A little about this place
About Taqueria El Chefe
Taqueria El Chefe is a small, family-run Mexican taqueria at 2316 27 Avenue NE, built around birria and billing itself as halal Mexican street food. The menu covers birria tacos with consommé for dipping, birria quesadillas, birria pizza and birria ramen, plus carne asada, steak and chicken tacos, esquites, a gluten-free keto birria taco and cheesecake for dessert. The dining room is tiny and much of the trade is takeout and delivery, so waits of 30 minutes or more are common at busy times. It closes Sunday and Monday and can sell out before closing on busy nights.
