Taqueria El Jefe

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.

This is the best Mexican food in Faribault, and Faribault has a pretty good selection of Mexican food. There is a nice balance of authenticity and catering to the diverse local crowd. They have the edge of the others in terms of quality, fresh preparation, flavor, and still maintain generous servings and a high value.

This is the place! Don't look elsewhere in Faribault for authentic Mexican food Portions were huge, prices amazing, staff amazing also!

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.

Stopped here while in town shopping. The food was great with a large variety of choices. Portions were huge, very happy with this stop! Lots of fresh veggies and overall a good experience.

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!
