We've been dining at El Jefe for years and love bringing our friends. The food is always superb and the staff are so personable. And the house margarita is top notch!

Excellent ambiance, peaceful, friendly staff, great food, not the typical mexican food you would get elsewhere.

Outstanding food and experience. So glad that a random google search after landing in Denver led my husband and I to El Jefe- they were very very busy but the waitstaff was extremely friendly and accommodating- entree portions were very decent! I ordered the pescado tacos and pieces of fish in each taco were larger than my palm and perfectly/lightly crispy. Great flavors. Great drink/marg variations. Churros were a perfect desert. Made me want to live in the neighborhood- very jealous of the people who live in walking distance!

We visited El Jefe regularly for Mexican flavor but more veggie forward than many other options. This outing didn't disappoint.

The food is always so amazing. My husband loves the mole, I had two orders of the shrimp ceviche and the tortilla soup. YUM! (The table shares one) and another person has the quesadilla and I will definitely be ordering that next time, it was very good!

The food was tasty but pricey. Nice atmosphere but too noisy. We went on a Wednesday night at 6:30 and they were out of 5 items on the smallish menu.

Being out of rice as a Mexican restaurant is wild.. Paid $30 for veggies and beans (beans alone were $6 for a tiny serving)… service was good and this is only getting 2 stars bc my partner liked her tacos but overall just felt like a huge waste of money.

I eat at El Jefe about once a month, and it's always great! It's one of the few places in the neighborhood where I've ordered a variety of items on the menu without ever being disappointed. Highly recommend.

Delicious brunch. Got there not too long after opening on a Saturday thinking it would get busy but had the patio to myself for awhile. Service was excellent with multiple people checking up on me. Huevos rancheros was delicious and the bottomless option for drinks was a great deal being mix and match what I wanted to try. Thank yo El Jefe for a great experience!

It was Father's Day when we went so it was a little noisy but that is to be expected. Our server was wonderful and the food was awesome. We will definitely go back!
