It had been 26 years since something from Jimboy's had hit the menu and did I miss those parmesan tacos no not really. The free one from the app only served as a reminder I like real Mexican Tacos not real American Tacos. I will say I fell in love with Taco Salad with chicken and the Nachos with Carnitas, those will definitely be on my list hopefully without a 25 year wait.

Fair size tacos, which is better than some of the other Jimboy’s I’ve been to! Unfortunately, they still have those little tiny take out salsa containers. I don’t understand that while all the other local Jimboy’s have the next size larger. Very friendly staff, which was nice.

Good food. You won't be disappointed. They have redone the interior recently. They opened it up more, new walls, new tables and chairs, and one of those new style soda machines. Look at my pics and you will see this facelift. While it's not authentic mexican food it has its very own local style to it that will scratch that itch when you need it.
