Reviews for El Jefe in Mississauga, ON
Ordered the Chicken Chimichanga, it was quite good and flavourful. My only issue is the portion, it was smaller that I thought... or maybe I am just a big boy ????. The venue quite small and packed! The outside seating was pleasant especially on summer days.The server was nice and understandably overwhelmed. They were out of steak when I went so will be returning to try out thetacos. Overall, definitely worth a try if you are in the area. Read more
This is a very popular place. We ordered chicken tacos, fish tacos, quesadillas and Queso Fundido. The chicken taco was soooo... spicy and I did not enjoy the flavour. I had told the waitress I didn't like spicy food and she didn't warn me. In truth, weweren't happy with our waitress. More on that later. The fish taco was awesome. It was delicious. I would go back to orderthe fish tacos on take out. I wouldn't go dine in again. The queso looked burned but didn't taste burned. It was difficultto eat. It's supposed to be a dip but I needed a knife to make it edible. I'm guessing it's not supposed too be like that. The quesadillas was good. Our waitress didn't bring any napkins or cutlery our table. The Coke we ordered was flat. My guesthad to get up and go to the bar to get napkins. Sir didn't even ask us if we wanted water. I would have given it a 2 star ifthe fish taco wasnt so delicious. I won't be back to dine but I may order the fish tacos to go if I'm in the area. Read more
~~ HALAL CHICKEN ~~ Atmosphere and place was great but food was bland and tasteless. All the food was pretty bland not spicy... or flavorful at all. I wouldn't come again personally but still glad I tried it once ! Prices were a little on the higher sideand there's extra charges for basic things like jalapeños and sauces. Would of preferred grilled chicken pieces instead ofpulled chicken in the tacos and actual fries instead of flour thingys those are filling tho! Read more
Reaaaally happy I listened to my friends recommendation and tried out El Jefe for dinner. The food, drinks, atmosphere and staff... were all amazing. Danny was our server, he was very attentive and very honest which I love. Always made sure our water glasseswere full ????. Came online and am literally shocked to see the ratings aren't higher.. they definitely deserve all the starsand all the praise! Read more
Finally able to try El Jefe for the first time. The place is beautifully decorated, We really like all the artistic murals and... decors all throughout the restaurant. They have a heated patio too. Place is spacious, seats are comfortable. The staff were sofriendly and very welcoming. Special hello to Angie! Thank you! Most importantly, food is great! We had vegetarian nachos, themango salsa is yum! Nachos were so crispy. Good for 2-3 persons. Chimichanga was really good. It had a very generous topping w/cwe really loved! We really enjoyed this dish. Tacos- Vampiro: steak. It was good. A bit chewy but overall, it’s stillgood. Pescado: fish. This is a must try. Burrito bowl with steak, meat was tasty, though some pieces were a bit chewy but stillwould say that this also a must try. Good amount of serving. They also have a good selection of drinks menu. Would definitelytry that next time. Read more
Such a good spot in Port Credit to unwind and enjoy delicious food & drinks with your friends! El Jefe has an outdoor patio... which is amazing in the summer you'll feel like you're on vacation + you can't go wrong with any of their drinks it's a goodvibe. We went back when they had first opened and we can happily say that they've significantly improved the quality/taste offood! From the menu we got: - Classic Margarita - Blue Margarita - Camaron Taco - Coliflor Taco - Ceviche De Camaron - BurritoBowl - Nachos - Churros Location: 66 Lakeshore Rd E, Mississauga Read more
I love the decor of this restaurant. The vibe is great and the staff, John was pretty good and friendly. We ordered quite a bit... to try and everything was cooked beautifully and taste very good. The only complaint I have was the fish taco, is pretty fishy.I would highly recommend this restaurant ???? Read more
El Jefe has the Best Nachos in town, ????awesome drinks my margaritas were strong and delicious ????, great music and ambiance.... I need to come back and try your menu. One thing I didn't like was how cramped the patio tables were I couldn't get out of mytable as the other chair behind me was blocking me from getting out, remove a table or get stools instead of those big chair ugot.
