TACOS EL JEFE in Illinois

"Delicious food! I’ve tried various items from their menu and all have been amazing! The staff is kind and the service is fast. Highly recommend!"

"Im a gringo as a gringo can get but I always feel at home at El Jefe. The staff is friendly and fast. The pozole is AWSOME for a hang over and the biria tacos are fantastic. I frequent El Jefe at least 2-4 times a week and they never disappoint. The staff speaks English and are very courteous. The restaurant is clean and they have ample seating. If I could give 100 stars I would."

"No frills Mexican restaurant. Nice variety of food. My husband and I stopped in for lunch as we wanted to try this place since it opened recently. We shared a taco dinner and burrito. Everything was really good. The chicken had really nice flavor from the grill. Will definitely be back!"

"**Updated review 2-25-24** came in today to try the menudo and chicharron grueso/carnudo. Both are great, menudo nice and spicy. A little different from what we are used to but it was still so good. Came in to get some Barbacoa de Res to go. It has great taste and cooked perfectly. They have plenty of options and we will definitely be back to try the rest. The staff was very friendly and attentive. They were able to answer all the questions and they made recommendations. The restaurant is definitely up to date and they have a great selection of salsas!"

"Tacos were good and full of flavor. Staff were really friendly, especially our waitress. I had steak tacos and a coca-cola on this visit. I've had their horchata before which was so rich and flavorful. The place was clean and nicely decorated."

"What a cute place! The best carnitas we’ve had since moving to Chicago a year ago. Limited menu but you can buy all their meats by the pound. Taco plate was great, beans savory and delicious! Rice was outstanding too. Tacos come with either onions and cilantro or lettuce and tomatoes. Staff is friendly and attentive. Two salsas came with our meal, one red and mild, the other green and spicy and really good. Soda was in cans or bottles and surprisingly no chips! Plenty of parking!"

"We popped in to grab some dinner to- go. Quick and friendly service. They answered our questions and had everything ready quickly."

"So good. They got really good carnitas. The salsa is also real good my favorite is the orange salsa. I also tried the barbacoa it was solid ,, very tasty!"
