Carry out Mexican street food located in the urban eats dining hall on Merrimack at Virginia. Counter service some seating available in the dining hall. The street tacos are great, they also have Birria tacos, and corn on the cob. Services is a little slow, but the food is good.

Came to this unassuming place because I was craving Mexican food. I'm from Texas, so I was avoiding getting Mexican food here because I knew I'd be disappointed. However, the cravings finally hit so I caved in. I got the birria burrito here. Lots of seating around, and you pay at counter. It was busy so I think it was about 10-15 minutes for my burrito. The actual burrito itself was surprisingly good. The crisp/gently-fried exterior was very well-contrasted with the soft interior. The rice, beans, and birria were super well-seasoned. The meat was very rich and flavorful. The salsa was tangy enough to cut through some of the richness of the burrito. Not to mention, the entire burrito was very hefty. Only thing I wish was that I got a side of the actual birria consome, but alas, mistakes were made. I was very impressed by this burrito, and I want to come back to actually try birria tacos themselves, with the consome included. But based on how this burrito went, I wouldn't expect anything less than amazing. 5/5 stars, good enough for a little Texas-boy. Will definitely come back.

The Birra tacos are an absolute delight - a taste of tradition passed down through generations. Every bite is crafted with love, making it a must-try experience. I highly recommend indulging in the flavors of Tacos La Jefa - a solid 10/10 in my book!

The food is fresh. A little pricey at $4.50 a taco. I went because of an online food influencer. Not as good he stated, but good. May try other items in the future. Consome was bland in my opinion.

I ordered carryout but had to eat my first bite while everything was hot and fresh. The entire time I ate my first taco in the car I just kept saying “oh my gawd”. The consumme is AMAZING and the birria is so flavorful and tender. The beans are flavorful and the rice is good. The ONLY thing I wasn’t wild about was the fact that the rice is like an instant rice. I also ordered the elote and it was because another review said it was the best. It is absolutely. I drove 30 minutes to get there and it was well worth every mile. Best meal of 2024 so far.

First time here at a neighborhood spot. Been wanting to try for over a year. Finally made it and unfortunately I made the wrong order. Luckily, the woman at the front was so kind enough to help me get it corrected and it was everything I've dreamed of! QUSESABIRRA & A HIBISCUS DRINK IS THE WAY TO GO!

Did you know La Jefa means “the boss” this spot’s story is about a matriarch’s special recipe for birria tacos.Us St. Louis Foodies went to eat at Urban Eats on Meramec. Love this Food Hall. There are many options for all palates and dietary restrictions.Tacos La Jefa is a spot at Urban Eats. Had to stop and get the fish tacos for Fish Friday! The fish tacos were huge. This is not a bad piece of fish. This is a huge piece of fresh fish. It was perfectly fried with pico de gallo, avocado, and freshly made corn tortillas. This spot is no joke on authentic Mexican food.Stop by and give them some love! You'll love Urban Eats!
