My family and I absolutely love love this restaurant. The owners and staff are so nice and make you feel so welcome. Their food and drinks are Excellent!! They have a great bar with sports and we love coming here, they treat us like Family! 10 Million Stars!!! read more

It's okey. Nothing was really exciting. Nothing that I would say wow. Food, ambiance, customer service. Restroom wasn't that clean either . It was our first time there and was asking what would be their best food and she said "everything". Was not helpful. We tried. read more

Casa Jimenez - Huge but taste wasn't that good - Mexican Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

Very friendly dining experience as we originally weren't expecting to have lunch here. So it was a pleasant time. The staff were very accommodating and hospitable. The environment was sort of mixed between dining and sports bar, in that they had the TV on. Since it was too crowded it wasn't overly loud. The food was good. I'm not chili Relleno expert, but it was better than most. Although there was a healthy portion of refried beans all over it, so it drowned the taste a bit. The enchilada was good as well. I would go back and try their other dishes, but my mom didn't seem to enjoy her food as much. So maybe this is a mixed review. read more

April 9th, 2026 Today I called this place to ask if I could place an order, and the man who answered the phone was extremely rude. I honestly don't understand how a business can have employees like that and if he's the owner, that's even worse. He hung up on me, and when I called back, I said maybe the call dropped. He replied, "No, I hung up because I don't want to deal with you." If this is how they treat potential customers, I can only imagine how little they care about the food and the people they serve. Very disappointing experience. 9 de abril de 2026 Hoy llamé a este lugar para saber si podía hacer un pedido, y el hombre que contestó el teléfono fue extremadamente desagradable. No entiendo cómo un negocio puede tener empleados así, y si es el dueño, peor aún. Me cortó la llamada, y cuando volví a llamar, le dije que quizás se había caído. Me respondió: "No, yo corté porque no quiero tratar contigo." Si así tratan a los clientes, imaginen cómo manejan la comida y el servicio. Muy decepcionante experiencia. read more

My family and I have been coming to this restaurant once a week for what feels like forever. The food is consistently delicious, the drinks are fantastic, and the value for the price is hard to beat. The staff is always so kind and incredibly patient with my family, which we truly appreciate. I definitely recommend the fajitas and the nachos...both are generous portions, perfect for sharing, and absolutely delicious. Surprisingly, they also have amazing fries that my kids can't get enough of. Needless to say, we'll definitely be back! read more

Go to Tacos Los Cholos or Prime cut taqueria downtown. Even Mario's will beat this overpriced place. This place must be going broke to serve half their portions and raise their prices. I spoke to the owner and he said these are the new portions and did not care that I've been a customer for more than 8 years. No problem, message received. Will never visit this place again! read more

Casa Jimenez - They put a plastic lid in the container and the ceviche on top to make it look like more, $25 for half the portion. Ridiculous! - Mexican Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

Last two visits have been terrible, long wait times for food, a pretty much just being left to sit at the table. Sunday night, stopped in for dinner we were seated right away, chips and salsa arrived ordered drinks and food, then the waiting starts. Food arrives, three orders, two with all rice, no beans, both arrived with all beans no rice, third plate arrives with all beans as well. Still no drinks... Catch the waitress, and she asks "are you sure" Finally drinks arrive, 5 minutes later 2 plates arrive back at table. Get the bill and it showed no rice on all three plates. $135.00 for 3 dinner plates and adult beverages, food tastes good but the lack of service crosses this restaurant off our list. There are much better and less expensive choices in the area. read more

We have been a few times and it was always good. This time service was awful . No chip refill no water refill no margaritas refill sat with empty glasses.. order 2 beef tacos al la carte got 2 mini tacos with a plate full of beans.. very disappointing.. read more

Chips were freshly made, which was a great start. However, the $20 price for a two-cheese enchilada plate felt a bit steep for what you get. The beans seemed watered , likely to stretch portions and lacked flavor, while the red enchilada sauce had good flavor and the rice was good. Overall, the portions were just okay. My wife ordered a carne asada torta and asked to substitute fries for rice or beans, but they wanted to charge extra (which didn't feel right, especially with an $18 plate) Service was also disappointing. At places like Mario's Mexican Restaurant, they're on top of refilling chips and drinks without you having to ask. Here, we had to ask for more chips and didn't receive drink refills ($5 soft drinks). One older female server with gray hair had a noticeably poor attitude, which took away from the experience. This was our first visit, and we were hoping for better service and overall quality. It's not the worst , but it's nowhere near great either. (Super A's )off Fairview by Orange coast college has been our best experience so far with authenticity quality and service . read more

My husband and I were acknowledged when we first arrived, had chips dropped off at our table but that's about it. The guy asked if we wanted drinks but didn't stick around long enough to get our order. We sat and around and watched as the other 2 tables were being served but nobody ever looked our way or returned so we got up and left. It wasn't even busy. We stopped at the front to pay for our chips but will not be returning. read more

I only had tacos and they were excellent. It's a great place to go for Football or any sports on TV . I sat at the bar for a football game and had couple of beers and some tacos. Had a great time. A really cool local hangout as well as a family restaurant. A very friendly family owned restaurant. I will definitely go back! read more

Be aware..... if you have over six people in your group they automatically charge 20% tip!! Unheard of! Service was sub-par to say the least. They didn't bring us water and we had to ask for napkins and utensils. I wasn't packed today and food took forever to come out! What nerve to charge 20% tip on top of the terrible service. Won't be back read more

Ever since I moved to OC I've been looking for good Mexican food. I've finally found a really good spot! I love this Albondigas soup. 10/10 and it comes with a side of Spanish rice! Also the man who helped me at the front desk was very nice! The inside of the restaurant was clean and welcoming. I ordered to go but next time I think I'll eat there. read more

I usually come for lunch and always get the Coctel Cameron. It's solid and decent portion size. It's very refreshing. The service is always friendly and attentive. Family owned place with local games playing, very low key but welcoming. read more

Just a heads up. If you dine here, pay your bill with cash,they charge extra for using your credit card.

In the middle of summer, my pregnancy craving is a good caldo. I came across this restaurant on Yelp and decided to give it a try. First impression- clean restaurant. I ordered albondigas soup and an horchata. Chips and salsa were delicious! Spicy and tastes real Mexican. Albondigas soup was exactly what I was craving. I love all the big chunks of veggies, the side of rice and tortillas. They didn't skimp on the lemon which was great. 9/10 I'll definitely be coming back here! read more

Casa Jimenez - Albondigas - Mexican Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

I've been coming here for a couple of years. Consistently high quality, delicious meals. Everything tastes fresh! Albondigas soup is wonderful, with big pieces of vegetables. Very nice staff, and a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. You can easily watch a game on TV or just enjoy a family meal (the TVs are not too loud). Big menu with lots of options. I will keep coming here -- it never disappoints. read more

What's not impressed my food was cold. I came in at 9:06. Kitchen closes at 9:30. They closed the restaurant at 10. Wouldn't you want to get the best service to someone coming into your restaurant? I ordered a drink. Ordered my food. No one came back to check up on me. It's pretty much on my own like I said my food was cold. I was starving and I just wanted to eat otherwise I would've just got up and laughed and said sorry it's not working out for me. Maybe service is better at another time. Maybe the food is warm or hot at another time but disgusting everyone who serves hot food read more

Hands-down, the worst dining experience I've ever had!!! My food was terrible but my buddies was good so no beef with that... The service was garbage! Terrible attitude and the customer service is non-existent! read more

Came across this pretty decent Mexican joint in the Riip/Home Depot strip mall. We picked up a mixture of some crispy tacos and street tacos with various meats and most were good, some were dry, but all in all pretty happy with the food. Personally, the al pastor was my favorite by far with the carnitas coming up on the very dry side, but carnitas is always pretty hit or miss regardless of where you go. I'll definitely try some of their other items next time. read more

Food was bland. Did not taste like real Mexican food. Tasted like food for people scared of real Mexican food - that want a Disney / Americanized taste. The mole is from the supermarket. Same exact, exact color and taste of Dona M in the low cost box . Not homemade as the daughter / waitress had said. Was featured as a plate of the day at the front of the biz. Also the Chile Rellano tasted like made the day before and midely reheated. We spoke up to waitress- she admitted she uses the store brand herself for mole. But doubled down and did not admit it was what they used. Haha! Good liar. Staff appears to detest the drunks they serve. But at least they try to be nice. Was busy. So they are doing something correct I guess. Maybe a good happy hour ?! read more

Service was exceptional from Olivia and Raphael. Both were aware and attentive at all times. Food is outstanding with many exciting options. I had the Molajete Jimenez. It made for 1 meal at the restaurant, and 3 more at home. Everyone in the party of 6 was satisfied. The prices are very fair. The ambience was welcoming and friendly. We will be returning customers for certain. read more

Diane and I were introduced to this fine Mexican restaurant by our son, a Huntington Beach resident; and after a sumptuous dinner we left with a very good first impression. Tortilla chips, ultra-hot salsa, and pico de gallo were complimentary, with the pico deserving of particular mention. My table of six family members kept running out of this very fresh and excellent rendition of cut tomatoes and White Onions. But our server cheerfully kept up a swift pace of replenishment. Both large and small orders of Guac were smooth and cool, and I noted in retrospect that one large order alone would have sufficed. Albondigas Soup was excellent, with soft chunks of zucchini, huge and perfectly cooked soft potatoes, and very tasty beef & rice meatballs. The menu photo showed four meatballs, but my bowl of soup only contained two. Yet they were both very large. A hard Shredded Beef Taco was good and crunchy, but the highlight of my meal was a #53 Burrito Rojo O Verde accompanied by Refried Beans and Mexican Rice. The burrito was filled with tender pork, well sauced and cheesy on top, and pliable, with the taste of the soft beans enhanced by enfolding some of them in a warm flour tortilla. Diane's off-menu Shrimp Quesadillas were filled with more than adequate amounts of shrimp and melted cheese. Others in my party liked their Chicken & Beef Fajitas, #39 Pollo A La Mexicana, #44 Burrito California with Grilled Steak, and Cheese Enchilada. The restaurant was crowded with diners, but lean on servers like almost everywhere else in these Covid times. Our beleaguered server was humping hard all night, so service was fine under the circumstances. Colorful images of Mexico painted on walls above booths contributed to a festive, casual atmosphere. I expect to be back! read more

The food was good. But the service was slow. The staff were not friendly and seemed over whelmed. It took a long 10 minutes before someone brought us water. We had to ask 2 times before they brought us napkins and .... when we got the bill wevwere charged double for a dish. read more

I think that if you love green Chile pork burritos the way I do, you will never have a better one. I am always surprised at the super rich flavor and low even heat in the green Chile sauce. This dish is rich and satisfying. I have been enjoying their food since I moved to HB 11 years ago. The atmosphere is friendly, and cozy with soccer on the tvs. Filled with Hispanic customers you know this is the authentic menu you have been waiting for. The service is always fast and friendly! read more

I've been going to Casa Jimenez for a handful of years now and they never disappoint. The updated that they have done recently with the full bar has made this place even more special. They have a great happy hour and the food is always on point and service is always reliable. Staff has a friendly positive attitude even when they get busy. They have beautiful murals on the wall and kinda of the old-school red booths, which gives it a great atmosphere. read more

Food was horrible. My son ordered a fried fish. They fried it so long there was barely any meat left. They served him a plate so hot he burned his finger but the beans were still cold! His French fries also were not even room temperature. The service was terrible. They didn't bring us our drinks until our food came! I think the bar tender was trying to be the waiter too. No wonder it was empty on a Saturday afternoon. I ordered the 7 seas soup bc they have a pic in the window with huge crab legs. After I go to pay when I mention it they say " we are out of crab legs". They didn't bother to tell me that when I ordered it. They didn't even bother to discount it either. They never checked on us during the meal. I never leave reviews. But save your money and ditch this place read more

Nice spot. Staff is super friendly and food is good! They have a nice bar where you can sit and watch the game.

Casa Jimenez is the best! Their food is always delicious and fresh and service is friendly and efficient. Carla and Ruben are awesome! We love coming for a drink or to grab dinner and they always have sports on. I don't know the owners names but they both are also great. Super friendly and good at what they do. Definitely 10/10 recommend this family owned place. Love supporting small and locally owned businesses. read more

I've been coming to this restaurant for several years because the food is genuinely delicious, consistent, and full of flavor. The owner is very friendly and clearly cares about the business, which makes it even more disappointing that the service from some of the staff has always been lacking. The biggest issue is that certain team members (not all) rarely acknowledge customers when they make a request. There's little to no eye contact, no greeting, and often no verbal response at all after a request and just a walk away. While they usually do bring what you asked for eventually, the lack of communication makes the service feel cold and dismissive.There are also moments when it's obvious they notice you trying to get their attention, yet they respond with a side glance and deliberately ignore you. Today stood out in a particularly negative way. I asked the bartender for something... he may have been off-duty or just starting his shift, I'm not sure but instead of responding, he turned around and walked away without saying a word. It felt like I was bothering him just for asking. I told one of the waiters what had happened, and he also said nothing just walked straight into the kitchen. Minutes later, I noticed several staff members looking at me, as if something had been said about me. It was uncomfortable, but I let it go. As I was leaving, I shared my frustration with one of the servers who I know is part of the owner's family. I explained that the service is consistently poor and mentioned how rude it was that a staff member ignored me and walked away like I was an inconvenience and told him I would be leaving a negative review. He brushed it off, saying, "It's just one time bad service." When I clarified that it happens all the time I just do not say anything, he simply shrugged and said he didn't care. I told him he should care, especially because this is his family's business but he dismissed it again. Once more, I want to stress that the food is excellent and the owner himself is kind and welcoming. But some of the staff need serious training in hospitality and basic customer service. If the service ever matches the quality of the food, this place would truly be a gem. Until then, it's hard to fully enjoy the experience. read more

We decided to go here for Sunday lunch and out margaritas tasted like fruit punch and the Bloody Mary - or poor excuse of one was horrible - never received replacement drink the owner was angry and unprofessional when we asked for a different drink. It was not a pleasant experience and will not return to this establishment! Go elsewhere! read more

Minus 1 point for slow service. I know it's hard during this time to hire new staff. They really had like 1 server. There wasn't that many people there when we went. Good just took awhile to come out. We met up friends who was there 30 min before we got there and they had barely got their orders placed. But food was delicious. Not a bad choice when you want to stuff your face after playing volleyball all morning. They had lunch specials. I got the chicken enchilada verde. Ate the entire plate pretty quick. Their chips and salsa was also good. I would still come back for their food. read more

I love Casa Jimenez! Local family-owned restaurant. Their dishes are always consistent, both in quality and quantity. I get their carnitas plate every time. I appreciate the harder outer coat, and tender insides. Their fish soup is piping hot and very tasty. And I love their salsa! I do judge a Mexican restaurant by the flavor of their salsa. It's a little spicy, but perfect for me. I am a frequent guest - at least 1 to 2X's a month. Please go try Casa Jimenez, you'll thank me later. read more

Excellent food at a reasonable price. Didn't expect much judging from the location and outside appearance, they exceeded expectations with great service, food and atmosphere. They do not pretend to be anything more than just a great place to have an enjoyable meal, nothing fancy with "exotic/silly" offerings trying to oversell the special of the day. Finally a realistic Mexican home cooked meal! read more
