El Jefe - Jacksonville

Was going to our normal Mexican restaurants on July 4. Both were closed so we ventured down Edgewood Avenue and found El Jefe. I had heard about it, and that it was expensive, however, very good. The menu entrées were about 3 to 4 dollars more than most Mexican restaurants in Jacksonville. The quality of the ingredients was excellent, the portions were a good size, couple of unusual items on the menu, and the food was excellent. Our server Hayden did a fantastic job and made a lot of exceptions to accommodate our order. I highly recommend it.Vegetarian options: I am not vegetarian, so I cannot comment on their dishes.Dietary restrictions: They will try to accommodate any request.

Came in on a friday night, got a shrimp enchilada and my partner got the Chicken verde, the food was just bad for lack of words. Service was great and the girl who did it was super friendly. Unfortunately its hard to overlook the food just tasing bad. Im usually a leftovers lover and didnt even feel compelled to ask for a box. Probably wont be returning.

Mannnnn, how did I not KNOW of this place before now? My wife just stumbled upon it while doing a search; we are always looking for amazing Mexican restaurants. Everything, and I do mean EVER-REE-THANG, was on point, Skippy; they stuck their foot in it, no doubt! We will be loyal and repeat customers for decades!Food: 5/5

I had the most amazing time tonight at El Jefe. Carly was my server and she was so good, attentive , fun , and accurate. I will be going back again. I want to try to every taco on the menu ! Mark is the manager and came by to check on us ! The ultimate in customer service.The bathrooms were so clean I felt guilty using them.

I went to El Jefe last night for the first time….it was amazing! Some of the best Brisket tacos I have ever had! Staff and service was amazing! Can’t wait to go back with my family and try more delicious food from their menu! As an added bonus; they had a Trivia show…so much fun!
