We enjoy visiting El Jefe for dinner a couple times a month. It's true to its Mexican heritage with the decor and the authentic... menu items & drinks. Something for everyone...a must stop if you are visiting the area. We also purchase gift cards everyChristmas for friends, family and employees. Read more

Almost every Tuesday we visit for dinner and it's the best Mexican food in town. It's not anything over the top, just a simple... tradition menu and for a very fair price. Usually it's easy to get a table with no wait and the staff is very friendly and kind.They are quick to get your orders in and the food comes out even faster. The food is always well seasoned and tasteful thoughsometimes the steak or chicken comes out very well done. I usually don't recommend them and suggest the pork, shrimp and fish.They have always been cooked right, especially the pork, it's a favorite of mine. The birria tacos are very good also and highlyrecommended when they are available. Anyone looking for a drink with a punch the house margaritas will do it. They don't holdback so they can be a bit rough to drink but if you're looking for a good kick for cheap that's the best thing to get outside ofa straight shot of tequila ????. If you go in on certain days they are on sale for only $3.50 each, that's a fantastic deal.Outside of typical dine in and bar aspects they hold all kinds of fun events for adults and kids from live music nights tocostume parties to Easter egg painting. There's always something going on for everyone at El Jefe making it one of my favoriteplaces to goto in town. Read more

Big portions for a decent price BUT food wasn?t tasty or authentic Mexican food. Cheese on the nachos tasted like plastic.... Plantains weren?t so tasty either. Our server was nice tho. I?m not coming back nor recommend this place to my friends. Read more

We were pretty disappointed with our visit here. I ordered the barbacoa with a mango habanero salad. The salad was sad (see... picture) and the barbacoa was essentially a pot roast with some brown gravy. My wife ordered steak tacos and received chickeninstead. Very underwhelmed and will likely not be returning. Side comment; they need to do something about the lighting in thebuilding. The ceiling lights are separate from the fans so it gives off a strobe effect. Read more

Good and bad things. The enchiladas were delicious. The fajitas were okay, can?t say great. However, we were surprised by the... fast service (from the kitchen crew). The food came out very quick. We were not pleased with the waitress. She was not realfriendly. We could come back if front line staff is more friendly and kind, but not on my first options to eat right now. Read more

The atmosphere was so fun and loud here, and amazing service! Our food came surprisingly fast for how busy it was. Everything... tasted absolutely delicious, especially the deep fried oreos with ice cream and strawberry syrup. If we were in town longer wewould be back for sure! Read more

Freshly made chips, strong drinks, fresh ingredients all around. The tacos were phenomenal and they have plenty of different... tacos to pick from. My wife loved her steak fajitas and the restaurant was clean. Definitely would come back and glad to find aplace to eat on the eastern shore besides Italian and seafood. Read more
