There's sometimes a bit of a wait because this place is a rare find. Superb food at an excellent price and a staff you look forward to seeing. Well worth the occasional wait to support this kind of business
Best place ever! Very kind. Be prepared to wait during lunch rush, but so worth it! Very affordable! Never had bad service. Thanks! ????
Great green chili in the breakfast burrito! The burrito was a great portion size and priced perfectly. They were friendly and fast for such fresh food. The only ask would be to disperse the chorizo through the burrito more, the ends were full of yummy sausage but the middle was all eggs and potato- other than that we’d go back for sure!!
Let me preface this by saying that I have had A LOT of breakfast burritos from all around Colorado. I'm somewhat of a BB connoisseur. Read what I'm about to say carefully. El Jefe. Has. The. Best. Breakfast. Burrito. In. The. State.
What used to be Big Mama's is now El Jefe, and the food has only gotten better. For those of you who haven't had the fortune of trying one of these burritos then let me try to explain it for you.
The price to pay to live in the lap of luxury is $4 for the daily special, and you my friend are about to cruising. The size of the burrito has been carefully calculated to fill you up perfectly. Inside the burrito you will bite into creamy clouds of potatoes, delicate bits of eggs, cheese, and to top it all off the most flavorful and perfectly balanced green chile money can buy. This is the stuff your 88 year old Spanish grandmother salivates over. If destiny favors you and chorizo is the meat of the day then prepare to indulge. If not, order chorizo. The spicy freshness will have you coming back for more time and time again.
I love spicy food, and the heat level on this is on point. Not too spicy, but enough heat to get you going. The combination of the chorizo and medium green chile mixes around in your mouth like some kind of flavor vortex, leaving nothing to be desired.
Do yourself a favor and drive through this place next time your on this side of town (or the opposite) and elevate your pallette.
This is a drive-thru only location. It used to be Big Mama's Burritos, now it's El Jefe Tacos and Burritos... But it still has the same menu, as well as the same great people who work there. Only thing that has changed is the prices went up around $.25 for the entire menu and is still better priced than most taco trucks or the like.
