About Jefe's Tacos

Jefe's Tacos is a small, casual Mexican restaurant located in a plaza in Lake Forest. The restaurant offers a limited menu of tacos, bowls, and a few other Americanized Mexican dishes. While the food is generally decent, with tasty salsa and guacamole, some customers have found the dishes to be lacking in flavor and the portions to be small, particularly for the relatively high prices.

The restaurant's decor is simple but clean, with a chalkboard menu and a small indoor seating area, as well as some outdoor seating. Service can be slow, and the restaurant has been known to occasionally get orders wrong, though they are quick to fix any mistakes.

Jefe's Tacos has recently opened a second location in Lake Bluff with expanded hours and a larger menu, which may provide a better overall dining experience. However, the original Lake Forest location remains a basic, affordable option for a quick Mexican meal, particularly during the limited lunch hours.
