El Jefe's Taqueria - Boston Common

Andres Ayala

The food is excellent. The portions are extremely generous. Essentially, you walk up to the counter, place your order and they add whatever items you want to your order. It is definitely made to order. The restaurant is a bit small with just a couple of tables and counters where one can dine at, but for the most part it seems like most people tend to do takeout. Every time we visit and are in the neighborhood, this is our go to spot.

The service here is pretty fast. I had the veg bowl—decent portions and good flavor. It was just a quick 7-minute walk from where I was staying. The space is small, but I actually liked the cozy ambiance—perfect for a casual stop and a quick meal. I'm in Boston for a short office visit, and while exploring the downtown area, I stumbled upon this spot

I come here pretty much every day to get my three taco set fix whenever I have a study break at Suffolk University. Just looking at the photos I took of my tacos is enough to spark cravings here.

A nice Mexican themed restaurant, food is delicious, they serve tacos, burritos and bowls. If you’re a lover of spicy food I recommend El Jefe’s. The atmosphere consists of lovely decorations, bright lights and Mexican songs. Wifi was really good. The seating consisted of wooden tables and plastic chairs and the utensils were plastic. They served a bunch of spicy sauces.

I argued with my partner about coming here because it was 1:30am and we had already eaten so much food during the day. I’m glad I was wrong because the tacos were worth it. They don’t charge extra for toppings and don’t skimp on it either. Had tacos loaded with veggies and sauces, so good that I visited twice on my trip. Horchata is good too though a tad bit too sweet for me.

Ordered the combo meal. Food was great with unlimited toppings! Staff was friendly and portions were a plus for the price! What doesnt come with the combo meal pictured here was the additional bowl and the flan.
