    It was empty when we came in. The food was hot and fresh and the place was clean. The taquitos were hot and the guacamole, sour cream, and pico were the bomb. This is half the price of a restaurant and honestly better than some taquerias in SF. They have a 70 cent taco special going on and I jumped on that. Perfect mid day snack. They were friendly and said hi and bye.

    Steak burrito
    Nina E.

    A $14 steak burrito you would expect to get rice, salsa beans, and everything else that's inside of it as you seen a picture. I only got steak and cheese and the tortilla was oily. I will never ever eat here again. This is a total rip off.

    I've arrived at the Sunrise Ave. location of Jimboy's Tacos, who has been dishing out delicious "American Tacos" since 1954.

    Jimboy's Tacos, located on Sunrise Ave. in Roseville, CA, is a link in a chain of around 25 restaurants in the greater Sacramento area that specialize in delicious, "American Tacos" and other "Mexican-influenced" goodies. This restaurant is amazing, as the cuisine is pure "comfort food" and the friendly staff will make you feel at home. This restaurant, and like most of the other Jimboy's locations - all 40 stores in three states - are franchises, but are under the umbrella of Jimboy's Tacos, of Folsom, CA. Jimboy's Tacos originated back in 1954 after the founder, Jim Knudson, began selling tacos out of a trailer in the Lake Tahoe area, and the rest is history. Jimboy's Tacos is a favorite of the greater Sacramento area, as of this writing, there are 24 locations in the greater Sacramento area, including three stores in Roseville. Jimboy's Tacos is essentially a "fast food" restaurant, but unlike other chains, this restaurant is a Sacramento area born-and-raised restaurant, which offers favorite west coast Mexican-inspired cuisine. You enter the restaurant and walk up to the order counter and make you selection from the menu, which is displayed on large video monitors. You place your order, you pay for it, and you receive a receipt and a "number." After you get your "number," you get a drink cup - if you ordered a drink - and you can filler 'er up at the self-serve "soda fountain" that features Coca Cola products. Then, you seat yourself at any open seating, and when your "number" is called, you simply walk up to the counter, and your order will be waiting for you. There are no printed menus, so you order from the video monitors. Like most "fast food" restaurants, Jimboy's has a web site, with the menu listed online, and does a thriving take-out business of orders place online, and by phone. From the "Tacos" section of the meal, I went with two "Ground Beef Tacos," along with an "Extra" of "Pinto Beans," refried, naturally. "Ground Beef Tacos" are the "signature" dish of Jimboy's Tacos, and these delicious tacos has made Jimboy's a go-to restaurant in the greater Sacramento area since 1954. My friendly host asked if I was interested in fresh, in-house made salsa, and he gave me a couple of small cups of delicious, red salsa. Green salsa was also offered, which would have been perfect on a burrito. The menu, and the web page describe the tacos as, "What we're famous for since 1954! Chef-grilled stone ground corn tortilla, cheese, lettuce, parmesan dusted." These tacos made Jimboy's Tacos famous! Each taco starts out with a helping of Jimboy's seasoned ground beef, which is the original recipe that the founder of the restaurant chain, Jim Knudson came up with. The ground beef is inside of a lightly deep fried corn tortilla, liberally dusted with parmesan cheese, which is the "trademark" of the tacos the restaurant serves, and is a "standout" in west coast taco cuisine. Grated, melted cheese and lots of shredded lettuce complete each taco. For my side, I went with "Pinto Beans," and the menu offers a choice between "Refried" or "Whole;" it was an easy choice for me, as I went the way of "Refried..." The side of "Refried Beans" was a little cup of around six ounces of beans, topped with melted, shredded cheese, along with a couple of tortilla chips, which made for a great presentation, and great dipping. The beans were hot, creamy, rich, flavorful and simply delicious! What a great side to a couple of delicious "American Tacos." Jimboy's Tacos are simply delicious, and over the years, have amassed a dedicated following of taco lovers in the greater Sacramento area, and on the west coast. The parmesan-dusted corn tortillas are unique, and when you combine the seasoned ground beef, melted cheese, shredded lettuce, and the expertise of Jimboy's culinary staff... you're talking about delicious tacos! Jimboy's doesn't make any pretense about creating "Mexican" tacos, as they advertise as, "Jimboy's... The original American Taco since 1954." Well said! The tacos served at Jimboy's Tacos are simply DELICIOUS! Since 1954, the greater Sacramento area has been craving the delicious "signature" tacos made famous at Jimboy's Tacos, and you can certainly satisfy your craving at the Sunrise Ave. location in Roseville. You'll love the delicious cuisine that Jimboy's has to offer, and you'll enjoy the fast and friendly service this store is famous for. For delicious "American Tacos," visit Jimboy's Tacos, located on Sunrise Ave., in Roseville, CA. Fellow "foodies" and "Yelpers..." we're talkin' about FIVE STAR dining!

    Ground Beef Taco
    Tracy B.

    I found this amazing place on goldbelly looking for some tacos and came across this place. Wow!!! The tacos are so amazing. I ordered 12 beef tacos and for free I got 12 chicken tacos. They came frozen and nicely packed each were wrapped nice. It came with 2 big bags of lettuce and some of their famous taco sauce packets. But it didn't come with the bottle of taco sauce. Was told it was sold out and I should be getting one when they have it back. Let's hope it's true since I did pay for it. The tacos cook nicely in the oven and cone out very crispy and hot. What made them taste so good was the Parmigian cheese you sprinkle on the shell. I'm happy with my purchase. I pray I get that taco sauce bottle I was missing since they were out. The tacos taste better with it. I do highly recommend this place.

    Original Jimboy's taco

    A true Sacramento staple, "Jimboy's Tacos" is the type of place that every local has been to one time or another. However, it has been many, many years since I have stepped foot into one and I had to retrain my taste buds to see if this place was as good as I remembered it. I am focusing on their Roseville location which happens to be in a strip mall off of busy Cirby Way and Sunrise Ave. Considering the company itself has been around since 1954, Jimboy's has served thousands of customers from all walks of life. They currently have close to 40 locations (as of late-2019) and mostly all of them are in the Sacramento area while they have a few restaurants around the Los Angeles and Reno areas. I came here on a Wednesday evening around 7:00pm with my lovely lady as we were actually at the Roseville Automall doing some car shopping. This restaurant had a very bright and modern look with ample seating throughout. The digital menu board, self-serve salsa bar, and fountain drink station was placed conveniently in its respective areas. As I was quite hungry, I ended up ordering their popular #6 meal which consisted of two of their "Original Ground Beef Tacos" and a medium sized drink. I also ordered a "Bean & Cheese Burrito" to complete my order. Since there was hardly any customers in here at the time, my food was brought out to me in less than 5 minutes. The ground beef tacos are as delicious as I remembered them to be from well over a decade ago. The crispy shell with the dusting of Parmesan cheese is absolutely what makes these delicious. I wish they weren't so skimpy on the ground beef as the lettuce to meat ratio was at least 2 to 1. The burrito though was good as these beans were far superior than what you'd find at other fast food joints such as Del Taco & Taco Bell. Overall, "Jimboy's Tacos" is a decent and above average place to get good quality Mexican fast food. The customer service at this particular location was excellent while you definitely get what you pay for. I also wanted to add that the red & green salsas are excellent as they could compete against any authentic taqueria. All in all, a very good dining experience at the Roseville Jimboy's Tacos. My rating, four stars.

    Pathetic looking Avocado salad
    Donnie D.

    This salad is absolutely pathetic! The first time I ordered I thought it was a fluke I ordered again today for pickup, the bag was very light but I paid it no mind. When I got back to work and opened my salad I was flabbergasted! This is the avocado salad with bacon, there is hardly any bacon, avocado or salad! I paid $9 for this....never again!

The rellanos was covered in some type of brown sauce. It was savory and good. I love chile rellanos. Not a lot make it good. But this one was good. I put the guacamole on my rice and went at it. I never got refill of my drink and they never offered me water. She asked if I was doing ok once and gave me the check before I was done. What if I wanted dessert?
