Food was good. Service was prompt and friendly. It's a little too dark and dingy for me though.

Food was decent. We were only people there, but it wasnt bad. Enjoyed it. Salsa was a little spicey for my taste, but my partner loved it.

I think they do some things well and some things average. The chicken was very dry and not flavorful. On the other hand their salsas were a flavor punch.
Not a huge fan of their drinks.

Had dinner there last night with my daughter and girlfriend. Our server was very friendly, made killer drinks, and the food was very good! We can’t wait to return again. Thank you very much.
We were in Tuesday March 9th around 6:30/7:00pm

Best Mexican restaurant around. From the complimentary, warm chips and authentic salsa with a kick, to the Amazing roasted pork or steak tacos.. Fried ice cream for kids and house margaritas for adults.. I’ve never had a bad meal here!

In Delaware it was hard to find good Mexican restaurant. El jefe stuffs were super friendly. I had two dishes. The shrimp tacos were ok ( below the average) but shrimp chimichanga was something you die for it. Highly recommended.

Im sorry upon entrance I almost gagged. Reminds you of a basement. I literally was holding my breath. But afterwards I guess it was ok. We were greeted by two women who took our drink orders. The pepsi was flat. Hardly cold with ice. I ordered enchiladas bad choice. There meat tastes like its from a can. It was nicely plated just nasty. I returned my food. Not impressed. Dont waste your time with groupon. They hardly understand you.

I would of loved it, but there's a lack for customer service. Service was very dry and not so attentive. The food wonderful was very flavorful and delicious. Had the Sopa de Mariscos 😋✌🏻
