" I had the huaraches there once, and they were delicious! The masa was perfectly cooked, but the barbacoa needed a tad more seasoning. My dining experience was pleasant, but I've had mixed service levels in my visits. I think Jefes is worth giving more visits! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had the best meal at Jefes. Everything was fresh, the carnitas were tender and perfectly seasoned. Plus, they have one of the best horchatas I’ve tasted! I love that they have various salsas at the bar, giving you the freedom to customize your tacos. The ambiance is simple but charming. A must-visit if you're in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a nice family dinner at Jefes recently, and we were impressed! The tacos were loaded with ingredients, and the flavors resonated with authenticity.

" The breakfast tacos at Jefes have become famous among my friends and family! The portion is generous, the eggs are fluffy, and the tortillas are fresh. It's a go-to spot for quick breakfasts before heading out for the day. The only downside is the limited parking. Otherwise, I can't recommend it enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was on the lookout for a good place to grab breakfast tacos and stumbled upon Jefes right next to the gas station. I tried their breakfast burrito, and it was enormous and so tasty! The service was attentive, and I loved the fresh salsas available. The only thing that put me off a little was the noise level from nearby traffic, but the food certainly made up for it. I’ll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)
