Downtown State College has a new option for Mexican food.
El Jefe’s Taqueria opened this weekend at 352 E. Calder Way., on the ground floor of the Here State College high-rise.
Open for breakfast, lunch, dinner and late-night dining, El Jefe’s offers tacos, burritos, bowls, quesadillas, salads, soups and sides.
El Jefe’s Taquerias boast that all toppings — from guacamole to roasted vegetables to plantains and more — come at no extra charge.
“Everything is made in house and the only thing that comes in a jar are the 50 different picante sauces,” according to the El Jefe’s website.
The State College location is El Jefe’s second in Pennsylvania, with the other in Bethlehem. The restaurant was founded in 2015 in Cambridge, Massachusetts’ Harvard Square. It also has two locations in Boston and another planned for New Brunswick, New Jersey.
Hours for El Jefe’s in State College are listed as 8 a.m.-4 a.m. daily.
The fast-casual restaurant is the first commercial tenant of the 12-story mixed-use Here complex, which opened last August on the site of the former Garner Street parking lot. The first two levels have 30,000-square-feet of space designated for retail and dining establishments.
