El Jefe's Finnieston is a lively Mexican restaurant and bar on Argyle Street, in the heart of one of Glasgow's busiest dining districts. Its long opening hours and upbeat character suit casual lunches, drinks with friends and evenings that stretch beyond the meal itself.

The food menu draws on bold Mexican flavours and a sharing friendly approach. Spiced meats, colourful sides and familiar street food ideas give diners the option of assembling several smaller tastes or choosing a more substantial plate.

Sunday brings the restaurant's distinctive Mexican take on a roast. Slow cooked meats seasoned with warming spices arrive with creamy corn, crisp roast potatoes, caramelised spicy onions and the kitchen's own Yorkshire puddings.

Margaritas are a natural match for the food and remain a central part of the bar offering, alongside other drinks. The combination of robust cooking, a sociable room and a playful Sunday menu gives the Finnieston branch an identity that goes beyond a conventional Mexican meal.

Address: 1166–1170 Argyle Street, Finnieston, Glasgow G3 8TE, Scotland
