El Jefecito Restaurant and Food Trucks

We’re speechless. Everything was incredible. This place is small and it doesn’t look like much but do not let that make you pass by. The fish quesadilla was juicyyyyy and my friend said her tacos were some of the best she’s ever had. The pictures speak for themselves.

So good!! Great spot you can call in or place your order inside as well as dine in with the option of picnic tables outside. They also have a food truck more info for that on their website. They serve fish, chicken, steak and veggie options. My favorite is the fish tacos I've also had veggie quesadillas and chicken and steak tacos, I'm working my way down the menu :) check them out.

This is our go-to place for carry-out tacos. The food is fantastic, the price is good, the people are nice, and the orders are ready in no time. I love this place -- can't wait to go again soon.

Y’all. I usually can’t be bothered to leave reviews, but this place is worth it. Family owned (wonderfully kind people), no frills, clean, and good good food. Having lived in LA and NYC, I can’t stand mediocre Mexican. This place rocks, and I’m looking forward to frequenting it more in the future. It’s a great mix of traditional and inventive menu items. The selection is limited, and trust me - that’s a really good thing. They know what they do well! I had two chorizo tacos and one fish taco plus the red and green sauces for $11, which was a fair price for some very stuffed tacos. Everything was awesome and the red sauce has a nice kick to it. I encourage you to try this place if you’re checking it out, especially during these crazy times where local businesses need us more than ever!

Super yummy!! Location is nothing fancy but perfect for dinner after a swim at the quarry. Will definitely be back !

Really good tacos! Even the satellite location at the Durham Bulls stadium is great. Their mild salsa is also delicious. Highly recommend both the fish and chorizo tacos.

I was pleasantly surprised to find this gem! I decided to try the Chicken tacos. Dressed with pimento cheese, pico de gallo and sweet chili sauce, they provided the perfect balance of sweetness, acidity, and heat! Additionally, the customer service was superb! I will definitely be back.

Excellent street tacos in Durham.

My wife and I were craving tacos and lucky live pretty close to this place. We were not disappointed.

The staff is friendly and the service was quick. You'd be hard pressed to find better tacos in the area. Highly recommend to give them a try.

Enjoyed El Jefecito’s food truck at ZincHouse Winery and Brewery. Great to wash down El Jefecito’s guac and chips with a good, local brew! You must try their red and green sauces which are politely spicy. Made an excellent addition to the guacamole and chips. Looking forward to trying your vegetarian tacos next.

Wonderfully creative ingredient combos! Loved the chicken, steak and chorizo tacos and the beans were delicious too!

I just ordered doordash from here after reading some of the reviews online and I have to tell you--the hype that people have shared doesn't even come close. The food absolutely blew me away! I couldn't eat it fast enough yet I wanted to savor every bite. I got a chicken taco, chorizo taco, guacamole and chips, and some pupusas! The servings were generous with all ingredients. I can't wait to come back. :) The pupusas aren't pictured because I'm saving them for dinner and I know looking at them too long would make me immediately want to eat them. COME HERE!

I had the breakfast burrito and it was so big I ate it for lunch too! Delicious, speedy and friendly! Will definitely be visiting again!

Absolutely amazing, we're so excited that we found this place! Three people ordered so we tried several tacos and each one was perfection!

Tacos are really good !! I wish I took some photos. But all taste delicious, the flavors are a bit different but work together perfectly. I was completely full after 4 tacos and a few bites of their nachos.

Family run to boot. Enjoy after a day at Eno!

Awesome, flavorful tacos. Indoor and outdoor seating so this is a great place to stop if you’re traveling with your dog. Fast and friendly service. We will definitely be coming back. Thank you!

I am picky about my tortas, pupasas and tacos. This has absolutely dethroned my favorite spot in all categories. Handmade tortillas, quick and friendly service, and the food is incredible. I will be bringing my friends and family here, and am pumped that I live so close!!

P.S. Get the churros, they won't last long until they're sold out!!

I would have shared pics but the food didn't stand a chance of being photoed. As soon as we got the take out in our car, the aroma was intoxicating. My son had a chicken burrito, and I had pastor tacos. They were absolutely delicious. Fresh ingredients and wonderful seasoning. Very friendly staff. We will be back, again, and again, and again.

Discovered this place not long ago, and we LOVE the tacos.
Busy nights/times mean a longer wait for your order, and the online ordering doesn't show you the reduced price for 3 tacos instead of just one. Call in ordering is still a work in progress. We think this will all get worked out in time, and does not detract from the fresh delicious food. Definitely delicious and unique food, friendly staff. There are a couple outdoor picnic tables if you order to eat on site. No fountain drinks, all bottled or canned drinks, including water.
We love the veggie options, but our favorites so far are the chicken and the steak. We'll be back to try them all eventually!

Really enjoy the veggie quesadilla. They consistently have lots of veggies but not so many that they are falling out and making a mess

I don’t write reviews often, but my family and I deemed it necessary to write a review about this place. We have ordered tacos from this restaurant on more than one occasion. After the first experience, I would literally sit at work and daydream of these lovelies. I had the beef and tilapia and both are equally amazing. Also, the rice and beans are fire. Get it.
