Pretty good

The chips and salsa here are delicious!! They have really great drinks as well including non-alcoholic drinks and mocktails, which I appreciate. The vegetarian/vegan tacos are okay. I like them overall, but they are not amazing in my opinion. The jackfruit one is pretty flavorless and the others are just spicy with no other flavor. Sometimes the food would be cold as well. Maybe more of an apps/drinks place

Pros: Great drinks, Good chips

Cons: Meh quality

Been frequenting Jefe's since they opened bc they had excellent food and marga. But in the past 6 months I have found Jefe's street tacos to contain just a dollop of food, certainly not like their photos that are presented as they were since they opened. Those days are long gone as well as their Margs which you can barely taste, see or feel any tequila in them. I can have 3 nowadays and not feel a thing. They taste like a thick lemon-lime ade, at best I get heart burn from them lol!
Their staff still rocks as well as their nachos, so far. But the rest of the food has gone down hill in taste. Their Chili Rellenos are stuffed with raw crunchy chili's, and their enchiladas and sauce very unsatisfactory. Granted this is not authentic Mexican food and that's fine, but their chefs and food have gone to, um... too much pot maybe? Will stick to beer from now on...

Pros: Beer, Rockin staff, Nachos

Cons: Chef's have gone to pot, Food taste and portions has gone downhill, Margs barely have alcohol in them anymore

Disappointment

My husband and I ordered the taco Tuesday special platter with 7 squashacado and 8 bangin cauliflower tacos. The squashacado is supposed to consist of diced butternut squash roasted in Mexican spices with fresh avocado, cilantro crema, pico de gallo and roasted pepitas. The bangin cauliflower is supposed to consist of cauliflower fried in rice flour tempura with a sriracha citrus glaze, fresh basil and pico de gallo. Our order included chips and salsa. We personally didn’t like the chips and salsa as the chips are really thick and the salsa just tasted of tomato and not much else. Upon opening the taco platter I was very disappointed to see that the only things in there were the tortillas, the cauliflower and the squash. Of course we asked them to make it vegan so they didn’t include the crema, but we were missing all of the toppings they should’ve included like the pico de gallo, the avocados and the pepitas. We still tried a taco with just the squash and just the cauliflower. The squash just tasted like sweet butternut squash. Whatever Mexican spices they supposedly used were nonexistent. The cauliflower did have some sauce and basil but it was barely a drizzle and certainly didn’t coat all of it. All in all we were very disappointed, and I hate that we wasted $30 for nothing. I’m honestly not sure why they get such good reviews, maybe mainly because of the margaritas and which we haven’t tried. When it comes to flavor though the food we had was severely lacking, so if I were you I’d seek out tacos elsewhere.

Cauliflower and squash!

Jefes was so good! Lots of vegan options. First, straight up vegan options are marked on the menu as such. Examples are the escabeche (house-pickled jicama, carrot, jalapeño & onion) or chips guac or salsa.

Second, many of their tacos and burritos can be made vegan with a choice of vegetable (squash, cauliflower, avocado). We had the street tacos with squash and The Legend burrito with the cauliflower (no cheese). Any burrito can also be turned into a chimichanga (fried up and topped with guacamole & pico de gallo). Best choice we made. It was like a big burrito wonton. The cauliflower/guac/refried beans combination was great, and honestly I keep on thinking about when I can have it again.

The dessert menu had a vegan option of mango sorbet with compote and chile spices. I wasn't that excited for it, but the combination of sweet mango sorbet, with the fruit and spicy chili was surprisingly good.

Some other notes:
- the escabeche is a bit spicy, be aware
- had a pitcher of cucumber marg. It was just okay. Our glasses weren't salted and I think it could have possibly made the flavors a bit more complex.

Delicious

Not sure why these reviews aren't higher! All of the (delicious) tacos can be made vegan. The prices are also fair.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Yummy, Fair prices

Yum!

This place has vegan tacos, sides and desserts! We ate like 3-4 tacos each and it was delicious. Get the squashacado taco without the sauce and you will be in heaven. They have a bar area of various hot sauces you can take and try at your table too. The liquor and drinks are the best in the area for anything with tequila. Highly recommend this place!

Pros: Lots of options for vegans, Excellent food, Friendly staff

Cons: Can be noisy , Can be crowded certain times

Ok that's it

I was excited after seeing a number of good reviews on different sites. The tacos are tiny and they were flavorless and I tried four of them. I had to add a spicy sauce to give them some flavor. Very disappointed. :-(

Cons: Small portion sizes - pricey for what you get, Tasteless food

Delicious vegan tacos

Very good vegan tacos, and beans and starters.

Pros: Nice to have more vegan options in Longmont.

Cons: Limited options.
