    Happy Taco Tuesday. Yum
    Jocelyn C.

    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.

    Breakfast Burrito
    Amy B.

    Ordered from "Toasty's Breakfast Burritos" on Uber Eats. Got the breakfast burrito and THE BACON WAS NOT COOKED, the sausage was burnt, the cheese smelled off and it was filled with so many hashbrowns. I took one bite before opening it up to see this picture attached. I feel sick, and the fact I had to search up the address to find a whole different spot is absurd. Do not order from here!

    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.

    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.

    Toasted Quesa- Birria Burrito with Beef, amazing.
    Steven M.

    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!

    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.

Try the Mexican corn appetizer with it's crumbly cotija cheese, chili, lime, and mayo on top of charred corn kernels. It's in 'esquites' form, which means it's not left on the cob like 'elote' is. Their specialty, nachos, are also well seasoned and the chips are freshly made on site. What drew me in to this restaurant was a past appearance on the Maury Povich Show, where I took a paternity test for someone who claimed she was my daughter. The end result? I was cleared, so Maury pointed at me while telling her that he's "Not yo' daddy." And so I visit Nacho Daddy on occasion, strictly for celebratory reasons. Birria nachos are excellent, made with a high quality shredded beef with pickled onion, cilantro, sour cream, cheese, and lime on top of a stack of chips. Having birria without consommé was new, but this one didn't really need it with all the flavors jumping out. Another recommendation is the cheeseburger nacho, an Americanized version with ground beef, bacon, cheddar, jack, queso, onions, tomato, and lettuce. The 'mini nachos' are perfectly sized for a light meal but if you're hungry, get the full size order which is huge and shareable. This location has been in business for 17 years now and there's plenty of seating in a nice, clean atmosphere.

    Title: The Best Birria I've Had... Period!…read more (5/5 stars) If you're a birria lover, stop what you're doing and head to Birria Bite. This place may be a small tavern-style spot with just enough seating, but don't let the size fool you. The moment you walk in, the aroma of the birria comes rolling out of the kitchen like a raging bull--it lets you know you're in the right place! They offer both goat and beef birria, and the flavor is absolutely incredible. I've only been eating birria for about five years, but in that time I've made it a mission to try it everywhere I travel. I've had birria from Las Vegas, California, Nebraska, Florida, and Texas, and I can honestly say Birria Bite is hands down the best I've had. I always order the Quesabirria Combo, and it never disappoints. The consommé is rich, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned--good enough to sip on by itself. And even though it's outside my normal diet, I can't leave without getting the Piña pineapple drink. It's sweet, refreshing, and absolutely fire. The hospitality is always A1, the staff makes you feel welcome every visit, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality and portions you receive. This is one of those hidden gems you'll keep coming back to. If you haven't been yet, you're missing out. Don't meet me there... beat me there... or be square!
