El Jefe Taco - Lowell

I ordered takeout and was taken aback by what I received. The tacos were small and overpriced compared to other local restaurants. I also ordered the Mexican street corn, but what I got was completely different—fried corn balls topped with cotija cheese instead of the traditional elote I was expecting. If the corn balls had been tasty, it might have been a different story, but the flavor was just not right. Had there been a clear description of the dish, I definitely wouldn’t have ordered it. I had heard from other students to steer clear of this place, and unfortunately, they were spot on.

The cocktails were robust, and the food was exceptional. It's a great place that took some time to get up and running, but it seems the wait was definitely worthwhile. The nachos were out of this world and perfect for sharing.

I had a mushroom-shaped letter opener on my keychain that carries a lot of sentimental value for me. When I arrived at the venue, the female bouncer told me I couldn't bring it inside. I asked if I could hand it to her and retrieve it at the end of the night, and she agreed, placing it in her pocket. However, at the end of the night when I requested it back, she flatly refused to return it to me. Not only did she break her promise, but she also took my property and laughed in my face when I expressed my frustration. This item is irreplaceable, and I really want it back since it means so much to me.

Restaurant is great! Driver did not follow delivery instructions

The Tofu al Pastor tacos and the Glazed Tofu Tacos were among the very best tacos I've ever eaten. They are sold a la carte. I had two of each. The staff is friendly and helpful. There was reggaeton playing (at a very reasonable volume) which gave an appropriate vibe. I will definitely be back when I visit Lowell.Vegetarian options: The vegetarian options were creative and delicious, not just standard items with the meat taken off. They were all either always vegan or easily ordered that way
