What a delightful surprise at El Jefe! 🌮 We stopped in for dinner and were immediately welcomed by friendly staff. I tried the Carnita and Slow Brisket tacos, and they were bursting with flavor! The Roughneck Margarita was refreshing and perfectly balanced.

The casual atmosphere made it a lovely spot for a night out. I was impressed with the portion sizes - enough for a late-night snack afterward! Definitely a place to sit at the bar and enjoy great food and drinks. We can't wait to return! 🍹✨
