Stars were the chips and guac, the rice and beans, the street tacos, and really everything! Lots of flavor. The iced coffee is also delicious, don't skip the drinks. Lots of options for seating, booths and also freestanding tables. Also very grateful for the changing table in the bathroom. The server was kind and the food came fast once we ordered. We didn't feel rushed and had a very nice time. Thank you!

I devoured my chilaquiles with papas chorizo & diablo salsa which had a good burn and cooled my scalp. The cinnamon coffee is a little sweeter than I like, but I deeply respect how scalding it arrives (like McD's before the stupid lawsuit). Gets loud and lively inside; outdoor seating for two (3 spots). Can't wait to come back and try the pancakes we saw that a lot of people ordered (they looked so fluffy, and since I have a dairy allergy, I can never get them anywhere else)

The tequila options are great if you drink. It is a loud spot though so if you don't like that it's not for you. My favorite server/bartender is Alex and David. I haven't tried much of the other options and when I did I wasn't a fan of the other food and that's coming from a Latina. I do love their chips and salsa and they have great cocktail options. Most bartenders are nice but some are not. I come at least once a week.

Overall, the food and service at El Jefe were sensational and we can't wait to return back to the restaurant.

My order was wrong, I did not want tomatoes but I decided to just not send it back. The service was decent, it was pretty packed so it took a while to order.

I will come back again to try more good off the menu! It's plenty of parking in the lot and it's located in downtown Pomona! -Marshay D.

Taco Tuesday + Cinco de Mayo felt like the perfect excuse to grab tacos before a business meeting…read more We arrived to the area early and wanted something quick, and Tijuana Tacos was perfect for that bc the tacos came out quickly. Parking is limited, so we were happy to snag one of the last spots. This is an order-at-the-counter spot with a salsa bar, hot beans, indoor and outdoor seating, and even Mexican Coke. Indoor seating is also pretty limited, so my friend and I were glad to grab one of the small tables. I ordered the lengua and asada tacos and both were flavorful, tender, and loaded with meat. I was honestly too hungry and eager to take a picture beforehand, but I can assure you the portions are plentiful. The tacos were a little greasy, but still really satisfying. Solid taco spot if you're in Pomona.

There's only a few spots in the plaza, but there is a lot of street parking. It only took about 5 to 10 minutes to get our food, so not a long way at all. There was a fill your own salsa bar and they had free beans. Overall, food was good and price was decent, considering inflation. The salsa weren't extremely spicy and the service was quick. Overall, we will definitely be back again!

After a somewhat disappointing dinner I stopped by this place to try and make up for the…read moredisappointment because let's face it: Spending money on disappointing food sucks. I ordered a wet burrito with beans on the side and my friend ordered 5 tacos. The prices here are very good. I believe my wet burrito was about $11? Tacos were $2 I think. Well, speaking of wet burritos, I can't say if they're good or not because I never got a wet burrito; just a regular one. The lady who took my order got my order wrong and I'm realizing I never got my beans on the side like I asked for. Good news is that the burrito was still good. The salsas were delicious and as I mentioned earlier, the prices here are very fair! I tried some of the consomme and it was probably the best I've ever had so far! Taking a big bite out of my burrito and washing it down with some consomme was so good! I will definitely keep this place in the rotation moving forward! I just need to check my order next time.

The only criticism would be the service. Our server never came back to ask us if we wanted another beer and we had to call over another employee to order take home food and take care of the bill. There was maybe one other table of people there when we left and our original server basically ignored us. Would definitely come back for the food - maybe the server was having a bad day or just figured a couple of ladies wouldn't be interested in having more than 1 beer? Au contraire!

Unfortunately, we did have to wait around 30-40 minutes for the buffet to be ready.. we were served mimosas right away, which was nice. Now.. when it came down to the food, one person in my party did find a vey long hair in her chile relllenos. We made it know to our waitress.. which was a sweet person throughout everything!! Then we were told that the chilaquiles and taco station was now open.. so we headed down to it. There was no one to great us at the station. We stood around for around 10 minutes and no one showed up. So at that moment I grabbed a bowel of menudo. Lucky me!! I also grabbed a long hair in my menudo.. my sister in law thought it was a piece of onion but it was not! It was a very long strand of hair. At that point we all tried our best to make the best of it and enjoy the mariachi and mimosas. Then when I returned to the taco/chilaquile station the lady was very rude!! She bluntly asked what we wanted instead of telling us our options.. and I said I'll have 2 chorizo tacos please.. she said where's your plate?? I wasn't aware that I had to give her a plate to serve me. It was an overall horrible experience. Especially because we were literally the only party in the entire place besides the mariachi. The mariachi and our server were the only pleasant people that morning. I will never be returning.

From the moment we walked in, the staff was super welcoming and took the time to walk us through the menu and their specialties, which made ordering a lot easier. The shrimp tacos were a pleasant surprise--not your typical style. They're fried and topped with a flavorful sauce that really sets them apart. Solid choice if you want something a little different. The real star of the show was the Poseidon botana aguachiles. We were originally deciding between the Poseidon and the mixta, but they mentioned they could make the botana a Poseidon style, and that's what we went with. Absolutely delicious--super fresh and packed with flavor. Highly recommend this dish. We also tried the tostada de pescado (size small), which was probably my least favorite. It wasn't bad, just didn't stand out compared to everything else. I'd personally skip it next time. One thing to note--there's a small parking lot that was more full than expected given how many people were inside. It seems like it might be shared with nearby businesses, so just keep that in mind. Overall, great experience, great food, and I'd definitely come back to try more from the menu.
