Had a fantastic meal out on the patio!Grilled octopus was nicely prepared and chips and salsa were fresh. Shared the enchiladas suizas and taco special (crab) and wanted to lick the plates! Highly recommend having dinner here. Service was perfect!
This is the type of place you bring people, knowing they will be impressed, but you can downplay it as "just" a local neighborhood spot.
Everything is impeccable. The margaritas were great. We tried the short rib enchiladas and wisdom chicken- both of which we went back for 2 days later. My friend ordered the mushroom tacos which hadn't appealed to me, but they were delicious! They have a rich, umami flavor and I highly recommend!
The service is also fantastic-everyone is super friendly and the atmosphere is fun and familiar. Trust me, you'll love it.
Yum! From the moment we opened the door until we left the staff was amazing. Friendly, knowledgeable and open to help pick items to try. Drinks were delicious. Well crafted, nicely balanced. Food was really good. If we lived in denver this would be on a weekly rotation.
Thrilled to find delicious Mexican food in Denver. Farm to table no less! We loved everything we tried and our waiter was fantastic and made the experience even more fun.
Absolutely delicious. Highly recommend the queso birra tacos or the mole enchiladas. The strawberry horchata was the best drink ever. We ordered a banana split (amazing) & our sever gave us a key lime pie on the house, which was also delicious and very kind of him! Great atmosphere & amazing service all around. Absolutely recommend trying this place, will definitely be returning!
Ordered the enchiladas, which I thought were great but my partner didn’t like at all. We also got the quesadilla and queso. We had ordered street corn but never received it and wasn’t on the bill. Overall the food was good
And I’ll definitely be coming back.
Staff is top notch!!! But the food is on it's own level of deliciousness. Very cool vibe and they had the best music playing. If you are looking for a hip with delicious food and great service then you definitely need to stop here. This was our first time, but definitely not the last. Thank you to the service staff and a very big thank you to the chefs cooking thus delicious food. Returning customers we are!!!! Until the next time very soon cheers !!!
Amazing food and service! The elote and vegetable quesadilla were my fav!
Farm To Table done right. This Mexican cuisine is super fresh and tastes amazing. From the margaritas that have a multitude of fresh flavors. To the Crab Nachos and Beer Battered Fish Tacos that taste like it was caught yesterday. Everything here hits the spot.
The tacos are the name of the game. From Vegetarian options like their Mushroom Tacos to their Barbacoa Tacos, all of them hit the spot. Check them out for an amazing taco Tuesday deal to get a cheap taste of the menu!
I hear brunch hits the spot too!
I am not sure what it was about El Jefe that made me feel safe, but I walked in and asked for a booth, to mitigate the chaos, and marched my two toddlers, throwing up hands as guard rails, behind the host to our table. The hungry grumpy monsters loved the food and the atmosphere was active enough to keep us all comfortable and entertained. Highly recommend to anyone but definitely to any parents who want to go out for a family meal but need to feel like a real adult person.
I went in for happy hour the other night and boy was it good! My husband and I both had margaritas- just the right amount of salt, no or almost no sweet and sour…good enough that we both had a second even though we’d only intended to have one. I really liked their chips. They’re thicker than the normal variety and taste house made. The guacamole was yummy and fresh, but we both really enjoyed the queso dip- seriously, I’ve been thinking about it all week. We also ordered the chicken fajita tacos- flavorful without being spicy (important when you e got a 2 year old in tow) and the veggie farm tacos, which were a little spicy, but were such a great combination of beans and veggies that I didn’t mind the spice since it meant I didn’t have to share!!
We’ll definitely be back for happy hour soon. I’d also really like to make it for brunch sometime as their brunch menu looks delicious!

Mo and I did a dine in for dinner last night and yes make a reservation in advance as El Jefe isn’t super big.
Appetizer wise we ordered the Guac w Cojita Cheese ($2 extra) along with the Salsa Trio which was Salsa roja, xni-pec and salsa verde.The chips were def made in house and had the right amount of salt. All salsas were tasty!
Then I ordered the QUESABIRRIA which was their Slow cooked marinated beef in 3 folded corn tortillas with melted asadero cheese. Avocado salsa on top. Served with a side of consomé with onions and cilantro (au jus) for dipping. This alone was worth coming here because this was the least greasiest Quesabirria I’ve ever had! It was so good I ate all 3!
On Tuesdays, they have select Tacos @ $2 a piece which is a fair deal.
For dessert we did their MEX-KEY LIME PIE which was made with a Graham cracker crust, Mexican key lime custard, caramelized pumpkin seeds + whipped cream. It was great but I would get it next time without the seeds. No need for that.
They get one less star because the 2 types of Tequila I asked for they didn’t have. So I settled for one that was mediocre and so much that I didn’t finish my drink.
The service was good and the food came out quickly. It’s a nice date or friends night out spot!
