Workers are nice. The place was clean. The food was similar to some of the reviews I saw on here. Barely any cheese on the shell. That's kinda the only reason people go to jimboys. But the rest of the taco was good. I just wish they dusted both sides of the taco and use a lot of the cheese read more

American made tacos are not for me. The service was great and the place was clean but just ok food. Got two tacos and they have a lot going on, but for me, it didn't mix well. The tortillas are greasy and have cheese on the outside that didn't go with the rest of taco. Give it a shot and see what you think, but not my cup of tea.. read more

Jimboy's Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Auburn, California

BEWARE!!! I went through drive-through and this is a taco place that doesn't know how to make nachos. They forgot the grated cheese, onions, salsa and guacamole. I don't know what you would call what they made, I passed it on to the trashcan. I wouldn't offer this to a homeless person because they deserve to get delicious food! I don't know who decided liquid cheese out of a can would taste great on nachos; that was nasty. read more

We tried the Burgerita, liked the sauce and the pickles. Tortilla was nicely grilled. I always love the tacos. 4 stars because they are a bit greasy. Get lots of napkins. The Auburn location could use a bit of updating to their interior. We sat outside and it was nice. read more

Jimboy's Tacos - Burgerita and taco - Mexican Near Me - Auburn, California

Not the first Jimboy's Tacos I've been to, but one of the better ones for quantity and quality of food. Pretty fast service, we had steak and carnitas tacos... lots of meat and fillings, the cheesy outsides of the shells are unique to them, a tasty treat! Restroom and dining area could use a little sprucing up. read more

The tacos are insanely good, although probably not so great for you. Think Jack in the box tacos, but waaaay better!

We order six tacos and one bean and cheese burrito tacos without lettuce .. when the tacos arrived all the tacos had lettuce on them I called them and she said the manager won't be in till Monday. I manage a small deli in Auburn .so for her to call me back and tell me I was wrong hmm btw clean your grill you can taste the burn from it.. threw the whole order away.. if the manager wants to contact me my name is Stephanie Halloran look up the order and you'll have my phone number read more

Ordered the fried chicken tacos.The Shells were dipped in the fryer grease which tasted old and there was no parmesan cheese crust. I eat the tacos there for the parmesan cheese crust.Very dissapointed. read more

Tried this location tonight for the first time. Service at the front counter was nice, but food was a definite disappointment... worst churro I've ever had, was like cardboard. read more

Jimboys was the second stop on our Auburn taco crawl. This is a storied Northern California fast food stop that's clean, well lit, and fast. I order the Gordo beef taco and within 2 minutes I had it. Hot and easy to eat. Their specialty is the Parmesan dusted grilled flour soft taco. The meat was fine lettuce was fresh and abundant. It's a little expensive as comparable tacos go but quick and good. read more

Jimboy's Tacos - Gordo beef taco - Mexican Near Me - Auburn, California

I haven't had Jimboys in over 10 years, probably. But it's a greater Sac area staple and since we were passing by, I decided to introduce my hubby to it. We had to get their ground beef hard shell tacos, which is what they're known for, They do a 6 pack of these tacos, so we just got that. Also tried the hot honey chicken taco and the alaskian cod taco, along with a side of fries. All this for about $30 - fast food is no longer that inexpensive. Haha. Both the chicken and fish were breaded I believe. Both had a pico salsa with diced tomatoes and onions, so that made it fresh. The hot honey was not super spicy, but I think I preferred the cod one over all the other tacos. The ground beef ones were standard. Hard shells were not as crunchy as I remember. They were just slightly fried. A little greasy and a little too salty for me but mostly solid. I really liked their fries, which were like jojos or potato wedges - very fried and very potato-y. We ordered inside to-go and ate at one of the three picnic tables outside. The drive thru was super busy also with lots of customers. Bathroom was clean and decent. read more

It's an old favorite here that never disappoints when passing thru Auburn. Either heading to or returning from the Sierra on I-80. It's especially comforting to still see them around because most of the Del Tacos in the surrounding vicinity have closed shop. My most recent visit was another hit with a combo plate served piping hot, not always a given these days at various other similar spots. Sign says they're serving breakfast now...thought they always did, but maybe they suspended that during Covid, idk? Speaking of health, they have a sign in the entrance saying they passed their recent county inspection. They also have a convenient drive-thru. Never had a bad meal here or at any other location. Jimboy's, billed as the Original American Taco. read more

Yuck - it's been 25 years since I last ate Jimboy's Tacos, and I don't expect to eat it again. We got a family pack of fish tacos and beef tacos. Chips were old and stale. Fish smells bad. Beef tacos were ok. Guacamole was decent. Bean burritos not as good as my memories, but were the best items we ordered. Overall just yucky. Stick to Taco Bell if you in the mood for Fast Gringo Mexican Food. read more

Stopped by after a long car drive. The place was clean and the service was good but the tacos were lacking in flavor. Would try again but would order something other than their chicken tacos. read more

Jimboy's Tacos - Parm crusted chicken taco - Mexican Near Me - Auburn, California

I only went there because I could walk from my hotel, but Taco Bell might have been a better bet. The tostada was very bland, even though I asked for some salsa to go with it. It was about the most blah tostada I have ever had. read more

This is a very clean Jimboy's with nice staff. One of my favorite locations. Veggie options were great!

Awful ripped seating out metal chairs no salsa bar $14 for 2 steak tacos greasy watered down mess no flavor will never return

This has been my go to stop to Tahoe & I have been loving Jimboy's since the 1960's when they were in King's Beach! The chicken tacos are the best on the menu here and taste so good I have never had any of my friends who tried them not love the taste. I even make my own at home the same way with Parmesan, a little olive oil, & fry the corn tortillas topped with Cheddar a little salsa with hot chicken breast pieces served with lettuce & diced tomatoes! Excellent! read more

This has been my go-to pit stop to not only get fuel before hitting the hills but also a convenient stop off the 80 freeway to silence my rumbling tummy. The menu has expanded; however, the original Jimboy tacos are still just as good with the light dusting of Parmesan cheese coating the outside of the crispy tacos loaded with your choice of protein. It's not one of your usual fast food chains; their tacos are made after you order. Definitely gives you the pep to trek further! read more

Awful and faked Mexican food. I ordered a burrito with carnitas. It is just a greasy (??) tortilla with the meat inside. Nothing else. No rice or beans or anything. They call that the "classic". What a waste of money and time. read more

The reason I give this place a three star is their customer service. Every Jimboys tacos that I've gone to is excellent! Very cheap& delicious! I have always gotten the two ground beef tacos and then get a side of queso and then dip those together. I give this place a 3 star because the food was delicious but then the people forgot to give me my meal! I saw people with bigger orders who were AFTER me get their food and then I started getting mad. They had completely forgotten about me and I had to show them the receipt and they immediately got my order. read more

Sign and website says open 10am - 10pm. It's 8:17 pm and they are saying it's closed. When all the signs say Open. They just lost me as a customer read more

The food was decent if not overpriced, the service was prompt, but the tip screen that was presented to me at the drive-thru window after I paid with a card was off-putting and made me never want to frequent that location or chain ever again. I did not sit down in the restaurant, the tip screen came up even before I had gotten my food. There has to be a line drawn somewhere, fast food is supposed to be fast and affordable; the customer should not be guilt-tripped into tipping when no service was involved beyond taking an order over a speaker and handing the customer a bag. I will not be giving places like this my business any longer. read more

Took way too long to get 4 tacos been waiting 15 minutes this is bs. The store looks dirty not a good experience.

I grew up in South Lake Tahoe, Jimboy's Tacos, We stopped in yesterday, we were out and about in our Placer County areas and decided to swing by Jimboy's off Bell Rd. We went into y to he restrooms to wash our hands first, we both came out in horror and said; I"'m not eating here" both of us were so grossed out by the Restrooms fifth and lack of sanitizing cleanliness. How disgusting! I understand busy, bad employees or lazy? But when you serve food and your restrooms are this filthy? No way! We woke up today and both made random comments to each other about it. Dear Jimboy's, you need to step it up a notch. Sadly the drive through people can't see your disorganization as we looked into the kitchen service areas. I hope you respond and put cleanliness a priority in your business. Please don't ruin the Brand! read more

The tacos are very good. I've stopped there several times and also at several Jimboys locations and all are very good.

Ordered couple tacos, horchata and quesadilla. Tacos tasted very good. Will come back when in area.

It has good food. I get good service. The people that work here are nice. I love their bean tacos.

Normally love jimboys... this one in Auburn off Bell rd , not good at alll! Food tasted nothing like others we have been to. Husband had burrito and there was only few pieces of meat. My tacos did taste like what I know of jimboys. They didn't have freash salsa . Just over all not happy. read more

Jimboys Tacos are not "authentic" tacos as one would think... but dang they are good. They remind me of a way upgraded and better version of jack in the box tacos... but in the best way possible! The taco shell is crispy but not like a hard shell, soft enough to chew and bite. The ground beef is good - though I'm not a fan of nacho cheese and it was integrated with the meat, I would ask for no cheese next time or try the steak version. I have to say, these tacos are pretty pricey. we each got three but I think two + a churro pack is the sweet spot. During covid they are doing drive thru only. There was patio seating though in case you wanted to sit and eat your tacos outside of the car. read more

It's been 11 years since I had Jimboy's. Moved to Arizona and have missed my go-to. First time at this remodeled location. We arrived at noon on a Saturday, during a holiday weekend, and there were a dozen other customers. The cashier was pleasant and helpful. We ordered two shredded beef tacos each, plus a cheese quesadilla to share and a soft drink. While we waited, I checked out the salsa bar, which looked like it had expanded into eight sauces, roasted jalapeños, carrots, etc. Nice touch. After six grueling mins, my little bundles of joy were ready. Oh, the anticipation! Crisp corn tortilla shells lightly dusted with Parmesan cheese, filled with juicy, tender, rich shredded beef, melted jack cheese and cool, crisp lettuce. Come to Papa! Those tacos and that quesadilla didn't stand a chance, as we devoured them in just a few mins. Since I was in CA, I have to say: "I'll be back." read more

Jimboy's Tacos - Shredded beef tacos and a cheese quesadilla. Heaven! - Mexican Near Me - Auburn, California

Prior to new management, this was my go to place. The shredded beef was excellent. I could detect flavors of clove and bay leaf. The hamburgers were great, like home made. Considering this is a drive thru, the chili rellenos were very good. Now none of these items [and many others] remain on the menu. The staff is all new. Now I have to find another place for my cravings. What happened? read more

Sign says open. Lights are on. According to the website, they don't close for another 57 minutes. People are going through drive-thru. Walked over to the restaurant to eat to find the restaurant dining room closed. There are no signs on the door saying it's closed but a big open sign in the window. You know what that says to me as a paying customer? you don't want any business. 2 employees on staff. Help me understand. read more

I started eating Jim Boy's Taco's, at the Denio's Auction, in Roseville around 25 years ago, Auburn's Bowman Road, location is good as well. I ordered, two beef original Taco's today, and they were delicious. Larger than I remember. The outside, is a little run down, but i know it's been there along time. Quick and fast, the drive thru. I'll go again. Love their taco's. read more

Jimboys really used to be something back in the day. They are a shadow of their former self I don't get what happened. The food is tasteless. Why on earth would they get rid of the shredded beef? The prices are ridiculous. The people that work there are nice. read more

This location needs to be torn down. During a trip 'home' I drug my family up here expecting what I remembered. Sloppy food, rickety, dirty looking building. The place was not busy but it took way too long to make 6 tacos, and they forgot the 6th one. Tasteless, sloppy. We tossed the mess and went somewhere else. Sorry Jimboys, I won't be back to this location again. Hopefully you'll tear it down soon. Sad. read more

I just love Jimboys tacos they're so good with that Parmesan crusted tacos. And I always get the original but I do get the shredded chicken sometimes. I only enjoy it at the one in Marysville. The one in Auburn the sauce on the chicken just didn't taste right, maybe it I was expecting red sauce and it was cream sauce. But every time I go mountain biking up north I always stop at one of them depending which way I go, I highly recommend it. read more

Driving home from Nevada and we thought we would give this a try. We ordered chicken Soft tacos instead of crispy because we did not want all the fat and oil that comes along with that. These soft tacos were completely saturated with grease. The paper they came in had pools of grease inside. So much for going light. I don't get it.. won't be back, ever. read more
