Review by Maribel Frami

September 28, 2024

El Jefe Denver is a gem for anyone craving authentic Mexican cuisine! ๐ŸŒฎ The service was exceptional even during a busy lunch rush - our waiter struck the perfect balance of attentiveness without being intrusive.

We started with their guacamole and queso, both of which were outstanding! The birria ramen and quesa birria were unique and flavorful, though a touch salty. My heart melted for the chicken plantain quesadilla; the sweet and savory blend was divine!

With a cozy vibe and a fantastic drink menu (donโ€™t miss the strawberry horchata!), this spot has firmly earned a place on my must-visit list. Can't wait to go back! ๐ŸŽ‰
