Jefe’s Taco and Tequila New to Brookehaven, Jefe’s has quickly become a neighborhood favorite. Their most famous taco is actually a vegetarian option- their fried avocado taco.  They use rice flour on the avocado, which makes it crunchier than other avocado tacos we’ve tried. It also comes with a special sauce that gives it tons of flavors. No matter what you order, we highly recommend adding this taco to your list.
