Carl Casper (Jon Favreau), a once celebrated Michelin-Starred chef, has come to a crossroads in life. After working in a lavish LA restaurant for the past ten years he feels he needs a creative change. His controlling boss Riva (Dustin Hoffman) refuses Carl’s idea of a new tasting menu for food critic Ramsay Michel (Oliver Platt), resulting in a bad review for the restaurant. Carl then turns to social media to vent his anger at his boss, ultimately quitting the job he loves.

After leaving his job, Carl is convinced by his ex-wife Inez (Sofia Vergara) to return to his hometown of Miami. He hopes to re-establish a relationship with his son, Percy (Emjay Anthony) and rediscover his love of the culinary arts. One night after dining out at a Cuban restaurant, Inez and Carl reconnect.

Inez’ first ex-husband, Marvin (Robert Downey Jr) takes pity on Carl and offers him an old run down food truck. Carl accepts this and restores the truck, giving it new life. He names it ‘El Jefe’. With the help of his son and longtime friend Martin (John Leguizamo), Carl cooks up and serves Cuban sandwiches, known as ‘Cubanos’.

With hope in his heart, Carl decides to take the food truck around the country. Not only does he want his food truck business to become successful, Carl wants to connect with his son on a deeper level.
