The Texas toast on my Patty Melt was excellent with great sauce as well. Coffee was reasonably priced at $2.5 per cup and was extra hot with various choices of cream and flavored cream. Bonus, they offer free refill on coffee! You go Janna! Thanks for being tasty and customer friendly. I recommend you give Janna's Market Grill a try for breakfast, brunch, lunch, or to go order.

Personally would not recommend. Prefer the ribeye over Porterhouse. Manager did give us a discount due to over cooked steak.

We sat in the bar area and our server immediately greeted us and brought water. I didn't catch her name but she was excellent, continuously checking on us throughout our meal. Our server went over the menu and we went with her recommendation of Lucy Burgers and Tater Tots since this is their specialty. We didn't try the beer since we had a long haul ahead of us. I chose the Pickle Lucy and my husband chose the classic. He added lettuce and tomato and I added tomato. Both burgers were big, gooey, delicious and cooked perfectly. The tater tots were huge stuffed with cheese and bacon but not crispy like traditional Tator tots. This was a bit of a bummer but they were flavorful. I'm glad we stopped in and tried Crooked pint Ale House.

The outside is not much to look at but inside is cozy. There is plenty of room for a large group. It looks like the evening crowd would like to stop here for a late snack and a beverage, there are plenty of TVs and games to play. We just missed a lunch buffet with salad and pizza so we ordered off the menu. The food was good and we were pleasantly surprised. We were not able to try the pizza as they appeared to be known for so if we are ever back in town that will be a must try. The lady that served us seemed to be the only one helping customers because we saw a couple more but they were just sitting at a table wrapping silverware I believe. Therefore I would not fault her for being a little slow. She was polite and very helpful. We would come back.

Was greeted with smiling faces right when we walked in! We had Elizabeth as our server and she was genuinely nice, and took her time to make sure we had the best experience ever. She ALWAYS checked back in on us to see if we needed anything, to refill waters if needed. She always had a bright smile on her face, and treated all customers with respect. She engaged to have conversations with you, asked how your day was going! The food was, nice and hot when it came out and exactly what we asked for! The food tasted AMAZING. We have 4 kids and most of them are picky but leaving this restaurant they ate things that they loved and said they we would eat again! Elmade sure my kids were happy and got the food they wanted. If you guys are looking for a place to eat when in Fairbault I would head over to 1st of Thai and eat there. The overall of the place was super clean, felt nice and warm walking in there! Nice a spacious, where you don't feel all crammed and close to others. The light in there was perfect, not too dark and not too bright. The temperature was perfect!

Spying 1st of Thai in our search along I-35 we stopped in for dinner. Located in a small strip of stores, the interior is non pretentious, plenty of tables of different sizes. The window drapery has an Asian feel giving a minimal sense of exotic. Asian music softly plays over the speakers giving one a sense of culture. We ordered the Param Longsam #34a, and the Tom Kha #17. The dishes come with rice and were generous proportions. I will say the dishes were pretty good and recommend stopping by for something different.

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.
