El Jefe's Taqueria - Harvard Square

I ate a Bowl and it was suuuuper delicious! You can choose from a wide variety of ingredients! The portion is very big and at an affordable price. Workers very friendly and patiently.

Walked in to pick up my order and immediately started coughing and wheezing from strong cleaning chemical fumes. It was overwhelming to the point I felt like I might get a bloody nose. Using harsh chemicals in open areas during operating hours, with food nearby, is extremely concerning and feels unsafe. The conditions came across as unsanitary and potentially hazardous to customers. This needs to be addressed before someone gets seriously sick from either contamination or chemical exposure. Never again!!!

Que ambiente tan sabroso! Super friendly workers and delicious food. My girlfriend and I felt like we were back at home — they played some amazing music from our country Colombia and we couldn’t resist dancing. Would have never imagined a late night dinner at Jefe’s would turn into such a memorable experience. Thanks guys!

I have been here quite a few times. Every time I've gone its been the same issue. The staff is unbearablly rude. I'll say I'm not going back, then one day I'll decide to give it a chance. Then rinse and repeat. This all leads up to the other night. I went to a local show and popped in for a quick bowl. The girl at the counter stood and stared at me like I had ten heads, sure whatever. Everytime I said someing, asked for rice etc she would mutter under her breath. Then loudly sign and roll her eyes. It came to a point where my bf who was behind me said 'wow thats ridiculous' and she just kinda walked off. I had to basically beg for her to do her job. Mind you I'm polite, I've worked in the service industry before I can cut people slack. This was just out of control. Honestly I was about to

For me the best El Jefe's in Boston is still the one near Kenmore but I definitely enjoyed the food, it tasted just as great. I put in an order through their app while I was still on the T got out at Harvard square and still managed to make it to my bus although it was 4 minutes after my arrival to the station, so overall very pleased. They work fast and the quality doesn't suffer. Definitely check it out and if anything I would say that it is better the Felipe's nearby.
