    What I wanted vs what I got
    Jay D.

    If you're not of mexican descent, this spot is ok. It's like a high end Taco Bell. Btw birria is not birria..it's more like machaca or barbacoa. Carne asada is ok. But can tell who it's geared to. Also green is not spicy, red is. Need to update that.

    Food and horchata was delicious !!!!!!!! Service was amazing , the caballeros were professional and patient with this being first time here. I love that it has authentic ambiance and music and it's so clean. Ever in the area ? Come get birria tacos here

    Egg and Cheese Burrito

    Available on Ubereats and convenient to order. They even had a few Buy One, Get One offers. Overall, the quality of the food was delicious. The service was quick as my driver had to my office in no time. In the future, I'll try to visit this location to see the layout, ambiance, and overall aesthetic of the business.

    I dipped in here on a walk because it was Tuesday and, tacos. Absolutely delicious. This is my kind of comfort food. All of it was a win, including the staff. I showed up late and they were still happy to see me and feed me tacos for the holiday. Keep them!

    Birria Quesataco
    Shannon S.

    Visited for the first time and just got a birria quesataco; I had never had one before. I must say, I was impressed. The meat was tender and flavorful, the consume was just as flavorful and they give you a healthy amount. Originally, I was going to get two, but I'm glad I did not, as one was like two. The place was clean, the service was quick, and it was reasonably priced. Next time I go ill try their burritos and nachos.

    The Nachos big portion tasty.

    Clean establishment. Not good customer service. Cashier cared more about her lip gloss and being on the phone than greeting customers. El Jefe look upset. When asking about the burritos he seemed irritable. Nachos where good. Food tasted fresh. However I'm big on Customer service it was my first time there.

    Tasty Tacos Been here a few times but until today I have never written a review. All I can say is, if you like tacos, El Jefe Tacos not disappointed. I ordered the quesabirria. The tortilla was crispy and soft at the same time, the meat was flavorful and plenty. One of the better Tacos I've had in a while. My sister had they fish tacos Which are battered and fried upon order. I can't wait to try other menu items on my next visit. Great food and service, wallet friendly pricing, give this place a try, you won't regret it.

    Came here for lunch. Was greeted very nicely as I walked in. Took a look around. Very clean restaurant. Plenty of tables to sit at. Very accessible menu with lots of variety and choices. I decided on the Jefe small nachos and I'm glad I did because those filled me up! They serve Coca Cola products and that's a win for me since I love Coke Zero. I chose a good time to eat there since it wasn't that busy but once I got my food here came the lunch rush. These gentlemen that work here work very hard and are very friendly. They made me feel at ease upon arrival. Give them a try. Well worth it!

    Cheddar bacon omelet breakfast burrito
    Mike D.

    The staff, specifically the cook who was running the stove, was rude from the moment we stepped into the restaurant. I ordered a bacon cheddar omelet breakfast burrito....the cook was acting a little strange in the back and taking a while to cook our meal. (Also ordered 2 tacos). The cashier confirmed our order, we tipped them and were on our way. We get home and I go to take a bite of my bacon cheddar omelet breakfast burrito and it looks a bit soggy and oily....but I still give it a shot. It tastes just like a soggy tortilla with what I think is just fat and the disregarded ingredients the chef intended to throw away. I thought the eggs may have been just further down toward the bottom of the burrito. I took one more bite and then realized that the cook intentionally gave me an entire greasy tortilla filled with all of the end trails of the bacon and scrap pieces they were intending to disregard because they were just not edible nor safe to be consumed. We went back to the restaurant and inform them of this and they had nothing to say. It was a clear sign of unsafe practice of food handling. Stay away from this restaurant....

We started out with an off menu appetizer consisting of healthy sized octopus tentacles served with potatoes in a delicious sauce. Everything was tender and delicious.

I was happy about the little purse hooks on the table (iykyk). The outside area, not so much. It's on the corner of a strip mall, there was some etched graffiti on the outside windows, which made you aware of the area you were in. (That's the reason for the 1 star deduction.) The place is very small! So yes, you WILL want to make a reservation. We went around 3:30 on a Friday and I would say 3/4 of the tables had reserved signs on them starting at 5pm on up. The receptionist was constantly back and forth looking at them and moving them around to make space for walk-ins. I would skip bringing your kids here. I didn't use the restroom so idk if that was nice or not. The food was fantastic! And the portions were big. The price matched the portions and quality in our opinion. It's hard to find quality food that's worth the cost lately. We enjoyed the chips and salsa. And hubby ordered a Mexican coke, and the server brought him a frosty glass for it. Everyone around us looked like they were enjoying their food. Our server was great. He chatted with us for a while when we told him about seeing the place on IG. He was grateful for the customers. But admitted, it's caused an influx of people and the 'regulars' have become annoyed. Which is understandable. We'd definitely come back if we're in the area but probably not drive that far out of our way again.

There's something so cozy and welcoming about this spot that makes it feel familiar every time we walk through the door. One of my favorite things to order here is the chilaquiles. I usually switch up the meat depending on what I'm craving, and this visit I went with chorizo. The tortilla chips have that perfect balance of crisp edges and just enough sauce to soften them without turning soggy. The chorizo adds a savory, slightly smoky richness, while the toppings bring everything together with fresh, bright flavors. It's the kind of breakfast where every bite has a little crunch, a little spice, and plenty of flavor. I also love ordering a fresh orange juice alongside my coffee--it's become part of my usual routine here. There's something about fresh OJ with a comforting plate of chilaquiles that just makes breakfast feel extra special. The service has consistently been wonderful, and the atmosphere is warm and comfortable without feeling overly formal. After all these years, Presidio Cocina Mexicana remains one of those spots I genuinely enjoy returning to. Good food, great service, and that cozy neighborhood feel that keeps you coming back.

    I think I just found my new favorite Mexican restaurant!…read more The ambience here is charming. It's located in what looks like an old house, painted on the outside in a dark red paint. There are roses hanging from the ceiling, exposed brick, and colored lighting (would you notice more as the sun goes down). The wood ceilings really make this place special. There is a small bar in the corner. Don't forget to look up because there is a little door above with the guardian angel and children painted on it, and a couple of stained glass windows. From the minute we walked in, we were meeting with smiling faces. When you first walk in, you are inside the kitchen or at least right next to it. We started with a couple of drinks - a Corona and a Diablito, a sotol cocktail with lots of pureed mango. A basket of chips and a bowl of Green dip or brought to the table, and we were directed to the salsa bar back near the entrance. The salsa bar is fantastic, with several different kinds of salsa. We grabbed what tasted like a creamy tomatillo salsa, a pineapple salsa, a pico de gallo, and a creamy Serrano salsa. They were all so good that we couldn't say which was our favorite. I know that pineapple salsa just sent me over the moon! For an entree, hubby ordered a Sonoran burrito. He said the burrito was delicious, and kept pointing out how good the guacamole and side was. It wasn't especially big or small. I ordered the fajitas (steak and chicken combo) and the minute they came to the table sizzling, both my husband and I were surprised at how large this portion was. It was served with tortillas (you get your choice of corn or flour), black beans, and rice. The black beans were good - - I suppose they just tasted like black beans. I was surprised at how delicious the rice was because it's white and I expected it just to taste like white rice. But there was a creaminess to it and a flavor that I couldn't put my finger on but that I know was really yummy (butter, maybe? Cheese, maybe?? Idk). Good meat in my fajitas was super tender and the veggies were grilled just right. This was a really common really delicious meal. This place had been on my list for a long time and now that I finally been here, I'm kicking myself for not coming here sooner. The food was fantastic, the prices super reasonable, and it's set in a cozy, romantic setting. This place is going to be on a regular rotation for us!
