El Jefe's Taqueria Is Opening by Boston University

A small group of Mexican restaurants with three locations in the Boston area may be opening a fourth locally, and this one will apparently cater to college students.

According to a hearing page within the City of Boston website, El Jefe's Taqueria is planning to open by Boston University, with the proposed Commonwealth Avenue spot being on one floor with two levels and including a dining room. If approved, the new outlet of the eatery would join others by Symphony Hall and Emerson College along with one in Cambridge's Harvard Square, while three others can also be found in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

The address for the new El Jefe's Taqueria is 957 Commonwealth Avenue, Boston, MA, 02215. The website for all locations is at https://www.eljefestaqueria.com/

[April 5 update: The website for the business states El Jefe's Taqueria is now open by BU.]
