Jefe's - Longmont

The chips and salsa here are delicious!! You have really great drinks and also soft drinks and cocktails I appreciate. The vegetarian/vegan tacos are okay. I like them overall, but I think they're not amazing. The Jackfruit one is quite tasteless and the others are only sharp with no other taste. Sometimes the food would be cold. Maybe more apps/drinks space

When they visited Jefes since their opening, they had excellent food and marga. But in the last 6 months I have found Jefe's street tactics to contain only one puppet game, certainly not like their photos that are presented as they were since they were opened. These days are long gone as well as their margins that you hardly taste, see or feel any tequila in them. I can have three today and not feel something. They taste like a thick lemon ade, I'm best burning them lol! Their employees are still rocking and their nachos. But the rest of the food has down the hill in taste. Her Chili Rellenos are filled with raw crispy chili's, and their enchiladas and sauce are very unsatisfactory. Admittedly, this is not an authentic Mexican cuisine and that's good, but their chefs and food have gone to... too much pot maybe? Will stay beer from now on...

Happy Hour Margaritas are good. Your chips and salsa are also delicious. Everything else is... mediocre.

My husband and I ordered the taco Tuesday special platter with 7 squashacado and 8 bangin cauliflower tacos. The squashacado is supposed to consist of diced butternut squash roasted in Mexican spices with fresh avocado, cilantro crema, pico de gallo and roasted pepitas. The bangin cauliflower is supposed to consist of cauliflower fried in rice flour tempura with a sriracha citrus glaze, fresh basil and pico de gallo. Our order included chips and salsa. We personally didn’t like the chips and salsa as the chips are really thick and the salsa just tasted of tomato and not much else. Upon opening the taco platter I was very disappointed to see that the only things in there were the tortillas, the cauliflower and the squash. Of course we asked them to make it vegan so they didn’t include the crema, but we were missing all of the toppings they should’ve included like the pico de gallo, the avocados and the pepitas. We still tried a taco with just the squash and just the cauliflower. The squash just tasted like sweet butternut squash. Whatever Mexican spices they supposedly used were nonexistent. The cauliflower did have some sauce and basil but it was barely a drizzle and certainly didn’t coat all of it. All in all we were very disappointed, and I hate that we wasted $30 for nothing. I’m honestly not sure why they get such good reviews, maybe mainly because of the margaritas and which we haven’t tried. When it comes to flavor though the food we had was severely lacking, so if I were you I’d seek out tacos elsewhere.

Jefes was so good! Lots of vegan options. First, straight up vegan options are marked on the menu as such. Examples are the escabeche (house pickled jicama, carrot, jalapeño onion) or chips guac or salsa. Second, many of their tacos and burritos can be made vegan with a choice of vegetable (squash, cauliflower, avocado). We had the street tacos with squash and The Legend burrito with the cauliflower (no cheese). Any burrito can also be turned into a chimichanga (fried up and topped with guacamole pico de gallo). Best choice we made. It was like a big burrito wonton. The cauliflower/guac/refried beans combination was great, and honestly I keep on thinking about when I can have it again. The dessert menu had a vegan option of mango sorbet with compote and chile spices. I wasn't that excited for it, but the combination of sweet mango sorbet, with the fruit and spicy chili was surprisingly good. Some other notes: the escabeche is a bit spicy, be aware had a pitcher of cucumber marg. It was just okay. Our glasses weren't salted and I think it could have possibly made the flavors a bit more complex.
