These are tacos worth driving to!!! They are huge, creative, modern tacos that taste incredibly flavorful and fresh. I cannot recommend the short rib ($5.50) and crispy shrimp ($6.50) tacos enough, and I can only image every single option will be just as amazing and I can't wait to return to find out for myself. While expensive, they are absolutely worth their cost. The shrimp were plentiful, large, and lightly battered and paired with a generous amount of guac and refreshing slaw. The short ribs were so so juicy/flavorful and the spicy slaw was SPICY--I think it was topped with sliced habanero which really hit me sideways haha the two tacos I got worked well together. Both were on thick, homemade corn tortillas that were insanely delicious and held the generous ingredients without break or leaking. Came for takeout about 30 minutes before close and was surprised there weren't any tables to sit at, seemed to be just a big kitchen with a pickup table. It was also hard to locate from outside and could use better signage. As a large order came in before I arrived, I had to wait 20 minutes for mine to be made so perhaps call ahead for the best ordering experience. I came to use my RI Food Fight Taco Passport, and after visiting about 15 local taco shops, El Jefe was without a doubt the best in Rhode Island hands down so do yourself a favor and give them a try.

AMAZING tacos! I ordered the birria tacos and 1 chorizo taco. I was surprised potatoes were in the chorizo taco but wow. The taco was amazing, my fav. The birria tacos had a bit of a kick for my liking but they tasted very good.
