Probably the only place I can go to and eat 6 full size tacos. Not sure if that's a good thing or not but those things are like crack. I just can't stop. The regular ground beef taco can't be beat. It's simple, always fresh, and so, so, tasty. I love their salsas as well, and even their plain hot sauce adds so much flavor. The service is always on point and the tables, chairs, and restrooms are always clean and tidy. It's a little expensive for tacos, but you get what you pay for. You won't leave this place hungry. That's for sure. read more

Shame on me for taking so long to try Jimboy's Tacos. This place is actually really good. The tacos and burritos are good portions for fast food. My favorite was most definitely the ground beef taco. The burrito was good with a taco sauce, but by itself, it tastes plain. I ordered thru door dash and they were very quick with making the food. read more

I am always craving Jimboy's Tacos whenever I am back in my hometown of Sacramento. Those who have not enjoyed the Jimboy's taco experience need to find out firsthand what the original American taco is all about. Their signature Parmesan-dusted crispy taco shells, made with stone-ground corn tortillas, are their most distinctive element. They are grilled on a flat top before being griddled with meat, freshly shredded American cheese, and crisp lettuce, which makes them unique and appealing. Other factors include their proprietary seasoned ground beef, which is ground fresh in-house and cooked in small batches, a key part of the original taco's flavor, all served in a fast-food, Mexican-American style. Jimboy's chain was founded in the 1950s, and the original recipe has a long-standing tradition, making it a Sacramento favorite. They aim to maintain the fresh, quality ingredients and taste established by the founders, contributing to a consistent and enjoyable experience for customers. I like this Elk Grove location because it is close to the 99 Hwy, it is one of the cleaner Jimboy's Tacos restaurants, and the service is good. read more

I'm a big Jimboy's Tacos fan. The tacos remind me of the ones I used to eat growing up. I've tried several of the Jimboy's Tacos around the Sacramento area and the one in Fairfield. I happed to be in Elk Grove and drove by this location. I ordered two of the ground beef tacos and one carnitas taco. My wife had one of the carnitas, one of the ground beef tacos and a horchata drink. The tacos were good but were missing the crunch to the taco shell. I think the heat was too high so the taco didn't have enough time to crisp up. The horchata was too sweet and watery. It did not taste like authentic horchatas. Overall the tacos had good flavor, the carnitas were tender, hot, not fatty and a little crisp to the meat. I prefer the tacos at some of the other locations that are able to get that crunch to the taco to make it a 5 rating. Since I love Jimboy's tacos I would be hard pressed to give anything less than 4 stars primarily on the tacos. Staff were nice. read more

First time here from Modesto. The food is so good. Really fulfilling. Had to go to Elk Grove park to take a nap.

For good fast food tacos in a hurry, I rely on Jimboys to satisfy my crave. Today, I went to the Elk Grove Blvd location to use a $10 earned reward that was expiring. Unfortunately, the system at this location does not allow it, though staff tried on both of their registers. However, Giselle assisted, and did not hesitate to give it a try. She could see that I had the credit and would expire, so she asked if I could place the order online to be sure not to lose the credit. Because I am not tech savvy or familiar with their ap, she was very patient with me and helped me step-by-step, place my order. She was so kind and helpful, I plan to frequent this location more, even though it's further away for me. The tacos and taquitos I ordered were good as usual. Not the top like the authentic full service restaurants, but my favorite quick taco fix. You can see that I took a bite out of the ground beef taquitos so you can see the inside. It was good. Same meat that comes in the tacos, rolled into a corn tortillas, and deep fried nice and crispy. I ordered the plain, which comes with guacamole. This location also has a drive through, and they are very efficient at this store. I give the food a high 4, and Giselle a perfect 5. read more

Jimboy's Tacos - Two ground beef tacos and ground beef taquitos (4) - Mexican Near Me - Elk Grove, California

Every single time I come to Sacramento, this is the one place I have to stop by. No joke. Jimboy's by far makes some of the best hard-shell tacos you can possibly have. What makes them stand out from everyone else? They put parmesan cheese on the shell, and it makes these tacos absolutely incredible. It's their signature, and it's a total game-changer. While the tacos are legendary, my personal favorite menu item is the Bean & w/ light cheese burrito. It's so simple, but it is just SO good. Their refried beans are amazing. Jimboy's has been a well-trusted restaurant for years, and you can taste why. I love this place. It's an absolute must-try! read more

We love the enchilada combo plate. Lots of food, great rice, beans, salad, and two really good enchiladas, either cheese or beef or mixed. We go regularly when cooking at home seems to much work! read more

Hands down I will go to most jimboys and get 6 tacos. Because they slap. The people are friendly and always ready to help you. All the locations look and feel the same. read more

Decided to try this place out since I always pass by it. Convenient that they have a drive thru at this location. Ordered the steak tacos and a kids quesadilla meal. The steak tacos were good a little on the greasy side but still good especially with the cheese they put not sure if it's corona or Parmesan but still good. Their green salsa is also good and I like how they weren't stingy when I asked for 3 not knowing the size of them. Got the Jamaica drink and it was pretty good like what I would get from a taco truck. Their churro got hard after leaving it out for a bit but figured still good and sugary. read more

Good food I got the 3 taco Tuesday special with ground beef pretty good and the stuffed churro for a dessert. Food came out pretty quick too

I absolutely love their taco burgers! They never fail to impress me. Every time I'm close to a Jimboy's tacos I definitely stop. I've introduced several of my friends to their taco burgers, and now they are all returned customers too now. read more

Drove all the way from the Central Valley to get Jimboy's! The original American taco is amazing and a must. Great flavor all around and the parm dusted taco shell is great! The loaded taquitos are perfect and come with guac, cheese, sour cream and Pico. The 3 cheese quesadilla with grilled chicken was prefect and also dusted with parm. This restaurant was very clean. Shout out to the Ell Grove staff! They were super cool and friendly! read more

Where have you been all my life? My husband directed us to Jimboy's as we were passing through on our way to Reno. How have I never had Jimboy's before? After careful consideration I got 2 tacos, one carnitas and one grilled chicken. My husband always gets steak tacos. Once our order was ready I grabbed a few taco sauces and got to work. I didn't know parm cheese on the shell could be so magical. Holy crap, they were so good. The carnitas was tender and moist, the chicken was similar. Just overall goodness, moist and tender. The lettuce was fresh and the cheese was tasty. I think I told my husband after every bite how amazing my tacos were. I cursed him for not bringing me here sooner then searched for the closest location to my house. Unfortunately you are 76 miles away. Staff was friendly and the tables were clean. Plenty of parking and easy on and off from the freeway. Very satisfied with my tacos and can't wait to try other menu items! read more

I love their chicken tacos. But when the tortilla is fried in the same oil as the fish???! it tastes like fish, and that's not what I bought or wanted. sorry, I can't do this place again. the fish taste ruined my dinner read more

Service was prompt. Food was quick but fresh. I had the fish tacos and wow! I was not disappointed! Just driving through so a little sad that I won't be back very soon. Only other feedback is employees shouldn't be scrolling on their phones. It looks tacky! But I'm not docking any stars because I came to get a satisfying meal and that I got! read more

I've been eating at Jimboy's for over 40 years. It's good for a fast drive thru meal. I'll always eat here.

We went in to dine. The cheese enchilada plate was ordered. The cheese inside the enchilada was literally still shredded cheese and cold. The cheese was not melted yet still cold from the block. We took it to the front and asked for a cheese quesadilla instead, so we got the quesadilla and they said sorry, the quesadilla is on the house. We go home and later that night we were charged for the quesadilla and the cheese enchilada plate. I'm not sure how they were able to charge my card again for something they messed up and also said was on the house. I would be careful handing your debit card over because apparently they charge items without your consent or even handing them your card. I will be following up with corporate, that is kinda scary. read more

When a customer has to come all the way back to the restaurant because you did not give them something on the order, just say sorry and give them the item. Don't question them with, "where's your receipt" when you didn't give me one. I really hate to give a bad review, but I never even got a "sorry you had to come back" from them. Not going back, sorry. read more

We drive an hour to get these awesome tacos. The only complaint is that the cheese wasn't melted. Really quick service. Nice people. Very clean! Lots of seating. read more

It's safe to say I'm a fan of Jimboy's! I've tried their food once YEARS ago but I wasn't impressed but recently found myself here willing to give them a chance and I was craving tacos. This location seemed to have okay reviews, it was on my way home and had a drive-thru. They are on a pretty busy street so the drive-thru line was a bit long but that was fine because it gave me time to go over the menu a little more. The menu had a variety of tacos like ground beef, hamburger, grilled chicken, steak, carnitas and a few others. They also have salads, bowls, burritos, desserts and appetizers. I wanted to order so much but I wasn't going to allow my eyes be bigger than my stomach lol. I ordered the two ground beef tacos plate which came with rice and beans and I also ordered a taco burger. I was pleasantly surprised by the presentation of the food, it looked and smelled so good. The tacos were really good and flavorful, while I liked the corn tortilla shell dusted with grated Parmesan I felt the shell should have been crispier because the bottom broke and the filling fell out. The rice was pretty good as were the beans but I must admit they were a tad bit too salty. The burger taco was very average and I had the same issue with the taco shell, I prefer the ground beef taco. I'm glad I gave this place another try because it was good and worth it. I will be back to try some of their other items and of course those yummy tacos. read more

Went here for a bacon breakfast burrito the other day. I'm from out of town but love a good breakfast burrito. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the contents from a drive thru burrito. Quality crispy bacon, real quality eggs, and pretty solid flavor. I was surprised when I reached into the bag to discover that the burrito wasn't really wrapped at all, it was just in a little sleeve, so I was worried about the mess but it ended up being fine. They gave me a few little sauce packets which were good but if they had legit salsa to go with the breakfast burrito I think it would add a lot. read more

Food is mediocre, but the service is the absolute worst. DO NOT GO HERE. You will be sorely disappointed. Orders are always missing items and nobody at the store will take any ownership. None of these people are qualified to work in the food industry. Absolute morons. read more

The two Jimboy's Tacos locations in Sacramento that I ordered from recently have cubed flavorless chicken in their enchiladas and tacos now. The enchilada sauce is watery and weak in flavor. I grew up eating Jimboy's in the 80's through 2008 and loved the juicy shredded chicken and other menu items. Things have really gone downhill. It's too expensive for the poor quality. So dissapointing. read more

Food is delicious. Location is clean. Temperature was freezing. Outside it's currently 50 degrees and inside it was 55!!! I was sitting by the thermostat so I knew it was in fact 55. The emplOyee came up to adjust the temperature while we were there to a whopping 60 degrees. All of the staff was freezing but maybe management doesn't let them turn it up??? I don't know but can't think of another reason why they would sit there and freeze their tortillas off. Other than that...it was great. :) read more

Jimboy's Tacos - Jim our taco wrapper - Mexican Near Me - Elk Grove, California

Today was going to be my first time trying this place I was very excited. My phone was about to die and I had my own charger but the outlets in the lobby didn't work. I politely asked the cashier at the register if she could help me charge my phone while I order and wait on my food , I had my daughter in the car and I had at least 30 mins until I made it to my destination and she told me that her manager wouldn't approve. So I asked for the manager so I can explain because I really needed the help and she made me feel like I was wrong for asking so I politely walked out of the restaurant , didn't get to try the food. Nobody was in the restaurant and the energy felt very cold hearted , I will not be back. read more

Tacos = comfort food, plain and simple. I've been to this location several times now, and it's consistently been the Jimboy's Tacos that I know and love. I sometimes try something different, like one of their burritos, or on this particular day a poster in the window caught my eye and I tried out the Chicken Bacon Avocado Quesadilla. I mean, just look at the title of that thing. Chicken. Bacon. Avocado. Boom. Loved it. I'm not sure if it's going to be a permanent addition to the menu or what, but I'm a fan and would definitely have them once in awhile. What really consistently brings me to Jimboy's is what I'm guessing is their most popular item? Maybe not... who knows, I don't have the official stats or anything, but most of my family and friends tend to gravitate to what I imagine in my head to be the "original" Jimboy's item way back in the day - #6 Original Ground Beef Tacos they started with back in 1954. These tacos are done pretty much the way my dad cooked tacos at home when I was growing up (he didn't dust the outside with Parmesan cheese), which is another reason they take me to my happy place. I can't say that I've ever turned down a taco, but there is a pretty wide range in the way tacos are done - "street tacos" are pretty popular in the area, and I can't say I'm a huge fan of those... these are not street tacos. I'm also not a huge fan of cilantro, and happy to say that cilantro isn't piled three inches deep on everything at Jimboy's - yay! No question I'm coming back to this location as well as other locations when I'm in the mood for tacos. read more

I stopped here for lunch last minute. The person at the register was helpful and answered my questions. The restaurant decor was current and clean. I got a bean burrito. It was hot off the grill and I enjoyed it. I also got the Avacado salad. It was just ok. They used shredded lettuce on it and it had an excessive amount of Parmesan cheese in it. I will go back and try different items. read more

I love Jimboys in theory, but lately the food has been so inconsistent, Especially on the weekends. Most recently, I ordered the chips and queso because the nachos are no longer available through DoorDash. The portion was half the normal size and I only received one bag of chips - for the same price of $5. The queso was cold, chalky, and flavorless. I had to throw it away. This is the second time this has happened so maybe I should have known better. The ground beef tacos seem to be the only consistent option as long as they don't skimp on the beef and cheese. There is nothing like a Jimboys taco... please do better! read more

I placed my drive-thru order at your 8670 Elk Grove Blvd. location this evening and when I arrived at home one of my items was missing. The Classic Carnitas Burrito that I ordered was not included and I only received the other (6) items. I spent $70.77 and everything was given to me at the drive-thru window except for the Classic Carnitas Burrito which cost $7.35 The cashier at the time was (Juan) and it was Order # 15 placed on (06/14/2022 @7:55pm. Customers should not have to check to ensure that all items have been provided at the drive-thru, but rather the employees should perform a quality check to make sure that the orders are complete with no items missing. We should be compensated for this inconvenience and poor customer service that this particular location provided this evening. Thank You, read more

Picked up dinner last night and felt I should update my review considering this time was different because of Covid-19. Business was clean and employees were all wearing masks . Ordered some ground beef tacos and bean and cheese burritos. Yum !! Girl who took my order was very nice and helpful. I asked her about the churros and she told me that the cream cheese churros were delicious. So I ordered some . Make sure when you get your food you ask for green and red salsa . They also have a chipotle sauce that's really good. And do not forget the jalapeños and taco sauce. Food was amazing !! read more
