The Chinatown/South Cove Neighborhood Council discussed a proposed restaurant opening Feb. 18 at Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association.

El Jefe’s Taqueria will open in March at 80 Boylston Street, the Little Building of Emerson College, said founder and co-owner John Schall. He is applying for a common victualler license to serve food and will not apply for a beer and wine license.

“Everything is made fresh in our kitchen,” Schall said. “It’s all from authentic Mexican recipes from our chef.”

This is the third location to open, with taquerias in Harvard Yard and Bethlehem, Penn. Schall selected areas around universities to offer college students late-night food options. The Boston location’s planned hours are 8 a.m. to 2 a.m. Monday to Sunday, pending licensing board approval.

Schall is also the founder of Fire + Ice, with locations in Massachusetts and California.
