Quiet little spot. Came in around 4pm to get some burritos and tacos for a late lunch. No one else was here. Staff was super nice and helpful. I'm excited to try a burrito with American Cheese although I'm hesitant about it. Also got 1 of each of the street tacos to try. No alcohol. They have tables inside and a little outdoor patio as well. Pepsi products. The street tacos were $2ea today for taco Tuesday . Love them. 2 bites perfect for a snack or if you're not too hungry. But the burrito is a better bet if you're hungry. Their red sauce is definitely hot I'll stick with the green!! They were not as cheesy as I like could barely see the cheese. So lost a star for that. Good portion of rice not enough meat in my opinion. Flavors were well balanced not spicy the spice comes from the sauce.

Inside of the burrito. Yes, that's cheese slices

I really wanted to like this place, but my hunt continues for a goo chicken burrito. I just want grilled white meat, cheese, pico & sour cream. I ordered pick up for lunch. I ordered the chicken burrito with no lettuce or beans and add sour cream, and chips & pico. The restaurant was clean. The person behind the counter was friendly and nice. That's where the good ended. I got back to work & took a bite of my burrito to discover I received a chicken burrito with lettuce and no sour cream that I paid extra for. I don't like Lett in my burrito. The rice was mushy, what small chicken pieces there were in the burrito had no flavor. The American cheese is not shredded, it's a couple of small pieces of sliced cheese. I tried to eat it, but after a couple of bites I couldn't. It was the nastiest burrito I've ever had. The chips that were too hard to eat were good. My hunt continues. This was not the place!

Decided to check the spot out after seeing it on Instagram ! Felt like this experience could've been better. The food itself was fine, but I feel like the temperature of the food was very room Temp wasn't bad, but I felt like it could've been hotter Inside was very clean and the service was good Overall 6/10

The food is very tasty...but a little overpriced! We ordered the carne asada tacos and birria taco meal. Each came with three street tacos and the carne asada came with sides while the birria only came with the soup. The three birria taco meal came out to around $18. Music plays very loud so it is a bit hard to sit down and hold a conversation. We appreciated that it was open later (closed at 11 pm). I went to use the bathroom and the toilet had a couple of stains on it. While the food was SO delicious, I'm not sure if the value is worth the price.

Ordered delivery for this place twice and the tacos are great! They're small street tacos so just remember that when ordering you may need more than usual to fill up. The sauces that come with the tacos are spicy but delicious!

What a surprise! This place was super authentic and tasty. We stopped in because Birria Ramen sounded amazing with this colder weather and it was actually delicious! I saw they also had vampiros and Jugos Naturales so we got a Jamaica Juice. So good! The device was great and the cashier helped us to choose some of the most popular items. It was not too busy but we came at an off time. They also have keto (cheese) tacos and healthier options. It was quiet and it was great for a quick bite! They were so well priced and efficient and the ramen was suuuuper spicy in the best way! The bowl was massive. Definitely will be back!

From the  to the taco spot!

They had a two for one burrito special but the burritos had almost no meat in them. It was all basically rice and beans for 15 bucks.

They got rid of Vampiro's, the best thing on the menu. If they bring them back I'll make this 5 stars.

Food was exceptionally flavorful and seasoned well. We ordered the ramen, tacos, and the Phoenix…read moreroll. 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. Ambiance wasn't busy for a Sunday night but the vibes were there, and I can imagine they get busy and can handle a lot with the seating options they have.

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).

Best hole in the wall restaurant for quesabirrias!…read more They're open daily except Mondays - Tues-Thurs - 9am-9pm - Fri & Sat - 9am-10pm - Sun - 9am-8pm Parking was easy since the parking lot is pretty spacious and it isn't shared with too many other businesses. 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!

Such a great Mexican place! I would recommend this place extremely highly!…read more Food: I got the chicken quesadilla which was probably the best flavored quesadilla I've had in a while. They give you bottles of source to use which I loved. We also got the quesabarilla which is beef based, so I didn't have any. But my friends review was 10/10 in terms of flavors Drinks: horchata was really sweet for me. But the drinks are substantial so I'd recommend getting 1 to share Service: good service! Ambience: no frills space! There is ample seating which was great!
