Tacos El Jefe’s

Had been looking up good Mexican places to try and found this on Unilocal.Figured I couldn’t go wrong since there are a lot of good reviews on this place. Ordered a chicken burrito and it was really bland. The chicken had no seasoning and the rice smelled and tasted old. They weren’t busy and had no other customers besides me, so there is no excuse as to why it couldn’t have been a tasty burrito. Maybe the other menu items are good? But I definitely won’t be coming here again. I may check out the Puerto Rican place that is in the same food court, hopefully they’ll be better.

Customer service was great super friendly. the food was amazing MUST try desserts my favorite was the stuffed with caramel churros. they sell about everything from wings to mexican food and deliver.

I ordered for delivery and was extremely surprised at the quality, flavor and even the temperature of the food. It was all perfect. Big portions, more than fair prices, delicious food, and authentic! The bacon wrapped jalapeños are amazing. The carne asada is perfect and the chips and salsa are great too. I will definitely be ordering from them again!

You could drive by this place and not even realizing it’s there .So I order the chicken mole burrito plate. looks good and was excellent .in fact the tacos was very good also.

Customer service and food presentation was great, but none of it tasted very good. I have a stomachache after eating only a few bites of the chimichanga. Also ordered sopes, a breakfast burrito, and quesadilla. It all tasted really similar, like the oil they used was bad or something. Really disappointing, because the food looked awesome but did not live up to my expectations, especially with all these great reviews.

The food here is delicious. I like how fresh everything is here. The owner is really nice too. This is also hidden in the food court by CSN. The food is made in a timely manner and never disappoints. I reccomend the fish tacos and the steak tacos. I usually get 3 or 4 with a side of rice. (The Asian in me, lol). The salad with the tortilla bowl is quite delicious too. I intend to try many more things on the menu. I thought I could only like the Mexican food made at home by my second mom until I tried it here. Delicious!

Well, I went here not wanting to spend a lot of time, but hoping for something better than fast food. The food was what I could have hoped for, but it took an amazing amount of time to get it. I didn’t order anything fancy, just 3 tortas and I was the only person there. So, I’m not sure what the problem was, but I believe it took about 20 minutes which as anyone who’s in a hurry knows seems like a lifetime. So, 4 stars for the food which was good, if unspetacular and 2 for the service. Incidentally, no explanation or apology for the incredible wait time…

My very first review for an awesome place!
Thanks Unilocalers for helping me find this gem. The first time I went there I asked the owner to recommend something new. He said I should try the pastor burrito enchilada style. I went with his recommendation and let me tell you it was one of the best burritos I have ever had. The meat was succulent the enchilada sauce and the sauce in the burrito was spot on. The chips which came with it were nice too but the salsa was good not great, I had higher expectations after eating the burrito I guess!
Next visit tried the smoked bacon wrapped jalapenos and let me tell you they were tasty but spicy in a good way. They came with dipping sauces which really helped with the taste and helped mellow out the spicyness of the jalapeños. Also the owner has mentioned that if I check in I can get choice of 3 tacos or desert. I chose the tacos and I got 3 different meats pork, chicken & beef. I liked the pork the best.
Writing this review is making me crave their food, so I think I am going to try the crab nachos today!

A hidden Mexican food gem! Chose to eat at this place based off if it’s 5star Unilocal review and it lived up to the hype. Had an enchilada plate and not only tasted great, it fully topped off the tank! DELICIOUS!

Can’t get enough of their Carne Asada fries! My kids are hooked & now I got my coworkers here hooked! And what wins the stars is the fact that they deliver!!! Oh one more thing… Love their PROMOS! Thank u smooches!

Just ordered delivery for the office. Super fast delivery! Food was hot, really fresh and really good! Will be ordering again!

First time visiting this place. It’s very close to school and the staff are very friendly. The food was so good! I ordered the tripas burrito and the bacon wrapped jalapeño. Very enjoyable. The location is within a little good court that serves hamburgers, wings, pizza and Korean food. I will most definitely be returning.

Food-​court Mexican stall with a massive menu, including tacos, burritos, tortas, mulitas, sopes, nachos, and more, with a variety of meats. The only thing missing is carne guisada! Also note that they don’t have elote here.
Staff is polite and efficient, wait time is never too long, owner is friendly and is also affiliated with 702 Wing Spot in the same building. You are able to order online or call in your order. The ambiance of the dining court is a little lacking, so takeout is the way to go IMO. Don’t know about delivery options.
Machacada burrito is mostly meat (not necessarily a bad thing), instead of eggs (which is what I’m usually craving, actually). California burrito doesn’t have a ridiculous up charge as at other places. All burritos packed to bursting and weighing in at practically a pound, served with both red and green salsa.
I’m unclear on the difference between sopes and gorditas, but the fact that they’re even offered here is awesome– get the lengua one, or spring for shrimp for a couple bucks more.

What an awesome place!
Tacos El Jefe’s is located in a small free standing food court. It’s an off the wall location as it’s simply a food court that houses 4 — 6 small food concessions.
Anyway, the prices are very reasonable, the service is great (you can tell that your business is appreciated) and the good is amazing. Big portions, great taste and awesome salsas.
On a side note, it’s worth mentioning that all of the concessions look amazing. The only downside is the common area needs to be better maintained. It kind of smells and the floors are really dirty. They really need to address this.

If you want to find place for delicious food, fast making, beautiful presentation, really reasonable price, Tacos El Jefe is the best place for you.
Happy customers, ^ ^

After trying 702 wing spot which is excellent I decided to try their other restaurant across from them tacos El jefe.
This place is just as awesome as wing spot food is delicous. Every order made fresh and prices are good to. The food court there in has seen better days but I always get my food to go anyways. You are doing yourself a great injustice if you don’t come try these two places.

I will re try them. Orig to Arizona as I can get. Salsa and different styles of salsa. There burritos very similar to AZ had one with chicken, cilantro, rice, beans if your craving carbs this is for shure the place. I will be triing some more of there traditional flair next time its defiantly worth a revisit.

Ok so Unilocal keeps removing my reviews because I don’t ramble on an on about every detail… my hubby hates when girls (or anyone) over explains something and after being together 8 years I have learned to what he calls «MAN VERSION» everything… apparently on Unilocal that is not allowed so let me write a review maybe they can be proud of… It was 11a.m. and we were hungry we thought hmmm bachi burger. no not bachi burger and it was then I realized I had this Mexican delivery place bookmarked on Unilocal!Seeing how I was doing laundry and had nothing to wear this seemed like a much better choice. By the time we made the decision to order it was about 1230. I had to leave my house by 230 to pick up my kids. So I went online (btw I am very old school I hate ordering online its much faster to call) signed up made my profile and after 20mins of that I was able to place my order. I ordered 2 orders taquitos mixto, chicken asada torta with no beans, shrimp cocktail, alfredo nachos, 1 shrimp taco, 1carne asada taco, 1 carnitas taco, and there supposed super hot salsa. I click to order and it tells me my food will be delivered at 240! So of course this convenient on line ordering has me on the phone with them anyway and the gentleman on the phone was great! He said no problem I will have your order to you faster than that. Great!!! My food arrives at 2pm awesome just enough time. The delivery girl went over my entire order to ensure everything was correct it was and she was super nice too! As far as customer service this place gets five stars for that but the food? Well here we go
Taquitos mixto: Every one of them tasted different very inconsistent. I know they are all different flavors but what im saying is my chicken one was good, my hubbys chicken one was dry and crunchy chicken inside and they were all soggy but I guess that’s what you get for ordering delivery fried food. The sogginess I understand but I would suggest not plating fried food on a bed of lettuce for delivery and put holes in the containers so the condensation doesn’t build up.
Chicken asada torta: Bread was hard my hubby thought it was gross I took a bite thought it was ok thank you for not putting beans He HATES beans
Shrimp Cocktail: Im trying to be nice but it made me throw up it tasted like someone put Kool-​Aid in tomato sauce with shrimp
Alfredo nachos: This made me so mad!!! This is what my hubby wanted the most we didn’t say no beans because on the menu it doesn’t have beans on it!!! Open it up what was there??? BEANS!!! All over the whole freakin thing so of course he wont eat it! He did manage to stick his finger in one spot to taste the alfredo he said it was good I took a bite it tasted pretty good but I had my own food, I didn’t want that he did! AND AGAIN all soggy maybe for delivery you can deconstruct it in containers and just put the chips in the box youll have a better outcome I think people would rather assemble it themselves (although there are a lot of idiots that would probably need instructions) then have them soggy.
The Tacos: Shrimp one was weird not good or bad just weird, carne asada tasted like they reheated it and over cooked it very dry and hard to eat, carnitas was pretty much the same dry and hard.
Salsa: Most white people would think it was super spicy, I eat habaneros for fun so for me it was ok on spice pretty good flavor
All in all I ordered 50 bucks worth of inedible food we threw most of it out it sucked cause these people are so nice I might try to stop in sometime and give them a try so maybe I can give them a better review! Oh and last their prices are GREAT!

Good food. Décor not gonna get you laid.

Another tucked away little secret located in the Campus Commons building.
As a regular to both Kaba Curry and Wing King i’ve asked several times about the ‘mexican joint’ as we call it as well as the ‘italian joint’ next to Jefe’s. Usually i miss both of them as i tend to come in the late afternoon and early evenings and they pack up after the lunch crowds. So when i decided to stop by early for once Jefe’s was open and i got a chance to try it out.
The daily special sounded good. 3 home made pork tamales and home made horchata as a drink. What sat at a table near by their spot was this
I was pretty damn impressed with what i saw and the horchata was HUGE.
First bite was the best. The end piece was crispy and really hard but the cheese melted and hardened and all the flavors concentrated. After a few more chews i realized that holy crap this is the best tamale i’ve ever had thanks to the end pieces. The owner came out to ask how everything was and i asked him about it. They fried up the tamales on the griddle or something to warm them up and a result of it is the crispy ends.
Aside from the lovely end pieces the tamales were very good quite possibly the best i’ve had, then again i havent had a lot of tamales and i prefer enchiladas. What ever… moving on.
Good seasonings, perfect balance of meat and cheese and the sauce and mayo they added on top create a harmony of flavors.
They plan on staying open later starting in a few weeks so hopefully i found a replacement for Roberto’s.
