I used to live in Phoenix, and I tried this place for the first time literally the same week I was…read moremoving to Denver. Out of all the restaurants I had before leaving Arizona, THIS ended up being one of the places I couldn't stop thinking about after I moved away. Ever since leaving, I've randomly craved these tacos constantly. I've tried other taco spots in Denver hoping something would compare, but honestly nothing really hit the same. So when I came back out to Phoenix recently to visit some friends, this was one of the first places I knew I needed to come back to because I had built it up so much in my head over time. And somehow... it was just as good again. The meat tastes incredibly fresh, flavorful, and well-seasoned, and you can literally watch them prepare everything right in front of you, which makes the whole experience even better. There's something so satisfying about seeing the tacos being made fresh instead of food just appearing from the kitchen. You can tell they care about quality and consistency. The servers were also super friendly and welcoming both times I came here, which honestly makes such a difference. Everyone had great energy, the service was quick, and the whole place just feels inviting and authentic. I honestly think the fact that I remembered this place so vividly for so long says everything. Usually when you revisit a restaurant after hyping it up in your head for years, it ends up disappointing you. But this place tasted exactly how I remembered it, fresh, flavorful, comforting, and absolutely worth the obsession. Safe to say this place is officially a mandatory stop for me anytime I'm back in Phoenix now.

This was a pretty small taco spot. They're open daily…read more10am-10pm, except Fri & Sat - 10pm-1am Parking was a bit difficult since it's located next to a few other businesses, as well as Dutch Bros. Inside was fairly small but had a decent amount of seating Menu was not too big and had a good variety of quesadillas, burritos, vampiros, tacos, platos, and sides! Pricing was reasonable and most items were $12 and under. Tacos were $3.79 and there were 6 options! Service was ok since you just up to the counter to order and sit down kind of place. The complimentary salsa bar was pretty nice and had plenty of options - pico de gallo, lemon, salsa, cilantro, etc. Got asada tacos ($3.79 each) and it packed with meat! The meat was very flavorful but a little dry. The tortilla was ok but seemed a little dry and not too fresh. The green salsa and pico de gallo was very fresh and delicious! Overall, the tacos were decent but well worth the price so this was 7.5/10 Not sure if I'll return but it's a good first time experience for reasonably priced tacos!

We went to here as they were one of the late night spots still open. *This along with a hibiscus drink (large) and a cola! Approximately 50$. * Service was simple, kind, order at the register- type of spot.

I've been ordering from El Jefe in Tempe for the last 4 to 5 years as we live fairly close. We love…read morethe tacos especially with doing the family meal for street tacos! The meats are so good. We also use to love the sushi side. During Covid, we tried the sushi for the first time. We were hesitant as it's a Mexican joint, right? Not a Japanese specialty shop. So to my surprise, I couldn't believe the sushi especially the Las Vegas roll and their Nigiri cuts were pretty dang good. My disappointment seems to be this last year with the sushi just hasn't been the best or fresh tasting. The Las Vegas roll was always nice and warm but with an awesome cold center and fried to perfection and the sauce just right. Lately it's been the opposite. Super over fried were all you can taste is old burnt oil and it dried out and the sauce just bland and not helping at all. The other thing that bothers us is the lack of wasabi they give! If you're not going to give us full flavor, at least give more wasabi to help mask. I will say they give you plenty of soy sauce packets (just barely any wasabi).

I picked this place because it looked more like a local business and not a chain. The food was excellent and fast: I got 3 tacos (they were on the smaller side but ok for what I needed) and beans/rice (not too much) and refillable soda drink for a moderate price in today's world. The bathroom was clean and the service was polite and efficient. They have a condiment/salsa bar to help yourself which is generous. There were just a couple technical issues that didn't impact the product: half the screen was out for the projected menu, the ice was mostly empty (got one cube out after a minute). Nice place to stop at while doing mega shopping at the stores around, or charging your EV

The service was friendly and quick. I ordered a taco plate (w/ rice and beans) with 3 different tacos (al pastor, pollo and cabeza). They have a Pepsi fountain so I skipped a drink and had water. I looked around at all the decorations and flair in the building...quite unique! My plate came out quick and looked pretty, especially with the radish garnish. However, nothing on the plate wowed me. The tacos, rice and beans were all quite bland. The meats just didn't have the flavors I was expecting. Nothing was bad...but just not a place I see myself coming back to.

We ordered 2 different types of burritos (Cali and chile relleno) and a carnita taco/ birria taco and asada taco. The food was just ok. The meat had no flavor at all. The birria taco is supposed to be crunchy and it was soggy. It just was pretty mediocre tasting and I really wanted to like it. Personally the best part was the crepe that was served at bread and honey

Service was so friendly and welcoming! Pricing was very reasonably priced and the portions are so generous. Inside was spacious and had plenty of seating. The Quesabirria ($3.99) was so delicious! It was stuffed with tender and juicy shredded beef! It was packed with flavor and the dipping sauce was so good! The taco was so cheesy and fresh! Definitely a must get! Horchata ($4.64) was good and refreshing. It had lots of cinnamon on the bottom so definitely needed a good stir prior to drinking. It was very sweet but definitely one of the better Horchatas I've had since it didn't taste artificial. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience and would definitely return and recommend!

There was a line when we got there but the food came so fast a little after we got a table. They have drive thru too. Ambiance was great. Seats are limited and they have outdoor options. They played Mexican music which adds to the authenticity. Saw reviews that parking is limited but we got lucky, they're were still a few open spots when we came. Overall, would recommend and will come back

And the soda machine was out of two different flavors. Busy. I had to sit in the middle of the isle kind of because seating is 4 to a table. Doors were open, it was FREEZING. I love a good taco but I was disappointed. My sister tried a meal that was stomach(?) also and she wasn't a fan, a bit overcooked. $12 for 3 tacos or like $15 for a drink too (but two of the flavors were out so...) Music was okay but so loud we couldn't hear our order being called out or kind of each other. Won't try again
