Originally from Las Vegas, I LOVE Mexican food, and I've eaten a lot of really good Mexican food in…read moremy life. Driving from Des Moines back home to Bemidji, we stopped in Albert Lea and decided to give 1910 Fresh Mexican a chance. This place is the real deal. I had the Al Pastor Tacos with beans and rice and the Avocado Sauce and husband had the Barbacoa Dipping Tacos with beans, rice and Brava Sauce. The beans were seasoned perfectly, creamy and delicious (something I always judge.) the rice was fresh, flavorful and not too salty. The barbacoa and Al pastor, both, were high quality, perfectly cooked, tender, and absolutely delicious. Service was awesome. The owner was cooking and wiping down tables and making sure everyone loved their food - and we certainly did. We come through often, and now I won't dread the drive! Fantastic!

There is a vegetarian menu on the far right side of the board, but it's very bean and rice heavy. Ugh! They've lost a couple of regulars with that me up change. And, because we're usually with a couple others when out and about, they've lost them too. Guess it'll be the King, Taco King, from now on.

Nice downtown storefront location. Nice decor. Very friendly staff. Based on other reviews,…read moreeveryone seems to love this place and I understand why now. There are many comments about the pork burrito smothered with white sauce. I must have ordered the wrong thing, because mine was smothered the green tomatillo sauce that's often served on pork. No problem though, because it was delicious. The only problem was that there was sauce all over most of the rice and beans. Almost burying the thing that impressed me the most: The BEANS! In a world where you have been conditioned to just push your rice into your beans and eat them alongside the entrée, these beans are amazing. A little smoke. A gentle heat on the back of your tongue. I took an order home and after reheating, they make an outstanding dip on tortilla chips.

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.

Service was outstanding…read more Chicken fajitas were fantastic (we're usually not fans of white meat but they did a great job keeping the chicken juicy and tender!) Shrimp fajitas were great and the mushrooms were the top tier. The spicy salsa was awesome and had a decent bite! The restaurant itself is cozy with a home feel. Couldn't be happier with our experience.
