Love this place. The food is a great mix of Mexican and West Indian flavours, and it’s super affordable. The staff are always in great spirits and really welcoming - oh, and they make their chips fresh on site. A great option for something quick, easy and tasty.

I ordered the jerk pork bowl which was very good. The pork was tender and it was not very spicy, for people who aren't looking for overpowering spices. The portion was good and the guacamole and nachos were excellent. I will definitely return to El Jeffe.

The jerk pork burrito here is a flavor explosion! Tender, spicy pork wrapped with fragrant rice, beans, and fresh toppings—it's a perfect balance of smoky heat and satisfying heartiness. The spices dance on your taste buds, leaving you craving more. A must-try for burrito lovers seeking something bold and unforgettable! Truly enjoyed it with guac on the side super dope!

Very good, clean, and professional. Everyone inside was friendly, polite, and helpful. The food was fresh and really good. I had steak & Chicken nachos without Pico and the owner had me try a shrimp taco- which was VERY good. I also enjoyed the frozen sangria. There are a few stools where you can eat inside. Idk if they have a back patio for the warmer days (should've asked) but it's great for takeout also. Very organized. I'll be back!!!! I have to do better with food pics bc I really start tearing it up before I can snap something. Sorry guys.

Great little spot. Quality, fresh food. Great service with an open friendliness that was very welcome to this very recent transplant to the city. Try the nachos! The sample I was given was excellent.

I used to go here a lot when I lived in the area but moved to another area last year. I went today while waiting for an appointment, and they did not disappoint. I usually always got tacos before but decided on a salad today. That’s the most shrimp I’ve ever had on a salad in nyc for that price, and it was cooked to perfection. They don’t know I’m obsessed with pickled anything, so the pickled onions were 🤌🏾! The cilantro dressing is also really good and they gave me extra without charging me. And, as usual, the frozen Margarito did what it was supposed to do! Only took one point off for atmosphere since they’re redoing the outdoor seating and the inside doesn’t have much seating. The service is great though and the crew is very friendly. Please reopen the Flatbush location!

Haven’t been here in a while and I’m mad at myself about it because I was reminded of how great their food is. I love a good crunch with my nachos and melted cheese, theirs did not disappoint. Also got the jerk pork taco for my bf and he said it was really good.

Walked inside this cute cozy Taco joint called El Jeffe (The Boss) for the first time and their customer service is well inviting, with some cool friendly employees who are great. I got 2 veggie tacos for a great price ($4 each ) their prices are fairly. There’s side pick up and wheelchair accessibility

I stopped by El Jeffe in Brooklyn for a solo lunch, and even though there were a few customers crowded near the entrance, everyone was very friendly. I ordered the Jerk Pork Salad from the menu board and ate inside. The price and volume are the best! The staff had great smiles and provided warm, welcoming service. There are two counter seating areas, and they offer complimentary water, which was nice. The salad was flavorful, and the cilantro dressing paired perfectly—it made me want to keep eating. I got full halfway through, so I asked for a to-go container, and they kindly provided one. It’s definitely a spot I’d love to come back to.

Food was delicious, service friendly and quick. Just bummed that for “dining in,”. plastic takeout containers were mandatory. I chose to eat in believing it would cut down on plastic waste, so it makes me not want to order from here again.

It is a hidden gem worth tracking down! Ordering was a breeze with plenty of options to choose from, and the staff was super informative and helpful—happy to answer questions and make great recommendations. The tacos? Absolutely delicious. We tried the grilled chicken, fried chicken, grilled fish, and steak—and every single one was a hit. Flavorful, well-seasoned, and cooked just right. The food came out quickly, which was a huge plus, especially with hungry kids in tow. While the seating area is limited, it’s just enough to grab a spot, sit down, and stuff your face—no frills, just great food. Bonus points for being kid-friendly—our kids loved it too. El Jefe is definitely worth a try if you're in the area. Top notch!

I ordered a total of 3 tacos for delivery. The jerk pork, fried shrimp and and fish taco. They were all pretty good, flavorful and fresh. As you can see the package everything very nicely and the presentation is appealing. My favorites were the fish and the fried shrimp. Just would’ve preferred a corn tortilla instead of flour.

The tacos are out of this world! We tried all different kinds and they were all delicious. From the chicken to the shrimp to the pork, so good! This is a great spot to hit up after some drinks. Service was top tier also! This spot is an order your food to go & sit outside kind of place. They’re got some bar seating near where you order but there’s no AC so it’s extremely hot.

The frozen margaritas are on point here! We tried the small passionfruit and mango flavors and both were delicious. They have really good chips and queso as well (7.5/10). The chicken rice bowl was alright. I appreciated that the white rice has a coconut flavor. I would go back for the margaritas!

Food was ok. The bearded guy at the counter --> very rude. Walked in 15 mins before closing and ate in a hurry to get out by 10pm but got yelled at by him. D head. Be better. P.S : One lady was ordering at the counter at 9.59 and we had almost finished eating. Very discriminatory, it felt like.

This place is a hit or miss. Sometimes the food is really good and sometimes it’s just trash.. but I suppose that’s most of the restaurant's today. I’m just not jacking this spot any more. Time to find a new 1. Smh
