Absolutely incredible sushi! I was a bit skeptical going in, but they impressed me in every way. The rolls are packed with high quality ingredients and it's prepared well. 10/10 I will be back.

I thought there was no good Mexican places in Tempe until I found El Jefe. This is one of the best burritos I've had in my life. No picture of the Munchies burrito but TRUST ME it's the best one you'd wanna try. The Al Pastor tastes heavenly and it melts in your mouth. The cheese sauce and the fries just complement each others putting the whole burrito together. I also tried the shrimp burrito and it was another 10/10. This is definitely lighter than the Munchies but it's fresh. The cabbage and the white sauce with the grilled shrimp, simple yet healthy and flavorful option. I refuse to eat a burrito anywhere else. They were also so busy with takeout orders which means people know what's up. It's a good place to get a GOOD burrito. Looking forward to the next time I get to indulge into one of their burritos!

What a dream come true this place serves tacos and sushi!!! Went yesterday (10/11/24) around 330pm and it was really dead but I'm sure once everyone gets off work this place is packed! It's also very clean and soooo many tables! Even an outside patio. I got the 4 taco plate with pastor, green dragon and caterpillar roll. I did get them to go as well and didnt wait long either. I'm sure if I had eaten there, the rolls would have been a 10/10! I was a little skeptical about the sushi but even when I got home, delicious! The star of the show was the tacos with adding their green salsa!!! Next time I go back I'm definitely trying everything birria!

I love to order delivery/takeout from here! I can get sushi AND tacos! Their quesa birria tacos are some of the best in Tempe and the sushi is always fresh! I've gone in a couple of times to dine in and the vibe always feels very chill! The staff are super friendly and willing to do any revisions for picky eaters.
