Located in the Astro Center next to Meadowood on Kirkwood Highway, it can be a bit hard to find due to a small sign, but it’s situated between a nail salon and a liquor store. The menu features standout items like roasted chicken tacos and rice, which are praised for their unique taste and fluffy texture. The food is made fresh, and many guests appreciate the consistent quality over the years. The drinks, especially the house Margaritas and Spicy Margherita's, are often described as great and served cold. Service is friendly and capable, with staff providing helpful answers to questions. Visitors also enjoy the inviting atmosphere, with some mentioning that their children liked the food too. Desserts like fried ice cream are a popular finish to the meal. Overall, El Jefe offers outstanding flavor, good service, and big drinks, making it a favorite for many who seek authentic Mexican cuisine.
