El Jefe Taco - Lowell

This restaurant is lively and stylish, featuring trendy decor that adds to its appeal. The open seating arrangement creates a welcoming atmosphere. The food is flavorful and served in generous portions. The staff is friendly and attentive. While the music is loud, it contributes to the overall vibe of the place. I highly recommend it for a night out!

The food was delicious, served hot and fresh. The restaurant's decor was charming, and both the indoor and outdoor seating areas were pleasant. However, the overall waiting time for drinks, appetizers, and food, as well as check-ins from our server, was quite disappointing. If it hadn't been for Jonathan, who noticed our wait and came over to check on us, we would have waited even longer. Thank you, Jonathan! You deserve 5 stars, but unfortunately, not the actual server. The waiting experience was a significant downside this time.

I ordered takeout and was taken aback by what I received. The tacos were small and overpriced compared to other local restaurants. I also ordered the Mexican street corn, but what I got was completely different—fried corn balls topped with cotija cheese instead of the traditional elote I was expecting. If the corn balls had been tasty, it might have been a different story, but the flavor was just not right. Had there been a clear description of the dish, I definitely wouldn’t have ordered it. I had heard from other students to steer clear of this place, and unfortunately, they were spot on.

The cocktails were robust, and the food was exceptional. It's a great place that took some time to get up and running, but it seems the wait was definitely worthwhile. The nachos were out of this world and perfect for sharing.

I had a mushroom-shaped letter opener on my keychain that carries a lot of sentimental value for me. When I arrived at the venue, the female bouncer told me I couldn't bring it inside. I asked if I could hand it to her and retrieve it at the end of the night, and she agreed, placing it in her pocket. However, at the end of the night when I requested it back, she flatly refused to return it to me. Not only did she break her promise, but she also took my property and laughed in my face when I expressed my frustration. This item is irreplaceable, and I really want it back since it means so much to me.
