I believe this is a new Mexican spot. It’s located near Pitt so definitely a lot of college students go here, and apparently they have locations across America as well. I decided to try their Build Your Own Mexican Bowl, and I made it with carnitas (pork), Mexican rice, pinto beans, roasted vegetables, and plantains, as well as a Horchata on the side.

If you’re on the hunt for an affordable Mexican food option, El Jefe’s Taqueria might catch your eye. While it has its upsides, there are some aspects that left me wishing for more.

El Jefe’s is one of the best restaurants in Oakland, PA. The service is very fast and reasonable. The food is very good, with tasty ingredients. I highly recommend El Jefe’s to anyone in the area. It’s the best!

I LOVE EL JEFES THIS IS MY FAVORITE RESTAURANT OF ALL TIME. For real though el jefes is better than chipotle no debate. Im about to go for lunch. And they gave me a free bag of chips last time so they are the goats.

The most flavourful and fresh mexican bowl you can get in Pitt! If you love spicy food, definitely go for the El Jefe’s hot sauce in the bowl, or on the side.

This place is amazing! I got a burrito and I can pick and choose my fresh ingredients. It was delicious! The staff is also super friendly and the place is very clean with cool decor. I wish there was a location in the North Hills! We would probably eat here every day haha
