Jefe is one of our comfort spots: great food, delicious cocktails, and absolutely amazing staff. The vibes are top notch and never fail to get us to loosen our shoulders and just enjoy the experience. Special events, celebrations, girls/guys night out, or an intimate meal - I'd recommend Jefe for any experience.

This spot on Main Street has a truly special atmosphere, especially in the outdoor seating area, which adds a great vibe to the experience. The service was excellent, with friendly staff who made us feel right at home. The food was delicious and well-prepared, though I felt the prices were a bit on the higher side. Overall, it’s a lovely place to enjoy a meal and relax – highly recommend for a nice night out!

Visiting St. Anthony Main is like traveling to some quaint European village. We sat on the patio of Jefe to celebrate our anniversary. Great place to people watch and get a view of downtown Minneapolis. The food was delicious, of course, but the star of the meal was the dessert. I always appreciate a restaurant that offers gluten-free or friendly options other than swapping out bread on a sandwich. We each had an entree and shared the dessert - that was enough for me. Although, we had to take a secondary stop for my husband as he was still hungry.

Everything was good here! We enjoyed our margaritas, birria tacos, and enchiladas. None of the food blew us out of the water but it was all really solid. Service was a bit slow on a Thursday night with a full patio. I’d definitely recommend a visit for the great patio scenery and tasty tacos.

3.7 stars Jefe looks amazing inside, and the staff was very helpful and attentive. Typically, seating outside in summer has a wait but there are plenty of seats inside available for immediate seating. Menu is not expansive by any means. I got the fried tortillas that they use for chips and the three different salsas. The mango habanero changed my life and was by far the highlight of my entire meal. The shrimp tacos were underwhelming and very basic at $6 per taco. The plantains were hot and delicious. Overall, it was an okay meal with sprinkles of great here and there.
