We came here for a mid day ride food and drink fix. We wanted to vary it up from the on mountain dining experiences we had the past couple of days.
My experience here was great. It was a sunny beautiful cool day so we were able to enjoy our food outside.
Heads up – it is a counter order service vs a personal waiter. Although it was very busy I feel the line went at a decent speed. Maybe grab a drink from the shorter drink line first and enjoy as you wait in the food line.
Carne Asada Burrito – the trick on this is to ask them to coat it with queso. The carne asada was nice and tender. The ratio of meat to other fillings was perfect heavy on the meat side. The queso was flavorful and I think a must for this dish.
Spicy del Mar Cajun Shrimp Taco – mmm mmm good. The shrimp tasted fresh and the spicy aioli was a nice flavor with a kick here and there.
Taco Al Pastor – meat was tender and the pineapple looked like fresh pineapple pieces.
Caribbean Bowl Salad – not much chicken but the pieces were crunchy. This was a bit more heavy on the lettuce than toppings.
Churro – genius to have this as a donut. This was straight up a churro that was shaped like a donut – not a donut that was flavored like a churro. It was nice and crisp and crunchy and flakey and buttery all at the same time. The whipped cream seemed freshly made. It was not sweet, so it was perfect to counter the sweetness of the churro.
The only thing would be portion size to cost ratio felt a bit off. For sure would have expected a larger portion for the price. But honestly El Jefe had good food compared to the same price as say the overpriced average hamburger from the actual Angel Fire Resort cafes.

Food was great! Service was good. A little pricey, but I think that’s common for resort towns. We had the California Burrito, the veggie burrito, and an assortment of tacos. Everything was good and we would def come back, just without our kids…

No flying piggy, sad. One taco $9! Ouch.
Sorry don’t know what the food tastes like. Closing time gotta go.
Ok, gave this place a second chance to redeem themselves. I ordered the Caribbean bowl, and it was pretty darn good. I loved the way the flavors just complimented each other. The staff is very friendly. Good drinks.

El Jefe is walking distance from our condo, which was its biggest draw. The friendly staff took our order, and the food was delivered promptly to our table. To me, the food was pretty much as expected, not disappointing but also not outstanding in any way. Older menus I saw online had more children’s menu options than I saw today, so I contributed the 8/01/2025 menu with this review.

Busy afternoon with a line out the door, but we had food ordered and drinks in hand in minutes. Only waited 10 minutes for food delivered to our table. Enrique was engaging and a great host. Will continue to come back, it’s a great place on the slopes for tacos and margaritas!

have tried this place year after year due to convenience and location – sad to say third time was the final straw. waited over an hour for 2 quesadillas and a taco. the family before us never got their food as the “ticket got lost”. pathetic for a restaurant by the mountain.

About 2 years ago, we ordered queso and tacos here and they were really good! Prices are high, but it’s to be expected in the mountains and at least they were good so it was worth it. Today, we ordered just chips and queso and were incredibly disappointed. I fully support setting your prices at whatever you think you’re food should be valued at and we were happy to pay it, but we’re shocked when we saw that the queso portion was extremely small. A few years ago, the portion was much larger and probably for a similar price, if not less. I wouldn’t have minded paying for it had they at least included the size you were paying for on the menu. On top of that, it was barely lukewarm so we had to reheat it when we got home.

Please please being back your old menu! We were there a couple of weeks ago and all the yummy selections were gone ! Our favorite Taco salad, etc. Also, let your bar tenders custom mix the large serving of margaritas again.

Varied menu, good drink options, and plenty of seating. Pricing is consistent for an on-mountain restaurant. Also, after the COVID restrictions, they only have 2 tables available inside. Kind of a tough situation…

I ate up two delicious al pastor tacos from here last night, which I picked up and brought back to my Airbnb. And my wife ordered her new mexican-self some New Mexico style chili cheese fries with shredded chicken. It was an absolute mess, but super delicious. She also ordered some New Mexican green chile stew, which was nice.
