Seems like a new build location, full bar, friendly staff and willing to help with all dining needs, clean.As for food, it's average, no wow factor in taste or presentation. Seems to be on low salt side to the point that it's affecting taste, I can clearly see the effort put towards proper spice use "I don't judge food taste from fajitas but rather from more complex dishes" so could use more improvement in that section.Over all its a decent place to eat would rate 3.5 for taste and around 4 for everything else.

Oh my gosh this place is SOOOO GOOOOD!!! I moved here from Texas and I have not been able to find anything decent for a looong time. Finally, 2 Jefes opened and it's not just legit, it tastes like home. ? ❤ I can't eat anywhere else for Mexican. And good service! They accidentally gave me cheese instead of a chicken enchilada and they brought it so quickly. Bonus! The staff and owner are super friendly and gracious. Went back another night and got the fajitas. Portion was a bit small, but best tasting fajitas I've had in years, including in Texas. You won't be disappointed. Enjoy~~

Update: went back a week later because why not? Ambiance and staff was still great. Tried the carne asada fijitas and tacos this time. Food: Carne asada fajita and tacos - appetizing. Drinks: Frozen pineapple margarita and regular margarita on the rocks: mouth watering. Tried dessert this time around: coconut flan - MIND BLOWING!!!!!!Finally got to check out this place after a month of being open. Had a fantastic dinner here. The food is so fresh and delicious and best of all, it tastes home made. The drinks were very good and the staff was amazing. The ambiance is also very warm and welcoming. They will ne opening up their patio once it warms up and it's going to be a hit. Can't wait to go back! Hope everything stays the same. Highly recommended.

Great bright clean welcoming atmosphere. Manager Jose and staff very friendly.Food and drinks were tasty! Jose even let us preview the under construction cool outside eating back patio. I dig this much needed Huntington neighborhood dining experience...waiting 2 covid years for them to officially open....happened to be my birthday also to celebrate.

First off, I would just like to say I’m from California where Tex-mex cuisine is a staple of Cali culture. Anyway I decided to go to Washington DC for my 27th birthday And my very first stop after finding my airbnb was this place to eat, and if I might say, this place is above and beyond the sweetest, most professional, and caring and place on the east coast Carolina is super throughout. But that of course still doesn’t compare to the amazing meal I had. Price doesn’t matter to me but I only paid $37.00 and it’s a ton of food. You want a taste of the west coast. This is 95% the place to go.Sidebar: they sang happy birthday to me

Excellent hidden gem in Huntington. Freshly prepared from scratch. Chunky tasty salsa. Huge margarita selection. Attentive and friendly staff. Large portions. Amazing sauces.

Great service, great food. Not just another generic Tex mex place, the flavors are rich. Got the carnitas fajitas. Will be back again

In the first month of being open, so I'm sure this place will continue to grow and improve with time. Solid tex-mex with decent drinks. We ordered various large margaritas and they were nice. Chimichanga comes lightly fried, which is a little unusual, and only ok. We'll be back to try other dishes!Second visit: Brunch! The steak marinade is just like my dad's, so good! Mimosas were perfectly balanced, not too much juice. When we were there, someone ordered the fajitas. They looked, smelled, and SOUNDED amazing. Will be what we try next time, for sure.

My wife got the fajitas and I got several soft tacos with steak. We both were quite happy with the taste of the food. We were expecting average food that we typically get but this was quite good. We will come back.

delicious food and definitely great service .
