Carnitas Street Taco (3 Pieces) were delicious. Japaleno slices added just the right amount of heat. The Adult Quesadilla is plenty filling with lots of cheese and filling.

This is my very first time trying this place, and let me tell you.... I am a huge foodie snob and like my food very flavorful and on point... El Jefe, YOU DID NOT DISAPPOINT!
The flavors. Oh my gosh, the flavors! I had the Street Taco (3 Pieces) in 3 different flavors, as well as the Chips & Salsa:
Honey lime chicken - the pulled chicken was tender and juicy. You could really taste the genuine honey-lime flavor, which I usually dont taste in food from other places. It was delightful.
Spicy pork carnitas - the pulled pork was tender and delicious. It had a hint of the spicy, but not too spicy where you blow your pallete. Carnitas are some of my favorite tacos to eat when theyre made right, and these were perfect.
Sweet and Smokey - my absolute fave! I am not the biggest fan of a "Smokey" flavor in some things, but the smokiness in the pulled pork was just perfection and made my tastebuds dance. I truly enjoyed the taste and savored it after every bite!
The tacos all had the same toppings, which was surprisingly nice! It had some kind of aoli/mayo kind of sauce with tasty seasonings and spices, red onions, lightly pickled jalepenos (not spicy), a small slice of avocado and finished with cotija cheese, and that just brought all of the flavors from every taco together.
The chips and salsa I believe are a bit overpriced, but they were good. Good crunch on the corn chips, and the salsa was fresh and flavorful. The tacos were definetly the spotlight. I am happy to share that personally, El Jefe is the best street taco joint in Alaska! I will definitely order here again and will have to go give the place a visit in person next!! Well done, El Jefe.

Was highly disappointed that the rice in the burrito was just steamed rice, no seasoning to it. the "Lime Chicken" was bland and had no line zest to it. The salsa was good, but the Street corn was definitely poor value for what the amount you get. the small container isn't worth more than $4, the pico for $5 was basically the same size as a sample so overpriced.. Definitely not worth $60 for two burritos, a street corn and two picos. will not be a repeat customer

Everything tastes like it came from a can. Wayyy too much sodium in the street corn, it was inedible. And $5.50 for a taco that is barely 4 inches across and use no solid meat. You shouldn't be proud of that
