Jimenez is like Bruce Wayne by day and Batman by night. On the weekdays, Jimenez is home to the best tacos you can get in Lubbock. So many times in college, I would stop by Jimenez mid-day for my fix of their Three Amigos plate: Asado de Puerco, Carne Guisada, & Picadillo. Served with a fair helping of chips and salsa, it was a perfect lunch. Their tacos made them one of the best spots in Lubbock. Their placement in the Top 50 Taco Joints in Texas by Texas Monthly is well deserved. On Saturday, the game changes as they serve a Texas Monthly recognized barbecue. Their brisket is delectable, their sausage has a perfect kick, and all their sides are delightful. One of their delights is the La Tia. A barbecue sandwich except it's served on a house-made concha. Holy smokes. It's sugary and if served with brisket, is a glorious creation. I was driving through Lubbock and had to make a stop when I found out they were serving barbecue on a Friday. I got their Brisket Specialty Taco: two corn tacos with beans, shredded cheese, fried egg, and, of course, brisket. In addition, because my greed has no bounds, I got their Philthy Taco: 2 corn tacos, fried egg, potatoes, salsa ranchero, queso, and their smoked barbacoa. I called ahead and ordered before they closed at 2 pm and picked them up right at 1:57 pm (praise the lord). I mowed down both of them. For two tacos, they are most filling. I would've been full off of one. I am still wowed by what they can whip up. It's to-go only as Jimenez runs a small little shop on 34th Street, but they pack it with a ton of love and might. They're some of the best people in Lubbock, and Lubbock gives them all the love back. They just simply don't miss. RIYL: Mexican pastries, tacos, and barbecue read more

First time trying and was very good. I ordered a chorizo burrito . The red salsa is flavorful and I will be back for more!!

saw a lot about the brisket breakfast taco, but it's only sold on the weekend as a heads up i opted for a lemon empanada and la boracha bfast taco. the lemon empanada was soooo delicious. the crust was soft, buttery and smooth while the inside was not too tart. the taco however was a bit too messy for me. the corn tortilla was great along w the egg, but overall it was not groundbreaking. the service was amazing however!!! read more

The worst breakfast burrito I've ever had (from a restaurant). Absolutely no flavor and terrible salsa. I'm from Midland where a breakfast burrito like this would not fly! read more

This place is EPIC. Sometimes you feel as though you are just ordering from a place that GETS YOU. That's exactly how I felt at Jimenez y Friends in Lubbock. I loved all the wonderful options that they had. Getting the taco plate and substituting for the pork belly, barbacoa, and brisket was a top 5 decision of my life! Apart from the wonderful food, I had an excellent experience getting recommended the favorites of each of the staff members! It is such a cute and cozy place as well. I love supporting local businesses and when they are just THIS good, it's so easy to make the trip over to Jimenez y Friends. read more

This spot is the real deal! Great food made by great people. BBQ is everything you'd want and more. Breakfast burritos are best in town. 8.6/10. read more

Stop here for some amazing bkft tacos & stellar service! It's to-go only, but no factor. The La Borracha Taco add Bacon & the El Cochino Taco add Potato were both superb. The El Cochino had a nice little bite to it, and both were packed with flavors. The fried egg was cooked perfectly on both. I'm sure I'll find my way back here for breakfast in another day or two while I'm still in town. read more

I first tried this place a couple months back when I tried the brisket nachos.. heaven on earth. I kid you not I woke up from dreams about these nachos.

YUM! Jimenez y Friends is a hidden treasure! We ordered several different breakfast burritos so we could try most of their options. Sausage, brisket, carne guisada, potato, and barbacoa. All of them were delicious, but the carne guisada was outstanding! The burritos are huge and to make it over the top, you get to grab a free beer as you leave with your to go order. I can't say enough nice things about the food or the employees! We will definitely be back! read more

Breakfast Burritos and bakery were amazing. Service was top notch! We weren't prepared for no dining room but that's ok!

The customer service was great. Breakfast burritos were good. The Pan dulce, on the other hand, was amazing! It was very soft, melts in your mouth. It's a small establishment but it's very neat and clean. I recommend you stop on in and give it a try. read more

Flavorful tacos with tender meat. I really like keeping it simple with meat and rice or potatoes. Delicious!

Stopped in for a breakfast burrito and was not disappointed. I am from out of town and always crave authentic breakfast burritos when I come to town. This is a hidden gem! Everything from the service to the food was top notch! read more

If you are reading this review, stop. Just press the directions button & go right now. When you pull up & see the beast of the smoker you will say "I think I am in the right place". When you put the food in your mouth you will KNOW you are I. The right place. FYI - It's pickup only. read more

These are the best nachos ever. Everything else here is great as well. Awesome service and friendly people.

Heaven. Some of the tacos i have eaten outside of the Valley. And these guys do some mean work on the smoker. I had some brisket and ribs that were off the chart. If Aaron Franklin from the world famous Franklins BBQ in Austin were siiting down with a plate of these guys ribs he would be crying like a baby over how damn good they were. In fact i think these guys should change the name of the joint to Jemenez Heavenly Tortilleria and Taco because their has to be an angel somewhere to make food this good. read more

I came here based on the raving reviews and let me tell you it did not disappoint!!! The staff is extremely friendly and has great recommendations if you don't know what to pick. The smothered burrito with Carne Guisada and asada tacos were phenomenal. A perfect place to grab breakfast or lunch. I didn't even have time to snap a picture because it was that good! read more

GREAT BURRITO...BEST IN LUBBOCK. FAMILY RUN AND OWNED. Man, I couldn't believe the taste. You can order off their extensive menu or do like I did, order how you want it. I ordered the Breakfast Burrito with Everything...The kitchen sink. HUGE Burrito with real authentic home-made hot sauce. This thing was SO Huge, I ended up putting the last 1/3 of it on a saucer and eating it with a spoon. What a delicious treat. And speaking of treats, there is a good variety of Fresh Baked breads, cookies, sweets to choose from too. One of the owner/managers came out from the back to great me and ensure that I was filled in with all they had to offer. Don't let the small parking lot run you off, heck, park next door; you won't regret it. Thank YOU, Jimenez Tortilleria Y Taqueria, I'll be back . . . p.s. they're scheduled Really Soon to be doing some BBQ courtesy of a HUGE Smoker from Evie Mae...and if you've not tried Evie Mae BBQ yet...That's a whole story in itself . . . Great BBQ read more

Good food and great service also if u want Mexican bread they have it. Breakfast is the best
