Customer Reviews
I got a chance to give this spot for lunch! When I arrived I parked on the street nearby. I walked in and was greeted! The spot is right by Rutgers! I ordered: Chicken Tortila Soup Shrimp Burrito Steak Tacos Chicken and Steak Fajita Bowl I really loved the steak tacos the most! All in all a really good experience!
I must express my deep disappointment when a restaurant offers delicious food, but the customer service is so appalling that I would never consider returning to spend money there. The staff consistently displays nasty attitudes, and most of them don’t speak English. They all seem annoyed by being there to serve customers or act as if they’re doing you a favor by preparing your food, as if this isn’t their job that you’re paying for. Having worked in service my entire life, not necessarily in food service, but in the service of others, I understand the importance of providing excellent customer service. A successful business requires a certain level of customer service, and this establishment fails miserably. I’ve given this place at least 10 or more chances, and the service has been consi
The portions are so small for the price, even chipotle does a better job at giving better proportions. They had new cooked meat sitting in the back but didn’t want to put it out I’m guessing so they can give you an even smaller proportion due to it being minimal left. I had to press and ask what’s that sitting in the back. Waste of time, go to the other authentic taco places in the area. The flavor wasn’t bad though 8/10. Picture is without me eating any. How small it was for around 13$
One of my favorite spots! I appreciate the generous portions, you definitely get a lot for what you pay. I find myself choosing Jefe’s over Chipotle because I get more value here. Food is really delicious and the workers are always friendly too. I was a bit disheartened to read a review complaining that the workers don’t speak English. You’re eating at a Mexican restaurant...why would a slight language barrier be an issue? Thanks for all the hard work from the employees!
Had a late night craving for Mexican food and dropped by to get a quick bite. Even though I was here near the closing time, the staff were pretty accommodating. They were patient in letting me take my time choosing the toppings on my nachos. The mango salsa was amazing and all the veggies tasted pretty fresh even during the closing time. Only issue I had with is the queso which tasted a bit stale. Other than that, the quesadilla and the protein was pretty good too. They have ample amount of indoor seating available although the tables are little sticky
