I just moved back to the area from San Diego and boy drive thru burrito/taco shops are just not a thing here! It's kind of wild. Breakfast burrito was . A little pricey, but it was nice they went half and half sausage and bacon. Lady who took payment asked me if I wanted salsa, I said yes and to my surprise, no salsa! read more

So I was here at work earlier this afternoon in Monterey Park when I asked the supervising construction worker what was for lunch lol. He was like "man bro, I'm tryna see right now lol". So we go the chopping it up about what's nearby. I got the talmbout what was in Alhambra and he tells me about Jim's Burger in Rosemead which was right down the street. Said he's been going since a kid. I knew where it was cuz I had seen it last week lol. So he then tells me about the "Famous Pollo Loco Plate" and im like, "shyt I gotta try that" lol. Checked em' out on Yelp. Saw good reviews and nice pics of the "Pollo Loco Plate". So when lunch came I clocked out and slid down the street to Jim's. Immediately noticing 2 pickup trucks in their lot so I pulled around in the lot and parked in between both trucks. About to small to medium sized parking lot. And it's Drive-thru accessible for those of you who choose not to get out of their vehicle. Parking lot was clean. Classic burger stand/restaurant. It is well kept and clean inside the establishment. I noticed some guys sitting down eating what it appears to be the "Pollo Loco". And it was some of the workers from back at the job lol. I received nothing but an outstanding and awesome quality service. Both employees were welcoming, friendly, and professional. The cook, Peto. That's my guy !!! Ask or look for him if you're there. Order came out fresh and fast. Waited about like 9 mins in the car until Peto flagged me down to come grab my food from the drive thru window instead of going inside lol. I'm here for an unexpected and helluva experience so it was all good with me. Took my pics right there and everythang lol. But yeah tho, the food is and was very delicious, flavorful, hot and inexpensive. Marinated 1/2 chicken French fries Salad (lettuce, tomatoes and dressing) 2 garlic rolls Total = $15.33 I have no complaints. read more

Came here on two separate occasions and didn't even get food. One time I came to the drive thru. I waited almost 5 minutes and nobody greeted me through the speaker. I tried to talk into it and got nothing back. I thought they were maybe closed but no, they were open and there were a few people inside, just ignoring me I guess? Came another time and went inside and again I wasn't greeted, I wasn't even looked at. I waited a few minutes and then just left. I tried to give this place two chances and was just ignored both times. Guess they don't want business? read more

they charge tax first on ur food then add it up then charge ur ebt card..... screwing the state and me...wasnt the first time eseeee

Free easy parking lot Drive thru My fam has eaten here for 30 years approx The foods not award winning but it's not nasty I recently ordered a cheeseburger for myself & a bacon cheeseburger for my mom & also chili cheese fries. My sis swears by their steak sandwich. They gave a lot of yellow chilis my last visit. Affordable. Yummy food, charred meat, lots of lettuce, cheesy fries, satisfying ! It does its job I'll return & recommend read more

They claim their open but don't put up a sign saying it's closed. No one answers the calls and is always crawling with homeless people there. It always smells like urine and feces. I wouldn't recommend coming to eat here. read more

I can easily say this is the most underwhelming burger I've had all year. Got a cheeseburger combo and was expecting some really flavorful burger and fries. The burger was tasteless, and the amount of lettuce that they put inside the burger... it's like eating a salad. The burger lettuce ratio is way off. Set your expectations low for this joint otherwise you'd be disappointed for sure. McDonald's literally eye view up the block and walkable distance so you know I had to go there instead to get some nuggets. That usually never disappoints! I like how the drive thru was easy to get through. The inside of the place looks like a run down old school diner. We got our food quick. Parking is available in their lot. read more

Parking: They have a small parking lot but there is plenty of street parking. They also have a drive through window! Ordered: We had the double cheeseburger with added pastrami and onion rings. 5/5 The burger was massive which made it a bit hard to eat neatly, but it was delicious! Would definitely order again 3/5 The onion rings were okay. I wish the batter didn't fall off the onions and that they were crispier. Service/Interior: The staff is very friendly and the place definitely feels like a mom/pop shop. The interior has been the same for 20 years which brought back tons of memories for my boyfriend who use to come all the time back in high school. Watch your step when heading to the seating area as there is a steep slope up! Conclusion: Would definitely come back for their burgers! read more

We live somewhat close by to Jim's and we pass by it everyday. We knew it was only a matter of time before we tried it. It seems like there's a steady flow of customers coming in and out everyday. That must be a testament to Jim's Burgers having good food. I always ask staff for recommendations when I go to different spots in order to order the best food. I was told that the Pollo Loco Plate and Cheeseburgers were popular. What we ordered: -Cheeseburger & Fries & Drink $14.6 -Pollo Loco Plate $15 The Pollo Loco Plate is 1/2 chicken marinated in our famous juice served over fries with a salad and a dinner roll. This is a healthy portion of food. It's nice having fries with the salad as usually you must pick one or the other. The chicken is grilled and has some nice spice and flavors to it. It was mostly cooked well. My only complaint is that it was a bit too burnt at times. I like how their grilled the dinner roll. The Cheeseburger Combo came with a 1/4 hamburger topped with melted cheese, fries and a medium drink. Believe it or not! This was a solid burger. I like how there was a nice crunch to the burger with the iceberg lettuce. The burger was cooked to perfection. The fries were perfectly seasoned as well and complimented the cheeseburger. This is a nice neighborhood spot to enjoy in Rosemead. I love signs and I'm real sucker for any kind of googie sign. Jim's sign is really cool! The service was very good. All the staff were very helpful and friendly. It's nice to go to a no frills place where tipping is not expected and you still get good service on top of a good meal. read more

Fresh, quality breakfast burrito. The Jim's Burgers looks shabby, but it's got a drive thru and the people working there are very friendly. The breakfast burrito there is large and tasty. It's a standard American style breakfast burrito and it just needs a better salsa pairing (the mild tomato chunks don't cut it). It's a no frills, big cheap breakfast burrito. read more

Don't really come here for anything else except their pollo loco plate, or just for some classic seasoned fries. Old school and charming, but also can feel sketch at night LOL especially with my last visit dining in and we got shirtless dudes in a old Honda with no license plates blazing it outside and then a cop coming after my meal to question them is the peak experience of this joint anyways, their pollo loco plate is truly a go to craving. Chicken is charred and juicy. Their tangy salsa which is unique and one of a kind (I think they throw in pepperonichis or banana peppers in it), but it's ADDICTING. I personally will eat it like crack with my chicken. I would like the recipe one day for sureee Also, don't expect great service. The same dude's been working here tho since I've tried it in HS so it's an institution at this point. read more

I stopped by for a quick bite and ended up getting the avocado cheeseburger with chili cheese fries. We were looking for a burger with that mom and pop feel. The avocado burger was okay. Take a look at the picture and you'll see that the majority of it was veggies. It definitely overpowered the thin burger patty. However, I loved the chili cheese fries. They put cheese crumbs so it easily melted and the chili didn't taste too salty as I've noticed with other chilis. I like how they allow you to upgrade your fries from the combo to chili cheese fries. Parking was plentiful when we went and the cashier was friendly. I'd go again, but not sure I'd go out of my way for it. read more

Ordered chicken plate and received old one that had been sitting around. Will not ever support again.

This place exceeded my expectations for how dirty a place could be. Tables were visibly soiled. No restrooms for customers. Hopefully there's a sink for staff to wash their hands? Chili cheese fries looked more like gravy and not chili. Chili cheese burger bun was stale and hard. Fish taco was not bad but because the tables were so dirty, it left me questioning how fresh the ingredients are and how they prepared the food. Service was friendly. They initially ran out of limes for the fish taco but later found some. Prices were surprisingly high for how rundown the place is. To be honest I don't understand how they stay in business. Maybe the thing to get is onion rings and zucchini fries? I won't be able to tell you because we don't plan on returning. I'd rather get the taco truck or Yoshinoya which is in walking distance. read more

TWO WORDS - zucchini fries. Zucchini fries are deserving of five stars alone. I haven't eaten here in over a decade, but I recently had their zucchini fries and onion rings. It was just as amazing as I remembered. :') so worth the cheat meal. read more

They ripped me off filling up my salad half the plate. They also messed up on my order by not giving me my drink when I ordered a cheese burger special. I have always ordered a chicken salad and they have always filled up the plate. Not to mention the salad was almost $13. Ive been coming here for almost 30 years. It's overpriced wont be coming here anymore. read more

I have been coming to Jim's for a while. Food quality hasn't changed, still super bomb. We come mainly for their pastrami sandwich which I think is better than the pastrami sandwich at The Hat. Prices have gone up though but that's how it is everywhere. We got 2 pastrami sandwiches with a horchata and the total came out to almost $35. read more

Sadly, original owner passed away. His son has hiked up the price on all items. We started paying under $5 for a plate of chicken now costs almost $15.00. Service has declined. Arrived at 9:00 pm to eat the place was closed. Quite unfortunate, this place used to be the spot to go to, not anymore. . read more

I remember back in HS (about ten years ago), my mom once got me a plate of "red chicken" from this location & I fell in love with it. Today, I was driving by & remembered the place, so I stopped by & asked if they sold "red-looking chicken" (don't judge me, but that's the only way I could explain it to them, lol) & the man taking my order was excited to say he knew what I was talking about lol his joy & welcomeness made my day. I then went ahead & completed my order & ate the chicken, and it tasted exactly how it did ten years ago. It was probably a slow day for them today, but man, how I pray they get more customers cause 1. Those people are the kindest 2. That "red chicken," also known as El pollo loco plate, is delicious! Thank you for bringing back memories & keeping that dish as good as it was the first time!! read more

HIGHLY recommend the pollo loco special. Ask for well done fries to ensure you get the fresh batch and ask for the seasoning on the fries. Will not disappoint. Quick service if you call in the order ahead of time. read more

Their ground beef hard shell tacos make my so happy. Honestly taste like homemade tacos. $5- each and their worth it. Packed with ground beef, lettuce, headed cheese & crunchy. It's old school needs a face lift but you don't come to these places to eat for that. Lots of seating. Parking in the back. No AC. Drive thru also. read more

Decided to try Jim's Burgers out for dinner on a Saturday evening. Bacon Cheeseburger (~$6): The size of the burger was solid but the patty was thin and extremely dry/overcooked. For the price, might as well get a double double from In-N-Out for cheaper. Chili Cheese Fries ($7): Medium sized fries topped with chili. Overall decent but just a tad bit too salty on the chili. Eat while its fresh or it does dry out fairly quickly. Wouldn't go out of my way for it. read more

Drive thru, takes credit card and quick food. Cheap burgers and fries. Large fries is enormous!!! Might be enough or more than enough for maybe 4ppl but there was only 2 of us. I asked for extra crispy which was nice....I may ask for extra extra next time. They were generous with the ketchup packages...maybe because large fries was like 2x the size it would be. Burgers were decent. Extra lettuce is free. Dressing is thousand island (dairy). Staff was nice. Speaks and understands English. read more

The San Gabriel valley is blessed with this gem! They open early and have a great breakfast menu. You can pretty much tell them what you like and they'll prepare it for you. They serve breakfast items that taste just as good as those fancy smancy establishments for half the price! In this region, this restaurant has set the benchmark for great food at an affordable price. read more

Haven't Been Here in awhile The Ownership Has Changed as Well as The Food..The Food here used to Be Good but Now it Sucks... The Food Isn't Really That Good I ordered Chorizo and Eggs It was a Bit Pricey and My Complaint is That The Chorizo wasn't Cooked all the way... It was Terrible ... Not Going Back... The Service was Quick and Even Though it's Family Oriented I Wouldn't Bring My Family Here I Don't Recommend read more

(FOOD) I've driven past this place for 10 years and never bothered to try until today because I'm sick of In N Out. Got the cheeseburger and small fries. The portions were pretty generous for 8 bucks. The burger was big and included chopped lettuce, a very light burger sauce, raw onions, grilled onions, and cheese on top of a thin juicy patty. I liked it! Reminds me of traditional diner burgers I used to eat as a kid. The small fries is definitely not a small size... They give a mountain of very crispy thick fries. It was a LOT of fries. I can only imagine what their large fry is. (SERVICE) Great! Food came out quick despite how busy it was. (PLACE) It's an old looking diner and I imagine it's been around for 20+ years. It has a very 90s vibe to it. There is plenty of seating inside and it's clean. (VERDICT) I wish the burger sauce was stronger. It's flavor is too subtle for a diner burger sauce. Regardless, it was still a good burger and I would definitely come back again. 4/5 read more

Very disappointing experience. Jim's Burger claims to be open until 10 PM, but when I arrived at 9:40 PM, I waited at the drive-thru for 2 minutes and no one showed up or acknowledged me. If you're going to stop serving before closing time, update your hours! Won't be coming back. read more

Went there one lunch time to try their burger,I order a double burger which I like would be back to try their pastrami sandwich

This place is very antihygienic they touch their radio and other dirty surfaces and then they go touch the food their cooking with out washing their hands. Also all their condiments like lettuce,onion and other condiments are not covered. I made that observation last time i was there and it's very sad because the food is good but after watching all this i don't think i will go there again. read more

So they have a drive through that surprisingly moves not too slow. We placed a $65 order at the window and it took less than 5 minutes to fulfill and drive off! I think that's pretty amazing. The food is good, not omg good, but pretty decent to satisfy your cravings. We ordered fish taco plate, famous pollo loco combos, carne asada tacos, cheeseburgers etc. Ask for extra salsa, it's pretty special. Located across the street from Garvey elementary. read more

I love this place! It's down the street from me and just delicious. My favorite things are their cheeseburgers, the carne asada plate, and seasoned fries yummmm! My mom usually gets the pollo loco plate which is delicious as well. The only thing is the service, because they always seem to forget a whole item. Even when they aren't busy, they get busy chit chatting and don't get the order right, even after calling ahead and restating the order in person. Also they have horchata and orange bang which is definitely a plus. Just make sure that you check your order before you pay and take off. And the drive thru can be a little sketch; sometimes I have to pull up to the window because they won't acknowledge you at the speaker some days that I've been. read more

The food is probably good here but for 2 pastrami meals and 1 single pastrami total came out to $65 bucks... , I just had to leave. That price is ridiculous. Got the same order up the street from THE HAT, that's been around since 1951 read more

Has the best breakfast and pollo loco plate around. They do get busy and they might have a wait time but it is worth it. I have been coming here for decades and it feels like a step back on time i a positive way. Most people go through the drive thru but they do have some sitting inside. read more

We ordered takeout at Jim's Burgers. My first time eating here but my boyfriend has come here quite often when he was younger He loves the El Pollo Loco since young and always orders it. I tried it. Honestly the chicken was pretty dry. It may be good to him because he grew up with it. I ordered a hamburger with fries, my usual basic order to test out the place. It was a decent burger, no frills. They give plenty of pickles, which I like. If you're not a fan, make sure to request for less. The fries were large, not too crispy. It gives me a sense of old-school diner which I like, but compared to the quality of other burgers around the area, not that special. I'd still recommend trying it out since it's a local business. read more
