Our Story

FRESH FOOD. BOLD FLAVOR. YOUR WAY.

El Jefe’s started in 2015 with one simple idea: fresh, healthy, ridiculously delicious food, without making you pay extra for the good stuff. Yep, that includes guac. And queso. Because around here, Extras Aren’t Extra.

Since then, we’ve grown to 9 locations across Massachusetts, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, and we’re not done yet. We’re always looking for the next neighborhood to bring a little more El Jefe’s energy to.

Our menu was built around Mexican flavors and street food that inspired us from day one: loaded burritos, tacos, bowls, breakfast favorites and plenty of heat. Everything is made fresh, packed with flavor and built exactly the way you want it. Prefer steak over chicken? Go for it. Want ALL the toppings? Obviously. Load it up. We’re not here to hold back.

 

We’re open 7 days a week, from breakfast through late night, which means we’re there for the early risers, the lunch crowd, the dinner crew and anyone who suddenly realizes at 3 AM that a burrito is exactly what the night has been missing.

And El Jefe’s is more than the food. We’re proudly employee-owned and run by a team of 400+ people who keep the grills hot, the burritos rolling and the good vibes going. We’re also proud to show up for our community, partnering with local organizations, universities and causes that matter to our customers and our teams.

Nine locations down. Plenty more to come.

Wherever we go next, one thing stays the same: fresh food, big flavor, late nights, free guac and absolutely no charging extra for the good stuff.
