    Jimmy's feast
    Therese T.

    Order the Jimmy's feast as well as their Carne Asada tacos. The beer tacos are delicious if you get them fresh they're so good. I don't recommend taking them out. They're not as good if they're sitting for like 15 minutes. Definitely get them fresh. The consumme is seasoned very well very good. The Carne asada is nowhere near as good as the birria. I'd recommend getting the birria. I haven't tried any of the other proteins though. Service depending on the day could take a really long time. They are pretty popular. Cashier is kind of cranky, but he gets the order correctly, I guess. I mean I'm there mostly for the food so it's fine. The place itself you can sit down and eat. It's outdoors. There's a decent mouse seating. I would recommend going at times when its not going to be crowded otherwise you'll be waiting forever. It's not too many seating. There's also chickens which makes it fun! The decor is honestly fun

    Living in Jalisco and Nayarit I know a thing or two about birria. And this is pretty decent birria. Certainly the best I've had in Florida! I love the vibe of Jimmy's! It's all open-air, so you're IN Tampa. Immersed. I had a taco (Al Pastor), a quesabirria taco, and jalapeño poppers. Clearly, the quesabirria taco is the star of the show. Soft, savory, and served with a cup of jugo / consomme / broth for dipping. Really tasty! The taco al pastor was fine. Served on a soft corn tortilla, not fried, with just the right amount of filling in the traditional way: Meat, onion, cilantro (and a dab of guac because we're Americans, dammit! :-) ) I don't think the tortillas are made on-site, but as a Mexican that's something I'm spoiled by. No stars deducted for this faux pas. The poppers were... disappointing. I think they come off the PFG or Sysco truck, frozen. Dropped in the deep fryer and served up with a side of sour cream. I don't know what I expected, exactly, but after the made-to-order tacos this was a little bit of a letdown. But... bottom line: I'll be back when in Tampa. There's a lot of debate about who serves up the best tacos in Tampa Bay. My vote is Jimmy's. Oh, and for you folks over on the peninsula: They're opening a location in St. Pete the first of November! Woot!

    I had an off-line offer and decided to stop in. The food was very fresh. The chicken was cooked fresh to order and the taco shell was amazing. It took about 15 minutes to receive my order, but it was worth the wait. Customer service was very attentive, nice and patient. The only downside is it's outside only so if you go in the middle of the day, prepare for that and the chickens were very bothersome while eating apparently they are use to being fed here. Another downside is ground. Beef is not available but prices weee nicely valued and lunch special is great! Other than that, I would recommend coming for a fresh taco salad bowl.

    It did feel a little wrong eating my pollo taco next to the roosters. But what a great find! Thanks, Yelpers, for leading me here. I think what hooked me in was one of the reviews making a comment about the neighborhood. Honestly, the neighborhood was absolutely fine. As a solo woman diner, I would have no problem coming back here time and time again. I asked if the gentleman working preferred the queso or the salsa, and he said the queso, so I started off with the queso and chips. Definitely more chips than queso.... But that's OK, because I probably didn't need to finish all the chips I had one Carne Asada and one Pollo taco. The guac on both was very flavorful! I'm usually not a guac person, but this hit the mark perfectly. An absolutely great spot that I'm so happy to have visited! Would totally come back! 2025: 38/100

    Jimmy's Tacos is a super casual taco spot in the heart of Ybor. All seating is open-air, complete with roosters wandering around. We used street parking, but they do have a lot behind the building. Order at the counter and they bring your food out. We shared the chips and guacamole, which was fantastic, then got the carne asada and shrimp tacos. The carne asada was tender and delicious, however the shrimp tacos had a sauce on them that was heavy on the mayonnaise flavor, so we didn't like those as much. Overall, a nice, casual dinner in Ybor. Would come back for the guac and carne asada tacos for sure!

    Three years later and the food here is still so good! I definitely got less food this time lol but no matter what you get here the food will be amazing!!! You'll make new friends with the chickens and roosters who surprisingly aren't that scared of you lol. One rooster definitely wanted to be our friend as it kept calling to us. All and I enjoy myself every time I come. The food is magnificent, the vibe and energy of the restaurant is calming but energetic. Mainly due to the vibrant music being played. So my recommendation is always yes to Jimmy's!

    Walked by here after pickleball, looked interesting and busy decided to give it a try. The staff is friendly and helpful with ordering. We had the Jimmy's feast with 3 tacos and a quesadilla. It was delicious. We also ordered queso and chips , the chips were thick and crunchy the queso was good but not my favorite. It is a quant little spot in ybor and a great value. Will be back.

    Stumbled upon Jimmy's Tacos on an afternoon in Ybor City and it was the highlight of the afternoon! Food is fresh and delicious and staff were outstanding with their recommendations and attentiveness. Seven stars!

    "Chickens, TikTok Hype, and Surprisingly Legit Tacos" Had a shockingly great lunch with the family today. The wait wasn't terrible -- which, honestly, was the first red flag that maybe TikTok had lied to us. We camped out in the shade like true taco hunters, surrounded by actual chickens who, frankly, seemed way too comfortable watching us eat their distant cousins. The tacos themselves? Totally fine. You won't ascend to another dimension or cry tears of joy, but they'll get the job done. The real MVP here is Jimmy's Feast -- two birria options (tacos and quesadilla) that are so flavorful you'll forget for a minute you're eating in a semi-feral petting zoo. Apparently, this place is TikTok Famous, because my daughter discovered it during one of her 7-hour scrolling sessions. Thank you, algorithm, for yet another place I didn't know I needed to visit. It's tucked just off East 7th, right in the middle of a fever dream mashup of cigar lounges, tattoo parlors, live music, and what I assume are at least two haunted pawn shops. Perfect if you want to walk off your tacos and pick up a full sleeve tattoo in the same afternoon. 10/10 would eat Jimmy's birria again. 0/10 would trust TikTok food recommendations without a helmet.

    Jimmy's Tacos is a solid spot for Mexican food in Tampa. The birria tacos are a must and one of my favorites. The other tacos are decent, but the carne asada burrito was just okay. Service is quick as you order at the counter, get a number, and they bring the food out. No reservations, and seating is all outdoor, so keep that in mind. Great for a casual bite. What I ordered: - CHIPS Y GUACAMOLE - JIMMY'S FEAST - CARNE ASADA BURRITO

    I loved my experience here at Jimmy's Tacos. It was a cute spot right in the heart of Ybor. It didn't take long for my order to be taken and brought out to me, and the staff were friendly. I had the birria tacos with a strawberry margarita. Needless to say, everything was empty when I left the table. The tacos were fresh and flavorful, and the strawberry margarita was made to perfection. Overall, I enjoyed myself and would highly recommend.

    This place is getting popular. 2nd visit. Did the 3 street tacos. Very good. Could have more protein. Last time here we got our choice of 2 hot sauces and this time a packaged sauce that I didn't care for.

    Hello there, sir. October 2024

    Hey, Jimmy! So glad we found you! So quaint, so charming, so yummy. My friend I visited on a Saturday afternoon and really enjoyed it. Located just south of Seventh Ave (the main drag) in historic Ybor City, on 17th Street, it's a little yellow building with an eye-catching logo/branding. There's a walk-up, take out window or you can choose to dine on the covered patio. (You walk up to order, they deliver to the table) We ate there, under the patio lights and amongst the visiting roosters (both of which add to the audience). The menu isn't large, but it includes appetizers, sides and desserts. There are lots of soft drink options and I think they've recently added beer, wine and sangria. My friend chose the birria tacos and I had the shrimp tacos, on blue tortillas. They were both tasty-and I was happy the mango salsa on the shrimp tacos wasn't too heavy on the onions. We also shared the chips and queso. (The chips were really good). Everything was super fresh and had a "from scratch" feel to it. Prices are reasonable-there's limited parking on site and a large, multi-story parking garage nearby... and you can walk to all of the other fun spots Ybor has to offer. (We followed up with a visit to a wine bar) I'll definitely go back and try more tacos, the jalapeño poppers, the desserts and the sangria. Plus, I need to keep up with my rooster friends. See you there!

    Xtreme is my favorite guilty not guilty restaurant in Tampa. Staff are friendly and they even…read moreremember you and your orders! They never skimp on the quantity, and I end up with multiple meals. I was eating here at least once every couple of weeks and even since moving away I still have dreams about this place. I normally get the Xtreme burrito with fish (it's nice that they have guac and it doesn't cost extra). I've also gotten the tacos, nachos, and fries. I don't think there is anything I wouldn't recommend. The nachos and fries can definitely be shared with up to 4 people easily. Quality is always solid. They also have vegan and veggie options which is nice for when you're bringing a group of people with different dietary needs. If you want both your stomach and soul satisfied come to Xtreme!

    Another great find near our new home, and only about six miles away!…read more This was our second time ordering delivery from Xtreme Tacos, and both times everything has arrived tasting incredibly fresh. We had it delivered, and honestly, you would never know it had traveled anywhere. Nothing tasted tired, soggy or like it had been sitting around. My son is a creature of habit once he finds something he loves, so he went right back to the Xtreme Loaded Fries with grilled chicken and the Meatlovers Burrito. He LOVES both of them. Me? I love the Xtreme Nachos with chorizo, but unlike my son, I apparently feel obligated to investigate the rest of the menu. This time I ventured out and tried the pork belly MiniChanga and the ground beef Mini Crunchwrap, and I am so glad I did. I love that the mini items let you try something different without committing to another full meal, especially when you already have nachos sitting in front of you calling your name. And then there are the churros. Dear God, the churros. We tried the traditional, caramel and Bavarian cream, and they are to die for. Warm, sweet, indulgent and absolutely worth ordering even when you are convinced you couldn't possibly eat another bite. Apparently you can. Two orders in and Xtreme Tacos has officially made it into our rotation. Fresh food, huge flavor, fun choices, great portions and food that actually holds up beautifully for delivery. One of my favorite things about moving has been discovering all these new places around us, and Xtreme Tacos is definitely another winner.
