We were looking for a Mexican restaurant for my birthday. We found El Jefe Cafe, and I'm so glad we did. It's one of those mom & pop places that has great service & atmosphere. We were greeted the moment we walked in, the staff was extremely kind & respectful. The food was absolutely delicious. High
Very fresh and great portions……paid 14.50 for soft taco plate ….
Good food. Great service. Casual environment. Very reasonable prices. What's not to like? Will def go there next time I'm in SC.
Very American iced Mexican food. It was great for gringos. Putchers of beer prices were phenomenal. Nice staff.
By far...
The Very BEST fish & chips in town.
I've tried them all.
The service was exceptional & conversational for a take out order.
Thank you El Jefe staff. 🌊❤️
Very happy with our experience. The breakfast machaca was good. Service was prompt and friendly. Prices were fair. Plenty of parking, too, which is always tough to find around most restaurants in San Clemente. We will be back.
Nice family owned/run restaurant. Food is amazing. Some of the best Burritos I’ve had. Highly recommended
We had the fish and scallops with chips (fries). The service was great, the food would compare to Long John Silvers with less atmosphere on the patio. Prices are not bad for the area. I would try El Jefes gain to check out their tacos the fish and scallops are a "no" for me in the future
Authentic tacos freshly made to order. Lovely family run restaurant with a good atmosphere. Definitely recommend!
Beef taco was no mis-steak and the shrimp was shrimply irresistible. Quick, flavorful, and great service. 10/10.
Will definitely be back.
Was craving some home style mexican food and this hit the spot. Enchiladas were bomb and the hostess was so friendly :)
The absolute BEST place for tacos de lengua! Horchata isn’t overly sweet, and the staff is very friendly.
Impressive prices for the quality and portions of food. Quirky but fun place just off the main strip in San Clemente.
Excelente! Jose the owner served us. He was so attentive and talked to us for a while. The food has an authentic taste. There's many options to choose from, the nachos with beans is a must. Jose thank you from your costumers from puerto rico.
The mojarra and shrimp enchiladas were great! Local and authentic Mexican food.
