Landed after 6 hr flight. Wanted food and didn't want typical sit-down meal with my crew of 5. We ate like kings and queens at el Jefe in the quaint restaurant setting. We even got the green light from the sweet lady running the place to put two tables together and enjoy our proper meal. Loaded Fries and nachos fed the heathens quickly. Birra tacos and massive burritos followed. jarritos to quench our thirst and then back on the road to the promise land. 5 out of 5. Food authentic- service was amazing - stop In. read more

So I was expecting a lot more after the hype it has on Yelp; yes the place is clean, nice lady at the counter; I ordered the 3 taco special w/drink & My husband ordered the Carne Asada torta.. It wasn't anything spectacular, the torta was ok, my tacos were OK too.. I ordered a Pastor, birria & Carne asada taco.. The pastor was good! The birria lacked color & flavor & carne asada was just ok. read more

Great little family owned taco spot. Where they stand out is the quality of their meat. Not fatty or so over cooked you wonder how bad the meat was to have to burn it like some places. Quesa burria...perfect size. Great consume. If you don't know or haven't tried one start here. Delicious. The tortas are 2 meals in themselves. Bread is great. Great layers. Very generous on meat. I had the carna asada with grilled onions. Coming back for the Cubano which looks like a feast. read more

We dropped in for takeout lunch on a work day, my son and I, and both enjoyed our experience and meal. The restaurant is small and feels clean and fresh inside. We ordered the Quesabirria and asked for a recommendation for someone who doesn't eat beef, and ended up going with their suggestion, the Del Jefe Torta. Both were delicious! I love that the cheese on the torta was not overly cheesy, it was just right for me. The torta had zero spice until I slathered the hot sauce on it, and I appreciate that ability to customize it. The pineapple and avocado on the torta were perfect. We will be back to try tacos, breakfast, and more. They were so nice. I am glad this place is here! read more

This two items are the sole reason why I drive 35 minutes all the way from Scottsdale! It's so hard to find good authentic Mexican food in the valley, but this small "hole in the wall" establishment definitely makes my drive and wait so worth it! I consider myself a huge fan of quesabirrias and this ones def take the win, the pastor is the most HOMEMADE taste you could ever find out there; you can totally notice the Mexico City style with the pinapple and the salsas being well balanced and so rich in flavor!! Everything here is not too spicy (for the non Mexican costumers) but everything is so tasty at the same time. Give yourself a "flavor" get this order next time!!! Thank me later read more

Great food, convenient and great prices. Taco Tuesday is a must. The salsa is spicy and delicious.

The food here has been absolutely amazing I recommend getting the loaded fries with half carne asada and half Al pastor. The burrito bowl is also amazing the cilantro rice is an amazing touch. The tacos are a very big hit as well. The service is amazing the front desk cashier is very nice and helped give us recommendations as it was our first time here. It's a nice restaurant and definitely somewhere I would recommend checking out. read more

Totalmente recomendado,todo muy delicioso Muy buen servicio Tengo que volver muy pronto read more

Had the Del Jefe torta and a carne asada burrito. Both were delicious. The torta did not hold up that well as a to-go item because the bun fell apart. Ate half and put the other half in the fridge. About an hour later it was great! Cold food is awesome and the sandwich then held together. The burrito is quite big and had great flavor. Both salsas were tasty. Red a bit spicy and green just tasted great. Lady working there was nice. Restaurant looked clean and cook put on new gloves to make my food. I would come back for sure. read more

Tried this new spot in the area and it did not disappoint! We ordered a mix of burritos and tacos. The asada burrito was really solid--good portion, tender meat, and the salsa was so good. Not overly spicy, but had just the right kick. I was a little surprised it had white rice instead of Mexican rice, but it still worked and didn't take away from the flavor. We also got asada, chicken, and pastor tacos. All were good, but the pastor was the standout--juicy, flavorful, and absolutely . Bonus points for the staff being super friendly and welcoming. It's a new place in the area and definitely worth a try. We'll be back! read more

Excellent place to eat tortas if you're looking for the Mexico City style. I talked to the chef and he mentioned they only use high quality beef for the asada. I had the asada torta the first day I went and the meat was very tender. Eating there reminded me of my childhood when we would go to eat Tortas de asada. Service was fast and the team was very friendly. The restaurant is small but welcoming to everyone. I will definitely be back. I actually went back the next day with my dad and tried the Al pastor. We both enjoyed it very much. read more

Service was fast and excellent. The horchata is delicious I wish I had ordered more. All of the tacos were delicious. The salsa was good too. I would give five stars if the meat on the tacos had more of a charred or asada flavor from the grill. That is what I look for in carne asada tacos and I also prefer tripita tacos to be more crispy. Other than that I definitely recommend trying. It was yummy read more
