This is our go-to stop for Mexican fast food when we are out and about in the Tigard-Tualatin area. One gripe to the owners...you need to spring for the tipping system via credit card.

It's a cute spot, nice place for a quick dinner with friends or the family.

Open the door: oh, it's a little takeout dive... unless you decide to stay... those cheap booths are very clean, and comfortable. Subdued luxury. So is the rest of it. That tienda cooler has Jarritos: connected to tradition. Ice-cold water, chips and salsa to the rescue on a hot summer day without asking. I asked for a beer, and the telepathic waiter matched me to a fantastic, citrusy IPA not available in the other local pubs. I came in wanting a cheese enchilada, but the cheap special tempted me away. And so this satisfying torta pastoral played with my tastebuds instead. What's that quirky binding ingredient? It's sweet like plantain, but... pineapple?! Yes, that's it! See you again soon, Fuente!!

We had a bunch of people recommend EL Jefe Grill, which convinced us to visit, especially since we…read morewere staying nearby. When we walked in for a Sunday dinner, we were greeted with the smell of roasting chicken and charcoal, a promising sign from the very start. It was pretty busy inside, but after ordering at the counter, the food only took about 15 minutes to arrive. Whole Chicken Meal ($27.74) - The meal comes with two 12 oz sides, an 8oz salsa, and either corn or flour tortillas. For the sides we went with the classic Mexican Rice and the Refried Beans. Both are pretty standard stuff from a Mexican restaurant. The rice is tender with still distinct grains, has an reddish color from tomatoes, and adds a scant amount of veggies mixed through. The beans are mostly smooth throughout, fatty and creamy. We went with the corn tortillas, of which they provide a whole stack of twelve, warmed until steaming, making them hot, soft, and pliable, perfect to eat with the chicken and sides. The chicken is legitimately amazing. Basically the entire restaurant smells like chicken fat being charred over mesquite. It's a mesmerizing smell that made me salivate upon walking in. The chicken is whole roasted with the dark meat and wings being cooked until succulent and juicy. The interior of the breasts are a bit dry, but there's not much that can be done with this cooking method! Otherwise, the char is excellent, creating an almost crust-like nature to the skin and the spice mix imbues a yellow glow to the entire tray. They give so much food that we only finished perhaps a quarter of it. We ended up bringing the rest home on our drive up the next day and ate it for another couple of meals. (5/5) I especially love their salsa bar off to the side of the main counter. There's so much variety, there's surely something to please anyone. They have a mild tomato, a mild but smoky, a spicy and fruity, a green tangy tomatillo, a creamy avocado, a crunchy fresh pico de gallo, a smoky and spicy, and a tangy and spicy salsa - basically all combinations someone could ask for. Even the spiciest additions are still very tolerable to my tastes. We were impressed enough to visit again the next day for lunch: Supreme Burrito al Pastor ($14.37) - This is hefty burrito, almost Mission-sized, being around 4 inch in diameter with the weight to match. It's first filled with plenty of Mexican rice, same as with the meal. For some reason, this time, the rice is hard and tough, like they had reached down to scrape the bottom of the rice cooker. It would likely be the most coveted portion of rice in a tagine or clay pot, but in a burrito, the toughness doesn't work well. On top of the rice are the refried beans, spooned over intermittently. It adds creaminess and fat to the otherwise dry exterior layers. Then the layer of meat begins - cubed pork, marinated in a savory and sweet sauce, then mixed up with chopped pineapples. It's more adobada than al pastor, and is on the sweeter end of things with the pineapple. The spice mixture isn't the most notable; they definitely focus on the chicken at El Jefe vs. the pork. Veggies, including lettuce and a pico de gallo mix cover the meat, followed by thinly shredded cheese and sour cream, which is thick and rich, perhaps more resembling crema than cream, and some guacamole, tangy and fatty. It's not the most even application - for example, the guac only covers one end of the burrito while the sour cream covers the other end. (4/5) I have to say, the chicken served at EL Jefe Grill is perfection. I would revisit just for that. Bathrooms - Two unisex rooms Note: El Jefe charges a 2.9% credit card fee. This is displayed at the register, but they have their POS set up incorrectly. Firstly, they lump the cost into the menu item instead of separating it out into a fee. Secondly, they actually charge a random fee rather than 2.9%. For example, the whole chicken meal is 3.1% and the supreme burrito is 2.7%. Very bizarre. I reported it to their management so hopefully it gets fixed soon.

I just hopped in the drive thru on this adventure and ordered some tacos…read more The service was quick but not so fast that you think the food was just sitting around (we've all had that dried out burger). I was originally going to go to taco bell (what a mistake that would have been). I saw this as I was driving by and thought I should give it a try. The beef tacos came out wonderfully like little steak bites in corn shells. Just the right amount of spice and veggies. I will definitely stop back when I'm in the Tigard area as this was just to tasty to pass up again. They do have indoor dining too I just didn't stop inside. So, I cannot comment on the ambiance of the dining room. Don't pass this one up.

Their breakfast burritos are tasty, simple, and while sometimes inconsistent, are still a nice warm meal first thing on a Saturday. However, in the last few months, every time I enter, there's a Sonos speaker that is playing music ON BLAST. It's been in a few different locations; over the condiment bar, or behind the register near the kitchen, and at such a volume that I could barely hear the employee at the register, and I had to raise my voice to be heard by them. Additionally, the employee that normally works the register does the bare minimum you would expect for someone taking your order at a register. This is both a good thing and a bad thing. I get my order out in in a timely manner, but I get the sense that, while this is a family-run restaurant, they're not necessarily including their patrons as part of that family. I think their main challenge is their drive thru. They seem to have one person working the register, drive thru, and handling incoming phone orders the majority of the times I've come in. I'll never skip out on this place, but I avoid dining in anymore. You don't come for the vibes or service, really just a quick and tasty meal.

Reasonably priced and tasty, I overlook the typically hostile glare from the cook. (Side note: if a restaurant features an open kitchen, the back-house staff is required to behave like front-house staff, friendly, maybe a smile). But trying to pass off tripe as carnitas is about as insulting as it gets. Unfortunately, I did not look until I was 30 minutes away in McMinnville but nevertheless, even my Asian wife immediately knew it was tripe. And before anyone feels I got the wrong order, there was one other couple in there already eating. Carnitas, not tripe. My family and i will be spending our money elsewhere. We have found far more authentic alternatives with staff who at least pretend to appreciate our business. Good luck.

The restaurant is in a small strip mall, and you order at a counter. Service was great and the gentleman at the counter was friendly and welcoming. The food was amazing. We both had the taco, enchilada and flauta combination plate. All the flavors were on point. To call this authentic is almost a disservice. This place has genuine Mexican food and flavors!
