Good food, just missing some heat for me. The enchiladas sauce was good, just not smoky tasting, which is the way I like. Salsa was a nice smooth consistency. Will be back to try other items.

We recently ordered takeout from this family-owned Mexican restaurant, and everything was excellent! We got chicken and carne asada tacos along with the chile relleno plate (served with rice and beans) and birria tacos. The tacos were a standout, packed with meat, perfectly seasoned, and cooked just right. We asked for avocado on them, and they were very generous with it, which was a nice surprise. The salsas were incredible, definitely homemade, super flavorful, and they didn’t skimp on the portions. Birria tacos were spot on.
The chile relleno was also delicious, with a rich flavor and plenty of gooey cheese inside. Rice and beans complemented it perfectly. Prices are very fair for the quality and portion sizes.
The restaurant itself was clean, and the staff was friendly when we picked up our order. My husband noticed they have a bar inside, which is a nice bonus for dining in. He did mention it would be great to have a few more TVs for soccer games, but that’s more of a future wish than a complaint.
Overall, this is the kind of spot that makes you glad to support a local business. Great food, welcoming atmosphere, and reasonable prices. We’ll definitely be coming back to dine in soon. Highly recommend this taco shop to anyone looking for authentic, flavorful Mexican food in town!

We were sat immediately, chips and salsa on table within 1 minute of being seated..
The steak and chorizo burrito was huge. It came out hot, fresh ingredients. Had to take half home. My wife got the burrito bowl… it was amazing. The sauces were so freaking good. 10/10

Checked out this new restaurant last weekend during their soft opening. I can honestly say, we will be returning. Their servers were very kind and very quick to help us out when we needed it. This was their soft opening, so of course they were jam packed and busy. We were more than happy to be patient as they had just opened. Give them some grace. It was totally worth it, let me tell you. I got the quesabirrias, queso, and guac as well. All delicious and you can tell, all homemade. Overall great experience and cannot wait to eat here again, especially when they’re fully opened.

SO GOOD!! As soon as I opened the door the smell of fabuloso and clean literally hits your face. The service is quick and the people are kind! The food was amazing and had great taste and was a big portion. Would definitely eat here again (my fav mexican restaurant now) and definitely recommend!! 10/10!

VERY DISAPPOINTED – I was really looking forward to trying this new restaurant but what a big let down.
We ordered 6 tacos, 2 each of 3 varieties. Hubby went inside to pick them up because the drive through was blocked off and not open. He brought the order home and 2 of the tacos were missing. Hubby packed everything back up and had to drive back to the restaurant. He informed them that 2 tacos were missing and by now the other tacos were cold so he requested that the staff remake them. (They didn’t) He mentioned that the manager was scrambling around the place like he didn’t know what to do first. After they handed back the order with all of our tacos now (the others were cold but we took them anyway ) my hubby suggested that everyone in the place slow down, take a breath, and focus on the tasks and getting orders correct.
After we got the correct order home we realized they didn’t put any of the sauces back in the bag, so no sauce.
The food was cold and we were disappointed with the quality. Also, the tacos were only half full of the fillings. (See pic)
Sorry to say, this experience was not as expected, not acceptable, very inconvenient, and we won’t be back.

We we’re really looking forward to trying this new restaurant. We love Mexican food and travel throughout Rockford to get authentic Mexican food. Unfortunately, the food wasn’t quite on par as we would have hoped. I understand they’re new and they’re working things out, but simple carne asada should be done well and it was at best mediocre. The prices are slightly inflated with the tacos. There is a large selection of meats, however, including some cured meats that I had never had at a restaurant. The queso dip seemed like it come from a jar, as well as the salsa. The shrimp taco and chorizo taco were okay.i think they are still figuring things out. So, I’ll give it another try later. It has potential.

Tacos El Jefe is a great restaurant and the food was amazing. I ordered the Pechuga A La Parilla and the chicken was cooked perfectly and the meal had flavor. The atmosphere of the restaurant was great and the owner is very kind and accommodating. Great quality of food and even better company I will be coming back for more great food.

Insanely good Mexican spot. This area is a desert when it comes to good Mexican food and Tacos El Jefe is an oasis. Burritos are packed with meat, everything is super flavorful. Prices are very fair in correlation to their portions. We’ll be ordering here pretty consistently going forward. Also, the salsas a perfect. Don’t change a thing.

Excellent food, fresh and a lot of flavor. We have tried the tostada (fav!), quesabirria, tacos, and more and we have loved it all. We visited twice in one weekend it was so good!
