The food was a solid 4. The service was a very strong 5. Ambiance : perfect hole in the wall with authentic tacos and salsa. We gave this place a shot on a Tuesday and we were not disappointed. Wifey had asada tacos and I had a plate of al pastor. All the staples (sliced radish wedges, lime, onion and 4 salsa options). Overall, we are definitely returning to try their other menu options such as the burritos, tortas, and sopes. Also, they offer freshly made aguas. read more

Had a bacon breakfast burrito. So here is my review based on that. 04/17/2026 Picked up a bacon breakfast burrito. The taste of the burrito was good, but what ended up ruining my meal was the amount of eggshells in the burrito. Every other bite, I would crunch on eggs shells as it felt like I was chewing on sand/rocks. Due to this, I am very disappointed with this restaurant. Made a bad first impression on a loyal customer. read more

Food was good, they limit how much sauce you can get but can't really complain food is good just that the old lady has bad costumer service, didn't really let me finish my sentence when she was already asking what else read more

Ordered Buche tacos and the cook puts a bag of meat (Buche) in the microwave and reheats it WTH plus there was no flavor. This was my first and only time going to this place. read more

I honestly don't want to do this review but I definitely need to..... All their food is delicious !!!!!! I don't mean just kinda good. I mean everything they make it is awesome. I came across this place because I wanted something different , I'm tired of the Burgers fast food joints, so I found this place on yelp and I went to check it out and I'm glad I did. I picked up a Pastor burrito. And it was good so good I forgot to take pictures ,,,, hahaha , plus I was really hungry. Everyone that works in there was so nice. I literally felt like I was stepping into my aunts house. Just good nice beautiful people. The place itself it's just like a small cool little restaurant , there's tables and seats. There's a small waiting area for (to go section ) they also have a nice set up where you can pick some salsa or some limes or some radishes. Their selection of burritos and tacos and quesadillas , Carne Asada meals is excellent this is some delicious homemade style Mexican food. So if you want some good food without all the hype, go check this place out and it doesn't matter what you order it's definitely going to be good/delicious . (Side note ) And like I always say, try it out for yourself . And for some reason, you don't like it ,,,, you need to go see a doctor because you're having some kind of mental issues ...... LoL . One of my coworkers was working with me and he wanted something different so I sent him here, he got the chicken burrito and at first he said I usually doesn't eat a full burrito, and he was going to save the rest for later. .... "Yeah that did not happen". he scarfed that thing down !!!! Like a fat kid with a bag of M&Ms. it disappeared!!!! Hahahaha . It's good, not just good , but awesomely good. read more

I've occasionally stopped by this joint for lunch since it's relatively close to my work. They are located in a small plaza with a small parking lot. You wait in line to order and they do take card with a minimum charge. You also have to ask the cashier for plastic salsa cups and small plastic bag for limes. They have a small station for salsa, limes, etc. I ordered three chicken and one al pastor taco. The tacos came out really quickly and was very delicious. It's good bang for your buck. The inside of the restaurant is small and it's definitely a grab and go place, but there are a few tables available for dine in. read more

Getting a haircut nextdoor and then went for tacos. Turned out it was Taco Tuesday! I got 3 to bring home and now I'm wishing I'd ordered 6! Delicious read more

Stopped by on what happens to be taco Tuesday (score!)-- Tacos on Tuesdays = 1.19$ I was working at Casa Colina hospital nearby and saw that this was on the way to the freeway. Easy parking lot. Hole in the wall Mexican spot (dirty tables, and no napkins on any of the tables)-- but I did not come for the atmosphere. Because of the unassuming hole in the wall type of place it is, I expected the food to be really good. FOOD: And yes, the Al pastor taco was great! -- Do not get the carne asada burrito. It was so hard and chewy with large chunks of bad meat! I'm not sure if it was an off day as I'm not a regular but the true regulars seemed like it was only tacos -- you have to ask for plastic salsa cups (there's a salsa station but it was realllllly dirty and flies around); the green salsa was great but not special OVERALL: -- I would not stop by and go out of my way to come here unless you live nearby. read more

See all

Cool little hole in the wall taco spot. I have been coming here for years and the tacos always hit. read more

Taqueria El Jefe - Tacos de Pollo y Asada - Fast Food Near Me - Pomona, California

Absolutely my favorite taco place! The service is so friendly and fast. It's a quiet and nice small taqueria in the jiffy lube mall. Always must get the al pastor and carne asada! You will not be disappointed. Also, the sauces and the grilled jalapeno and onions go so well with the tacos, it's great! Also, don't forget the aqua refrescas, they are so refreshing and again, they go so so so very well with the tacos. read more

This is a little hole on the wall, but it's delicious, I got a Torta de carne asada 10/10 it's been a while since I had a bomb.com torta. I came right before closing time and it was still delicious. Service was very good also. They have all the drinks and salsas you need. read more

We where near the area decided to give this place a try and where disappointed with the food. We ordered some asada fries and chicken flautas. The food was not freshly made the food was reheated. I saw when the lady was putting it in the microwave. I can see maybe the beans and rice but the flautas and carne asada fries. If you want freshly made food don't waste your time who knows how many days old everything was from. read more

Tried this spot for their menudo. Not good at all. It's canned. We spent $40 on it and it was not worth it.

First time here & great overall experience! Got 3 "Burritos El Jefe" and they were HUGE! Great customer services, fast cook & wait time, and an amazing burrito! Can't wait to go back! read more

Taqueria El Jefe - Sope de Asada - Fast Food Near Me - Pomona, California

The tacos here were fine - pretty much what you would expect out of street tacos. The only thing was that I ordered a large horchata, but they forgot to give one to me with my tacos before I left and I had forgotten about it until I got home and by then, I was too hungry and tired to go back. The cashier had a hard time understanding me as I was ordering - I don't speak spanish so I did have to repeat myself a few times, but I didn't mind that. I'm still upset about that horchata though. read more

Food was good ! I had the bacon breakfast burrito. I would rate it a 7 out of 10 . It was big . The green chili is pretty good. It was freshly made and the ambiance is chill . I'll come again read more

I went there about 2 years ago. Decided to stop by again. Did not remember how the food/ place is. Yeah...Now I know why it has been ove2 years & I will not be going back. I am sorry mi gente. It is not ok for the cook to be on his phone, go make your food without washing his hands and hand you your prepared meal. NOT COOL Not today, tomorrow or ever. The place also needs some upgrading, and the customer service there could use jump of friendliness, professionalism and attentiveness. The food was a 5 out of 10... Sorry but I will not be coming back. More food for you that give great reviews. read more

Tacos and quesadillas are great. Staff is extremely friendly. I would highly recommend trying out the agua frescas, especially the cucumber lime flavor. read more

Great food. Quick service. Asada burrito was Bomba. My friends also loved it. So much so, we did round 2 for tacos!!

Food is good, but did not enjoy my experience with one of the staff members yelling at me that they do not accept orders from Yelp I still got my order after showing and confirming the information on the receipt/email but would rather order somewhere else if your staffs first thought is to yell at a customer about a misunderstanding or if the employee did not know they took pickup orders from yelp... read more

Went in quick and my order was all wrong I could not eat it because I'm allergic to raw onions specifically. And I did place my order with no onions. read more

Food is not that good... I tried a carne asada burrito. The salsas were really good ! Asada looked like it was reheated.

The food here is authentic and flavorful. We ordered the Menudo, tacos de asada, tacos de tripas and a few of lengua. The tacos were FIRE! The salsas are a must, if you like hot they have a chili paste that you can ask for (very spicy) The owners are super cool and humble... they treat you like family... Love this place!! read more

I've been going here for years and they have always been so good to me and my coworkers. We love the chorizo tacos !! I usually even grab myself a burrito to go so I can have it again for dinner. Try the el jefe burrito with 2 meats read more

Greasy food. bad vibes. Elderly lady working cashier was unprofessional cursing and nagging to the cook.

This place is a hidden gem. I tried them at my nieces birthday party, which they catered, and was blown away by how delicious and moist all the taco meats were. Don't get me started on their beans and rice... so delicious! That was back in September and have been going ever since for taco Tuesday's with my family. read more

Had some amazing Menudo. Normally I go to Azusa for it but today I tried this new spot for menudo. The owners are very friendly and very attentive. Tacos on Tuesday are only $1.30 out the door what a deal. Definitely will be back to try other foods. read more

Delicious. Great service and good attitudes. The carne Assad quesadilla is my favorite menu item there. Yum!

I have been here a few times for al pastor and chicken tacos which were very good and reasonably priced. I recently stopped in for a carne asada burrito and that was a big disappointment! Everything was good about the burrito,the size of the burrito, the beans and the rice, but the carne asada was nothing but grizzle and fat. Yuck. read more

Bomb tacos! My parents come here very frequently (once or twice a week) and they always have great things to say about it. The service is quick and what is even better is that everything is very fresh and you can definitely tell they take their time in what they make. Not to mention that the price is right and their menudo is so good too! I'm very picky with menudo and when I tried it I knew it was going to be a favorite of mine. It's the perfect Sunday morning breakfast! I recommended you come tru this spot out! You won't be disappointed! read more

Taqueria El Jefe - Tripa tacos! - Fast Food Near Me - Pomona, California

Jefe Breakfast burrito was fire!! Authentic as it gets here with home style cooking. If the lady cooks it, you're in for a treat!

This place is great!!! True authentic Mexican tacos, you can't go wrong!! The people behind the counter are insanely nice and their food shows their true passion for an authentic experience. Their green sauce is off the hook!!! Just enough spice to make you crave more, not too much, not too little. read more

OMG, loved the tacos. I ordered 2 buche, 2 cabeza, 1 pastor, 1 asada (I wanted lengua but they ran out). Nice, small tacos piled with meat for $1.35 each for most of the types of meat. It was a Friday and the menu said the only day they serve Pozole is Friday, so one of my kids got that and she loved it. She's my soup girl. It came with a little ramekin of a paste that the lady warned was VERY spicy, so we all tried a bit of it and sure enough it was burning. Awesome. My other kid stayed plain and got a bean, cheese, and rice burrito. She finished it pretty fast as I don't think it was quite as big as she had hoped. Anyways, there is a salsa bar with radish, limes, cilantro/onion mix, cucumber, jalapenos, and each salsa is labeled as to how spicy it is (thank you!). My soup girl also ordered the horchata and after the first sip her eyes got all big cuz I guess it was pretty fantastic. Other daughter had the cucumber lime agua fresca which was really good, too. The service was friendly, helpful, quick, and complete. I paid with a debit card at the counter and then lunch was served to us at our table, which happened to be right by a painting of two ladies with big chichis. What a great lunch! read more

Taqueria El Jefe - pozole on Fridays (and painting of tetas grandes) - Fast Food Near Me - Pomona, California

Guy at the counter couldn't even understand me to take my order. Several advertisements on the window not available, soda machine out of order. Food was rather tasteless without adding a ton of hot sauce to give it some flavor. Pretty run-down, cluttered and dirty inside. Definitely won't return too many cleaner, more appealing options nearby. read more

Update: the meat in my nachos is RANCID. I AM FURIOUS!!!!!! ZERO STARS. I've been going here for years and have had so many AMAZING horchata and nachos. Today they MICROWAVED my nachos. Yes, you read that correctly. They actually microwaved my food... IN STYROFOAM. I was the only person in the restaurant, but the lady managed to get distracted and made me the wrong nachos. (Asada instead of pastor) When she restarted, she went and got cold meat from the fridge and put it on my nachos and then microwaved my nachos in the Styrofoam to-go box. The box is misshapen, the meat is still cold, and my nachos are soggy. I am so upset. I used to love this place, but the quality has gone downhill in the last year. Tip: The asada is gross. Just don't. read more

Our new go-to Mexican place. I love their quesadillas. The portion is quite big that it lasted two meals for me.
