El Jefe Mexican - San Marcos

This restaurant is no longer in operation. I hope YELP updates the listing soon. I sent them a message after visiting last week, only to find a chalkboard sign on the front door stating that they are closed and out of business.

This is definitely the worst place I've ever eaten. There was only one other table occupied, which was a huge red flag. I’d rather go to McDonald's and order from the dollar menu. The salsa was essentially just red water, and the food had the texture of rubber. I am extremely disappointed.

The restaurant is now under new management and has an entirely new staff. The food is fantastic, and they offer a happy hour! You can check them out on Instagram @eljefemexicanrestaurant and Twitter @jefe_mexican.

This place is absolutely fantastic! You can tell their is nothing but heart and soul in this food. The warm smoky salsa is unique and full of subtle interesting flavors. The puffy tacos were delicious and not greasy, and the sopapillas will put others to shame. When we asked for a suggestion, Amy recommended the chipotle enchiladas, they were spot on. It was our first time going there and we live right around the corner. Support local great businesses and give them a shot!

The food is tasteless. In further detail: The margarita had no citrusy flavor, the salsa was red water and tacos al carbon were dried doggie biscuits.
