El Jefe We are a farm to table Mexican restaurant located in Denver's historic Sunnyside neighborhood. We believe in doing things the right way. Nothing is wasted.
(265)

Our menu is inspired by the Mexican regions of Yucatรกn, Oaxaca, and Veracruz. We strive to respect the influences and traditions of these diverse cultures to bring you food that is uniquely El Jefe. Not because itโ€™s trendy or cool, but because itโ€™s right. We change our menu with the grow season, supporting our neighbors and the terroir of Colorado. We are not your average Mexican joint, rather a reflection of our environment and beliefs. We hand make our tortillas every day. All of our pork comes from one whole hog. Our chefs breakdown the whole animal, for chorizo, appetizers, stocks, soups, and entrees. We do this out of respect for the animal and for the people who raised them for us. Anything we can produce in our kitchen is done by us, with love. No frills, just good food.
