The wife and I decided to try Jefe’s Mexican for dinner and it did not let us down. Upon entering the business it was exceptionally clean which was nice. We were then greeted and immediately seated. The waiter was very nice and knowledgeable as well. I ordered a three street taco plate with steak tacos and the flavor was great and the plate was HOT, which was also great. I also had a nice cold Topo Chico. My wife ordered the three birria plate and also loved them. We will return! If you are in the Quinlan area I highly recommend.

This is my favorite place to eat in Quinlan. My food has always been fresh and delicious, the prices are fair, the service is very friendly, and the dining area and restroom are always clean. They also have the best chips and salsa around.

The Best Queso Around! Make sure to order the 1/2 and 1/2 queso—you won't regret it! As a queso connoisseur, I can assure you it's thick, delicious and phenomenal. This is not cheese soup. It is cheese!! Everything on the menu is excellent, but the fajitas deserve special mention. The beef and chicken fajitas come with thick, moist, and tender pieces of meat, while the shrimp are large, plump, and cooked to perfection. The charro beans and fluffy rice are on point. The guacamole is fresh with delicious chunks of avocado. My husband raved about the Steak Ranchero, noting it was tender all the way through. These chefs clearly know how to cook and season their food. If you're a fan of CHICKEN FRIED STEAK, this is a must-visit restaurant. Their hand-breaded chicken fried steak is enormous and, according to my husband, absolutely delicious. I get it to go for him it is so good! I'm a queso and fajita girl all the way. For those with MSG sensitivity, as far as we can tell, they don't use it. I've had no migraines, so we'll definitely keep coming back! #noMSG Also, onion... if you don't like onions they say you can get your food without it. This is a family owned and operated restaurant and you can tell. They take pride in everything from the moment you arrive until you walk out the door. We will keep going back!

Had Jefe’s cater my son’s wedding last weekend. They did a super job, and the food was excellent - many compliments by the guests. They also followed up to ensure everything went well. Would recommend to anyone for their catering service.
