El Jefe Salem

It was a perfect night to eat out side, that?s why I chose this place. It took the waiter about 15 minutes to finally get to us. It took about 30 minutes for us to get our drinks. He said that there was a computer glitch that kept our order from going all the way through. And some other person came over to let us know that there was a problem. Our taco order was messed up, one taco was ice cold and I sent it back and we didn?t get everything we ordered. It took about an hour and a half for our simple meal of tacos, chips and sides. The waiter apologize profusely saying they were in a transition and they were not ready. The other person said that there was some computer upgrade that made them lose these three tables. In my mind if you knew you had a problem you should?ve kept checking on us and verifying. Only when I mentioned that we should get a comp did we get a couple of things taken off of our bill. The waiter said this won?t be El jefe for long it?s supposed to be a different restaurant. We had a lot of patience because I know restaurants are having problems with staff right now but this was really something the manager should?ve come over and apologized profusely and done just a little bit more. The best thing was the cucumber margarita.

Great food and amazing service. The prices were very reasonable and they had amazing drinks. I love that they have barbecue on Sundays but they also had some barbecue specials on Monday. Would definitely come back here, it was so comfy.

The food was pretty good. Chicken sandwich felt a little generic, but tacos and chips we had were good.

Sunday brunch outside in August. Not busy. Minimum staff. Slowly on beverage orders. Coffee brewed to order, pods. **** Mary, good, sharp. Egg sandwich was delicious. Potatoes, yes. Omelet lacked avocado and salsa. Asked for Salsa, ate slowly, eventually managers might have brought, but had 2 bites on record, he commented how the salsa must be late. Many later servers returned, we mentioned salsa too late he said there would be no additional fee...remembers the menu displayed, it would have to come both avocado mash and salsa. He said he was sorry. He was waiting for the ticket. Blah experience... too bad, nice atmosphere and delicious breakfast sandwich.

Really good place to come and grab drinks and chips and dip. They also have a great full menu from tacos to BBQ. Service was not bad and the staff was friendly. This place is very clean, and it?s cool how El Jefe is part of West Salem BBQ. It?s the best of both worlds! Love y?all ?
