We live in the neighborhood and finally made it over to El Jefe last night. Food was great, but the service won us over. We have 3 young kids, and our server was on it. She was ready for us to order the moment we sat down, and the food all came quickly. We appreciate the opportunity to eat out at places with good food AND staff who recognize how difficult it can be to keep babies and toddlers entertained for long periods of time. There were many couples around us enjoying their food and drinks without lots of interruptions, so it was clearly not just a tactic to turn tables quickly. We look forward to coming back!

Food was amazing! I had the mole enchiladas and they were SO good. My boyfriend had battered shrimp tacos and said they were delicious. He also ordered the margarita float and loved it! The vibe of the restaurant is really nice too. It's clean and there's no loud, obnoxious music playing. The staff are also very friendly. Will definitely be coming back :

We went to El Jefe 's on May 11th for happy hour prior to an event at Studio TimeOut. Food and drinks were great. Staff was beyond rude and the male staff member said I was cut off , apparently because I was talking to two black girls at the bar, having fun and laughing. Obviously they have a no fun code that I wasn 't aware of!

So, this is my second time visiting El Jefe. The first time was SOOOO Bomb! This experience had to been the WORST! The chips were Uber Salty, the guacamole salsa from the trio dip was Uber Sour! The flight was AWESOME!!! It's an Uber NO for me to come back!!!! I do NOT recommend, as the cook change FREQUENTLY? Book a table now

Could not ask for a better experience! The atmosphere was warm and inviting. The service was quick and very friendly staff! The food...incredible! If you like a spicy margarita this is the place to go. We had the ceviche, seafood nachos, ahi tuna tacos, fish tacos flan. HIGHLY recommend El Jefe!!
