Jimmy Hulas has been our go to spot for year now but not anymore. We keep trying to look past the dirty floors and tables but no longer. The food has gone downhill as well. Makes us sad but when a restaurant is dirty in the front of house you know the back of house is worse. The tables outside look like they haven't had a good cleaning in years. Employees walk past food and napkins on the floor. Tables sit dirty from the time you enter, order, eat and leave. We will be finding a new taco place read more

There is nothing better than clicking on those stars and Yelp asking. Amazing! What went well...? Then my first thought being I don't know where to start. If you're a fan of Velvet Taco, this place gives them some competition. The Kingston taco stuffed for jerk, chicken, sweet, plantains, avocado, and some amazing sauce. The Baja taco overflowing with grilled Cajun fish, some sort of slaw magic with corn and some mayonnaise based sauce. I had to eat this one halfway with some chips. It was just overflowing. Don't forget your forks when you get a taco. The young man at the register was nice. By the way, this is a place you go up to the register in order and sit down. They bring the food out to you. The bar was full of people. I'm going to guess we're locals. I sit outside on the patio because why not I'm in Florida. I did remove one star because the tables were pretty dirty. Even the napkin box was dirty as if it had not been cleaned in quite some time in the water absolutely gross. If you're picky about your water, get bottled water the ice water. The amazing tacos made up for all the rest. It's also Sunday and it looks like they have live music the guy setting up now at 2:30 pm. read more

Hubby and I were looking for a quick meal, other than fat food. We were on our way to another eatery and since hubby wanted a burger we found Jimmy's Hula's. Well, there wasn't signage to 'seat yourself' or 'wait to be seated' which was a bit confusing for the first time. Nor was there a greeter/host for seating. The guy behind the bar just looked at us as to say 'don't ask me'. Overall, the staff attitudes were a bit off putting due to their lack of 'energy'. The food... Hubby ordered a cheeseburger with fries. It looked tasty and he enjoyed it. My fish taco was tasty. The negative part comes to the side of tortilla chips. They tasted stale, old, and were cold, like they sat out for a day or more. There were approximately 8 chips or so on the platter. The overall look of the place was very eclectic and definitely had a beach + Jamaica vibe going on. The wall decor was quite varied, which lends itself to that unique vibe. Also, the restaurant was colorful and somewhat nicely color coordinated. The glass garage doors captured that eclectic atmosphere too. Unfortunately, we'll not visit again. It's important to maintain a welcoming atmosphere, fresh sides, and a sense of customer satisfaction. Too bad. BTW, the ladies room could use a bit more cleaning. read more

Stopped in Ormond Beach on our way to a cruise. Found this place on line so decided to give a try. Neat little "tiki bar" vibe! Small and unassuming , but the food was very much top shelf! My wife had The Duke burger with bbq pork and cheese. I had two excellent tacos- The Killer and The Johnny Utah. All of it was delicious. Reasonably priced for a tourist town! Would definitely eat here again! read more

Jimmy Hula's is incredibly dependable in Ormand Beach on Granada that serves as a friendly come-as-you-are tacos and bowls joint for locals and those visiting that know about it from the locals. The tacos are magical as I devoured each of my three with voracious glee. The servers are very friendly and patient, and we had our food within a few minutes of ordering. Sitting in the outdoor seating area, I enjoyed the Luau tacos that were made with teriyaki chicken, pineapple mango pico, and creamy teriyaki sauce. The fire-roasted avocados were also very creamy with spice from the hot sauce basted on top. The vibes are very chill and relaxed. They have a full liquor bar and the colors of the walls and trim represent a relaxed cabana environment that could be on an island retreat. Would return to try more of the menu, without question. read more

A true vibe... Nestled in a shopping plaza, you'd never expect to stumble upon this hidden gem of a restaurant... The quick service style mix with upbeat atmosphere and great live music makes for a real treat! The prices are incredible, and the food speaks for itself. Things tend to take a little while, but it's great food and Gets to be quite the hopping spot! read more

We were a party of 5 that came for the evening meal on Saturday 4/18. We ordered our food at the cash register on one bill and went out on the patio to find a table. No one came to clean the table, which was very soiled. We waited a long while for the food, then only one meal came. Another lengthy wait, then two more meals showed up. 15 minutes later we finally got the remaining two meals. By then the first three had finished. The only good thing was the food. The place looked very disorganized and poorly run. read more

I ordered tacos and a Teriyaki Bowl with chicken, jasmine rice, teriyaki sauce, onions, red peppers, carrots, zucchini, mushrooms, pineapple, lava sauce, and guacamole for an extra $2. However, when I received my order, the bowl only had chicken and rice. It was missing all of the vegetables, the pineapple, and the guacamole that I paid extra for. In addition, my order was supposed to be ready for pickup at 4:58 PM, but I had to wait an additional 40 minutes. Overall, this was a very frustrating experience because the order was incomplete and the wait time was much longer than promised. read more

My go to stop on vacation. A must at least twice during the week, and one of those has to be to go eaten on the beach. The flavor combos are outstanding, and never disappoint. The Kingston taco is a MUST! 10/10 read more

No fish at all at 3:30! Furniture is torn and dirty. Smells dirty. Won't be going back.

Food delivered by Uber eats was not edible. Burger overcooked and like shoe leather. Shrimp on salad were frozen baby shrimp and provided less than a teaspoon of dressing. read more

This hit the spot! Having never been here before, I didn't know that it was a local Florida chain. Now I just wish that they had more locations across the US! I came in with my mom for a quick lunch. We walked inside and ordered at the counter, grabbed a number, and sat on their covered patio outside. It's in a shopping plaza, so not the cutest of views, but we wanted to enjoy the warmer weather. The young man who took our order was very kind. Our food came out within I think about 10 to 15 minutes? (We came on a Wednesday late afternoon with rainy weather) The Zion Bowl was absolutely to die for. Now I just wish I had the recipe recipe for myself so I could make it at home. My mom also said that the Pokado also really filling with the grilled avocado and poke on top. If I lived in the area, I would probably have this for lunch at least once a week. We left feeling so satisfied and full. Also, the price point was pretty awesome in comparison to what it'd be at home. Jimmy, two thumbs up! read more

Mercy...had the tsunami tacos. They were soooooooo good. You place your order at a counter and they bring it to you. Efficient system.

10/10 would recommend the buffalo Caesar tacos! The cashier and waiter was impeccable I would go back again.

At least service is good. Food is mediocre. Setting is not what you would think. Set in a strip mall/plaza with views of a parking lot. At least I tried it , but won't come back. read more

The wipeout tacos were really good. They have fries inside them which was a weird concept to me but they ended up being really good. The chips that came with them were stale. The waitress/cashier that took our order seemed like we were bothering her. There was a one man band playing live. I wasn't a fan of the order at the bar and then sit at the table. No service at the table at all but I guess that their restaurant model. read more

We absolutely loved our evening at Jimmy Hula's. Camryn was our bartender and was mixing up some amazing $5 Margaritas! She also was super attentive and friendly the entire night. You could tell that she truly enjoyed her job, which is rare these days. Besides the great service from Camryn we LOVED the tacos and cheesy rice and beans. You must try the Wipe Out taco. Thank you Jimmy Hula's for the cool restaurant concept and great atmosphere! read more

Great tacos. The staff is very friendly and well trained. Easy parking.Ambiance will definitely eat there regularly.

This is a nice little taco spot. I walked over from the beach (less than a 5 min walk). Very friendly staff as well as they are very knowledgeable of their menu. I went middle of the week semi lunch time there was plenty of seating and staff on duty. You walk up to the front desk to order they give you a number marker that you place at whatever table you choose to sit at. They'll bring everything over to you/ask if you need anything else. Overall the food was okay could use a bit more seasoning on the protein parts of the food but other than that I'll go back if I'm ever in town. read more

I love this place! Maybe tonight was just a bad night? Or, maybe the last few times were just off days? Between the orders that were wrong and the young staff who was visibly talking about customers including me...they should scrap the project and start over. I use to LOVE this place and the atmosphere. Not anymore. read more

WILL NEVER RETURN TO THIS ESTABLISHMENT EVER AGAIN! Went here after going to Ormond beach, we paid $35 for 4 tacos, 1 drink and 1 side of queso that came with a drink. The fish inside it tasted good but it was the size of my middle finger. The portions at this restaurant were a slap in the face for the price you paid. You can order fries and a drink for $5 dollars more on your order, or you can deal with the disgusting, stale, under portioned "chips" that they serve on your plate. The restaurant seems to have no one over the age of 22 which means that the staff is ill experienced. I could tell be how long it took for them to address me as I stood at the counter with my plate of (no lie) 6 stale tortilla chips and 2 tiny fish portions with a mountain of mango and pineapple salsa while the tortilla seemed they were toasted at 6am that morning in preparation for orders. The staff bickered in front of me as they tried to get me fresh chips (which didn't exist). The kitchen staff then said these chips are the same as the ones he has already. Which means that this staff does not taste anything before it goes out the window. If they had, they would have know that their tortilla chips were stale yesterday... BUT instead of performing an 86 on the chips, they just continued to portion them out to people 6 to 7 chips at a time. The kitchen staff seemed extremely disconnected from what customers were paying for their food, because if they had they would be on their knees apologizing for their foul display of food... The atmosphere was that of a never cleaned bar because every table was sticky. The tables outside were either scavenged by birds while the 1 person they have cleaning tables and delivering food wanders around like a zombie. Seemed like his first job ever so I'll give the kid a break. I kept my cool when dealing with the mediocracy of this establishment since I was with my fiancée and her friend, but y'all will get it in the review, don't worry. In conclusion, this restaurant is poorly-cleaned, poorly-staffed, poorly-trained, as well as their slap in the face portion sizes after you overpaid for stale food! I wish I could give this restaurant half a star but yelp wont let me... read more

Food was great but the kitchen arguing with wait staff needs to be controlled. Waited 40 mins after my food was supposed to be ready fries were cold and simply everything else. If it's not busy maybe it's good but cold food sucks we you spend $60 read more

Normally it's a great experience, but this time was different. We ordered food as usual and received it at random times. Everyone received their meal except one and when I asked I get a pay answer that they are working on it. I've never had a problem here before, but this is unacceptable in my opinion. So sad maybe never coming here again. read more

Slow and the place is filthy. The food never comes out at the same time and so you can't eat together.

Wipeout!!!! Probably One Of The Best Tacos I've Ever Had. Bought 3 And Mad I Disn't Have 4.Something About The Sauce And Topping. Outstanding Taco. read more

I came here for dinner last night with my husband and 3.5 year old while on vacation this week. It looked like it would be a good place for a quick casual dinner. We all ordered and my husband paid, and then they told us they were out of tuna, so he had to order something else, even though he already paid and nothing else on the menu was as expensive as his original order. No offer to refund the difference in price. Then when they brought out our food, for some reason they brought my husband his bowl, and then didn't bring anything else for about 10min. My daughter's chicken tenders came next, and they were absolutely scalding hot. Thankfully, I checked them before she burned herself. Eventually my meal came after a long wait. I got the gnarly nachos with chicken, which turned out to be a huge portion, but the layering was awful, piles of jalapeños, beans buried under all the chips, big pools of what tasted like gas station queso, and 2 mounds of brown guacamole. Unfortunately, we left feeling unimpressed. read more

They have a great variety of tacos to choose from! The staff is really friendly and it was a nice vibe. Later in the evening, they had live music so that was a nice touch. The tacos are really filling so if you come hungry, 3 tacos will get the job done. I also had the surfin california burrito which was really good. I would definitely recommend. They have lots of seating for small and large groups. read more

We ordered the food was told food going to be 40 for it to come out. We was ok with that they were busy but it should have been our warning to go elsewhere. We ordered hamburgers that came out thinner than McDonald's hamburger that was $9.00 without fries. Fries were extra. They came out before the hamburgers and only good thing about our meals. I had to send mine back because it was missing half the meat it looked like it got stuck on the grill and was just a hard thin crust of meat. Everyone's burgers was burnt around the edges. I think their grills were up to high. Wouldn't go back. read more

They need to teach there employees some etiquette they are all rude and nasty and don't care about there customers!!! read more

Wow! Did this place go downhill! We sat at the bar, didn't order food because of the recent heath department inspections. FYI, check the DBPR app to check inspections. Friday afternoon about 3ish, only 1 other person at the bar and I had to get up and ask the bartender for 2 more beers for my wife and I. Watched the kitchen staff playing like it was recess at grade school. Will never go back! I predict this will be one of the next restaurant/bar to go under. So sad that management lets this happen. RIP read more

We went for my son's birthday to enjoy a meal together. I agree with other reviews. Staff is not friendly and almost make you feel uncomfortable being there. They don't clean the tables at all. At 8:20pm they begin to close down the restaurant. This is a location by the beach where tourist could come. They have fluorescent lights on which makes no atmosphere. Feels like I am at my work office. Maybe some music and dim the lights. The staff on the other hand they need a course at Chick-fil-A. They have you tip at register, so I guess they don't make an effort at the tables. Food was just okay. We won't be back. read more

Went on a Tuesday night, ordered our food, staff was friendly found a seat. The place was busy but not overly packed. I ordered 3 kids meals, 2 tacos and queso with chips. One kids meal came out, she completely finished her meal before the next two kids meals came out, they also completely finished their meals, then the queso came out. The server asked at that point If we were waiting on anything else I said yes I'm still waiting on my tacos, she apologized and brought them out within a few minutes so I had to sit there and eat while my three kids stared at me since they were all completely done. I don't understand the timing of the food coming out. It was horrible. The kids grilled cheese was burnt my kids barely ate it. My shrimp tacos were ok. The shrimp was tiny frozen type shrimp. Definitely not the big fresh shrimp I'm used to. I wasn't impressed at all. They had more filling than protein. read more

Jimmy Hula's - Baja tacos with shrimp - Tacos Near Me - Ormond Beach, Florida

When you have to tell someone two drinks you want to drink 3 times I guess your expectation should be low. Waited 40 minutes for nachos when I asked they said it would be up shortly 10 minutes late I went back up to the counter and they were just telling the cooks to make it. Ordered a buffalo chicken caesar taco and there was 0 buffalo on it. Worse experience ever. We went there with some family who were visiting, it was their first time. I would not recommend this place at all. read more

I would not recommend this place. After finishing our food, and asking for a refill there was a customer with a messed up order, and I saw the kitchen picking off the wrong toppings with their bare hands, no gloves. Just Absolutely disgusting. read more

This review is of the facility not of the food. This place looked terrible. Dust everywhere (even on the garage door tracks), floors need scrubbed, clean mats put out and the restrooms need gutted. This whole place is in dire need a fresh face lift! read more

Good place for lunch very close to beach and great selection of tacos at a reasonable price

I want to start off by saying im pregnant... so when it comes to food I don't play! if it's not the way I like I, I will throw it up! I asked multiple times for extra sauce either on the side or on my Baja bowl. when I got home there was barely and sauce on it!! To say the least, very disappointed!! couldn't even finish with how dry it is! read more

We were so pleasantly surprised to find this after a day at the beach! We needed to accommodate vegetarian, gluten free, keto and kids -- and this place nailed it. The chipotle black bean burger was delicious. The Baja burrito bowl was "better than anything at a Chipotle." They were able to swap a burger bun for a lettuce wrap, and the burger was "perfect." Genuinely friendly customer service, too. Thanks for a great lunch stop. read more

Very good food, and extremely friendly service! Definitely recommend! Very convenient lunch stop after a day at the beach.

Cute atmosphere and a good place for a quick vegan veggie bowl. Nothing super fancy if you're plant based but it's a nice option that's by the beach. read more
