The corn tortillas are very crispy and greasy, as expected, and the meat was very tender and cheesy. I enjoy the array of sauces and toppings that are brought out with the tacos.

It's Pearland so parking won't be a problem. After perusing the menu, I couldn't say no to the pizzadilla. I'll be back to that in the moment. Service (4.5/5): Pretty much what you hope for. A seamless ordering experience, the food was ready when promised, and no issues arose. One thing I like is that they go above and beyond in providing you with extra limes, and a generous heap of onions, cilantro, and veggies. Ambiance (3/5): Pretty much a standard small Mexican taco joint. Nothing to write home about. Drinks (4.5/5): I love agua frescas and they have them here with 3-4 flavors to choose from. I went with a large pepino (cucumber) agua fresca. Delicious and refreshing. Food (3/5): This is interesting. The pizzadilla sounded amazing. Think of it as a huge quesadilla of sorts, served in a pizza box You can choose your meat. Naturally, I went with the birria which is served with a generous portion of consome. All sounds good, right? Here's where things fell apart. The quesadilla had an overwhelming amount of cheese and an underwhelming amount of birria meat. This is coming from a guy who absolutely loves cheese and feels like it makes anything better. I think this is the first time in my life I'm saying otherwise. There was so much cheese that it overpowered the dish and you could barely taste the birria. Which shouldn't be the case as the meat is the star of the show. Maybe the kitchen made a mistake. Or maybe their ratio is highly off on this dish. Either way, disappointing as I thought this spot would crush it.

I recently had my first visit to El Jefe, in Webster, Texas. I was primarily looking through yelp…read morefor a good restaurant that served Tex-Mex, and this was the first restaurant that popped up in my area with an "excellent" rating. As I write this review, this restaurant currently has a rating of 4.6 stars with 120 reviews. Before coming, I also reviewed several pictures that other folks have posted on yelp, and I thought I'd give this place a try. After driving by the front of the restaurant and pulling into the parking lot, I started to have second thoughts about coming here. From the outside, it certainly did not appear to be a location worthy of an excellent rating on yelp. Still, I trusted the yelp community, and I decided to come inside. Boy, the yelp community was right on this one! This is one of those restaurants that is excellent, but you wouldn't know it unless you gave it a try. Immediately after entering, I decided to take a seat at one of their tables in a corner. Just after sitting down, a gentleman came over and delivered some fresh chips and two kinds of salsa. My waitress came over shortly thereafter and introduced herself. Her name was Marcella (sp?). She was friendly and professional throughout my experience here, and she was patient with me in explaining some of the items on their menu. After reviewing their menu and eating a bunch of their chips and salsa (which are ridiculously good), I decided what I wanted. I ordered the "Quesabirria w/Consome," with beef, which are 4 birria and cheese tacos, served with onion, cilantro, pickled onion, radish, and special spicy salsa. I ordered a Coca-Cola along with my dinner order. I definitely made the right choice for my meal. They were generous in filling my tacos with a bunch of shredded beef, and they were amazingly good. My soda was refreshing as well. In my opinion, this is a better place for authentic Mexican food rather than Americanized Mexican food. After my meal, my waitress said that she is giving me some of their dessert for free since this was my first time here. She was very kind, and an excellent waitress. Overall, I did have an excellent experience here, just as so many others have had. This was a reminder for me that sometimes I need to just trust the yelp community, and most often a high yelp rating is high for a valid reason. If you're in the area, you should give this place a try.

My wife got Combination #2 (Beef fajita taco, Cheese Enchilada, rice and beans). All of the food tasted great and reminded us of the Mexican food from Southern California. The staff is super friendly and the dining room feels very "Mom and Pop." I think they had a dance floor on the other side of the bar. We didn't check. The parking lot is very rough but don't let that scare you off. Come for a great authentic Mexican meal.

Then they would raise the volume and lower. Raise and lower. It was mind bending. We should have eaten outside. The outside chairs have backs. The inside seating are backless stools. On to the food. Their guacamole was top notch. Loved their crispy blue corn chips. They have this tator tot side which is really unique and I'd order it again. I had the French dip taco and the pork Birra taco. The sauce was fantastic and full of flavor. I would order either one of those tacos again. I completely forgot about taking review photos. Honestly all their tacos seem appealing. Much better than our Torchy's location across the street. Don't come at me as I like Torchy's. I simply find this local location far from the Torchy's expectation. Velvet Taco, however, is good. Gave only 3 stars for kitchen staff blaring their music over the restaurant's cool music.

Service is always great and attentive, and the food is consistently fresh and delicious. We usually order the street tacos, but our family has tried a variety of items off the menu and everything has been excellent. The green salsa deserves a special shoutout -- it's spicy in the best way and keeps you coming back for more. We already know we'll be ending our December cruise here, and we can't wait.

Everything in my previous review stands, but I will add this time around that the cheese enchiladas here might be the bet I have had in the greater Houston area. They are wrapped in firm, uber-thin corn tortillas and almost overstuffed with real cheese. The chicken mole enchiladas also get there. No two moles are alike, and this can best be described as rich and (spicy) warm with a slight hint of sweet. Delicious indeed.
