Went to jefes after work last night with a group of about 10 coworkers.

We ordered a whole bunch of share plates and tacos for the table. Unfortunately the kitchen was out of some of things we wanted. Our server Mitch made some fantastic replacement recommendations and everyone was happy and full.

Mitch also suggested we try the sangria for our large group which was a hit with everyone also

Thanks to El jefe and Mitch for...

Quality of the food was great and the music was live but the service provided by Alex really made it worth trying this place out. Friendly and quick service for sure! I enjoyed the patio even while it was a cold night because they have heaters. Extremely happy to have found this place and I would definitely come again.
