El Jefe's Tacos

Ordered catering through them for a family together. Pickup was easy, and all utensils, serving supplies, and chafing dishes/fuel were included. Price was very reasonable and owner/employees were super nice. Multiple options to choose from; we went with the two tacos per person which came with three types of taco vessels (corn, flour, hard tortillas), 12 massive tubs of sides( of your choice), and two big containers of meat. We also got platter of rice, beans, and chips and queso and still working through the leftovers three days later. Food was phenomenal: meat was tender, good spice, and very bright and vibrant colors and flavors to everything. Guajillo salsa was one of the best options. Highly recommend this place; would definitely order from again.

These are tacos worth driving to!!! They are huge, creative, modern tacos that taste incredibly flavorful and fresh. I cannot recommend the short rib ($5.50) and crispy shrimp ($6.50) tacos enough, and I can only image every single option will be just as amazing and I can't wait to return to find out for myself. While expensive, they are absolutely worth their cost. The shrimp were plentiful, large, and lightly battered and paired with a generous amount of guac and refreshing slaw. The short ribs were so so juicy/flavorful and the spicy slaw was SPICY--I think it was topped with sliced habanero which really hit me sideways haha the two tacos I got worked well together. Both were on thick, homemade corn tortillas that were insanely delicious and held the generous ingredients without break or leaking. Came for takeout about 30 minutes before close and was surprised there weren't any tables to sit at, seemed to be just a big kitchen with a pickup table. It was also hard to locate from outside and could use better signage. As a large order came in before I arrived, I had to wait 20 minutes for mine to be made so perhaps call ahead for the best ordering experience. I came to use my RI Food Fight Taco Passport, and after visiting about 15 local taco shops, El Jefe was without a doubt the best in Rhode Island hands down so do yourself a favor and give them a try.

Discovered on RI FOOD FIGHTS Taco MANIA! Seems to be takeout only. Huge kitchen and generously sized menu. Lots of taco options. Tacos are piled high with fresh ingredients and delicious seasoned meats. We got Barbacoa and Grilled Chicken. Both super tender and bursting with flavor. Believe they also make their own tortillas, which are perfectly tender.

First time I ate here wad about a month and a half ago. This place is FANTASTIC. Best Mexican food I've ever had!!! My dads been to Mexico and lived in California and he said it doesn't get any more authentic. Since then I've raved about it to my coworkers who can't stop going there now. And I've ordered a couple more times myself! The two dollar tacos are way way worth it, I get four of em everytime 😍😍😍 I can't stop dreaming of this place.. long story short.. YOU NEED TO TRY THIS!
