Basic little place in a plaza in Lake Forest. It's also one of the cheaper places around here. Jefe's Tacos of course has Mexican food, just Americanized though. Good enough for a lunch. The prices are kind of high for being pretty basic and they're also getting orders wrong and are slow.After looking around awhile, we found it. It's actually located in a plaza called Westwood Square. There's a hall that winds around a few other businesses so it's not obvious to see from the street, and it took a few times walking past it to find this. Also, it was closed. They changed their hours. It's now only open for lunch, so we had to come back. Later we tried it again and it was finally open. Each of...
For starters online, they say they have horchata, but they didn't, so it was already off to a rough start for me. This place is located in the little plaza that's next to Jewel. It's a very small space. A few tables and a couple of bar seats. They do have outdoor seating available, though. It's definitely a vibe when you go in. Its small space is nicely decorated and kept clean. The menu is on a chalkboard, so you have to go in to see what they have available. There were a few people ahead of me. It took about a few minutes before someone came out to help us. I ordered a chicken bowl and a steak bowl with chips l, salsa, and guacamole. I know everything is starting to get pricey, but this pl...
Jefe's Tacos is Lake Forest's go-to taco hotspot! The food is fresh and delicious and the service is prompt and friendly. There's a variety of protein options and a ton of tasty toppings and sauces. I like their grilled chicken and grilled mushroom tacos with all my favorite toppings. SO delicious! Jefe's offers family and party box options as well. When you walk into Jefe's, it's like an escape! The authentic decor is a vibe. The traditional Spanish tile is gorgeous and the hand painted Día de Muertos artwork is incredible. The bold and bright colored chairs add to the vibrant, fun atmosphere. I highly recommend checking out this Mexican hotspot any day of the week ... not just for Taco Tue...

I wouldn't recommend coming here, especially on a Sunday! I had no way of knowing this beforehand. There was no one available to assist us, and the menu was incomplete. I was quoted $10 for a burrito, so I was surprised when I ended up being charged $15 without receiving a receipt. To top it off, the last server kept reminding us that they were short-staffed and suggested that if we wanted better service, we should have gone to their sister restaurant next door.
The service was awful. They claim they don't speak Spanish, but when they do, it takes them too long to respond.
Parking: There is parking available across the street.
