" When we first stepped into Los Jefes, we were struck by the decor and ambiance; it felt welcoming and lively. I ordered the flautas, and wow, they were crispy and dipped in a rich sauce that stole the show! My partner enjoyed the quesabirria but felt the meat could have been seasoned a bit more. The staff were friendly and seem to genuinely care about customer satisfaction. Overall, we had a great meal and would both recommend it highly. " (*Curated Review*)

" Los Jefes has become my new go-to for Mexican food! The tortillas were unlike anything I’ve had elsewhere—super fresh and delicious. I tried the carnitas, and they were well-seasoned. The atmosphere was lively, filled with upbeat Mexican music that made our dinner enjoyable. The service was accommodating, even friendly, which added to the experience. I can’t wait to return and explore more of their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Los Jefes was rather disappointing partly because the food took longer than expected to arrive, and when it did, it simply didn’t have the kick I had hoped for. Tacos can be a hit, and some of theirs missed the mark. However, their salsas do have a good base and fresh ingredients, just needed more seasoning. I would revisit down the line to give it another shot but wasn’t entirely wowed this time. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family visited Los Jefes for dinner, and I was delighted by the variety of authentic dishes available. The mole was rich and flavor-packed, and the portions were generous. While the atmosphere created a warm Mexican family vibe, the service left much to be desired. We waited too long for our order, which detracted from our experience. I’d say this place has potential, especially if they can improve their service. Looking forward to a second visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to Los Jefes was a bit of a mixed bag. When I arrived, I had high expectations based on some glowing reviews. While the food was decent, the flavors didn’t quite hit the mark compared to what I consider authentic Mexican cuisine. The ambiance was nice, and the service was reasonable, but the food lacked that 'punch.' I may return, hoping for a better experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" My wife and I enjoyed a lovely dinner at Los Jefes last night! We ordered a variety of items and savored every bite. Everything tasted fresh and was served with a smile. Although we felt a bit rushed, we appreciate the approach of quickly bringing food to the table. The only downside was that the salsa was a bit lacking in quantity. We plan to visit often because the food here is fantastic! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is exactly what I've been looking for in St. Albans! Authentic Mexican food served in a warm, friendly environment. The tamales were amazing, and the horchata was refreshing! I sense the restaurant is still fine-tuning the service side of things, as we did encounter some delays, but the friendly staff made up for it. I'm eager to return and try even more from their menu!
