          Overall
          The Best & Most Authentic in Newark or Kennett!

          We go to El Jefe 2-3 times per month. The food is always delicious. Every meal we have tried has been wonderfully flavorful and rich. The spicy dishes are authentically spicy... no blanding down for the American palate here! We have been to the Taqueria in Kennett numerous times, but the meals are not as evenly tasteful there. (The only exception is the green salsa). The only complaint I have with El Jefe is that the service is incredibly slow on drinks and drink refills. (even on the alcohol, which you would think they'd realize would make them more money?!) If you are ordering spicy food, get water to stand next to your magarita!
