Los Jefes Taqueria

I've been here twice since my first review of this place that placed it as one of my top taco spots in the SJ area. the second time the meat was a little bit less quality, but this time there was a notable drop. Not sure if the business is figuring out which areas they can cut corners in, but the meat has definitely suffered. The asada needs more char and seasoning like it was before.

I've been craving some good Mexican food for awhile, but wanted to try something new. Decided to try and this spot and it was well worth it. Had the beef tongue burrito and man each bite oozed flavor and great taste. Worth every penny and in the end you will feel satisfied. We also had some some tacos, empanada, and a quesadilla. Overall, everything was fantastic, and will come again.

What happened I gassed this place up like crazy and I don't know if it was an off day but dam. My friends and I thought it was definitely pricy for that quality. The meat had no char today and I can visible see that the cuts of meat were worse. (I will update again if it changes but u can see the visual difference in quality in the photos)Even worse our togo orders they skimmed out on the meat like crazy.Staff was still nice.

Los Jefes Taqueria truly went above and beyond for me! I was hosting a party and completely underestimated how much food I needed. With only 30 minutes until closing, I placed a massive order for 50 tacos, not realizing how late it was. Despite the time, the staff was incredibly accommodating and didn't hesitate to take my order. They stayed an hour past closing just to make sure everything was perfect--talk about outstanding customer service!As for the tacos? Absolutely phenomenal. We ordered carne asada, carnitas, birria goat, al pastor, and cabesa (sadly, lengua was sold out). Every bite was bursting with flavor, and the meats were so tender and perfectly seasoned. While everything was delicious, the cabesa was the standout favorite of the night!I can't recommend Los Jefes Taqueria enough. Their dedication to quality food and exceptional service makes them a true gem. I'll definitely be coming back for more!

This place is newer and I think they could definitely use some improvement. The service is very friendly and it feels like you're eating in someone's home. The flautas were good and their salsas are flavorful. Unfortunately, the rice and beans were bland. Additionally, their horchata doesn't have any flavor and is grainy. Still a solid spot to satisfy your craving for Mexican food, will be back to give their tacos a try.

We ordered via doordash. Chicken Regular Taco was below average. It had no flavor!! The taco seemed house made but was very very thick. No natural umami from the chicken.The Small Fresh Salsa (8 Oz) had no flavor profile. It had no tomatoes, no onions or cilantro and tasted like a flavorless hot sauce. They gave extra sauces upon request which was nice but for $60, the food wasn't good. Camarones Empanizado- My husband liked the breaded shrimp but the rice and beans were very average. The portion was disappointing and the tortillas were very very thick. The shrimp Empanada was ok. Cream and shrimps were stuffed inside a thick corn tortilla and deep fried. The filling was nice. On the bright side, the food was packaged well.

I was so excited to finally have a Mexican restaurant in this area. I may have gone in with high expectations. Location: Easy to park and access. A little hidden but sometimes that's better. Service: Prompt as soon as I arrived I was greeted. I needed a minute to see menu. The menu was hard to read on the screen so they gave me the laminated one. They were courteous and easy to engage. Ambiance: Cute, clean and spacious. They have booth seating and a counter with chairs. Great decorations. They have a claw game for kids. There is a nice bathroom that was clean. I ordered for a family of 5. It was not a busy Friday night as it was raining. The food came within 10 minutes as I ordered to go.Food: we all ordered different things. Carne Asada Tacos: nice quantity of items. Did not like lettuce on tacos. The meat was quite fatty and not much flavor. The tortilla texture was perfect but flavor less. It would be good with more salt, oil or butter.Fish tacos: Perfect amount of meat and very fresh. Love the fresh avocados. AmazingNachos: yummy, chips perfect and great amount of avocados. Would recommend chicken instead of carne asada. Chicken Mole Burrito: Perfect!!!! So tasty, meaty and quantity. Will be ordering on a regular. My whole family had a bite and loved. Birria: just ok (my son is a teen so not much more info)They did forget my horchata so I was sad I didn't get to try it. I will be back. I hope they add more flavor and continue to make the yummy burritos. I would recommend some specialty drinks like margaritas or bar drinks.The price was about $100 so a bit pricy.

Located where the half penny fish chips restaurant used to be. This hidden gem is so good. It will be our new go to place for Mexican food. I've gotten the super sope and regular tacos, both were delicious. For the sope the masa base is perfect and the filling is just the right amount. For the tacos the tortilla freshly made so it makes the tacos taste way better. Service was efficient and the inside is very open and clean. Definitely a place to try out

The service is excellent, the food not so much. Now open in the old Half Penny Fish and Grill space, this taqueria is sparkling clean, comfortable, and welcoming. Lured here by the high ratings on Yelp, I arrived Saturday night hoping to find a new place to get a carnitas fix. Well, the ingredients were fresh, and the plates nicely presented, the execution and flavors just weren't there, and my bestie and I left disappointed. But please feel free to check it out yourself as YMMV. I may be back to check out if the breakfast items are where they shine,

My new favorite Mexican restaurant it's really nice because there's not too many in that area. It's hidden in the back but they have the best tacos ever. I can't wait to try the rest of the food friendly people working there. It's kind of like hiding behind Wells Fargo bank we're half penny used to be plus it's really nice inside compared to the last restaurant was there it was old but now it's all brand new*
