I actually ordered the street tacos combination from the El Jefe Birria & Tacos food truck on 78th & Hwy 99, across from the Joann's Fabric store. The tacos were so delicious, I didn't need the salsa. For my 3 tacos, I chose birria, pastor, and carne asada. Went well with the rice and beans. Service was good. There were some seats in front of the food truck. But I brought my order home. Definitely try this place, if you haven't done so already. Delicious, authentic Mexican food.

Service was quick and there was covered seating. The price for a burrito was very good. The burrito was gigantic. Lots of rice that was cooked just right and beans. I was adding a lot of salsa to get more flavor out of the burrito. I got the pastor and the flavor wasn't my favorite but still good. I didn't try the birria which I think is what they're best at. I'll be back to try and birria and will update my review then!

We Doordashed from El Jefe for dinner and very much enjoyed our orders. My husband and in-laws got the nachos, which came in generous portions. I got the birria tacos, with cheese added. The tacos came with sides of rice and beans. I especially enjoyed the salsa verde packets.

First time here and food was great! The tacos were flavorful & it was even better with the sauce packets that it came with. We didn't receive 1 item when we ordered for pick up. They forgot the consommé, which was a bummer. Service was okay, not welcoming but all in all, definitely coming back to try other items on the menu :)

First time at the Vancouver Food truck location. Great staff - per usual. However, no tables or seating area to eat food after ordering. The food always hits! I tried the taco plate for the first time and it wasn't too bad. Not pictured: carne asada fries. Highly recommend!!!!!

Stopped in around 11 on a Sunday for lunch. Only a couple of people in line. The line moved quickly. We ended up ordering 2 Mulitas Pastor ($7.50). Once you order and pay, you're given a pager to let you know when your order is ready.Unfortunately, there's no seating set up outside the food cart. I noticed other reviews referred to a couple of tables set up, but nothing was set up during our visit, so we sat in our car and ate. Maybe theft issues?! I'm not sure but since the weather is so nice, it would be ideal to enjoy the food outside.Our order was ready in about 5 minutes. Our food was really good. Ingredients were fresh. I like how they give you packets of their homemade sauces.We enjoyed our first visit, so we'll definitely come back to try other menu items!

This is a popular food truck, there's a big parking lot since it's at the lot of Living Hope Church in Vancouver. There's no seating available unfortunately, but, many people just eat in their cars or open up their car trunks and eat there. I ordered some birria from them along with other items. The staff there was very nice. For the Birria, I ordered the quesataco, el jefe special. I also got a al pastor taco, steak taco, california burrito and a passionfruit agua fresca. I was able to order and the food was ready within 5-10 minutes. They give you a buzzer and ring it when your food is ready. The California burrito was decent. Decent size for less than $10. The fries were crispy and good amount of filling for a burrito.The Al pastor taco is pork and it was fine. Nothing to special for me. When I eat al pastor tacos, I expect smokiness from the meat and a hint of spice. The steak taco was fine too, it had similar looking meat like the Birria.The Birria itself was good. I personally liked the Birria with no cheese on it, then dipped it in the consommé. The quesabirria had a crispy crust and cheese in it with a good amount of Birria. The vampiro and the Birria taco from the el jefe special was good. Highly recommend getting that special so you can get a taste of everything Birria. Overall this place is good.

Man, I tell you what, when I'm home from being on the road I tend to stick my usual feed troughs. But with Javier's in Vancouver burning down I hadn't found that place that was gonna fill the void in my heart. Tonight I tried el hefe's food cart on Andersen.God damn. It was absolutely delicious. The Birria nachos. Top notch. The queso birria, was so filling and tasty, gives the same feeling of wellbeing and serotonin boost as busting a nut.The service was great. Friendly order taker. They have a little device that lets you know when your food is ready so you can wait in your car. But that cook was fast as fuck boi. The food was done quick and in my hands in under 5 minutes. As far as ambiance they have a roof and heaters. So you aren't totally exposed to the elements when you order. Ya gotta give this place a try.
