Why do I own several Jimboy’s Tacos restaurants? First and foremost, it’s the food. Jimboy’s has the best tacos period – and nothing even comes close. A high percentage of our customers return frequently, and very simply, it is because they crave our food. That gives us a competitive edge over other concepts. Just as importantly, I trust the executive team at Jimboy’s Tacos. They have a passion for the concept, they make things happen and they have a formula for success.

They had good food, friendly staff that even though my app wasn't working for the free taco, he made it work somehow. I would recommend this location to everyone! I love Jimboys!

This location is always on time for online orders, always friendly and the food is correct. Quality is on par with other Jimboy's. Which is to say it's far better than an "American taco' place should be. So freakin' good and I really don't know why. Best fast food in the Sacramento area.

Food is always good. But the service at the place has gotten worse. Not sure what happened to the crew that was there for a while. It seems now there are younger help that don't care. Always standing around on their phones. Getting orders wrong quite often.

Might be better if the staff is not all standing around chatting. Touching/leaning on customer cups. Spreading germs. Food was just okay.

The tacos are addictive! The service is great. They usually get the orders right - but they'll fix it no problem if you need them to.I recommend this place.

Jim boys on Elk Grove Blvd. Was really nice. I was impressed with the avocado salad. The one in Greenhaven ?? They need help. They were kind and sweet. But they need help.

This location's tacos were a taste of my childhood. My wife and I are visiting the Sacramento area from out of state, and we're wanting a taste of when we grew up in the Sacramento area. Jimboy's has kept their tacos the same as I remember from the 1980s and early 1990s. They had a winner back them with the tacos and still do. Thanks, Jimboy's for keeping these delicious tacos, they are not the traditional Mexican tacos with onions and cilantro, which I love but I also love Jimboy's tacos. The French fries I hadn't had until this visit, wow they are really good. I highly recommend if it is your first visit to try the tacos and the French fries, they are well worth the cost.

This place is always great. I prefer this location over the Bruceville one. This location has the grill seasoned just right!! ❤️

Everytime I go to the Sacramento area, this place is a must for me. I enjoy the tacos & the bean and cheese burritos. So far no matter which Jimboys I go to, I haven't been disappointed.

They are in no danger of getting a Michelin star rating.It's good fast Mexican food. When you want a decent quality, basic dish to scratch that taco itch... This is the place.Grab a friend or family member, order what you want (plus some chuuros and one more taco than you should), and be happy.
ed Tallman
02:46 29 Mar 23
Yah know, the tacos were good and we want out of our way to go there. Maybe it's the younger generation and lack of service experience. It wasn't bad but when you argue of what was ordered (a single taco), it's not worth the customers business. I've been in the customer service business for over 30 years ,it's just not worth it. Always think long term , unless the customer is obnoxious and out of hand.Food was good if in area by chance might stop by but won't make a point of it.

I ordered two chicken tacos and a side of guacamole. I got home and the tacos were beef, not chicken. And, they gave me a knife for my guacamole instead of a spoon. I have been going to this Jimboy’s since at least 2007, and normally everything is great. I shouldn’t have to open up my tacos or burritos to see if the meat is the correct type I ordered. **Employees – – please make sure you make the food as ordered by the customer** I guess I should have looked more closely at the receipt because I now see my order was entered as beef. How do you confuse the word beef with chicken?

I made it a point to stop at Jimboy's Tacos to eat on my last trip to Sacramento area. I like the taste and style of taco's they serve.

The best tasting beef tacos in the Sacramento area are made by Jimboy's, which is one of the fastest restaurants in the building's back at the intersection of Marconi and Eastern. One of their more recent locations, albeit not very noticeable, is nevertheless worth visiting! It won't be a regret.

This location has no Samsung Pay. But has two high chairs if a family needs one. And this location very clean. And pretty good guest service.
Amber Butler

Food was OK, woman taking our order couldn't understand or hear us, which made for an irritating ordering experience. Food was decent, the quality of their food has gone way down. Not the same jimboys I grew up eating.

First time at this location. Wow they did a great job. Even the presentation of the food. Food was great. Made the other locations look bad.

First time I've stopped in to try after years of seeing them around. Food was really good for what I would consider "fast food" with a friendly staff. Will be back next time I'm in the area.

Pretty good, but it would be nice all places not just jimboy's but all places spread out the condiments throughout the whole burrito so it's not all in one lump sum in one area other than that it was great.FYII appreciate corp office response, by the way JIM BOYS I still eat there often :) its not only Jimboys it is a lot of places that do not spread the ingredients throughout the burrito you know?It should be the same in every bite :)

Tasty tacos, not traditional Mexican food if that is what youwant, but good and unique with the parmesan crust. I tried the fries and they were well seasoned. I didn't know that they were wedge fries so that was different. I recommend you give it a try!

Dude! This was freaking good! My buddies and I came up to Sac-Town to see Hatebreed and stopped in to Jimboys under a recommendation. We are all super impressed. Fantastic food. Didn’t expect this! Nice job!

Fantastic food. I love their vegetarian options and great burritos. Fast, affordable, and delicious for sure.

Something was different today. We live over an hour away but always make a point of stopping here for chicken tacos. In the past it's been the taste you crave plus hot and affordable and always tidy dining and washrooms. The taco was hot, but just didn't taste the same. I can't put my finger on what's different and since we got it to go, didn't have a chance to ask what had changed. Maybe I'm wrong, but I was really disappointed... Maybe they forgot something or the cook was new. Anyhow, again, it was hot for sure , had parmesan cheese on the outside, and it was grilled with melted white cheese and lettuce inside with the chicken. I'm not sure whether there were other seasoningsYes, I'll try again next time I'm in Sac. Meanwhile I was glad I was eating it, just not thinking about how yummy it was the entire time like I usually do. Also it took a long time for someone to come to the counter and take our order even though no other customers were there. In the past, there's been a line, and the cashiers have been really upbeat and on point. Again.. this may be a fluke an I'll definitely go back. Their former fare has been excellent! And I love that it's hot!

02:41 01 Jul 22
Their tacos are fantastic, particularly the beef and carnitas. But if you're looking to go crazy, get their taco burger and some fries with cheese... it's amazing! Also, those are all gluten free!!! Much of their menu is gluten free.

Great tasting food at a decent price that doesn’t seem like fast food but rather sit down style.

Good, simple, quick food. Nothing to write home about, but it sure is better than most fast food places. Definitely recommend this place to everyone.
Teresa Miller

I always enjoy the food some of the people taking the orders could use some people skills. I don't speak very much at the window or acknowledge a thank you. Not saying they were mean just very non-social.
EXCELLENT FINISH
07:29 28 Feb 22
They consistently do a good job with the food. The original taco is always good, and the Tahoe burrito with carnitas is the best
Donna Tanaka
22:41 05 Dec 21
Food still good. We love their Rice and Beans so we order extra serving to eat later to make a rice and bean burrito. YumHowever, the last time we were there from drive-thru, they rang up 6 orders of the rice and beans instead of just getting 1 order. Ha ha ha...LOL, we got home wondered why the bill was HIGH. So we just Froze the extra and just laughed it off.

Jimboy's Tacos are the best in the fast food business. Their distinct seasoned meat stuffed into their parmesan rolled tortillas give their tacos a unique flavor that can't be beat. Their menu features combo plates with your choice of entree along with salad, beans & chips. Every item is as good as the first.Jimboy's serves authentic Mexican cuisine you'd expect in a fine Mexican restaurant, but serves it up fast through their drive-up. It is worth the price when you want an extra-special meal, fast.

Tacos where good, I've been to this location many times and always great, this time just good.
Daniel Nelson
00:55 08 Jun 21
Jimboy's Tacos are hands down the best taco I have ever had. The tacos have a parmesan cheese sprinkle on the outside of the soft corn tortillas, and it makes a difference. My go to is the ground beef, but have had shredded beef, and pork with no complaints.I'm glad I don't live closer, or it would be a weekly stop for lunch, where I could easily put 6 tacos down without needing a nap afterwards.

This place is definitely a hit or miss. I like their chicken tacos, they are my favorite thing since they got rid if their shrimp tacos. This place is definitely a but more pricey, I mean $5 for a cheese quesadilla that had almost no cheese!?!?! Was definitely a bit of a disappointment. Normally they are really good. I guess it just depends.
Dolores Martinez

The food was good as usual but the service was HORRIBLE,,, the employees working the window clearly dislije their jobs otherwise they'd provide service with a smile,, corporate needs to retrain or clean house.... not good service at all.....

The carnitas burrito was delicious but that's all it was just meat, I thought I seen more in the picture. Their tacos are a MUST TRY. Tacos were my reason for going but had a long drive so ordered more. This location has the best bean and cheese burritos I've had since 10yrs ago when I lived in another city. Would've got 5 stars if they offered custard filled churros because we remember them as always being cream filled or maybe they don't have them anymore. Also would have prefered a friendlier drive thru employee. She wasn't rude just had a 'Don't want to be here' quiet attitude. Which made us want to get our food quicker and leave. But we know what it's like working in customer service and food service, it's draining.

Jimboy's located in the rear bldg at the corner of Marconi & Eastern is one of the fastest & makes the best tasting beef tacos in & around Sacramento area. This is one of their newer locations & it's not highly visible but well worth the visit! You won't be sorry.

The hubby has always loved their tacos and I'm happy to say they now serve healthier options...My avocado salad was excellent. This location's drive through is efficient and friendly
Michael Snell
20:19 07 Oct 19
Jim Boy's advertises that they are the original "American taco", and I think they may be right!Their tacos hearten back to the sixties, when every one's mom made tacos once a week and pan fried the corn tortillas. The spiciest thing on their menu is the Spicy Veggie Masala taco. Nice touch of curry heat and flavor.Another kind odd-- but very good-+ item is their hamburger taco. It comes with a hamburger party, mustard and fill pickles. Quirky but tasty!Both the Laguna and Elk Grove Avenue locations in Elk Grove. Have large, clean dining rooms. Elk Grove Ave. also has a drive through window.Helpful and friendly staff.

One of my favorite places to eat when I am in the area. I remember when a JimBoy was in my city. It didn't last long. Too bad. The best food to get when you feel like Mexican fast food. Beats Taco Bell hands down.

For "fast food" / drive thru tacos, I was impressed. I was expecting something bland like another fast food place that has tacos, but these definitely more taste than their competition.
Matthew Smith
00:25 06 Aug 19
Hands-down best Mexican fast food I've had! I had original ground beef tacos and my wife had enchiladas. The tacos were top-notch and incredibly addictive. The enchiladas were good and held their own against lower tier sit down restaurants. Clean dining room and fast friendly service to boot. I wasn't expecting much going there for the first time, but now I'm a fan!

Been craving JimBoys for a while so stopped in with my grandson & ordered us a Kids Bean Burrito meal & 3 if those famous Jimbiys ground beef Tacos that comes with parmesan cheese sprinkled all over room, that really makes them good . Grew up in Southern California, moved to Sacramento 30 years ago been going to a Jimboys ever since. Always take out of town family here to enjoy them.

I tried one of their specials, taquitos, they were good I haven't been back so I really cannot say how this place rates but their bathrooms were extremely dirty, their employees seem to be good, when I told them about the bathrooms immediately they got someone to go take care of them. And I like that. when I told the people about how bad the McDonald's bathroom was when I was visiting McDonald's in Moreno valley they didn't do anything about it they didn't call anyone and the whole place was a whole mess so I really appreciate clean restaurant, and this place seems to be clean. my feeling is that they make enough money from the public to hire someone to keep their bathrooms clean as well as the outdoors.

I love the food, especially the carnitas tacos and burritos! My wife always gets the enchiladas/taco plate with rice and beans! As good as the food is, the customer service is lacking! I will still come and get my food here as the quality of food really outweighs the bland customer service (not mean or bad - just blah!)! Try the carilnitas (really good and crispy! If you want a plain bean and cheese burrito, you won't be disappointed and they got a good taco Tuesday deal!

My husband & I love Mexican food. Jimboy's uses all fresh ingredients & everything is made fresh every day. There is a wide range of foods to choose from, both ala cart & full meals. The staff is always friendly & helpful.
