Guestbook
“ Well, jefe was recommended to us from our hotel just down the street and what a great recommendation it was. While the shop tends to be small, it was crowded and you know if a place is crowded, the food is good. We had a burrito, it was the grilled steak and it's made to order. They'll put it together right there in front of you. The staff was very, very pleasant. Very eager to answer questions and the food was fabulous. Great burrito. Great choice. Thank you. Glad we went. ”

“ A nice Mexican themed restaurant, food is delicious, they serve tacos, burritos and bowls. If you’re a lover of spicy food I recommend El Jefe’s. The atmosphere consists of lovely decorations, bright lights and Mexican songs. Wifi was really good. The seating consisted of wooden tables and plastic chairs and the utensils were plastic.
