Finally got to spend an evening with friends. We went to Jimmy Changas in Pasadena, where we promptly got seated and Bledsoe waited on us. We couldn't have been served better. He was friendly, jovial, and saw to it that we were not rushed. Everyone we encountered was friendly. I've been in restaurants that feel like the employees resent the customers. The employees at this location is not that way. They seem to like their jobs and want the customers to enjoy their time and meal at Jimmy Changas. I will go back, and hope to get one of Bledsoe's tables. He definitely deserves his Scooby Snack! read more

The service and ambience is great. But best of all is the food. I ordered a shrimp tostada salad and without exception this is the best salad I've ever had. I recommend this restaurant without hesitation. read more

I didn't want anything too heavy for lunch. I ordered the Tex Mex eggrolls. Chili's Southwest eggrolls used to be my favorite, but these are my fave now. The egg rolls are crispy, light, and not greasy. I ordered the appetizer and it's enough to share or make two meals out of it. It went well with my michelada, which was not too spicy with the perfect ratio with my beer. read more

The hostess was very kind, and helped us get a booth quickly. Our waiter was also very helpful, they were a bit busy at around 5:30pm and the food did take a while to come out. Overall the food was good, I just wish they would put more meat on the skillet. You're paying over $30 for 4 pieces of steak and 4 for chicken. read more

I normally get a soldados plate or fajitas, tried the tostada plate and was disappointed that it arrived cold and soggy. Ambiance is good, but watch it if you ever have it delivered. I think if packaging were better, it would not look like this. read more

Visiting family from Dallas and came in for a very late lunch on a Saturday. The first thing I want to say is that I felt like I needed a winter coat. Brrr! With that thought, as a slow eater, I knew my food would get cold fast. I was tempted to order a salad just knowing that but we opted to start w/queso w/meaty beef chunks. Their Salsa Verde is not as tasty as Johnny Tamales but the queso dip made up for it... was the hit of the meal for me! SO GOOD! Entrees ordered were Beef Fajita Tacos (3) with homemade flour tortillas, Dirty Tostadas (2), I tried one of each of a Fish and a Shrimp Taco. The beef was very tender and well spiced. The tostadas were piled high and were very refreshing. The seafood tacos were each wrapped in foil so they kept the tacos warm longer. We enjoyed our meals very much. Service was very quick and friendly. I like the option of patio seating with the playground for kids. I would definitely choose this place over Johnny Tamales any day. read more

I took my brother out for dinner to celebrate his birthday. Our service was excellent despite an unusually busy Monday night. Preston did an outstanding job checking on our table while training a new server. The food was delicious and well prepared. The atmosphere is casual which works well with the area and food offerings. Definitely recommend!!! read more

I have always been a fan of the Tex-mex here. We had an amazing server, the food was good as always. I absolutely recommend. read more

We stopped by to pick up dessert. We had never been here before but I was craving a tres leches and could only find it here. The to go server Arely was very welcoming and nice given it was five minutes until closing. The tres leches was delightful. It had a nice not too sweet marsh mellow icing topped with two cinnamon sugared pecans, a drizzle of caramel on the side and garnished with a fresh strawberry. read more

I ordered the Chicken Enchiladas and they were good. I would say 4/5 stars. I really liked the sauce and the chicken was good quality. My girlfriend ordered the Al Pastor Bowl and thought it was good. The meat was a little dry though. The restaurant was really nice and pleasant to be in. The service was nothing special. The food was slightly over priced in my option especially considering the portions sizes were kind of small. Over all I would give this restaurant about a 3.4. Better than a lot of places around the area, but nothing amazing. read more

Mediocre tex mex at best. Much better restaurants just a little further north on center street. Service is always slow, but kids love the playground outside is the absolute only reason we get pulled into coming back. Last time waited 25 minutes for 2 margaritas, had to leave the table and go to the bar and order. Wasnt even that busy. Time before that food took 45 minutes and my plate was cold. People go for the ambience and the playground, if someone tells me its their "go to" or "favorite" place around here, they havent seen much. read more

My meal looked nothing like the photos they upload. The beef steak was so tuff I couldn't even eat. Whatever they pretend to be is not what you are likely to get. The food was bland, dry overcooked garbage for a fairly high price tag on what should otherwise be inexpensive for anyone to make. I told the employee I cant eat this its tough like a boot and dry and burnt. He said don't come back here. Some random indian guy slanging bad texmex and he is getting attitude with me for his ruined steak. I was polite and payed for everything so what gives? read more

Amazing food served by fantastic people! Easy access, nice ambience, and clean environment. read more

First time eating at a Jimmy Changas. Let me start off with what an amazing manager I believe his name was Vincent or Victor the staff were very attentive. The bus ladies passed by asking if we needed anything. Amazing service & the food was delicious. We had a lady that knew Gringo's menu and our server did his best to satisfy her. I'm waiting patiently for you to come to New Braunfels. The food & decor is spot on. I would definitely recommend your restaurant. Apologies for not remembering his manager's name. read more

Yesterday, July 11th we went to Jimmys for dinner and had a server we've never had before, Delilah!! she was probably the best server we've ever had there, so attentive and lovely my drinks were never empty and the food came out so quick, she was above and beyond, more people like her needed in the service industry def requesting her next time! live laugh love jimmy changas read more

We're regulars at this restaurant weekly and Tex-Mex Insider card members. Today was a disappointment. Our waiter seemed to be "out of it" for some reason. He never brought us the two small plates we needed for our Gorilla Peppers so we had to wait and wait as our Peppers got cold then flagged down a manager to bring us two small plates. Also we never got any refills on our tea drinks! In addition, we had to wait and wait and wait for the waiter to bring us our tab to pay so once again I had to flag down a manager for our tab. The waiter also never did return to our table once our meals were brought to us to see if we needed anything. This waiter should have stayed home instead of ruining my wife's birthday dinner! Server: 2803 Chris, 6:38 pm, 06/25/2025. Jay read more

Shout out to our amazing waiter Rob! He was awesome and was very attentive to us. I would definitely ask for him. He gets 5 stars!!!! EXCELLENT SERVICE read more

First time here in awhile. Was greeted by hostess with smile and friendly hello. Got seated and barely got drink orders in and was asked if we wanted appetizers. Heck we had not even had a chance to look at menu yet. Our drink orders arrived after about 10 mins. Then waitress came by to get our food orders. We got that completed and began the wait. After about 45 mins we got our food and only part. My son ordered fajitas and received no tortillas so once we got the reminder of food we asked for them. Most of our order was served warm and food was ok. I went to the bathroom and I thought I walked into a truck stop bathroom. Floor was disgusting, heard a man walk in a stall and walked right back out and stated how disgusting and gross it was. Some improvements needed from customer service and cleanness. Customer service needs read more

Came to Jimmy Changas for lunch during the week. We were very surprised to see no lunch menu offered. It was busy with plenty of seating still available. We ordered the beef fajitas for two and it was very underwhelming. Fajitas didn't come out hot (or sizzling) and beef wasn't flavorful. Tried a few drinks and nothing stood out. They seemed understaffed, as the drinks took 20+ minutes to come out. Ended up finishing lunch down the street to get better drinks. Overall, I will not be returning with the saturated Houston market of Tex-Mex options. read more

Derek kept coming back to check on us . Got us everything we asked for fast! Had many servers but he's the best one so far . Great dining experience today - thank U Derek ! read more

Upon entering the restaurant, there was a stench. Very offputting of somewhere anyone would want to eat. But still, I gave the place a chance, so I went to the to-go order location to place my order since I was not dining in. After placing my order, I went to use the restroom. And it became apparent to me that the odor in the restaurant was coming from the restroom. The restrooms reeked!! In addition to this, the food was mid, at best. It took me 5 years to try this place and honestly, I could've waited 500 more. The only reason I've given this restaurant a two-star rating is because the staff was friendly. read more

What a night! A friend was retiring and we wanted to surprise her with dinner and drinks. Zakary Gibson had everything set up in the back room for 16 people with chips/sauces and escorted us to our seats. He asked if everything was good, we said yes, then he told us Paola Torres would be our waitress for the night. She had 5 different checks, we ordered drinks, they were awesome. She came back and took our orders, food was phenominal! Zak came by and checked on us many times to make sure everything was OK. Paola did not make one mistake with our orders, kept our drinks, sauces, and chips refilled. I could not thank them two enough for the fantastic night we had in celebration! Those two were great last night! read more

I can't say how pleased I am with the service we got from Jimmy Changas. We had business meetings for four straight days and two of those days we had them cater for 20 people with the most fantastic spread you can ask for. Fresh tortillas, beef Carne, spicy chicken, enchiladas, rice, peppers onions fresh guacamole sour cream ice tea everything you can think of they brought it. It was critical we impressed our customers and we were recommended by our colleagues in the ship channel do use them for catered events. The staff that delivered and set it up with passionate, courteous, efficient in and out and all the food was served in sealed aluminum pans to keep warm. This was not cheap but you get what you pay for and we got great service great food and happy customers! That's what I pay for. Highly recommend read more

Noisy. So so food. Not the greatest, but not the worst. That includes the weight staff. They're just there but very helpful and pleasant.

The food was ordinary as anywhere else that serves Mexican food wasn't any worse or any better, but it was kind of pricey

Came in for lunch and had the Mayan maze for a drink which was delicious! Had the southwest egg rolls and gorilla peppers for an app. The egg rolls were pretty good but they didn't take the seeds out the peppers before stuffing them making them inedible. They were so spicy you can't even taste them, and we love spicy food. This just was terrible though. Got the Jimmy changa which had no cheese in it and wasn't cooked long enough to be crispy so it was soggy. Overall not impressed. read more

They need to get their water situation fixed. Because we used to go there all the time and now their water taste like chemical at one point they told us that it was the city of Pasadena. They said that it was levels of chlorine in the water.. but that's a lie because a month has passed and now another waiter told us that it's their filtration system. This to me is unacceptable. read more

Start off with the queso blanco, it is yummy. The chips are light and crisp. Machete Salad is my favorite with fajita beef and chicken. A regular house Margarita with salt does the trick every time. read more

I've been here three or four times over the last four years, and it is always on point. We had to wait on friends on the most recent visit. Even though we were seated promptly, no one made feel unwelcome for taking a big booth & having to wait so long. One criticism would be on the fajita queso - it was light on fajitas and heavy on pick. The pick literally ruined a good queso by watering it down & overpowering it with cilantro. I personally love the stuffed avocado - a whole avocado stuffed with fajita & cheese, lightly breaded, and fried. Utterly amazingly unique! Our server, Jacky, was prompt & efficient. If you are in the area, treat yourself to s unique experience and some creative offerings. The Big Daddy Chimi and Dirty tostadas are also great choices. read more

This is my husband's favorite Tex-Mex restaurant and it's close to our house making it even better. They have a good selection, of good food. There's a child's play area outside which you don't usually see in restaurants. They have outdoor seating which is pleasant about 2 weeks out of the year due to the Texas weather. They also have FREE soft serve ice cream in the usual 3 flavors. Chocolate, vanilla, and indecisive (aka swirl/my favorite) read more

Great atmosphere and friendly staff make this one of my favorite places to dine. The menu has plenty to choose from even for picky eaters. The restaurant is clean and inviting. There is a patio with a play area for families and it's a great choice if you have littles who can't keep still in a restaurant. read more

I've been coming here for the last seven years while on business trips in the area. Tonight was probably the worst service I have received. I sat at the bar since I wasn't with anyone else, and was one of maybe six total people. After I finished my first drink, my glass sat empty for over five minutes. The bartender looked at me several times and just walked by. Apparently, the couple that walked in was more important to talk to (about issues with other servers) than taking care of the other patrons at the bar. Disappointed, as usually the bartenders are pretty good about making sure patrons get asked about refills before their glasses empty. read more

This place is amazing good food FREE ICE CREAM and an outdoor playground for kids over all this place is a 5 star read more

The food was good, the service was terrible! We went on a Saturday afternoon maybe 1-2pm it wasn't busy. We waited way over 20mins for a server as there was plenty of workers just walking past us and not acknowledging us. We were looking around and as finally got up to talk to the host our waitress walks over. Which we saw was standing by the wall on her phone the whole time!! read more

Good Tex mex spot. Their salads are huge and enchiladas are excellent. Service is good too!
