★★★★★ 5.0 David Woods · Jan 2026

Great atmosphere! Great jams! Cool vibe and a good place to bring the family for good authentic Mexican food. I had the chicken Torta which was not greasy at all. If you like big portions with a great taste then Jefe’s is your place. The habanero Mango salsa was the icing on the cake.

★★★★★ 5.0 Erika G · Nov 2025

This restaurant was amazing! The food was so delicious — we tried the burrito, chicken taco, and pupusas, and everything was full of flavor. The customer service was also amazing, everyone was super friendly and welcoming. The only small downside is that parking is in the back and you have to pay for it (not much, but just something to know). Overall, definitely worth it — we’ll be coming back!

★★★★☆ 4.0 Renaissance Marie Austin · Oct 2025

I went to do Tai Chi in Pedro. On my way back I decided to grab food to break my fast. Tamales are always my go-to and through a Google search I found Jefe's. Decided I would dine in as the rating and photos looked great. Jefe's has plenty of open seating. It's clean, fresh, and new-like. Restrooms for patrons and tv screens for watching. I loved the photography on the walls exhibiting San Pedro/Cali culture. There were options that met my dietary needs as I am not a meat eater. For my vegans a vegs, there's veggie tacos. Pupusas without meat. I also ordered Jamaica which was super amazing. There are also other items to choose from as well. Generally, the flavor and spice palatte is more dialed down compared to what I am used to as I noticed there is a pretty diverse crowd that dines he

★★★★★ 5.0 The Zen Emporium · Oct 2025

Kind staff, amazing clean restaurant, and phenomenal food. Picked up two of the protein papi Carne Asada burritos and they are delicious. Well seasoned slightly grilled and really generous portions of protein. It’s exactly what we wanted. Thank you.

★★★★★ 5.0 Maile Bennett · Sep 2025

Came to San Pedro for work and decided to check out Jefe's Cocina because the reviews mentioned that everything was delicious and homemade. The reviews are spot on! This place is amazing! I had the carne asada burrito and a chicharron queso popular to go for my friend. The pineapple and cucumber agua fresca was a perfect palate cleanse to my burrito. The vibes in this place are really cool too. Friendly and fast service and their music is old school jams. I'm coming back for sure.
