Ordered piggy fries off DoorDash. Their menu says crispy fries topped with pork, al pastor, bacon complimented with pineapple salsa and fresh avocado. I got fries with hotdogs I think thousand island sauce and cheese. I called to ask about it and was first hung up on I called back and they said no it comes with fries and hot dogs. Who's paying $15 for fries and hot dogs

Not much to say but bomb tacos and salsa/sides bar! Usually go here after tuesday run club with our friends and el jefe never disappoints. They even have mortal kombat and marvel arcades games for free! I usually get the jefe tacos

More bones in the chicken tacos. How can anyone think this is okay?

Damn. I only have myself to blame. I really wanted to give them a chance ... but at this point I'm the dummy for going back. This time though, I'm done. I'll eat a road pizza rat-and-boiled-coyote taco that's been run over by a CR&R garbage truck before I'll step foot in this shitty establishment again. I ate at Tacos el Jefe just last evening and had ANOTHER horrible experience. I asked for the "queso" tacos and they made soft tacos without cheese. I told the girl that I did not order soft tacos and expected hard shell, grilled tacos with cheese. She took them back and when she returned it was obvious they added a bit of cheese and DEEP FRIED the same soft tacos. I realized they were not going to make the correct tacos and I'd already paid, so I ate them. But they were greasy and tasted like it. And to top it off, there were two HUGE BONES in the chicken taco. See attached picture. The bones were disgusting! I will NEVER return to this place and heartily suggest that others go elsewhere. Attached is a picture of the chicken taco latest bones, all free of charge. Disgusting!

The worst place to come eat Have seen cooks come out to have a beer while working All too top it off while simply not being able to get your order right ! Asked for no guac and of course got guac ! Prices are too high now a days to not get your food right . Owner tried to hide being female workers even acting like he had left already. Go to tacos angels down the street they won't mess your food up!

Standard prices I guess. Bought 2 burritos and an assortment of SM and L tacos. Total incl tips was around $58. Tacos came out hot and toasty. The al pastor and carne asada tasted great! The burritos were on the smaller size but were still tasty.

Just wanted to state taco Tuesday price is at $1.79 now Still good tacos Still good service Easy to order and park and go Horchata is tasty but has the chalky taste at the end

The quality of the meat is my biggest complaint. Chewy and lots of fatty pieces in my tacos. The tortillas were smothered in Greece. Not to mention that my stomach has been turning and burning since I ate at noon for lunch. Two tacos El Jefe... I phoned my order in arrived 20min later and it was still not ready. After waiting for another 5min I got my food and left. No napkins no salsa in the bag. The cashier was not very friendly in person or on the phone. Only my second visit here but I tried the pastor tacos last time and they were mediocre. Won't be coming for a third time thanks.

I was recommended this place by a friend who lives near by and claimed the carne asada fries were good. Carne asada fries being my favorite I had to try it out, and their michis. I can say i was not disappointed with my friend and their carne asada fries. They were definitely good. Before leaving I was approached by the waitress who was curious to see how I liked it and I gave her a positive review and feedback. They cared to ask how was the food which means they are always open to hear suggestions. If I'm ever in the area again I would definitely come back and get tit again, and trying others. I was recommended other options as well but I was pretty set with my carne asada fries.

Ray H.

Solid tacos here! I wanted to try every one so i got two pastor, two asada and a boss taco. Service was good! The asada/shrimp boss taco spicy was the best ones. I could eat them all day long. The asada tacos was good. The pastor taco was ok, i don't like it chopped up. I like the long pieces coming off the trompo. They have plenty of parking and i really like the area. Next time i will come back and just load up 3 boss tacos because those are amazing.. Food Rating: Boss Taco: asada/shrimp 9.0/10 soo good! I would just come back for these. Asada Taco 8.5/10 El Pastor Taco 7.0/10

I was looking for another spot for my occasional 'Taco Tuesday' craving and decided to give El Jeve a try. The tacos were $1.59 on Tues but only a few types of tacos had the deal. I ended up getting the carne asada and Al pastor tacos. Both meats had good flavors on their own but I do tend to add a lot of toppings if I could. They do pack a decent amount of meat in each taco. The salsa bar is excellent as there are several kinds of salsa to choose from along with chopped onions n cilantro, lemon wedges, pickled carrots, pickled onions, sliced cucumbers, sliced radishes, etc. There were many people on the couple Tuesdays I went so there will be a wait. I do want to try a few other items on the menu that people talk about so I'll be back.

Beware: serving rotting food. We went for taco Tuesday and also ordered sides of rice and beans. There were three of us. First thing we did was open the rice and the three of us took a spoonful to eat. Immediately, we all recognized that the rice was spoiled, totally slimy from bacteria growth. I took it to the counter to get it exchanged for a side of beans. They would not exchange it because we ate 3 bites. Are you kidding me?!! The food is rotting and all I want is to exchange it for non-rotting food!! So I had to pay for inedible rotting food! Beware of this place. Apparently, they would rather lose customers than make things right. read more

I was craving tacos on a Taco Tuesday and came across this little spot. From the entrance, the staff were very friendly and welcoming. They knew the menu and prices of items, which helped since the menu did not have prices listed. I ordered a few carne asada tacos. The meat was well cooked, the tortilla was just right for a taco, and the taco sustained itself without breaking from the plate to your mouth. There's a salsa bar. Green and red salsa. Not too spicy but has enough kick to give your taco "savor". The cilantro and onion was lacking as there was more onion than cilantro in the tray. The radish appeared nearly sick. The keeping of the salsa/toppings bar can be better. Provecho! read more

Was told it was gonna take 20 mins ahead of time as it was a busy rush which I understand because the front was understaffed. Ended up waiting 50 mins and they forgot one of my items at the end so ended up waiting another 5-10 mins for the last item. I'm sure the food is great but my experience ruined everything.

Wow I really feel like I was cheated given the other reviews for Tacos El Jefe but I'm giving it one star with no hesitation. The girls behind the counter acted as if it was a pain that I entered the place and interrupted their conversation. The tacos had no cilantro or onion. I wasn't told this was going to be the case. I wasn't shown a salsa bar and told about topping options. Excluding all the aforementioned, the tacos had absolutely no flavor. None. I was beside myself. How do carnitas not have flavor. I can taste the grease but that's it. The asada... NADA! What!! I can't believe it. Full on waste of time. Sorry to be harsh , but it's the truth. No flavor. Amazing!!! If I can give stars for lack of fulfillment it'd be 5. read more

Been wanting to try El Jefe for a while. Finally had the opportunity a couple days ago and was very pleased with the food we ordered and the service. I ordered mixed fajitas (would have easily fed 3 people with meats and veggies). Very tasty and delicious with or without the tortillas. I opted to have both corn and flour to have a variety. My husband got a beef tongue taco, fish, chicken and steak. He said they were all great! The condiment bar was nice and the salsa/sauces were all yummy. Yes we tried them all! My only negative comment is in regards to the Womens restroom. It didn't seem very clean. Also the walls and door were in need of attention. My recommendation would be to have someone paint a cool mural on the door or bright Mexican inspired piece of art. It would hide some of the not attractive areas and also be a nice surprise for anyone visiting the facilities. The branding, decor and art associated with the restaurant are cool. I felt like I wasn't in the same place when I went into the restroom. We look forward to trying other menu items. read more

* Upon entering the place looks nice, you order and sit yourself (from what an employee told me), although you wouldn't know upon entering unless you ask someone. * Ordered and unfortunately order was input incorrectly and they started by blaming customer, instead of working with customer to make it right. Mind you, we never refuted to pay any additional difference. Thought it was a little unprofessional. -----Overall food experience was ok----- * Asada has some flavor a bit on dry side. * Birria tacos are served with no dip/juice, unless you order the plate (or maybe ask, for those that would like to dip their tacos) * For the chips and salsa, chips are pretty good and salsa is like a mole, type of chile de guajilla (unlike El Torito salsa, this wasn't tasty to me). * Restaurant salsa bar looks clean, just like the restaurant itself. * Price is moderate, but you can judge for yourself on the receipt. Hope this helps anyone. read more

This place opened up near my work. I ordered the 3 birria tacos plate that came with beans, rice and consomme. You dip your tacos in the consomme and it is so good. They give you a huge cup of consomme that is a broth that they cook the birria in. The birria tacos are huge stuffed with birria meat and cheese. Self serve salsa, onions, cilantro and lemon that are fresh. I put all these ingredients in the consomme broth and was good by itself. Restaurant is small but is very clean. Friendly staff.

Naturally I expected one of those tiny "sample-sized" cups because nothing in life is truly free... WRONG. They handed me a giant agua fresca like they were trying to hydrate my entire bloodline. Love that for me. Now let's discuss the torta cubana because she deserves her own paragraph. This thing was MASSIVE. Absolutely humongous. When they brought it out I genuinely paused for a second because why was it built like a carry-on suitcase? This wasn't a sandwich, this was a commitment. A lifestyle. A full upper body workout. And let me tell you... the food was IMMACULATE. Every bite slapped. The bread was soft, everything inside was flavorful, messy in the best way possible, and perfectly over-the-top. Half of it honestly would've filled me up, but did I stop? Absolutely not. I powered through because I refused to let this masterpiece sit in my fridge overnight getting all sad and soggy. No regrets. Portions are HUGE, prices are worth it, service was amazing, and the whole place just had a super welcoming vibe. This is the kind of spot you randomly try once and then suddenly start craving at 11 PM three days later. I'll definitely be coming back... probably wearing stretchy pants next time.

This spot is located in a small strip mall shortly off the freeway on La Palma Ave in Anaheim. The food was really good, I was impressed with the meat portions in our burritos & quesadilla. There was a ton of meat. Both the red & green salsas were hot but still edible too. The rice & beans were quality as well.

I asked for their Birria tacos, the lady said this location doesn't have the Birria menu. Which is weird because other Yelpers posting a pic of their menu and it's their Birria menu. But alright. I proceeded to order and asked for their street tacos. She didn't tell me this is a cash only location also. So I went to go pick up/pay and when I go in to pay the man says, "cash only." I offered debit card, tap, Zelle. Nope. Cash only. Sucks they don't tell you over the phone. It's not advertised online either. I don't know what it is about this location. But imma keep my business at the Whittier location where they're friendly, offer their Birria menu, and other ways to pay.

Albertaco's Mexican Food

4 star rating is for their 3-Roll Taco…read more This place has always been reliable for their carne asada, California Burrito, chicken chimichangas, and 3-rolled tacos. I've been coming here since it was originally named Alberto's...The outside seating has not changed. It's still the same round table bench with the red umbrella. Service is the same, they're pretty quick at getting your food prepped. Now I said that their carne asada has always been reliable, but my last two times I've ordered a carne asada burrito (sour cream and cheese only) or a CA burrito, IYKYK, their meat has tasted different. It taste like it's some carne asada and then like some other mystery meat, sometimes liver... Either way I stop eating it when I have tasted it being weird. Maybe it's the other meats they serve that get mixed in. I don't dig that. So for that I would rate them down to a 3 star. I'm rating their 3 rolled tacos as 4 stars! It's the best around. It has the crunch and enough meat inside. It's not all tortilla like some places. We always order it with sour cream and cheese only, with carrots on the side. I've tried adeltacos down the street and it doesn't compare. Get it here.

We moved away, but grew up with Albertaco's and we LOVE IT. Carne asada fries, chicken quesadilla, cali burrito, their red salsa, chef's kiss. Last year May 2025, we drove and did takeout for our brothers birthday. We ordered 2 carne asada fries, and they only gave us 1 (our order was big). Yesterday, May 17,2026, I drove out here again for my brother's birthday request to do takeout for our entire family. Ordered 2 orders of their rolled tacos, finally got home to see that we only received 1 order of the rolled tacos, not 2 (we also ordered more things). Yes, you'd obviously like for everything that you paid for to be handed to you, but a lesson learned to check your bags!!! If something is missing, kindly let them know and receive everything you paid for. Not the end of the world, we love this place as this is one of our childhood comfort foods/go-to places.. we moved away and miss this place all the time, and to make our birthdays feel like home/childhood, we drive out here to show our loved one some extra love with Albertaco's BOMB food, but yeah, it's a bummer when you're missing things that you paid for & is shown on the receipt (will post receipt photo shortly).

Once he found out it was our first time there and that they were close to closing, he went above and beyond and accommodated us with not one, but TWO chicken sandwiches on the house for us to try.

The menu has been simplified and the number of dishes has dropped dramatically. The prices have gone up, but that's the norm nowadays. Quantity is about average. I wouldn't say they're big portions or small portions, just enough. I ordered several dishes. I ordered the Ong choi, the chicken Pad See, but ended up getting a beef Pad See instead. A garlic pork dish which was tough and dry and a panang beef curry. The Ong Choi was tasty with what looked like peanuts or maybe beans as toppings. The Pad Su was a touch on the sweet side, but the curry on the panang beef is something I would put on top of white rice to add extra oomph. The service was quick and besides a little mistake in the ordering (no biggie) everything was fine. I do like the new decorations, but there is a weird smell as you enter the restaurant like a leaking gas line. Sit near the rear and you won't smell it at all.

It was so good, I've recommended it multiple times over the years. Last night's experience was not what I so fondly remembered. We had the Ong Choy, the Beef Panang, Beef Pad Seew and the Pepper Garlic Pork. The meat in the Pad Seew was oddly cold compared to the sauce, same for the pork dish. And the meat was tough, leaving the impression it had been re-heated and tossed with new sauce. The Beef Panang was tasty but with very little meat to spare, particularly for a dish that costs $20. The only saving grace was the Ong Choy, overcooked but very tasty. Sadly, we don't think we'll be returning. I'm giving it 3 stars because I remember the quality and I am hoping it's was a one-off experience.

Everyone was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from start to finish. One thing that really stood out was the combo pricing. The price difference between the 2-person combo and the 4-person combo is surprisingly small, so it honestly makes more sense to order the 4-person combo. You get so much more food for just a little extra, making it an excellent value. The meat quality was great, but I also loved the side dishes. The myeong-i leaves and fresh wrap vegetables were the main reason I wanted to visit, and they didn't disappoint. Even if you're not a big meat eater, there are plenty of side dishes to enjoy. Bonus tip: Leave a Yelp review and you'll get a free full-size chive pancake! (The one in our photo was the complimentary mini version served as a side dish.) We'll definitely be coming back. Great food, excellent service, and a very family-friendly Korean BBQ spot!

We ordered the Papaya Salad, Garlic Chicken Rolls and their Beef Jerky Special. We had a lovely conversation with the owner and she gave us special instructions on how to eat everything, such as eating the jerky with a small ball of sticky rice and sauce, followed by a mouthful of papaya salad as a palate cleanser--We followed those instructions to a T and it was truly enjoyable! For impressions of each Entree: The Papaya Salad is incredible, we ordered it with a mild spice level sauce. It's light, flavorful and refreshing and serves as a perfect palate cleanser if you order it with another item, but having it on its own is perfectly fine as well. The Garlic Chicken Roll was fantastic, crispy roll and tender chicken on the inside. It came with a sweet dipping sauce that had a flavor we weren't expecting but a nice surprise. The Beef Jerky Special: I absolutely love the idea of the beef jerky with a crispy-charred outer shell. My critique would be to dial back the charred-ness a little bit so that it doesn't dominate the center flavor. It goes perfectly well with the sticky rice and the sauce it comes with is really nice. Really great establishment with great customer service, I look forward to visiting again!

I like it that you can chose which type of meat for this dish, lean, medium, or more fatty. All types for all tastes. We also tried their crab meat egg rolls (another house specialty!) and the crab meat/paste noodles soup with tofu and other protein varieties. Everything was fantastic. Service was excellent once you're seated. The young man was quick to bring everything we needed and so pleasant. He had to do everything at the front of the restaurant, and even ran the cash register. There were only a few workers servicing the many needs for the volume of to orders and dining-in customers. He even asked if we liked the foods when I paid. So good customer service. So polite and respectful. Needless to say, we took good care of him at checkout. They work very hard.

We had the pleasure of having El Jefe cater my mother-in-law's dinner, and I honestly cannot say enough good things. The food was absolutely incredible--every dish was flavorful, fresh, and perfectly prepared. Beyond the food, the service was just as impressive. The team was friendly, attentive, and made the entire experience seamless. What really stood out was how they went above and beyond--the owners themselves even helped carry everything out to my car, which was such a thoughtful touch. On top of all that, the pricing was very reasonable for the quality and service we received. If you're looking for amazing food and people who truly care about their customers, El Jefe is the way to go. Highly recommend! read more

Soso this place was good the first time we came soon after it opened. Ordered the platos de barria. Food was good, huge portions with plenty leftovers for next day. When we ordered take out last week, I picked up the order, thought about how light the box was and to my astonishment, there was BARELY enough for TWO tacos. The beans were so runny they ran all over the container. Rice was dried out. The price was almost $19.00 for one plate.
