Los Jefes

I’m Mexican, so maybe my opinion counts a little extra here. The birria, al pastor, and chorizo tacos were great. If you like spicy food, ask for their hot salsa. People at my table had huaraches with chorizo and nachos supreme with birria, and everyone loved their food. The horchata was sweet and delicious. The service might be a little slower than in other places, but you can tell the food is made with care, and it’s totally worth it. If you go for anything with chorizo or birria, you can’t go wrong :)

This place was great! The three tacos were, were simple, yet delicious and authentic! Just as I thought I was done the Taco Salad Bowl, it came with a nice surprise of beans underneath! The actual bowl tasted great as well! The service was good, had a kind waiter and food came in a timely fashion! It had a warm, authentic family vibe. Did I mention you can eat the bowl?

The food was impeccable, the service the first time I went was met with confusion when ordering a vegan meal. The second and third time there was a different group of staff who helped me tremendously as I was not aware the guac was made without dairy. I tasted off to me still. Personally I love the cabbage bean tacos that are vegan. The way the cabbage is so finely sliced is quite incredible. props to the chef for making such a soothing experience. My table by window is always clean, seats are ripped and worn. I don’t like that, as a content creator and a professional model I like to have things more put together. Last but not least, none of the sauces are spicy enough for me. I am disappointed in their hot sauce collection but it’s Vermont, where majority of people don’t like/can’t hand

I really didn't have my hopes up too high, Vermont is great, but its not known for its Mexican cuisine. I was in for quite a surprise. First came the free chips and salsa. The salsa here is more like a Lizano style Costa Rican sauce than the thicker salsas. I love this type of salsa and it was incredible with just the right amount of heat. The menu isn't as big as you see at other place and the prices were very inexpensive, so I imagined the portion size would be smaller. Nope! I ordered the Molcajete because I thought it would be a smaller size considering the price, it came out sizzling in an enormous Molcajete mortar - is that the correct term? Steak, shrimp, cactus, chicken and chorizo along with peppers and green onion. It was absolutely marvelous and, quite honestly, the best Molcaj

Finally—*real* Mexican food in Vermont. Anyone who’s lived or traveled outside the state knows how hard it is to find authentic Mexican cuisine up here, so this place is a welcome surprise. The flavors are bold and genuine, the ingredients taste fresh, and nothing feels watered down to “Vermont standards.” Everything we tried was excellent, from the seasoning to the portions, and the service was friendly and welcoming. If you’ve been searching for authentic Mexican food in the St. Albans area, this is the spot. Highly recommend.
