The service is some of the best I've had in a really long time as well. They have a full bar, the full agave menu (and happy hour menu that I believe is all day) and the Suttino's pizza menu. I'm not sure how they can fit that many ingredients in one kitchen, but they do, and for that I'm thankful. The cowboy corn bites are to die for. They come out with an internal temperature similar to molten lava so be warned, but oh my word. I could eat these every single day and never get sick of them. The nacho's are some of my favorite in the area and I like that they layer the ingredients, be sure to dig a little before you fill up on the top layer of chips as most of the goodies are hidden in the second layer. The kitchen fries are worth ordering and come with a garlic aioli, but I prefer the chipotle mayo that comes with the corn nuggets with the fries. Suttino's jalapeño popper pizza is sooooo yummy. I've ordered it twice and one had a lot less toppings, but if you request they aren't shy on the toppings it will be your new favorite if you're into that type of thing. The sausage and mushroom pizza wasn't crazy saucy so if you like sauce, maybe ask for more? The chicken bacon ranch was also killer. All in all, one of my new favorites in the area. Worth a stop and I always thought it was a to go burrito and taco shop based on the name, but now you know.

They had a great taco special for $1.35, which was a steel also got the two Timmy's plate the fish taco with corn tortillas and the Carne Asada burrito. All the food was great like a fish taco was a little bland. Got the wrong kind of salsa on it so it wasn't a ton of flavor. Portions were generous prices were very reasonable. We'll definitely be back here. Parking was simple. Only downside was the service was lacking - took a while to be acknowledged but not a deal breaker. Interior had plenty of space for eating with a couple TVs. Would recommend for good cheap Mexican!

I enjoy spicy but it was very tolerable with a nice kick. I'd say 7/10 on the heat.

Loved that some entrees came with chips and guac. The spicy sauce that came with was very spicy so be careful but so delicious. The horchata was a bit disappointing, I've had it before but forgot what it was like, it just tasted like a sweet milk. No cinnamon taste. But it was still delicious. So easy to order at the kiosk. There are only a couple tables in the gas station if you want to eat in otherwise most people just take out. Few tables were set up outside too. The gas station is filled with drinks and snacks so it's easy to browse for extras while you wait for your food. It's a literal hole in the wall inside this gas station. I only wish the hours were better, whenever we get a craving for this it's always closed so we have to take advantage when they are open. Can't wait to try their other locations.

I thought everything here was pretty standard in terms of what I could expect from a taco place,…read morewith the biggest pleasant surprise as having a lot of birria options to choose from. I tried many of their birria dishes and, for the most part, liked what I had. Some of my favorites are the birria torta and the birria mulita, both of which had not only a good amount of meat but also cheese that were burned enough to give that crispy and the salty flavor. Oh, and having avocado in the torta was really nice. I didn't enjoy the birria ramen as much because the broth was extremely salty so it was only possible for me to eat the noodles. I thought that more noodles would be needed to neutralize the flavor. Overall I would still recommend this place, and it's good to know that they have multiple locations in various areas of the Twin Cities metro, including their Eat Street Crossing store, which has been quite popular!

We came on a cool Saturday evening, and their menudo and pozole hit the spot. The first bite of the pozole won me over. The pork was melt-in-your-mouth tender, and the broth was subtly spicy. The menudo was also good, oilier and spicier. Next to the cash register was a self-serve salsa bar that lent a warm, hospitable vibe to the place. In addition to salsa, it had fresh lettuce, onions, cilantro, and cucumbers. A real plus for those of us who want vegetables! The soups, available only on weekends, come with crisp tostadas heaped with fresh lettuce, tomato, and cheese (cotija, I think). The tostadas were quite filling, and we ended up taking some of the soup home. The staff were friendly and helpful. El Jefe opens up into a commercial space including a bathroom shared by other businesses. The bathrooms were well marked and very clean. El Jefe had everything I wanted for a warm and healthy evening meal. I'll definitely be back.

I've enjoyed food at this location since its days as The Cheese Cave (see my very first yelp…read morereview.) Well, now it is occupied by El Jefe, which began as a food truck and upgrade to restaurant a few years back. Where The Cheese Cave offered contemporary pizza and grilled cheese recipes (ingredients sourced from the titular local Faribault Cheese Caves), El Jefe connects Faribault diners to the traditional cuisine of a Mexican taqueria!!! I have been here an upwards of 10 times over the past two years and always leave satisfied and smiling. Ambiance is very basic, but the food and staff make up for it. My recommendation: stick with the tacos (traditional, classic) or indulge in their fabulous cheese nachos (probably not authentic, but what a treat). Taco ordering walkthrough: 1. How many tacos (3 is filling for me but can eat much more...) 2. Choose meat. I recommend the Al Pastor. All are good though (tripitas is cow stomach lining, but it's good if you're ok with it). 3. They'll ask if you want toppings (raw onion, cilantro and fresh lime). Say "yes." 4. Don't forget to ask for a Jarritos or a Mexican Coke! (I may get sparkling water, which is healthy and refreshing...) 5. Select sauces (multiple). Less spicy to the left. The green salsa is very accessible - not too spicy, quite tangy. 6. Seat yourself Eating at El Jefe is to enjoy very warming, comforting food. And experimenting with different salsas will be enough to please any foodie. This is top two restaurants in Faribault for sure. Taco aficionados ... will probably be relieved to find a good taco fix in the area! But nothing next-level e.g: no regional specialties, not much beyond the standard beef-pork-chicken meats, not a lot of topping variety (no radishes, pineapple); I don't think the tortillas are made fresh (but they are warm and fragrant of course). These are all the sorts of things that might make a 9/10 taco joint a 10/10. El Jefe isn't best tacos of your life or anything, but they are great tacos and one of the best Faribault restaurants.
