“ Oh my gosh this place is SOOOO GOOOOD!!! I moved here from Texas and I have not been able to find anything decent for a looong time. Finally, 2 Jefes opened and it's not just legit, it tastes like home. I can't eat anywhere else for Mexican. And good service! They accidentally gave me cheese instead of a chicken enchilada and they brought it so quickly. Bonus! The staff and owner are super friendly and gracious. Went back another night and got the fajitas. Portion was a bit small, but best tasting fajitas I've had in years, including in Texas. You won't be disappointed. Enjoy ”
“ We were visiting in the area. 2 Jeffes for a Great Mexican dinner. The patio out back is great for a warm night. friendly service. ”
“ Update: went back a week later because why not? Ambiance and staff was still great. Tried the carne asada fijitas and tacos this time. Food: Carne asada fajita and tacos - appetizing. Drinks: Frozen pineapple margarita and regular margarita on the rocks: mouth watering. Tried dessert this time around: coconut flan - MIND BLOWING!!!!!! Another update: The crowds have died down but the food and service are still good. Finally got to check out this place after a month of being open. Had a fantastic dinner here. The food is so fresh and delicious and best of all, it tastes home made. The drinks were very good and the staff was amazing. The ambiance is also very warm and welcoming. They will ne opening up their patio once it warms up and it's going to be a hit. Can't wait to go back! Hope everything stays the same. Highly recommended. ”
“ Good food! We had the crispy tacos (chicken and ground beef), and fajitas (pick 2 combo with carnitas, and shrimp brochette) both were great and the waiter also brought me some house made hot sauce which I recommend as well. With the fajitas the carnitas were good, but the shrimp brochette were fantastic. The shrimp is wrapped in bacon with cheese highly recommend them! ”
“ First time, will come back often. Great enchiladas (steak and chicken) with beans, and frozen margaritas. Very nice, clean atmosphere and tables and great service. Perfect for family meals. ”
“ Very nice and tasty food. I ate chicken quesadillas, they were the right mixture of flavour. Really appreciated the food and the service was very quick. ”
“ Absolutely delicious. My meal started with wonderful home made tortilla chips & fresh pico de gallo beautifully prepared. I then proceeded to the shredded beef burrito. The beef was prepped & seasoned beautifully, bursting with flavor and authenticity. Everything felt & tasted fresh & just right. I topped it off with an extra treat: a refreshing home made horchata, one of the best I've had. This place is a must to try out for any serious Tex Mex lover. ”
“ I had a fantastic dinner experience. The atmosphere was bright and lively, with authentic Mexican touches that made the evening even more enjoyable. The food was absolutely delicious! I especially loved the shrimp tacos – they were perfectly seasoned, fresh and full of flavour. The seafood burrito was another highlight – hearty, filling and filled with fresh ingredients. Every bite was a delight! The service was excellent, with friendly and attentive staff who made sure we had everything we needed. If you are looking for a place with Mexican food, atmosphere and good service, definitely worth a visit. ”
