El Jefe - Leña y Mar 1271 North Lake Street, Aurora, IL 60506

"Thursday Date Night. The food here was DELICIOUS. I forget what my dish was called but it was something like Devil Shrimp. Soooo good. Just the right amount of spicy heat. My husband ordered a steak and really enjoyed it. I initially found the restaurant to be a bit loud due to the overhead music but it wasn't so loud I couldn't have a conversation."

"Ambience- was a Warm and inviting look. Excellent atmosphere Even the sizzle of the arechera was amazing and the kitchen set up was unique Cleanliness-very Clean place overall. Outside inside and seating area was great. Menu- everything you would expect all your Mexican favorites . Presentation-was great finished look. Nice job looked delicious. Price- above average Taste- 5 stars very authentic Service-was great the Drinks!!! Absolutely worth it"

"I visited the El Jefe Drag Brunch and I was very pleased. The energy in the place is amazing. The Brunch prices and portions are fair and the service is good. Service didn't get 5 stars because of the way food and drinks are delivered. The staff walks around asking, "who ordered this?" and they should know. It might be acceptable for one or two items but not the entire order. I did enjoy my time there and hope to be back!"

"It was amazing! The staff was very friendly and attentive! If you have a birthday they all come out and sing! Its an awesome view outside but inside is breathtaking they have a chair to take pictures in! not only the views but the food and drinks were amazing 10/10 I got enchiladas de camaron the sauce on in was spectacular! I got the beso de sandia drink was strong and sweet just how I like it! Everything overall was a pretty awesome experience here! we did make a reservation there is alot of free parking space around the building! definitely coming back I love this place! We had reservations for 9:30pm and we got there at 9 they let us in! the vibe is good at this time!"

"Wow, just wow! The food and drinks were simply amazing! We had guacamole for an appetizer. My friend had a creamy/cheezy seafood mix served in a pineapple. I had a fire roasted octopus. We also had the Mexican corn and a couple of fun and delicious drinks that were smoking and bubbling. I don't know how they did that! Everything tasted amazing! My only tiny complaint was the DJ was quite loud and playing club type music for it being so early in the evening (we were there from 5 to 6:30)."
