Thrilled to find delicious Mexican food in Denver. Farm to table no less! We loved everything we tried and our waiter was fantastic and made the experience even more fun.

I hosted a holiday party here and the experience was excellent from beginning to end. Jesse, the GM, was responsive, helpful, and went above and beyond. He was able to accommodate multiple food allergies while still serving delicious tacos, salsas, and churros. Thank you, Jesse!

My husband and I are regulars at El Jefe. The wait staff is so friendly and the food is fresh and delicious. My favorite right now is the "winter salad" with sweet potato, arugula, pumpkin seeds and prosciutto.Other faves are the chicken and plantain quesadilla, the tortilla soup, and the mole is fabulous! El Jefe is a Sunnyside treasure!

I am not sure what it was about El Jefe that made me feel safe, but I walked in and asked for a booth, to mitigate the chaos, and marched my two toddlers, throwing up hands as guard rails, behind the host to our table. The hungry grumpy monsters loved the food and the atmosphere was active enough to keep us all comfortable and entertained. Highly recommend to anyone but definitely to any parents who want to go out for a family meal but need to feel like a real adult person.

Great night out at El Jefe. Jesse was a fantastic waiter making perfect recommendations of the Mole and quesabirria. Margarita and Paloma hit the spot as well. We'll definitely be back!

This place was wonderful - we were able to get in on a Friday night, and the staff were so welcoming and attentive. Guac was great, entrees were well prepared, and the drink recommended by our waiter was very good. A nice hidden gem!

Ordered the enchiladas, which I thought were great but my partner didn’t like at all. We also got the quesadilla and queso. We had ordered street corn but never received it and wasn’t on the bill. Overall the food was good And I’ll definitely be coming back.

Wow! The hospitality giving by Jessie and Mike at the bar was memorable. The recommendations were right on point. Breakfast burrito, chilaquiles con huevos, and the French toast stuffed with plantains were all really really good. I asked for house hot sauces and OMG they should be bottling them. Ty Jessie

Absolutely delicious. Highly recommend the queso birra tacos or the mole enchiladas. The strawberry horchata was the best drink ever. We ordered a banana split (amazing) & our sever gave us a key lime pie on the house, which was also delicious and very kind of him! Great atmosphere & amazing service all around. Absolutely recommend trying this place, will definitely be returning!
