El Jefe Cocina & Bar is a restaurant in South Minneapolis serving a fusion of Mexican and Latin cuisine. We use traditional Mexican recipes and add a modern twist to make them our own. Through a variety of sized plates and craft cocktails, guests will be able to share in our chef’s love for his heritage.

Chef Miguel Urrutia started El Jefe with his first food truck in 2014 and opened his brick & mortar restaurant in 2018. Miguel grew up in Mexico where his curiosity and interest in cooking began. He had the opportunity to work in several well-known restaurants prior to branching out on his own. These experiences and training have added culinary tools to his arsenal of knowledge allowing him to create savory vibrant flavored dishes and memorable experiences for all.
