Fish Burrito and Chicken Quesadilla
Bailey P.

Great food and very affordable! We stopped by on a Friday night and the place was hopping! We were lucky to snag the last table. It seemed like their "to go" is pretty popular too. We ordered at the counter and it didn't take long for our food to arrive. I tried the chicken quesadilla which was delicious! Big portion - LOT of cheese - and it came with guac! My boyfriend had the fish burrito and a beer which he said was both a 10/10. Our meal also came with complimentary chips and salsa. I hope to be back sometime soon to try the shrimp burrito!

YESSSSSSS! I've been struggling to find my go to taco spot and I can FINALLY say Jefa Tacos is it!!! My husband and I stopped in for dinner here during the week. Throughout our time there carry out and dine in orders were consistently being prepared. Staff members were friendly and helpful. They also gave us complimentary chips and salsa. I think the chips are made to order bc they came out fresh and were still hot. They were delicious. The space can seat up to ~50 people. It was designed nicely and sets the tone of an authentic Mexican taco spot. I tried 3 tacos - tinga de pollo, al pastor and the Jefa taco. Their chicken tinga has been the first 1 I've ever had that was not dry. It was cooked perfectly, juicy, and was full of flavor. My husband and I shared rice and beans and I'll definitely be adding that the next time we're back. I don't normally order rice and beans since everywhere I go they seem to be meh. That wasn't the case here. It was very good!

The food selection was outstanding, Restaurant was very clean. I assume somebody left they cleaned the tables off. Prices were reasonable. Service was fast and friendly. If you're in the area, I would recommend you if you're interested.

Thank you to my fellow Yelpers for recommending this hidden gem in Aurora. Located in a strip center on Butterfield Rd....Jefa Tacos serves fresh and authentic Mexican foods at affordable prices. You order yourself from their huge selection of tacos,tortas,burritos,tamales and much more. Breakfast served all day! While you wait for your food to be made ,they serve you warm homemade chips and salsa.. complimentary! We tried their Taco Asada,Shrimp and Jefa tacos along with a Grilled veggie tostada and a Steak tostada. Everything was flavorful and delicious! They also have a variety of Mexican sodas as well as desserts. Kids menu also available. Super friendly staff makes you feel at home and the food was amazing. Can't wait to go back and try more of their fantastic Mexican cuisine.

Cute, casual taco joint with a friendly staff. this recommend eatery was so affordable and the food was flavorful. I loved the colorful decor. Chips were warm and the salsa had a bright Smokey flavor. The veggies tostada was loaded and is worth a return visit on its own. I also took two tamales home to try later and I loved that the staff recommended how to best reheat them.

10/10 Jefe Tacos did not disappoint. The vibe was so good, the music was on point, they had the World Cup playing, and the staff was seriously amazing. The fish tacos were to die for and the margaritas were fireeeeeee. Definitely one of those places I'll be coming back!!!!!

I stopped in here for lunch on a Wednesday in between meetings and what a nice find! The place wasn't very crowded as it was the beginning of Lunch time. The restaurant was well lit with traditional, colorful art hung on and painted on the walls and ceilings. The place was very clean and had a pretty packed menu. I tried a shrimp and pastor taco with rice and beans. I was seated and chips and salsa came out as well. The shrimp taco was my favorite of everything I tried. I liked the fast service and clean welcoming environment!

Fish & Shrimp Taco
Brittany E.

A hidden gem! They have the best Shrimp and Fish tacos I have ever had. The food is always flavorful hot and made fresh to order! The vibrant atmosphere and friendly service make each visit a delightful experience. Don't forget to try their homemade warm salsa. It's a place you'll find yourself returning to, eager to explore more of their delicious offerings!

My first taste of Mexican on this trip stateside not disappointed 10/10 for taste and size
Glen S.

Super my first taste of Mexican on this trip stateside. Enormous portion too much for me and good overall flavours combined with a good heat

Janet B.

I have been here a couple times now and every time my family and I eat here the food tastes great. The complimentary chips and salsa are good but I wish there was more. The last time I visited I ordered nachos. They were flavorful and very filling. The atmosphere can be a little over whelming because of the lights, music, and TVs going but didn't bother us too much. Would recommend to others to try.

Queso Dip
Kristen S.

This queso is delicious, nice subtle kick to it too! The service here is awesome. We let them know I'm allergic to raw tomatoes and easily could accommodate. The salsa is pretty fantastic too, it's fresh and has a good level of heat to it. Ordered the pork tamale, based of recommendation from the team working. Great suggestion, and add the sour cream and cheese to it too! Muy bueno!

Not sure how they got 4.5 stars. Their foot is very mediocre. Nothing special. Steak tacos were okay. Tamales were bad hardly had any meet.

Visited La Sierra on January 30, 2026, for breakfast with my fellow foodie and dear friend after…read morereceiving a recommendation for this restaurant from my wife. La Sierra was approximately a 35-minute drive from our home in the western suburbs. We arrived at approximately 8:30 AM. As we drove up my wingman John commented that he would not have come into this neighborhood or restaurant if I was not with him. Yes, the neighborhood was a bit rough (I grew up in Pilsen in the 1960's) but to me it felt like home in Chicago. We walked in and were warmly greeted by the hostess and waitress and told to sit-down anywhere we wanted. We chose a booth in the second room of the restaurant; the walls were covered with photos of Mexico and the smell coming from the kitchen was heaven. Our waitress quickly approached us for our drink order, she mentioned that they had Cafe de la Olla (made with piloncillo-unrefined whole cane sugar from Latin America, and cinnamon sticks) which we both ordered. The coffee arrived in a colorful Mexican traditional mug (just the way my mother used to make me). It was delicious! We then ordered our breakfast, which was Mexican Chilaquiles (a traditional, comforting breakfast dish consisting of crispy tortilla chips simmered in red or green salsa until slightly softened) with eggs, meat & refired beans. We were both in "Heaven", the tortilla chips were perfectly cooked with just enough "Crisp" to them. Just the way my mother used to make me on a weekend morning. My wingman & I both agreed that we will be returning and bringing our fellow foodies with us to try the other dishes offered!

At first I wasn't sure if this place was even open as all the reviews I saw on Yelp and google…read moreappeared to be several years old. There was a line when we got there (around noon) which I feel is usually a sign of tasty food. The tortilla chips were so yummy with a flavorful seasoning and delicious salsa. The service was quick and the food was great. While the interior leaves something to be desired, everything seemed clean and the food was great!

They easily handled our big group and the service was excellent.We got Guac and Salsa Verde for the table, both made fresh on their mobile guac/salsa station, that was pretty cool. The guac was guac but the Salsa Verde was warm and fresh and super good, we got it mild as we had a lot of different people with different tastes. I was surprised by the.... call it the Authenticity of the menu. They had the standard tex mex stuff like burritos and enchiladas, but also a lot of things I have never seen or heard of. One thing I noticed walking in was the large amount of Nopales (cactus) cooking on the grill, so I really wanted something with Nopales. I settled on the Molcajete Mixto, which is an incredibly large pile of Chicken, Pork and Beef with red chili sauce, with peppers and onions, fresh cheese and Nopales served in a Molcajete. It was so so good, the meat had great flavor, all cooked perfectly and I took so much home I had it twice more. They also have homemade tortillas. It was one of the better restaurant meals I've had in a long time. My wife had a simple Taco salad with steak and it was just as good. I can't believe we had never been here. We certainly will be back and bring everyone I know. I hear they have maratchi on the weekends at night. There is so much more I want to try on the menu, it's a great location on the river. I don't understand the underwhelming yelp reviews, but I absolutely loved it.

The restaurant was clean, quiet, the bathrooms were clean, the cashier so sweet and patient--I couldn't ask for more! We ordered a asada burrito dinner, a chorizo burrito, and a large horchata to split. We were given a basket of chips and a delicious salsa that had flavor, but wasn't too spicy! The burritos were generously filled and had avocado! That's not something I see everywhere. The beans were a great consistency, the rice was soft and flavorful, and the horchata was top notch! It had a unique flavor, too, and wasn't watery. The cup also wasn't overfilled with ice! While we were patiently waiting for the burritos, we fell victim to the slideshow and decided we just had to try a gordita lol. It was SO good, but the portions were so filling we had to take the rest of the gordita and part of a burrito with. The tomatillo sauce was perfect and the red sauce had quite a kick to it, but not enough that it was painful. The food didn't NEED any extra sauce, but I like to try them, anyways! I wished I lived in this area so I could eat more gorditas, but I will definitely stop here again if I am around! If you're lucky enough to live in the area, please do support this sweet business!

Also, the store has a nice vibe with wonderful music to listen to and a nice atmosphere. This place can feel like your 2nd kitchen if you love Mexican food! I adore this place.
