Great food and quick. The fajitas are always great and the vegetables are the best! Elvis was an amazing server!

Met some friends for Happy Hour. Started at the bar and moved to a table. They easily transferred my order to the server rather than making me close out. Enjoyed the margaritas and excellent customer service from Katie. She expertly managed multiple tables, including an 8 top with ease and a smile. The restaurant was pretty busy since it was graduation week. I ordered the ground beef soft tacos with a side of black beans. My friends had the Marisco Bowl and a platter. Management was helping out and delivered our food. All the food items were hot and plentiful. Restrooms were clean and well stocked. Multiple members of management stopped by to check and see how we were doing and to chat briefly to make sure we were having a good experience. read more

Great service. A little too fast today, actually. We visited this location fairly frequently. Every third visit or so the food is simply not good. Our fajita meat today was old, and smelled off. We requested medium but it came beyond gray, and zero char- it was sweaty. This showed up within four minutes. The rice was dried out. The beans were, too. As I said- two thirds of the time is great. Sometimes bad visits happen. Then comes the annoying dance: I do *not* want a manager. I sure didn't need an argument (!) from the server about cooking theory. Not looking for free food. We were very hungry and now have to go find another restaurant. We paid and we left. All done. No desire to keep playing roulette with which experience we can expect, and the server pushback was the kicker. You'll be fine without us. read more

Jimmy Changas - It was gray and boiled. Tasted like it had gone over. - Mexican Near Me - Katy, Texas

It was really good and amazing service totally recommend coming and trying the taco salad and the enchiladas

We eat here often. I don't usually review chains but i must promote my GO TO DISH. Please try the Marisco Bowl. I know this isn't common Tex mex dish, but seriously. It's all my boy and i order, ALWAYS. If their food is good outside of this, i wouldn't know. That's how good it is. And their salsa is AMAZING sautéed gulf shrimp and crawfish, refritos (refried beans), Spanish rice, and a white wine sauce. Chefs kiss Plus there is a play area for the baby :-) read more

Was a good meal to say the least. Nice flavors but just not the authentic Mex food I was looking for. Chips, Good Salsa with Creamy AvoSauce too. Taquitos needed to be fried and not baked. Gorilla Peppers were good but pulled pork needed some smoked flavor. MexiRolls were the best part along with the chicken nachos. Disappointed in the RibEye Street Tacos since they didn't have flavor. Add some seasoning or some salt at least It was all right. 3.5 but we can't do halves on here read more

After party dinner with the family, we chose this location because it had a play area for the kids to enjoy themselves while we caught up on life. We dined on appetizers and drinks. We ordered kids meals for the hyper little ones, I ordered a fajita combo salad it was delicious and was too much to finish so guess who got lunch for tomorrow (this guy). The other food was tasty it's not our usual spot but it was a good go to. read more

We love the food here!! The green sauce is so yummy I could drink it!! Their queso blanco is delicious as well!! The service is incredible and I love their salsa decorations around the restaurant. I like the Big Daddy Changa.. I definitely have leftovers lol read more

As always ...the service is so great and the food delicious. Don't tell their siblings Gringo's -- but I prefer Jimmy Changa's. This time my service Paloma was spot-on with her friendly, efficient demeanor. The Skinny Margarita was refreshing, and I enjoyed my fresh Tostada. read more

Don't get me wrong. The food is just fine here. Nothing amazing. Nothing horrible but with so many Mexican food restaurants in the area there is no way I would wait for a table here. Had the fried avocado with chicken. Was ok. The avocado wasn't really ready so it lacked some flavor. The sides were standard. Again. It's not bad. read more

Disappointing Experience - Not the Restaurant It Used to Be We used to love Jimmy Changa's, but after our most recent visit, we won't be back anytime soon. We had a party of seven and were given two separate tables that weren't even close to each other. When we asked to have them combined, we were told they were "near each other," which they weren't, and that they couldn't be moved. Service was frustratingly slow. We had to ask multiple times for our food, and even then, it didn't all come out together. I had already finished my meal before my son's food even arrived--only after I went to the manager to ask about it. My daughter's food was cold, and simple things like chip refills weren't happening. The staff overall didn't seem happy to be there, and at one point, I even saw a waitress roll her eyes. To top it off, dinner took much longer than it should have, and when we were ready to leave, our waiter was nowhere to be found. We had to wait far too long just to get the check. This place is not what it used to be, and unfortunately, it seems to be going downhill fast. read more

KATY, TX 77450 / TEX-MEX / 03-01-24 / LUNCH +Very similar to Gringo's, as they are owned by the same company. +The green salsa is very creamy and rich. +Fresh chips and salsa. +The fresh (never frozen) fish tacos were pretty good. -The red salsa could use some improvement, maybe add a little bit more of a spicy kick to it? -Loyalty rewards program requires upfront gift card purchase that can only be redeemed on a future visit. -Left the restaurant and was thirsty for several hours. Either, there's some MSG or too much salt in the food. What I ordered: Fish Tacos $14.79 Total: $18.50 post-tax with tip read more

Came for nice meal and just left due to poor management and because the food was simply dreadful I ordered some fajita and it came out slimy and smelled horrible I honestly couldn't stand the smell and once I spoke with the server they just brought a manager who simply said to just pay our tab and they'd bring us another plate of the same kind it was incredibly disappointing and I wouldn't recommend anyone coming back since it's not how it used to be it's simply just gone down in quality overall read more

Served me expired meat twice in a row it tasted like old meat and honestly just got tired of the service aswell no refund or anything

Last night we celebrated a 70 year birthday and enjoyed the room we were sat in. The restaurant was busy for a Thursday night but there was no wait to get into the room for setup. The server was great. We all gathered in the back room mingling and he took everyone's drink orders and delivered them to the table once we were seated. Which is kinda crazy to remember 24 drink orders. My fiancé had the pastor fajitas and the portion was big enough to feed two people. Yay leftovers! read more

The rare 5 star makes an appearance. Ive been coming here on and off for years. It's not convenient for me but man will I continue to drive out of my way to eat here. It's a chain. Let's get that out of the way. But it feels like a little local place. Friendly people. Nice patio. Big parking lot. But most importantly great food. Had the ribeye tacos and they were the perfect portion size. Maybe a little bit since I'm a glutton and ate my weight chips and their green sauce. Their red sauce is cold, which is my favorite. Tons of flavor. The tacos had amazing rice and beans. The true metric for a good Mexican restaurant. Was in bit of a rush and they accommodated me and got me on my way. Delicious food. Good service. Damn you, I'll be back. read more

Jimmy Changas - Ribeye tacos - Mexican Near Me - Katy, Texas

This was my first time visiting this place. I thought this was one of those places where food was tasteless and cheap. I was wrong. Their food is fresh and delicious. Our waitress was superb! And the ambiance is another level. Their concept is a Mexican (Tex-Mex) restaurant, but they paid attention to the details and did a great job of not appropriating or insulting the Mexican culture. I ordered the Pollo Marisco ($17.99), and it was delicious. I must say this: I regret ordering this plate because it had a LOT!! Grease and cheese. That makes it delicious, but I left thinking about the calories, etc. Again, it is delicious. Great dish presentation and handmade tortillas! I definitely would return to JC and recommend it to friends. read more

I'm a Gringos type of girl but when I found out this was their sister location, had to try it. They have my Gringo's favorite, Marisco Bowl which I got and added fajita chicken. It was great. One of my diners got the Marisco bowl without the cheese and said it was so good. The southwest egg rolls were good and between the queso and the cilantro sauce, cilantro sauce me please for the egg rolls. The house margarita didn't seem like it was hitting but...yeah. You will feel it. We sat outdoors and with a few kids in the party, the outdoor kids gym was great for them. Houston is real hot and at 6pm tonight it was still 100. There just so happened to have a breeze pass through often to cool us down that made it less sweaty. All in all I'll be back read more

I was highly impressed with our first visit here. We came out to celebrate my birthday. The adult beverages were tasty and strong. The server was very attentive and checked in every now and then to ensure we were doing alright. (Photos attached from first visit) Our second visit how ever was not as pleasant. Our server was taken aback by our questions of the menu asking if it was our first time there. Then proceeded to not return to the table until we needed the check. Our food was brought out by different staff members of the kitchen. It was a very odd experience to say the least. Over all the food has been tasty both visits and we enjoy the free ice cream before we head out! read more

The restaurant serves high-quality Mexican cuisine. The atmosphere is cozy, with beautiful decorations and plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors. There's even a small play area for kids. The food is served quickly, and the staff is enthusiastic and attentive. Plus, you get free ice cream after your meal! I ordered the kids' crispy taco, Pollo Marisco, and Ribeye Street Taco. The portions were just right, and the food was quite delicious. read more

This is a great place for family friendly environment, delicious food, and taco Tuesday with your friends!!! The staff were very engaging, upbeat. & friendly. The ambiance was welcoming and comfortable. Now the eats!!! We tried salads and appetizers. I ordered the chicken fajita salad and it was scrumptious!!! The assortment of veggies/toppings were fresh and full of flavor. The taquitos were just ok.....I feel like they should have been seasoned a little more; so on a scale of 1-10 I would give them a 6.5. The second entree was the Machete Salad which tasted so good with the cilantro vinaigrette dressing. If you in Katy looking for fun vibes and great eats check them out!! Enjoy read more

Traveling in Texas thought we would try them for some TXMex. Plenty of parking in their lot next to the restaurant. Very friendly staff. Wife had a beef taco salad their ground beef is made with potatoes and their beef plus spices. I had a ground beef burrito which uses the same ground beef. I'm not a fan of the seasoning - very good but not my favorite. So it's a 4. You'll have to try their ground beef and report in. Plenty of food. read more

We had an amazing experience at Jimmy Changas. Elvis was our server and he went above and beyond to make our first time experience excellent.

Firstly, I do not give 5 star reviews very often-I reserve 5 stars for truly deserving restaurants. I've been to this restaurant 4-5 times when I'm in town on business. Every single time, great food, lots of food, moderate prices and 5 star service. Whomever is managing this business has a real talent in hiring some great staff. Please keep up the great work, your guests really do notice!! read more

Food was delicious! We had the enchiladas, taco salad, and Diablo shrimp. Service excellent! Atmosphere good. Pricing good.

This place is a huge maybe... I wouldn't consider this a fantastic place, things seems to be pretty cheap.. we got cold and stale chips.. by the time we got warm ones, the queso was cold for 7.99 for a small.. I was tired of complaining so I just ate. The shrimp tacos were undercooked but I did enjoy how the wrapped them in foil!! I ordered the shrimp fajitas so avoid the undercooked cheap shrimp but they didn't offer the guacamole and the pico as the menu said along with the other beef and chicken fajitas which was wierd.. so I opted out for the tacos. Decent, the monkey frozen drink was great but I couldn't taste ANY alcohol for $10+ Won't be back unless I was offered a huge discount or a free meal to try something else! The waiter Jeremiah was great and very calm which was the positive !! read more

I love this place. Everything is pretty good. I usually get the fajitas or the fajita bowl which always hits the spot. I love their green sauce and chips so much, I can literally just eat that. The drinks are okay. read more

This was our first time for my whole family to try Jimmy Changas out. Our wait time for a a Saturday was 30 to 40 minutes but it was so worth the wait. With 7 people in our party we were seat in the back of the restaurant with our waitress Sophia. She was a really great waitress and started by helping us take a family picture with my phone. She next got our drink orders and got a appetizer of cheese dip for our chips and more of the green sauce that we all loved. Sophia explained the new item on the menu and 4 of us got the special. Everyone really enjoyed the choices for food. Sophia gave us great service, we never wanted for anything, drinks were always full and her quick wit was a real joy. So when we come back, and yes we will be back! We will all be asking for Sophia! read more

Such an amazing place for Tex-Mex. If I'm not around a Gringos, then Jimmy Changas would be the place I go to, my goto order here would be their queso regular size w orders of flour tortillas to dip it with. I get their fajita beef plate (medium rare) w shredded cheese. Their beef is so juicy and flavorful. Can't really say anything negative about Jimmy changas when I was here. Will definitely come back read more
