Jimmy’s Tacos

I’m no expert on authentic Mexican food but the tacos I’ve had here have been great. Service was very personable and fast. A hole in the wall sort of place with character. I’ll be going back.

Bought a deal on Unilocal as I am not from around here. Headed to storefront to find the place is closed indefinitely.

Went by there last night and the place is closed due to illness
The sign says there’s a contract on the place so it seems Jimmy’s is changing hands.
I hope the new owner keeps the same quality. :(

I wish I could give 0 stars. First off they are way over priced for the quality of food you receive. I should of walked out after just seeing the prices. One taco $ 4, those tacos are between $ 1.25−2.00 a lot of places I have visited. Now on to taste the food was very dry and had no flavor what so ever. Just plan awful and overpriced

The Good. Decent food. Atmosphere is very eclectic waitress was friendly the 2 times she stopped my my table. Once to take my order and once to give me that bill.
The Bad. Place was dirty and the services is slow. My waitress never checked back with me my entire meal. Not even to refill my drink. It was not vary busy and there were at least two of them so not excuse.
The Ugly. The prices are steep for a hole-​in-​the-​wall taco joint and you don’t even get free chips and salsa. You can see from my receipt 3 tacos and a drink, Nothing else, NO chips, NO rice and beans just 3 small beef tacos and a drink regular price $ 17.22. Granted they were their «Premium» tacos (added guacamole and sour cream) and the special was by 2 get one free but even at that it was $ 12.72.

Delicous, fresh food at an unbeatable price. The portion is huge and they do not skimp. Honestly, I worry how they stay in business charging this cheap for great food! But I am grateful nonetheless. We have been there twice within the first month after the move. Will be back again!

Excellent food! So much variety in the way everything is prepared! Will definitely be back to try more things! I had the portobello taco supreme and hubby had a regular taco with beef and a mahi mahi taco. They were both great! Dying to try the chips and salsa next time

This review is a combination of the 2 times I’ve been there. First time was at lunch and I had two of the fish tacos, which were ridiculously good. Came back tonight, ordered one grouper and one pork mole. They were bland and the toppings were extremely lacking compared to the first time. Two different, times of day, servers, and cooks. Based off tonight, I’d never come back but since the first time was so good, I’ll give it a third try. I’d recommend going during lunch, seems like a better cook. For the record, neither time were they busy, so no excuses. It’s about consistency. If I were basing this off tonight, only 1 star. Hopefully, just an off night.

Very good tacos at this place, but lunch service was one guy (eventually another server as well, but mostly just this one dude) who took forever to hit all the tables scattered around.
Also the prices listed on our menu were wrong — everything was a bit more expensive. This was explained with the «prices subject to change» line printed at the bottom of the menu, although with an unlaminated single page paper menu, one would think they could be updated more frequently to reflect changing prices.
So, good food, not so good everything else. See ya Jimmy.

Sad to see that Jimmy’s Tacos has fallen short since I was a regular 2 – 3 years ago. Stopped by on an uneventful Thursday night in PG. Staff was friendly. Ordered one beef taco, one chicken tinga taco, and an order of guacamole. All disappointed including the beloved habanero sauce I previously raved about. They must have changed the recipe of the sauce, the beef taco was rather unimpressive but much better than the chicken tinga, which reminded me of boiled pulled chicken. The guacamole, though very reasonably priced for the amount I was given, was bland even lacking the salt or lemon juice required to bring out the flavor. I’m not sure what happened to you guys. Maybe it was an off night, or I ordered the wrong items, but I have to go from 5 to 3 stars for the time being.

I don’t throw around 5 stars often but this surprised me in a great way. I ordered the blackened grouper soft corn taco with the works. A Fresh corn tortilla is everything in Texas (where I’m from) and it was on point at Jimmy’s. The guacamole, cilantro, and all veggies were super fresh. The steak quesadila was even better. Flavorful, juicy, prime steak in a perfectly toasted flour tortilla. Not too mention the service was impeccable. Everyone of them was out going, not awkward, and a lot of fun. Nice chill open air bar outside too. Wasn’t able to drink but Lord knows I wanted to. The draft beer selection was everything you want in a Mexican restaurant.

DON“T EAT HERE! The quality has gone down hill in the last month, ever since most of the staff left. This morning, we were treated to (4) cockroaches crawling across the bar in front of us while we were waiting for our Taco Tuesday Special. When my Wife, a trained Exterminator, took the condiment container to show the Manager, a 1−½″ long mommy cockroach crawled out with an egg sack full of young’uns! She freaked everyone out! When my Wife volunteered to help solve the problem, the staff said they’ve had problems for quite some time, and the Day Manager and Owner never returned her call to help. We almost heaved it was so bad.

One of my favorite places to eat. Go at least once a week. Chorizo quesadilla. Yum.
This place is great for lunch and they always have specials. I have taken a few out of town friends too. Very good.

Found on Unilocal after renewing my concealed weapons carry permit. Guns & tacos yeah!
Great hidden local spot. Had 2 blackened fish tacos on soft corn tortillas, 1 mahi, 1 grouper, they came stuffed and were loaded with flavor! Also very healthy option! Each taco was only $ 4 ea… Great value & service was friendly. Nothing fancy inside but not important when looking for awesome fresh fish tacos! Food first!..

Very fresh and tasty. I have been to Jimmy’s twice and find it hard to find anything wrong with the food or service.
Nice local eatery.

Taco Tuesdays… YES! Corona light on tap! YeS!
Tacos any type… any way, flour or corn soft or crunchy, had blacken grouper, cheeseburger taco, steak, mahi, mahi… Tacos are stuffed! White quest and guac were great size for 4 – 6 peeps… love this Place! Definitely going back!

What. A. Disappointment.
I’ve heard a few people talk about liking this place so I thought I’d check it out for myself. Big mistake. Since it’s a hole in the wall joint, and I love those, I was hoping it would be some decent food. Not even close.
I ordered the pork mole taco. It was shredded pork with some garlic. Big whup. That’s not mole. No napkins or napkin holder on my table so I got up and grabbed some from another table. Two of the three bottles of hot sauce were completely empty — indicative that you need to dump a bunch of sauce on the taco to give it flavor. I generously used the one bottle of sauce that had anything in it. The wedge of lime would not give up even a single drop of juice to add some zip to the taco. For $ 4.25 for taco, I expect a bit more.
The only thing good about my meal? My Corona was cold.
When my server asked me how my food was, I told her it was quite disappointing and overpriced for what I got. She never apologized, or offered any positive words, but made some comment under her breath as she walked away. I told her that she asked about my food and I answered her.
I ate my taco, paid my bill, left an almost 20% tip, and got out of there, never to return. Now I need to go get something to eat.
Maybe my expectations were a bit high, having eaten some really great tacos from food trucks and hole in the wall places all over the country.
Live and learn.

I come to Jimmy’s Tacos at least once a week! The staff is extremely nice, and the food hot and delicious!
Tacos at Jimmy’s are always great! I CRAVE the mahi mahi tacos all week, I’m addicted, and the guacamole is to die for! They have daily specials, including regular dinner and lunch specials!
Brought my Aunt for lunch, a well traveled foodie from Cleveland, and she raved about the food!
I Love Jimmy’s!

I rarely, if ever, craved tacos before coming here. I visit Punta Gorda, FL pretty often. Whenever I go I make it a point to eat here at least twice.
The prices are unbelievably low and the food is exceptionally good. The ingredients used are so fresh you can taste it.
Everything I’ve had here has been amazing. The ground beef tacos, the chicken mole burrito, the taco salad with grilled chicken, the taco salad with ground beef, the salsas, the chips, all delicious.
The service is impeccable, Sarah is too sweet and the other young woman I was waited on by last night is a total sugar pie. I’ve been asked by every employee I’ve seen there how the food and service were. All of the staff make you feel welcomed.
I can’t say enough good things about this taco shack.
It’s a cozy, hole in the wall that has an amazing product to offer.
The only thing that could be improved are the beans. The pinto, refried, and black beans need to cook a bit longer and need major flavor as they are lacking any.
Other than that, bravo!

Ok my friend has been saying how great this place is for about a year. I tried the white chicken portobello, al pastor, and the steak soft corn tacos.
I was warned the portions are larger than your average taco. Well this was true. I almost got 4 and barely could finish the three I ordered. So filling!!! The flavor was great and the meats are perfectly cooked. I would recommend the regular and the salsa on the side. My opinion the salsa took away from all the other quality flavors. Also ordered chips and queso. The queso was on par with most places. The chips were more Tex Mex style. I just prefer a different style chip, but that’s just me.
Overall very happy with it all! Service was great and it just gave you that great dive feel. If you are within 20 min of the place, I would say make the trip. I’ll be back next time I’m in Florida.
