking the margarita that we ordered!! We would have not waited long and ordered margarita if they could have answered the phone! Oh well ! Lastly I ordered a Mexican stir fry with just no onions and bell pepper and I ended up just having rice and chicken, no succini and squash!!! read more

Jefe's Mexican Restaurant - I ordered Mexican stir fry with no onions and bell pepper but ended up having just rice and chicken no succini and squash - Tex-Mex Near Me - Wichita Falls, Texas

Not a fan. Margaritas had OJ in them. Chips and dips were ok. Tamales where made off properly and not good. Atmosphere was colorful but not in a fun way. I was not having a good time here, I didn't even take photos because it was less than ok. read more

Food was great! Best Mango Margarita I've ever had!!! Service was quick and efficient- staff seemed happy! read more

Glad I came here. In town for a few weeks and I was looking for a good Mexican spot. Coming from South Dakota where there is none anything will do. However, I'm glad I chose this as my first stop for food. I got a prickly pear margarita, and a chicken fajita. the chicken itself was large and I still had an entire meal left over. I don't know what it is about that rice, but I'll rave about it. Great service and music! read more

Great food! Quick service and a nice place to grab some Mexican food. Smaller area but enough for our family to eat comfortably.

Once again Jefe's did not disappoint. I have no complaint about any of it. Service was great, drinks and good delicious. That mango margarita hit the spot on this almost 100° day! Queso, guacamole, Jefe fajitas and Jefe sampler plates superb. We live several hours away but every time we are in the Wichita Falls area we make it a point to stop in. Highly recommend and definitely will be back. read more

The food is good but they admitted to giving me the wrong drink and were reluctant to remake it. The queso tastes like it comes from a jar. The waitress didn't know much about the menu. I don't expect five star service from a hole in the wall but will not be in a hurry to come back. read more

I love this place amazing margaritas and food. So good, rather be here than el Chico or on the border, the food is authentic and delicious. Ask for Kami she is a excellent waitress and provides amazing service. read more

Never have we received such poor service in my life. We couldn't get drinks refilled, the waitress would not return to the table (until it was time for the check), and when we needed something, we got major attitude. We even overheard our waitress complaining about us. And we didn't ask for anything but more tortillas for fajitas! Seriously, terrible service. Which makes the food cold because you wait and wait and it gets cold by waiting for what you need (like a plate that was never delivered). Just NO. read more

First time here and not impressed. We were seated in what looked to possibly have been a patio area at one time. We arrived around 6pm which found us soon to be sitting in the dark only illumination was a Coors Light sign. It was so odd eating in the dark! We ordered queso to start our meal and the look on my husband's face when he ate a chip he had just dipped in it was something I should have taken as a warning not to eat it. But, I tried it anyway and it was the strangest tasting queso I'd ever had and I've had lots of queso in my 59 years! First chip was my last. Not sure what they used for cheese but it was not a good idea. I had the fish tacos and they were ok enough. But, the rice and beans were truly disgusting. The rice reminded me of the rice Taco Bell serves and the beans had a strange flavor. Needless to say, I left a full plate of food on the table. To end round out our dark dining experience we had to wait forever to pay. We thought maybe we were supposed to pay at the front after waiting an extended amount of time for our server to return for our money. Hubby went to the front to ask about how we pay and they had to call our server to take our payment. I really wanted to like this place but sadly it was a one and done for us. read more

Prices is a little to high. Food is ok. They charge you for the chips and sauce. Didnt appreciate that. My wife and I went there just for a normal dinner and it cost us over $75 counting the tip. Thats just for 2 people. Unreasonable. read more

We had high expectations from the reviews but this was not the food we had hoped for. The chips were stale and from a bag and the food tasted like frozen heat up food. The waitress was very nice but for heat up food it took way too long to come out. We ate a few bites and paid our check but left hungry and will never return. If I were you I would skip this place and opt for a drive through. read more

Great food and decent service! The place was clean and the ambiance was good. When in Witchita Falls this place is a must. Well done!

Awesome place, great food, great prices, even for drinks. A bit of a hole in the wall, you'll miss it if you arent looking for it. Need your quality Mexican food to go? They have a drive through too :) Great if you are a college student on a budget, was recommended to me by locals. Very happy with experiences here! read more

Great place for a margarita. I like the frozen ones but my son like it on the rocks. Their chicken dishes are delicious. I often get the fajitas to share. Dinner for one is enough for two read more

The place is a dump! I have never eaten or tried to eat such bad Mexican food in my life. To qualify myself, I lived in Rio grande valley of Texas. The average Mexican food there was five star in comparison. We tried to eat and the food was flat and greasy tasteing. The atmosphere was pure mixed metaphor, five tb sets going at once no two on same program, with recorded Christmas music overriding tv sets. The help was inept but pleasant. My wife and I have eaten Mexican food from Merida, Mexico City, Monterrey, the Rio grande valley, San Antonio to Arlington, Virginia. This place should not be called Mexican as it was simply bad. One star is an overrating. read more
