It's not a bad spot for some tacos and other options, but it's pretty overpriced. The food was tasty and the service was good, but nothing spectacular. Calling this spot "okay" really sums up everything perfectly.
We had to make some last minute changes and reach out to El Jefe to see if they could assist us with our grooms dinner. Everyone was amazing through the whole process and very accommodating. The food was incredible and served fast. Even with the 100 degree weather Miguel made sure we had a great time. Thank you El Jefe!
I’m glad I found this spot it was in a low key area , the Tacos were really good , I enjoyed the margarita flight and the tres leches cake. I think this place is very affordable and worth a visit if you’re in Minneapolis. I will definitely be back soon.
We were struggling to find places that served alcoholic flights, but stumbled across El Jefe. We arrived at 4 PM on a Saturday and were seated immediately. Margarita flights were $29 for four (tangletown, blackberry ginger, tepache, and blood orange mezcal) and we ordered the guacamole with house made chips and a side of queso. Margaritas were the perfect size. Tepache (pineapple) was our favorite and I can’t wait to go back to order it in the full size. Blood orange mezcal was our least favorite; it was very “smoke flavored.” The guacamole was THE BEST ever -- fresh, flavorful, delicious. We usually love queso, but it was very bland. Our server was on top of everything, cheerful, friendly – a delight (thank you, Dayrin!). We’re already planning our next visit to try the street tacos. One negative is their hours – 4-9 PM only.
So happy to have this place back open for the spring. We tried the meat platter last week with a side of rice and beans. Amazing dinner. It says for two, I shared it with four plus an order of chips & guac which was more than enough for us.
I have found my new favorite 😍 I had heard glowing reviews about El Jefe and I was not misled! We had chips, salsa and queso as a starter. Our server was great and was very personable. Would definitely recommend the margarita flight! Mole enchiladas 10/10, the Hawaiian shrimp is a winner! We have plans to be back soon for the brunch!
El Jefe joined us for an event, and the service was fantastic! Despite having a line for almost three hours, they were quick and friendly. I was grateful for vegetarian and gluten free options. I heard great reviews from all around!
We had El jefe food truck for our wedding and they were excellent. Easy to work with before hand and accommodating. The day of, service was quick and everyone loved the food. The biggest hit was the beef nachos. Would hire them again for future events in a heartbeat.

The food here is truly a treat. Highly recommend the lengua taco, and the lamb shank barbacoa was amazingly tender. Recommend coming as a group and sharing so you can try more of these flavors. Can't wait to be back!
Highly recommend this hidden gem for a great deal on the BEST tacos al pastor in Minneapolis. Nachos al pastor is a particularly generous portion (I had already eaten half of it in the photo) and perfect to share. Chips are made fresh in house. Sit a
It was busy on a Saturday night with 3-4 orders before and immediately after mine. The wait to order was short and only about a 10-15 minute wait for food, which felt perfectly reasonable. The prices are fair and the quality and portion sizes are ex
Amazing brunch! Ordered delivery and it was lightning fast for a Saturday morning. Had the egg and hash brown wrap and the blue corn pancakes. Both were really good, and you definitely get your moneys worth with the wrap! Also the tres leches cake wa

Love Lagos! Staff is always super friendly and nice. Always have great recommendations. The traditional margarita is the best. A simple margarita but so so good. I always get the avocado taco, by far my fav. But the ahi tuna and shrimp tacos are als
Review independent of food, since we only got chips/salsa. But this place is definitely worth a stop! See pictures of the HH menu which looks worthwhile. The service was great as well, the selection of tequila and mezcal was encouraging, the patio (b
Iconos was really great! Food was excellent, tons of vegetarian options. Chips and salsa were great, very flavorful and not crazy spicy. I had vegetarian burrito, wife he shrimp tacos. Both gave 10/10. Service was excellent, only real issue was the m

YogaFit is the best!! I never feel judged or insecure like I have in other yoga studios. The teachers are great and each class is different so youâre always learning new exercises. The studio owner is a very nice guy too - they have a late cancella

Best gym ever! I joined Solcana as a newbie to lifting, and my relationship to fitness has totally changed in my year as a member. For the first time in my life, I really look forward to going to the gym! The friendly, nonjudgemental environment and
Awesome place! I have been trying yoga studios around Minneapolis and 612 Jungle is my new favorite. We did the Hip Hop Sculpt class and it was incredible. I also love that they have such an active IG and updated website, it makes it way more comfort
A few months ago I went to Nautical Bowls for the first time (in Maple Grove). I tried the Paddle bowl and literally have not stopped thinking about how good it was. Finally made it back to a Nautical Bowls(this time Edina). Just as delicious as I re
I had a very pleasant experience, the owners (who were okay with me taking the photo and uploading it) were very sweet and accommodating. The meals had a touch of 'home-made' savour that just keeps you going until you are stuffed. The environment was
Letâs just say this is a must spot in the Minneapolis area. Iâm Cuban ð¨ðº and finally after living here for 12 years I finally found a true Cuban food spot! Sorry but âVictorâs 1959 Cafeâ is not it! The Cuban sandwich is perfect! It is
Great teacher, great music, clean studio, challenging and rewarding classes. Always a 10/10! When I go to long without CorePower, I miss it so much. Very happy to be back after the pandemic & love that you're doing the buddy passes so will definitel
We had a fantastic time with 3/4 of our team members doing their first escape room. The person on our team who had done other escape rooms said it was her best experience. Liz was our game master and she was super supportive and encouraging. The next
