Jefe's Cocina — Restaurant in Los Angeles

It's a nice little spot in San Pedro. The staff makes customers feel welcome and even offers a botana free while you wait. There is a wait, but it's for good reason, they're making your food from scratch. We had a pupusa de chicharron con queso, pupusa de frijoles con queso and a taquitos plate. To drink, an agua of cucumber pineapple. The pupusas were delicious, great flavors. Taquitos were bland, not to our liking, we had high expectations though. So we were a bit bummed out. The Agua was a bit too sweet for my liking, but once ice starts melting, it's better.

This is a five star mouth party, a foodie playground that is overlooked or passed by at your sad expense....

Very satisfied with flavors. We got Louisiana Fajita,( Shrimp only), I thought it came with a mix of chicken , steak and shrimp, but it was only shrimp, But it's ok bcs it was tmvery good, great flavor, The Pineapple/Cucumber Agua Fresca one of the best I have had. We also ordered Pupusas and Taquitos, large size corn tortillas. The menu is limited, not a lot of selections, but dishes are well served, big portion and tasty. I love white rice, so for me I would have loved to be able to order some rice on the side for the Fajita order.😉 I wish the owner and his business great success. I def plan on returning for the...
