We would like to thank the wonderful community of Murray Hill and all of our customers for their support.”
Ownership declined to give a reason for the closure.
El Jefe features Tex-Mex cuisine, specializing in puffy tacos and freshly made margaritas.
Schwartz previously owned 29 South Restaurant in Fernandina Beach.
He was part of the Bullbriar Restaurant LLC group that had planned to operate in the Marble Bank building Downtown after it was renovated. The group dissolved the LLC in 2020.
