👍👍 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. People often mention good, tacos,

    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.

    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!

    I was craving a good burrito so I searched up some places this popped up! My bf got four boom carnitas tacos and 1/2 beef nachos the portions are perfect! I got chicken burrito with everything in it! I also asked for two different hot sauces the black container was good spice! Horchata was good!

    This is not a typical sit-down restaurant, it’s more of a take-out type environment that you can eat at if you want to type of vibe. The burritos were good but some of the asada was inedible because it was so tough and chewy I had to spit it out. It wasn’t the highest quality but I mean what can you expect for $11. I would eat here again now that I know what to expect! It wasn’t bad, but wasn’t great.

    I guess you can't sit and eat when it's an hour from closing... the food (in my car) was so-so.... I don't think I will come back... I'd hate to be a burden.

    Been coming here often, it’s a great place to get tacos, burritos, nachos and tortas. Service is always fast and friendly, very cool to have a place like this in Faribault

    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.
