I've never had bad service, food or drinks at Jimmy Changas. Been here a number of times and always leave satisfied. I decided to try their Fish Tacos this time around, so glad I did. They are DELICIOUS!!! Bartender "Sam@ was pretty nice too! Social distancing in effect! read more

I had Richard as my server and he was so amazing!! He exceeded my expectations and made sure we had any and everything we needed. The food was great per usual but the service from Richard made it a whole lot better!!! read more

Is not one is my favorite place to eat. I have been here few times and personally there is something in the seasonings that is not my cup of tea. The majority of my family likes it though. read more

Good Tex-mex food, decent margaritas, but the best quality is the play space for kids! It's hard to dine out with kids as it is, and it's nice to find a place who caters to families. read more

Machete Salad!! I looove this salad! I get it with the beef added. My all time favorite from any restaurant! The dressing is cilantro ranch.....soooo good! read more

Jimmy Changas - Machete Salad!! - Mexican Near Me - Katy, Texas

Fabulous service at a busy Fridsy lunchtime. Since this is just down the street from the VA Clinic, it'll be my go-to eatery. Dennis could NOT have been friendlier or more informative. We were perfectly taken care of, the "we" being my small Service Dog and me. Food was a free TexMex Insider bean tostada, and a cheese enchilada plate with charro beans. The enchilada sauce or gravy was too salty, but that's my solitary complaint. BEST SPANISH RICE that I've ever tasted. read more

Excellent, food, Service, and the Ambiance changes with the time of day and week and seasons of year. But it's always happy and lively with something going on smiles on faces and we are comfortable with regular staff who seem to remember us and our likes and preferences, which is cool and our family and grandchildren just love the place. read more

I dine at Mr. Ybarra's restaurants often. Between Gringos and Jimmy Changa's at least 4 times a month. This location is always on point. It's become my favorite. read more

Wait was not a problem here in a Saturday night. Good options were decent and kids love free ice cream

Was looking for a place to dine in on a Friday evening and everything had a wait time .. this place did as well but it was only 20 mins. Greeted and provided with wait time via text Once seated, hot chips and salsa cake out immediately The waiter was new but was very attentive and did not slack at all! Drinks: water was refreshing (I may have been dehydrated) I ordered 2-The Grand Don- was really good but not much for the price , more ice than anything The skinny- very fulfilling and worth the price Alcoholic beverages take a bit as waiter retrieves them from the bar Food: Appetizer: Chicken taquitos: soo good, soft shell hot Egg rolls: cane out hot but could have had some more spice.. ended up getting their Spicy salsa to dip it in The bad daddy chili.. soo much food! It was good, had poblano peppers added inside for spice Dessert: Tres leches- really really good. Will be back read more

I had heard the food here was really good and as I had been in Austin I was ready for some better Mexican food (my experience is Houston and San Antonio have way better Mexican and Tex-Mex than Austin although Austin has better BBQ). I was a bit reluctant as this is a chain but it is a small local chain with locations just around Houston. The restaurant ambiance from the outside to the inside can only be described as putting out the vibe of a LOT of fun. The place was packed for a later lunch time on a weekday which would seem to indicate local folks do approve. The complimentary chips were brought out immediately and came with two nice salsas. The Rio Grande Combo with the fajita option was a respectable amount of food and enchiladas, taco and black beans (you get a choice of three types of beans) were all nicely done. The only downside of my visit is that I had ordered corn tortillas to go with my fajitas and it took an uncomfortably long wait before I received them but other than that the service was on point. I was driving so unfortunately I was unable to sample any of their tempting looking adult beverages. This also seems to be a place that little kids would find really entertaining and fun as well as the bigger kids like me. Overall this is a good option for some good Mexican food when on a road trip as it is easy to access right off I-10. read more

We have been coming here for years because it's one of the greatest places to bring the whole family with the outdoor play area the kids can actually have a blast running around while we enjoy a nice dinner. But aside from that awesome amenity they also offer a phenomenal menu of tex Mex cuisine mostly, all of it is super tasty and the service has consistently been wonderful. I love that they offer so many signature cocktails but one thing that's unique is they offer gallons of their delish margaritas to-go so you can enjoy their authentic margaritas from home too. Their tortillas are perfection along with everything we've ever tried so if you have not been you are missing out! Go check them out! read more

Food, Ice Cream is free cones and cups, Ambiance! Playground for the kids... TVs for all Sports events! Delicious kids meals and fajitas along with queso blanco. Great green and red salsa for the yummy chips! Great location as well. Nice size booths to sit in plus good patio area as well. I would definitely recommend Jimmy Changa's to anyone looking for a family friendly Tex Mex Restaurant! They have good lunch specials too and great variety on their menu! read more

Excellent Mexican food that is incredibly flavorful and isn't greasy. We tried a couple of tempting items from the menu. I had the Plato Soldano, a wonderful combination of a taco al carbon, cheese enchilada and pork tamale. The taco meat was delicious with just enough seasoning to enhance the meat and tamale was also delicious. Even the cheese enchilada was out of sight! My wife had the Ribeye Street Tacos, which were the best we've ever had (I got to sample them) featuring incredibly tender and juicy ribeye tips. Even the guacamole was spot on. Topping it off was a fabulous Prickly Pear Rita that was just the right combination of sweet and sour. Brae did a great job of keeping up with our split table party of 6 (split thanks to COVID). Overall, a wonderful experience. We will certainly be back! read more

Would not recommend the food has went down since COVID-19. The chips and hot sauces not what it used to be terrible. The place is crowded all the time. The ambience is loud and it OK the food has changed and it's not that good. read more

Great service, good environment, food was good but not spectacular, the ice cream cones are a nice touch. The family enjoyed the visit there. read more

We always enjoy Jimmy changas with family! Consistently good food and drinks!! Salsa is my favorite in town and the service is on point.

This was our first time here, i will never come here again, ever. Service was good,food was HORRIBLE, fajitas were red and bloody when I asked for them to be well done, then I got my check which was well over 100.00 and the fajita meat was not deducted since I didn't replace it, I asked for a manager and no one ever came to the table. It was my husband bday and I asked for someone to bring a sweet and sing happy birthday, the waitress came and brought him a slice of cake and didn't sing she said it was against policy due to noise concerns yet the place was filled with people and extremely noisy so I didn't get that part. Don't waste your money on this place. read more

This chain used to be much better a few years ago. It has changed quite a bit. The food is absolutely not good. Fish tacos had fish bones in it. Vegan order came with beans cooked in pork fat (they did fix this later). In all it's far from being a good place to recommend. read more

Food is good. Service is good also. It's not the best in town but it is very solid Mexican food.

The food was good but unfortunately I had to sit in the curbside pickup for about 10 to 15 minutes and no one came to deliver my online order. A few others had to get out of their cars and head to the takeout counter and grab their food and get back in their cars and leave. i tipped for curbside pickup but probably won't be using this anymore if I'm going to have to still walk in and grab my food. read more

I haven't been here in a long while , but really like their Charro Beans. I could eat a giant bowl of bean soup of these. The music is not so loud , guacamole is/was good when I had it and the Big Daddy Burrito is my favorite. I tried the Mexican Lasagna, and Taco Bowl , all very delicious and fresh ingredients. Staff at the time were really nice and friendly. read more

I've heard that Jimmy Changas has delicious Tex-Mex food. I've also heard the owner does a lot of great things for charity. So, when I was in the restaurant row area of Katy, I figured I should give them a try. If they're good, I'll give them my continued business for years to come. We walked into a really cool-looking restaurant. The place was packed, but the wait was only 15 minutes. The staff seemed to be on top of things. Everyone was very friendly and attentive. I ordered the beef tacos cabron. My friend ordered a huge salad (I can't remember the name of it) with grilled chicken breast. Tortilla chips, salsa, and queso were all delicious. The queso was a little too delicious. I could not stop eating it even though I knew I had to save room. Me being mildly lactose-intolerant, it really wasn't a good idea. Needless to say, we drove home with the windows down. My friend was really annoyed with me. Next, came the entrees. Rice was perfect. Borracho beans were perfect. Tortillas were excellent. Beef was very good. My friend's grilled chicken breast was darn-near perfect. Probably the best chicken I've had in any Tex-Mex restaurant. That may not be saying much, but is was amazing. We didn't try any of the specialty drinks from the bar. They looked really good. We will next time. The desserts looked delicious. We sure as hell didn't have any room. I could barely walk after the amazing feast. Definitely going back. You should go too. read more

Coming a long way and then find a long line on a Friday night. My granddaughter said it was the best Mexican food she has had in a long time. So that's why we went. It was a nice night out so we sat outside and waited to be called. As we were sitting there I noticed that people would walk up to a table that was vacated and stand there until it was cleaned. They would sit down and a server would take their orders. (This was for the outside seating). We asked the busboy if it was just grab a table outside and we were told yes. The server came right over and took or drink orders. We perused the menu and our order was taken. Granddaughter ordered tamales and I did a change platter. Chicken taquitos, donkey wings, cheese empanada & chorizo empanada, tex-mex eggrolls and gorilla peppers. The taqueria were very very good. The empanadas were ok. Donkey wings, I don't eat wings and the peppers were not so good. I understand that the tamales were very good. I'll probably try them when we go back but it won't be on a Friday night!!! read more

I've been here so many times yet I always forget to write a review. Probably because whenever I do go, I get a food coma afterwards. Their portions are huge! We always come for dinner around 6-7, which of course is a busy time for them. But the wait time is typically only 15-20 minutes, so it's not that bad. When you're seated, you get fresh chips and salsa to start you off. They also give you a creamy cilantro sauce that is to die for (very similar to Chuy's). Food (4/5) : After trying most of the menu, my boyfriend and I decided that our favorite is the Del Rio. It comes with a beef tamale, seafood enchilada, two empanadas, a crunchy taco, rice, choice of refried or charro beans, and a cheese thing that I forgot the name of. Everything was perfectly seasoned and the flavors were very present. But then again, most of their food items are satisfying. Price (4/5) : some might disagree, but I think their prices are very reasonable. You can't compare it to a taqueria of a family-owned Mexican restaurant. This is a Tex-mex restaurant that offers good quality food in big proportions. My only complaint is that the drink prices are pretty drastic. A margarita for $12! Service (4/5) : Honestly, service is a hit or miss for me. Most of the time, it's been good. Their waiters are very attentive and polite, but some of them seem sick to be there. Like they would check on you and offer refills, but they look annoyed and won't smile at all. It's not a big deal, everyone has their stories. All that matters is that we were serviced nicely! Overall, we've had consistently good experiences at Jimmy Changas and we will be back often! read more

It's average. When they first opened the quality and presentation was amazing, unfortunately since then all that has gone down and is as average as any Tex mex in houston read more

My all time favorite fajita!!!! The margaritas are pretty great as well. Service is always friendly and we love the free soft serve ice cream. Recommend it! read more

Food was delicious and came out quickly. Great place to sit outside and let the kids play. Our server, Joseph, was awesome and extremely attentive. He was the only one serving the tables on the patio but made sure everyone was taken care of and didn't miss a beat. read more

The service was very slow on a day were the restaurant was very empty. It took our waiter ~15min to ask us what we wanted to drink. The food is below average, we got the fajitas and they werent very good. Would not recommend going here with all the other options around the area.. read more

The new offerings for Hatch Grren Chilis are great! We had the Hatch Queso with Chicharones and the Hatch Green Chili Chicken, The Hatch Green Chili Enchiladas are delicious as well. Dustin provided great service and kept our iced tea glasses full. For a special drink, try the frozen pineapple margaritas; you won't be disappointed. Try this location and enjoy the outdoor seating with a great play area for the younger kids. read more

One of my favorite places to go to. Been a loyal customer for years. The staff here are ALWAYS friendly. I've never had a bad experience. The dining room is always clean and comfortable. The food is EXCEPTIONAL! I love jumping around their menu on each visit. Hard to do because I definitely have my favorites but no matter what I choose I'm always satisfied. Wonderful restaurant!!!! read more

We hosted my sons birthday dinner here on the patio, and we all loved it. The kids got to play, we got drinks and dinner, they even serve free ice cream cones. Waiter was so accommodating and patient. Location is gorgeous! Loved the Taco Salad and margaritas! read more

Came here on a Friday during happy hour, so was able to beat the dinner time rush. The margaritas were good, and of course, the complimentary ice creams at the front. There is also a kids play place at the front of the restaurant outside for people dining with children. I ordered some queso and a soup and both were lukewarm, but the waitstaff was so nice and accommodating so I didn't want to make a fuss. 1 star for the ambiance, 1 star for the free ice cream, and 1 star for the service. read more

Jimmy Changas - Chicken Tortilla soup - Mexican Near Me - Katy, Texas

TERRIBLE management and service. Long wait not due to being busy, but because so many tables were left uncleaned. Poor manager's cleaning tables while his workers are standing around in confusion. Took over 45 minutes to get food, turns out manager had to get the food because waitress forgot. Food itself was okay, slightly cheaper than Gringo's also slightly worse than Gringo's read more

The kids liked it... free and good ice cream. Food was ok. Nice spot for kids I would say.

My kiddos & two friends of mine came here for a late lunch. We all ordered the "El Jefe" and that came with rice, beans, the lettuce/tomato/onion thing, sour cream and some queso. The entree was a rolled chicken taco in a flour tortilla, a chicken flauta and a ground beef enchilada in red sauce. I'm not a fan of red sauce but I'm sure if I asked for a green enchilada it would have been better. The entree was a great price (11.99?) for what was included. We sat outside so the kids could play in their little playground. Although it's a first come first serve basis, there was plenty of seating and it was a great day to be outside. Our waitress was very attentive and made sure our water was always full. I also ordered a regular lime Rita $5.49 on the rocks and it was decent. My only thing is, I wish that the outdoor seating was fully secured because at the entrance and by the fountains, it's open next to the streets. So if you have littles, keep them close in sight because they could easily run out to the street. You also get free ice cream at the end! read more

However , after my friend took a bite of my for ( after sending hers back because it was BRICK HARD) she SPIT IT UP ... immediately . Later that night we had the worst case of food poisoning I've ever had. Terrible stomach pain that completely ruined our trip. Please . Never . Come here .

OMG when we first got here people greeted us with joy, it was such a warm cozy feeling and then the host Lily was such an amazing person and then our server Diego was also very well at communicating to us, he was so awesome! And the manager I think he is name is Alejandro he was nice he did a lot for us and I seen him talk to everyones table to make sure they were ok! I would highly recommend going to Jimmy Changas to eat with your friend's and family! read more

We will definitely be back! The Queso Blanco Dip was alright but we won't order it again. My husband got Jimmy's Deluxe. He enjoyed it, the only issue was they forgot to bring out his cold plate until after he was finished with his hot plate. I had the shrimp tacos with elote instead of beans and rice. The elote was well worth the 60 cent up charge. The shrimp tacos made my mouth and tummy very happy! The slaw gave a nice crisp contrast to the soft corn tortillas and shrimp cooked to perfection. The pineapple Pico made for a tangy highlight. read more
