Desserts are very tasty and I would ? recommend it ?

Great setting. Friendly and very good service. Food was delicious. Beer and cocktail too! Love life at this place. Definitely place to visit.

2.5 rounded up to 3. The tacos were really dry (both meat and taco). It felt more like a bar than a taco Mexican food joint so just probably won’t be returning.

A moody, romantic, candle lit dining experience with friendly staff, quick service and delicious authentic food. Only complaint was that the portions were pretty small, not the typical overflowing plates you see at other Mexican places. I was barely full after an appetizer, entree, and dessert. They were also a little short on wait staff when I went and so only had bar seats open, but the service was great regardless and the flavors hit on every dish

Amazing! Good food and excellent drinks. Get the queso fresco and yuca fritas!

Subpar and very small portions for very high price. Our group all got dinner and drinks and we all left still hungry! 7 of us decided it was a one-time experience. We are all pretty big foodies as well. Not for us.

Yummy authentic Mexican food! I ordered a red sangria (wow!!) and the sampler appetizer first which was fun to try all the different salsas and dips. Then for the entree I ordered the shrimp tacos– mouth watering. The vibe inside was a little more romantic/moody than I was expecting with dark lighting and more of a candle lit experience. Although I didn’t come here with my significant other, I still enjoyed visiting here with a friend! It was not overly crowded and service was pretty quick which was nice. Would come again!

My son and I pre-,gopher-gamed at Jefe and it worked out well! The atmosphere is charming, romantic and subdued with the candlelight which is a perfect break from the stress of today. Pair that with the intoxicating smell of corn tortillas, a river view, geat service and fabulous Mexican food and you have a a real winner!

I went here for me and my girlfriend's first date two years ago, and we came back for our anniversary at the end of October to celebrate. I contacted Jefe in advance to make a reservation, and Joan went above and beyond to coordinate with me via email, I was able to sit at the exact same table as we did on our first date, and we got a dessert on the house. Made for a very special night. The food was fantastic as always, I highly recommend the enchilada dish and the salsa sampler. Thanks again, I'll be back soon!

A great patio and great location! A fun spot to stop for a good Mexican meal. We sat on the patio and watched the many interesting people and dogs walk by. Very good drinks and beer selection. A few tasty dessert options as well. A very cool seating area inside for cooler weather.
