The menu seems sparse at first, but the choices of fillings expand it quite a bit. The pulled beef Quesabirria was fresh and hot off the grill. The accompanying beef soup, which they make themselves as well was fantastic. There is an article from the Faribault Daily News on the opening in Sept 2023: https://www.newsbreak.com/faribault-mn/3234262550790-100-authentic-mexican-restaurant-opens-in-downtown-faribault The second trip was pulled Fajitas, wonderful again. The corn and beens were hot and tasty. The seasoned rice was not clumpy or bland. The pulled beef was accompanied by just the right amount of melted cheese that itenhanced rather than overwhelmed the tortillas. The store seeting is basic, tables and chares. You can order and pay at the register and pick up your food at the counter if you can't wait for the wait staff to bring it to your table or have takeout. Photos are from article in link.

I know there is some Hispanic presence in town, and this was recommended. We were seated immediately, and of course tortilla chips and salsa followed shortly thereafter. Chips were good; light and flavorful. Salsa was a bit thin, and perhaps could have used a bit more heat, but was a good starter. I opted for the Fajitas Guadalajara, for a couple reasons. I wanted a sampler of their various proteins, and fajitas, sans tortillas/rice/beans, are a favorite leftover of mine for a great morning scramble. All the meats were tender and full of flavor, though the shrimp may have been a touch over. I would have also preferred a bit more char on the peppers and onions, also, but everything else was spot on. Barb and I also split a pitcher of strawberry margaritas, which finished the meal off perfectly. We also had a nice view of a passing thunderstorm from our window booth.

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.

This has never stopped me from going in and getting some soft shell taco's though! With the remodel, it seems more welcoming and overall it seems like there are more people there when I visit nowadays. I keep it simple with a #3 Two soft shell tacos, small ole (with extra seasoning), and a small soda. Instead of putting the ole inside the taco shell (it gets soggy) I like to dip my taco in the hot sauce and then put an ole on top of each bite individually. This keeps each bite nice and crunchy! I wish these were in more locations around the metro area! I guess it's just a treat when I visit Faribault!
