If I were to give El Jefe a rating on drinks only, it would be a five out of five. This place has the vibe, the service, and the goods that transport you right off of Dyckman to a chill Latino and R&B spot to soothe the soul.
We arrived around 3PM and Happy Hour was in full effect. There weren’t many people there—us and an interesting man with a slick back do. This is significant because the guy, usually someone that most would have ignored, received exceptional attention from the bartender. When you show up and chill at the bar, let’s face it, the bartender is more than a sever, this is an underpaid therapist. Let it be noted, she served in this capacity for at least an hour with him and others for the evening. There—the culture is right.
The drinks are a treat in this little corner on the block. I would have never guessed, but they were delicious and beautiful.
I’m glad I wandered in this time but I will be intentional and see this spot next around!

The place has great lighting and great DJs who play a good mix of music. However, there is one waitress named Isabelle who’s rude and disrespectful. She records people dancing and she pushes women apparently. So it makes you a bit uncomfortable to feel like you’re at peace in the place. You don’t want to go dancing somewhere where people are being bullies, can record you having fun and can put their hands on you. Otherwise decent place.

Second time visiting this place; the first time only had drinks now the second time we were able to seat and have some food. The drinks and food were good, the service was attentive the PROBLEM was the bill. They WILL charge you a 20% gratuity but it is more than the “suggested” 20%, plus a credit card surcharge… very dishonest…

Well the two stars are one for the food and one for the place. Food was good and affordable the place is very cool. But I think they are racist, I am Spanish but I came here with a group of 12 people including white and African American and when I said weren’t welcome at all I mean it. The first thing the waiter said “ya come to early” (with a nasty face) when the place opens at 3pm and we entered around 3:45pm. After this she said that we were too many that she will have to deal with different bills (ofcourse you will is your job we are the customer we are paying and probably tipping good) so we decided to make her life better and pay as a whole group and split the bill (we are nice people) but this wasn’t all they were rushing us to leave like we weren’t consuming, they were uvercleaning and taking our plate before we finish it, so disrespectful. We asked them if they want us to leave and after this they calmed down a little bit. The reason why we didn’t left the place was that we came from work with bags, tired we dodnt live around this area and it would going to be too much for us to be going somewhere else. But we definitely not going back to this place and before you good you should think about it.

Terrible experience due to the lack of attention from the bartender. Nasty behavior and terrible vibes from her. Not friendly at all and she made it very obvious she had more preference with males than females. The specific date was Thur, Aug 14th, 2025 at around 11pm. Her behavior was so terrible, we decided to leave after just one drink. Do not recommend this place at all!!! Fix your attitude and learn how to be professional and attentive to your guests.

Restaurant empty and waitress refused to let us sit inside even after buying two pitchers of drinks . Bad costumer service even though the spot is empty !!!

Terrible customer service. Absolutely do not waste your time or money here. I came in specifically because of a promotion they advertised all over their website — a happy hour $6 margarita special. Sounds great, right? Well, apparently not to the staff. When I asked about it, they looked at me like I was speaking another language and flat out refused to honor it. No explanation, no apology, just a smug that’s not available as if I had made it up.
I even pulled up the ad on my phone, showed them their own website, and was told, “We don’t control that.” Excuse me? How do you not control your own website? That’s either blatant false advertising or sheer incompetence maybe both.
To top it off, only the security guard was nice. The bartender and manager were rude.
If I could give zero stars, I would. Never coming back.

My first and last visit here. Bad customer service on behalf of the hostess and bartenders. Myself and a friend came in on a Thursday night that wasn’t too busy. We were told we could only sit at the bar. I asked the hostess a few times if we could sit at a table (which there were plenty) and order food, but she said we had to sit at the bar. We waited for 15 minutes as we watched the bartenders socialize amongst themselves and serve other customers. One bartender made a hand gesture to us as if saying “one moment” but she still didn’t come over and take our order. Meanwhile, we noticed the same hostess seat two women at the table behind us….
I hate to even think this, but it felt racially motivated. The only other black customers were at the corner of the bar and they hadn’t been served either. We decided to leave. In this economy, we work too hard to even attempt to spend money at a place that clearly didn’t want our business. Especially in Dyckman, that has many other options for drinks/food/music.
I suggest that anyone of a darker complexion (even if you speak Spanish…) avoid this place entirely. We went down the block to Room 151 and were treated with the respect we deserve.

Always a vibe when I come here. Good music and drinks. Some of the staff aren’t the most pleasant but for the most part the other staff members are really great.
