El Jefe’s Taqueria, a fast-growing quick-service restaurant known for its authentic Mexican street food, has trusted Auburn Construction as its exclusive Boston-area construction partner since 2019. Since that time, we have delivered all five of El Jefe’s Boston-area locations—each built through negotiated contracts and tailored to meet the brand’s bold, energetic style and demanding operational needs.
Auburn Construction understands the pace and precision required to bring successful quick-service restaurant (QSR) projects to life in high-traffic, urban settings. From Harvard Square to Kenmore Square, our team has consistently delivered fully functional, code-compliant, and visually vibrant restaurant spaces on time and within budget. Our repeat work with El Jefe’s is a direct reflection of our reliability, quality craftsmanship, and deep familiarity with foodservice construction in Boston’s fast-paced regulatory and logistical environment.
Each project involved detailed coordination of restaurant-specific elements—from millwork and finish installations to complex MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing) modifications—all while navigating fire protection and life safety upgrades to meet local code requirements. Auburn’s team has helped El Jefe’s expand its brand while maintaining the consistent look, feel, and function that define the guest experience.
Auburn Construction is proud to support El Jefe’s Taqueria’s expansion across Boston and remains committed to building spaces that bring their brand and flavor to life—one location at a time.
