Best tacos in bed stuy!! The jerk pork tacos w/ a flour tortilla are the best. The bowls are delicious and 1000% better than chipotle. The grilled shrimp in the bowl is a little odd in texture but the steak one is top tier.
Brooklyn has sooooo many restaurants from soooo many different cuisines and ethnicities...enough to make my head spin. It sometimes feels impossible to choose where to eat on any given day. On this day, Mexican takes center stage by way of El Jeffe! El Jeffe touts itself as modern Mexican, with a menu featuring an array of classic Mexican dishes, with a focus on tacos, in a casual setting. A long way of saying we have all kinds of Mexican food! When in doubt, always got for tacos. I opt for the holy trifecta: fried chicken, jerk pork, and fried shrimp. The fried shrimp is easily the best of the bunch. Sure the shrimp is well seasoned, but it's the entire build of the taco which takes it over the top....Pickled onions, cheese, spicy mayo. The jerk pork is what I was most excited about, and although wonderful tender, it simply is not jerk. Special mention to the chicken which is beautifully battered and fried. With that being said, the tortillas on this day, were unfortunately on the stale and chewy side, which obviously puts a damper on any taco. Overall El Jeffe ticks almost all the right boxes. Pro tip : do not leave without trying the juices!
Stopped by again today and the answer is YES!!! Yes the food is still top tier and delicious! Yes the drinks are still hitting! And yes the service is still A1! I grabbed a jerk pork quesadilla and sangrita to go. I was fully satisfied.
Yes!!! Yes!!! Yes!!! This spot is the spot! The food is amazing! I ordered the chicken quesadilla and because it was my first time they gave me these chips with queso and guacamole and pico and it was TO DIE FOR! Very friendly staff! I ordered a large frozen margarita. I was having a blast with the staff because they were playing music and we were all dancing. This is definitely a place I recommend coming in on a Saturday night or any day just to grub. Shout out to the owner who I met there! Definitely will be coming back! These are the type of businesses that you have to support!
Best frozen drinks and delicious Mexican food. Everyone mostly go for the mixture of frozen drinks. I honestly came for a frozen sangria. Delicious Service was good It always pack around 4pm Clean it's not a big franchise but they have great service
You NEED to try the jerk pork taco with pineapple. I ordered one and then had to get more because I was sad it ended. Then I ordered the fried chicken taco, it was alright. The service was awesome, they are friendly and helpful. The ambiance is laid back and chill, there are counters to enjoy your order at. Also shoutout to the amazing 2000s hip-hop playlist. Enjoyed my taco whilst 50 Cent 21 Questions played. Great combo. Food - 5/5 (basing on jerk pork taco) Service - 5/5 Ambiance - 4/5
Really good food! Got the steak quesadilla $10. Authentic, speedy, and delicious. Service was quick and friendly. Also got the half n half frozen Marg and sangria. Not very strong. $13 Seems like a takeout only place.
The tacos!!! Honestly I could end my review there because I don't need to say more but I won't do that lol. I got the shrimp tacos (both grilled and fried) and the fish taco. They were all so flavorful and delicious but I think the fried shrimp was my favorite. I also got a side of chips and they were crispy and freshly made. Highly recommend trying this place!
Food-A1-Get the shrimp Quesadillas!!! Service-Fast and Friendly AND BLACK OWNED! Ambiance-I've only eaten in their makeshift outdoor space which is left to be desired (bc Fulton St!) not their fault though. Dranksssss- frozen margaritas!!!
