Quesabirria tacos with consome
Kevin B.

It was a Groupon meal, so I should have expected the quality I got. Practically everything I ate had a taste and look of being old and reheated for my purchase. The beans in the dishes were so old they had a dry and crumbling texture to them similar to Play-Doh that wasn't stored properly. Extremely hard tortilla chips in the nachos. A chicken burrito that was just a bean and rice bomb, with only a few pieces of burnt and overcooked old chicken. This is one of the few times I threw out a large portion of my food. The most redeemable aspect of my combo meal was the horchata that I chose. But I dont know where it came from in terms of it being house made. The typical big jugs of horchata and other aguas frescas was not set up and there wasn't a aguas frescas fountain machine. This was some of the worst Mexican food I've ever had. I definitely won't return to this establishment and would never recommend it to others.

Happy Taco Tuesday. Yum

We came here, because we had a Groupon. Really good deal. 2 Birria Tacos, 1 burrito & nachos. The food was amazing. First time trying Birria tacos, actually. Yum. It was actually enough for both my husband & I. Great service by Armando. (I believe he's the owner.) He even let me use my Yelp dessert offer even though I also used the Groupon. I definitely recommend this place.

This is the spot that ended my use of Groupon. The food was just gross and we threw most of it away. We thought we'd just bought a coupon to use for money off our order but we were forced to get specific items, none of which we liked. the wings were so tiny and overcooked, they were revolting. The emplyee we dealt with was friendly and tried to be helpful but it's hard to be helpful when the food is this bad. I gave a second star for him but the food is just terrible and not worth it at even a quarter of the price

Birria taco plate
April D.

The entire plate came out piping hot which is the best way to eat something. It was such a great plate for around $15 and it was a lot, my niece couldn't finish it. As she was eating the beef there was a long string that we pulled out. It was very thick and judging by the texture it could not be a human hair. My partner went up to the counter and the cook confirmed that the meat was wrapped in a leaf to prepare it. He also some time during our meal came out to show us the left over leaves. We already believed him but it was excellent customer service and satisfaction for him to provide that proof. I appreciate attention to detail so much and I respect and admire a business that is honest with their patrons.

Toasted Quesa- Birria Burrito with Beef, amazing.

I've driven by this building with a few places to eat before but didn't really have a clue as to what it actually was......UNTIL TODAY! It was around 6:00PM when my fiancee and I pulled into this big white building with what looks to be a few different small restaurants inside of it. I was completely unaware that most of the places in here closed at 6PM, which left me with two options, one of which was Tacos El Jefe's! Let me just get this out of the way, I'm about to throw some praise out. This place doesn't have an insanely large menu, but it has some heavy hitters like special versions of tacos, tortas, burritos, and even Ramen birria soup. I needed to give the Toasted Quesa-Birria Burrito a try and I don't know if I can say enough good things about this thing. The burrito itself is large, heavy, and packed with beef, cheese, rice, and beans and was served with both a birria consome and a mild hot sauce to dip them in. Did I eat this thing when it was way too hot? yes. Do I regret it? no, although the roof of my mouth might tomorrow. This burrito was phenomenal and Tacos El Jefe's is my new go-to for any sort of burrito I am craving. On top of the burrito, when I checked in on Yelp an offer popped up for a free churro and they supplied two of them! This was the absolute best churro I have ever had in my entire life and it's not even close. The churro was crispy and hot on the hot side while managing to remain mushy and delicious on the inside, it's something that my dreams will be thinking about until the next time I come back. Overall, Tacos El Jefe's is something special that I truly think everyone in Las Vegas needs to come and try. The gentleman working the counter was super nice and the entire experience was top notch. I will absolutely be coming back to this place in the future!

Look for this sign

Found an incredible Groupon offer so had to try it. Got the family fiesta meal - opted for the carne asada tostada salad (3.5/5), dry shrimp burrito (4/5) and the bacon chicken alambre (3.5/5 according to the husband) with corn tortillas. Like Kim's Bento located on the opposite side of the building, a quantity v. quality place. Not bad, not great.. wait, the service was great. Easy ordering in person and the food was ready sooner than promised. Next to a car wash on Charleston just east of Rainbow - plenty of parking.

Chorizo breakfast burrito

Chorizo breakfast burrito and I added avocado. One of the best breakfast burritos I've ever had.

Quesabirria Cheese Tacos (3 per order)
Richard B.

I had the Quesabirria tacos and they were excellent . Filled with meat. No skimpy tacos here. The service was friendly. Tables are limited as it is a shared space with the other food vendors inside this marketplace. The menu is a little overwhelming and probably could be simplified - I just gave up and asked the young man taking orders what do they have with Quesabirria. He suggested the 3 Quesabirria taco option . To be honest. I feel like going back today for more . I would check hours and days before you go because I know the various food vendors here all have different hours and days that they are open .

The food looks good but taste terrible. I called up there to share my concerns about the food tasting spoiled and the owner said he never gets complaints about his food. Unfortunately, my family and I took one bite and realized we would never return here again. I even tried tearing up the burrito to see if the meat would taste better. I feel bad throwing away all this food but after one bite the taste of sourness won't go away. It's a shame and waste of money.

A little bit of everything!

This restaurant is located in a small food court adjacent to a car wash, supposedly serving a school campus. I saw nobody with books, so let's just call it the College of Southern Nevada-Car Wash Campus(CSN-CWP). With a Groupon, I got a massive amount of food for around $20 at Tacos El Jefe's. The combo plate was a perfect mixture of different items, including two tacos birria, a mound of nachos with protein of your choice, and a thick burrito, along with some birria consomé soup, lots of chips and homemade salsa. Of the three proteins I tried that day, beef birria was the star of the show. It's a high quality meat smoked and slow cooked for hours, steeped in spices, juicy and tender. With cheese, cilantro, and salsa on a grilled tortilla, it is outstanding. Shredded chicken is also worthy and their salsa is made from scratch with fresh ingredients, not from a can. If you're undecided and don't need to feed an army with the Groupon deal, my advice is to get the 3 tacos birria plate which comes with salsa and a cup of consomé soup. That is one filling meal at $12 and delicious too. I seldom get birria at restaurants because I assume it comes from some old goat that's on a tin can and paper cup diet. But Tacos El Jefe's uses a good cut of beef instead and prepares it slowly for a real tender and tasty result. This place succeeds on three important results of eating out...delicious meal, generous portions, and food preparation safety. Simply put, when food is stored and cooked properly, you the diner, do not feel sick afterwards. I felt great after eating here! So if you're at college learning to become a car-washer, just remember: you might not ever get rich, but eating lunch at Tacos El Jefe's is better than digging a ditch.

Todays special $9.99 taco plate ! 3 carne aside tacos, beans , rice and agua Fresca.

Michael was my bartender/server, and although he mentioned he was fairly new to the team, he was friendly, attentive, and did a great job taking care of me. I ordered my usual favorites: the Daddy Wings and Chicken Taquitos. I've tried some of the other menu items in the past, including the nachos, but sometimes I just want a few snacks and these two dishes are always a good choice. The wings were delicious as usual, and the taquitos hit the spot. Of course, the beer was ice cold too. One thing that stood out was the customer service. I had a question about points from another Nacho Daddy location, and the manager was kind enough to help me sort things out. I'd also like to thank Paul for helping me with the app and making sure everything was taken care of. Overall, this continues to be one of my favorite stops in Downtown Fremont. Good food, friendly people, cold drinks, and a relaxed atmosphere make it a great place to unwind on a cool Las Vegas afternoon.

The menu is creative, with plenty of unique options that go well beyond what you'd expect from typical nachos. The food was very good, and the service was attentive throughout our visit. One thing I especially appreciated was how accommodating they were with modifications and special requests--they were very flexible and happy to make adjustments to our order. The only reason I'm stopping at four stars is the price. While the portions were solid and the food was tasty, it's hard to get past spending around $30 for a plate of nachos. Maybe that's just the reality of dining out these days, but food prices are getting a little crazy. Overall, though, it's a fun place with good food and great service, and I'd definitely go back if lived in the area.

From the moment we walked in, the warm atmosphere and excellent service made the night special. Amanda went above and beyond with her customer service. She made sure our flowers and balloons were delivered and beautifully arranged on our table waiting for us, such a thoughtful touch that made the evening even more memorable. Our server was also fantastic, attentive and friendly throughout the night. The food was next-level. They must have a new chef because this is hands-down the best Mexican food we've had in Las Vegas. My carne asada chef's special tacos were incredibly juicy and packed with flavor (unlike the dry ones you often get elsewhere). The queso fundido and fresh guacamole were excellent, my wife's shrimp entrée was outstanding, and the flan was truly unique, my daughter said it was the best she's ever had. Every dish was a hit, and the cocktails were fantastic too. Everyone in our group raved about their meals. If you're looking for delicious Mexican food and wonderful service in downtown Las Vegas, look no further. La Mona Rosa is highly recommended!
