    Not the first Jimboy's Tacos I've been to, but one of the better ones for quantity and quality of food. Pretty fast service, we had steak and carnitas tacos... lots of meat and fillings, the cheesy outsides of the shells are unique to them, a tasty treat! Restroom and dining area could use a little sprucing up.

    Jimboys was the second stop on our Auburn taco crawl. This is a storied Northern California fast food stop that's clean, well lit, and fast. I order the Gordo beef taco and within 2 minutes I had it. Hot and easy to eat. Their specialty is the Parmesan dusted grilled flour soft taco. The meat was fine lettuce was fresh and abundant. It's a little expensive as comparable tacos go but quick and good.

    I haven't had Jimboys in over 10 years, probably. But it's a greater Sac area staple and since we were passing by, I decided to introduce my hubby to it. We had to get their ground beef hard shell tacos, which is what they're known for, They do a 6 pack of these tacos, so we just got that. Also tried the hot honey chicken taco and the alaskian cod taco, along with a side of fries. All this for about $30 - fast food is no longer that inexpensive. Haha. Both the chicken and fish were breaded I believe. Both had a pico salsa with diced tomatoes and onions, so that made it fresh. The hot honey was not super spicy, but I think I preferred the cod one over all the other tacos. The ground beef ones were standard. Hard shells were not as crunchy as I remember. They were just slightly fried. A little greasy and a little too salty for me but mostly solid. I really liked their fries, which were like jojos or potato wedges - very fried and very potato-y. We ordered inside to-go and ate at one of the three picnic tables outside. The drive thru was super busy also with lots of customers. Bathroom was clean and decent.

    The tacos are insanely good, although probably not so great for you. Think Jack in the box tacos, but waaaay better!

    Can you please start letting me do indoor dining at the auburn ca location off of bowman rd the county is in the red tier?

    Hello! This restaurant is independently owned and this account is managed by the corporate office. You'll have to call the restaurant to ask specifically when they plan to re-open their dining room. Thank you.

    Is the Bowman location still in business? The sign is lit but it's always closed when we pull into the lot.

    Hello! Yes this location is still in business and open 9 AM - 6 PM daily. Thank you,

    Please do outdoor seating at tables here?

    No unfortunately we do not have outdoor seating at this location.

    The Jimboy's in Auburn is being remodeled or was it shut down. The one off of highway 49?

    We are remodeling the Grass Valley HWY store in Auburn and should re-open sometime this summer. Thanks!

I love the wall murals featuring the restaurant's name. There are a couple TVs and a ton of seating but all indoors. Order at the counter and take away or dine in. The cashier was friendly and helpful to navigate the menu. We opted for the 2 fish tacos or 2 shrimp tacos daily special for $8.75 and three in an al pastor Torta and grilled chicken street taco to boot. Chips and salsa are included. Fish taco - 9 - Nice crunchy batter with fresh fish and amazing punch with the pickled onions and Chipotle Crema Shrimp taco - 8 - Fresh shrimp but lacks spice. Pickled onions and Chipotle Crema give it flavor. Super Torta with Al pastor - 7 - Sadly they gave us a very plain carne asada but the rest of the Torta was good. Street taco combination with grilled chicken - 5 - The chicken was very bland but nicely cooked. The beans were terrific and the rice was just ok Pretty cool taqueria with some tasty items and ones to avoid unless you prefer your meats bland. We saw a molcajete on one table and a sizzling plate of fajitas at another which intrigues us for another time. I'd come back for the seafood tacos and the beans though!!!
