Quesabirria was literally the best I've ever had. Like so amazing. So hot and crispy and juicy. Also had the flan and churro. The flan is creamy and the caramel is so flavorful. But dang. The churro came out so crispy and so warm and gooey. The guy at the register was so nice and so funny lmfao. The vibes of the restaurant is immaculate read more

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.

This is a restaurant where you order at the counter and someone brings your food out. It's in a storefront in a strip mall. Clean, colorful, and good music. We ordered the shrimp tacos and chilaquiles. The tacos were served on a flour tortilla, a practice I've never seen. The filling was somewhat like coleslaw. It was a weird combo. The chilaquiles were good. The green salsa had some heat though, so if that's a problem for you be careful. I think this place is ok. Let me know what you think read more

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! read more

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! read more

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.

Every time I drive home from work, I pass by Jefa Tacos and after a week since I tried their tacos, I could no longer resist the urge!! So I asked my wife if she wanted Mexican food for dinner and the first thing she asked was...Jefa Tacos? Well, that was easy! She again wanted the shrimp & the fish taco dinners while I had to try their Quesabirria tacos which were delicious! But darn, I actually forgot to try the churro sundae... well, now I have a reason to go back. read more

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!!!!! read more

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! read more

Jefa Tacos - My first taste of Mexican on this trip stateside not disappointed 10/10 for taste and size - Mexican Near Me - Aurora, Illinois

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. read more

Service was great. Very friendly and fast service. Hubby got the birria tacos and I got a tinga taco and al pastor taco. Very good. Got a side of rice and beans. Beans were delicious. We ordered the tres Leche cake to split and we were disappointed. Looks nothing like picture on their menu. Very small triangle piece. Was not worth the price and taste was just alright. read more

The food is amazing!!!!! Love the service, tacos and everything else about it I would recommend to anyone

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! read more

This place is amazing I love the tacos and the orange cream soda I have been coming here since I was 8. I love the art and bright colors that make my baby bros happy! The workers are nice and overall this place is great for families. read more

Favorite spot! My friends and I have been coming here for years. The staff and owner are always so kind and quick to help--especially with chip refills, which I love. Free chips and refills? Yes, please! I wish the prices were just a lil cheaper (but I'll admit I can be a bit of a cheapskate). Still, I'd eat here any day! read more

Whoa, these tacos are legit. They are crammed full of meat, yet are only $2.50 each?? THIS PLACE HAS GREAT VALUE. Carne asada: Very good. Savory and tender. A 4/5 overall. Pastor: Also very tasty and tender. Solid 4/5. Jefa: their specialty tacos are undoubtedly worth the extra 25 cents. This was a freaking amazing taco. Holy crap, it was so fatty and rich, came with a great sauce. 5/5 taco They gave us some complimentary chips and salsa, which was very good. They also gave us two bottles of salsa: a green cilantro-based salsa and a spicier red salsa. The green salsa was freaking amazing! I loved it so much. The red salsa was very good as well. Fantastic value? Solid standard taco choices? Amazing specialty tacos? This is my new go-to Mexican restaurant in the western suburbs. It used to be Bien Trucha, but I heard that place is on the decline. read more

Jefa Tacos - Carne asada, Al pastor, Jefa - Mexican Near Me - Aurora, Illinois

Well...pricey for the quality of the food I'm sure that I could find other places that offer better for less even I can cook it better to be honest. Let's start with the drink, $3 seriously? For a medium cup anyway I ordered a TORTA de Asada. My discontent I have about my visit is the meat it was chewy and defiantly not fresh (reheated/refried) for the price they charge on items I definitely expected QUALITY food... Would I go there again??? Probably not my first choice unless I'm really hungry. read more

Jefa Tacos - Proof of purchase - Mexican Near Me - Aurora, Illinois

I'm from California and honestly it's hard to find some great authentic pork tamales in this area. But once I came here I couldn't believe how much nostalgia I got after I tried their pork tamales. Reminded me of my childhood!! It was hot and fresh, dipped the tamales in their red hot sauce and it was the cherry on top. Will be ordering more often from here, such a great place and amazing quality food read more

This place had some really solid tacos, had the Jefe, Asada, and Pastor. Everything tased great, the service was very good, you should try this place. read more

The food was excellent and the service was as well. We have never been there before and will go back. I just wish they had a non alcoholic beer choice but not that many places do. Certainly wouldn't stop me from going back. read more

Fresh, delicious, and super nice staff. The beans are better than most, and the tacos were all great. Our new favorite lunch place!

Consistently good Mexican food. Service is always great and friendly. I have never dined in, only take out.

Tacos are really good, especially asada tacos and fish tacos. Probably the best tacos around Naperville/Aurora area

Good customer service but the food was so mid. So over priced, I got a burrito dinner and it cold and filled with mostly all topping. Barely any steak inside, I felt like I was eating just a cold cheese and lettuce burrito. I got a taco dinner and I the al pastor taco had a weird taste to the marinade, chorizo taco looked like mystery meat. Guac, salsas, and beverages were the only good things. read more

Shrimp and fish tacos are tasty. Place is clean and staff are friendly. Definitely going back again

My wife and I love this place. It's our go to Mexican restaurant on any given night. Never disappoints

This place is Located on the far North East side of Aurora. You think your in North Aurora but your not. Great location since there are very few Taco joints in this area. This place is very clean and organized. Has a great Mexican feel to it. First I want to say I love that they serve free Chips and Salsa. What's unique is that they serve the Salsa warm. I love this and the flavor is awesome with just a-little spice to get your taste buds going. The rice was better than most Mexican restaurant in Aurora so that's a plus. We went straight to the Specialty Tacos and it was worth it! We had the Jefa tacos...... Wow very different but not disappointed. Skirt Steak, Chorizo, Chihuahua Cheese, Roasted Padilla and there signature dark sauce. You have to try it. My new favorite is their Fish Tacos. Beer battered Tilapia with cabbage slaw, Pico de Gallo and their spicy chipotle mayo. If you Love Fish this will hit your taste buds. Their Pastor tacos are very good nothing special. Finally.......if you Love Horchata this place is it. Out of all the Mexican restaurants I have been to in Aurora this place has it right. read more
