Taqueria El Jefe - Mexican restaurant in Faribault - 318 Central Ave N, USA

My friend and wife and I started this evening at a "nicer class" restaurant, and found ourselves so dissatisfied with things that we had to leave and came to El Jefe. Let me tell you, I have never been more well served by such wonderful people in my entire life. We were all treated above and beyond anything we hoped to be. It was my friend's birthday, and he came all the way from Albert Lea to enjoy his weekend here. They were extremely friendly and kind and generous. Not to mention, their food is amazing. They even brought him a huge bowl of ice cream (not typical) to help us celebrate him for his birthday. They have always been great to eat with, but I have never loved a restaurant and their staff more than this. We had a blast and could tell that they loved what they do. Thanks, Boss!

Place is clean,service was fast. Food is good. Man the nachos are cheap N good for $5. All this food for $21, 2 tacos are missing due to my stomach. This size is a medium nacho but enough for 3 portion size. Meat was pretty good and fresh. I also got 3 sauces as well. Street tacos are good as well. I love the fact that they have a topping bar, I got a whole extra container for free and to make the food better. Thank You! Update: I've never had a Birra taco and this changed my life. Oh my dammm it was so good. It's a taco that grilled with cheese and meat in it. You take your taco and dip it in the red sauce and it will change your life, if you like Pineapple eat a few pieces with it for a sweet and sour taste to it, it's free at the topping bar.You're welcome.

Got the carne azada tacos and carnitas tacos on a Tuesday and they were excellent. Asked for extra limes and they did not disappoint. The sauces were good as well. Will try the birria tacos on a weekend soon 👍🏻

I had the boom tacos with chorizo and carnitas and my husband had fajita quesadilla. It’s a thing 😀. The food was Incredible and the staff helpful and kind. I highly recommend this for authentic Mexican food. Entire meal: $25. Will def visit again.

I’ve tried several tacos places in Minnesota, and this is one of my favorites. Tortillas are fresh - not fried, and the meat is cooked perfectly - not dry. They give you a generous amount of meat and have great service.

Crazy good food and really good value. Portions are huge. Food tasted very fresh and authentic. Salsas had a great flavor and freshness. Definitely would come back.

I got the Pizza Birria and it was so good and such a good price! The staff was very nice. Would come again!

Very good food, decent portions . I can definitely say their food is authentic. The service is always good and friendly 👏🏼👍🏻👌
