The location is cute and in Ybor but not overrun by the Ybor City crowd. close enough to enjoy but far enough to get away from the craziness. The food came out quickly and it's fresh. And the music is a vibe. Tried the Quesabirria and it's was delicious. There was also a carne asada taco. Cannot wait to go back. The music is always on point & it's a great place to hit up on weekdays. Rainy weather can't stop us because they have a covered area. read more

Order the Jimmy's feast as well as their Carne Asada tacos. The beer tacos are delicious if you get them fresh they're so good. I don't recommend taking them out. They're not as good if they're sitting for like 15 minutes. Definitely get them fresh. The consumme is seasoned very well very good. The Carne asada is nowhere near as good as the birria. I'd recommend getting the birria. I haven't tried any of the other proteins though. Service depending on the day could take a really long time. They are pretty popular. Cashier is kind of cranky, but he gets the order correctly, I guess. I mean I'm there mostly for the food so it's fine. The place itself you can sit down and eat. It's outdoors. There's a decent mouse seating. I would recommend going at times when its not going to be crowded otherwise you'll be waiting forever. It's not too many seating. There's also chickens which makes it fun! The decor is honestly fun read more

Living in Jalisco and Nayarit I know a thing or two about birria. And this is pretty decent birria. Certainly the best I've had in Florida! I love the vibe of Jimmy's! It's all open-air, so you're IN Tampa. Immersed. I had a taco (Al Pastor), a quesabirria taco, and jalapeño poppers. Clearly, the quesabirria taco is the star of the show. Soft, savory, and served with a cup of jugo / consomme / broth for dipping. Really tasty! The taco al pastor was fine. Served on a soft corn tortilla, not fried, with just the right amount of filling in the traditional way: Meat, onion, cilantro (and a dab of guac because we're Americans, dammit! :-) ) I don't think the tortillas are made on-site, but as a Mexican that's something I'm spoiled by. No stars deducted for this faux pas. The poppers were... disappointing. I think they come off the PFG or Sysco truck, frozen. Dropped in the deep fryer and served up with a side of sour cream. I don't know what I expected, exactly, but after the made-to-order tacos this was a little bit of a letdown. But... bottom line: I'll be back when in Tampa. There's a lot of debate about who serves up the best tacos in Tampa Bay. My vote is Jimmy's. Oh, and for you folks over on the peninsula: They're opening a location in St. Pete the first of November! Woot! read more

I had an off-line offer and decided to stop in. The food was very fresh. The chicken was cooked fresh to order and the taco shell was amazing. It took about 15 minutes to receive my order, but it was worth the wait. Customer service was very attentive, nice and patient. The only downside is it's outside only so if you go in the middle of the day, prepare for that and the chickens were very bothersome while eating apparently they are use to being fed here. Another downside is ground. Beef is not available but prices weee nicely valued and lunch special is great! Other than that, I would recommend coming for a fresh taco salad bowl. read more

It did feel a little wrong eating my pollo taco next to the roosters. But what a great find! Thanks, Yelpers, for leading me here. I think what hooked me in was one of the reviews making a comment about the neighborhood. Honestly, the neighborhood was absolutely fine. As a solo woman diner, I would have no problem coming back here time and time again. I asked if the gentleman working preferred the queso or the salsa, and he said the queso, so I started off with the queso and chips. Definitely more chips than queso.... But that's OK, because I probably didn't need to finish all the chips I had one Carne Asada and one Pollo taco. The guac on both was very flavorful! I'm usually not a guac person, but this hit the mark perfectly. An absolutely great spot that I'm so happy to have visited! Would totally come back! 2025: 38/100 read more

Walked by here after pickleball, looked interesting and busy decided to give it a try. The staff is friendly and helpful with ordering. We had the Jimmy's feast with 3 tacos and a quesadilla. It was delicious. We also ordered queso and chips , the chips were thick and crunchy the queso was good but not my favorite. It is a quant little spot in ybor and a great value.

Jimmy's Tacos is a super casual taco spot in the heart of Ybor. All seating is open-air, complete with roosters wandering around. We used street parking, but they do have a lot behind the building. Order at the counter and they bring your food out. We shared the chips and guacamole, which was fantastic, then got the carne asada and shrimp tacos. The carne asada was tender and delicious, however the shrimp tacos had a sauce on them that was heavy on the mayonnaise flavor, so we didn't like those as much. Overall, a nice, casual dinner in Ybor. Would come back for the guac and carne asada tacos for sure! read more

"Chickens, TikTok Hype, and Surprisingly Legit Tacos" Had a shockingly great lunch with the family today. The wait wasn't terrible -- which, honestly, was the first red flag that maybe TikTok had lied to us. We camped out in the shade like true taco hunters, surrounded by actual chickens who, frankly, seemed way too comfortable watching us eat their distant cousins. The tacos themselves? Totally fine. You won't ascend to another dimension or cry tears of joy, but they'll get the job done. The real MVP here is Jimmy's Feast -- two birria options (tacos and quesadilla) that are so flavorful you'll forget for a minute you're eating in a semi-feral petting zoo. Apparently, this place is TikTok Famous, because my daughter discovered it during one of her 7-hour scrolling sessions. Thank you, algorithm, for yet another place I didn't know I needed to visit. It's tucked just off East 7th, right in the middle of a fever dream mashup of cigar lounges, tattoo parlors, live music, and what I assume are at least two haunted pawn shops. Perfect if you want to walk off your tacos and pick up a full sleeve tattoo in the same afternoon. 10/10 would eat Jimmy's birria again. 0/10 would trust TikTok food recommendations without a helmet. read more

Jimmy's Tacos is a solid spot for Mexican food in Tampa. The birria tacos are a must and one of my favorites. The other tacos are decent, but the carne asada burrito was just okay. Service is quick as you order at the counter, get a number, and they bring the food out. No reservations, and seating is all outdoor, so keep that in mind. Great for a casual bite.

I loved my experience here at Jimmy's Tacos. It was a cute spot right in the heart of Ybor. It didn't take long for my order to be taken and brought out to me, and the staff were friendly. I had the birria tacos with a strawberry margarita. Needless to say, everything was empty when I left the table. The tacos were fresh and flavorful, and the strawberry margarita was made to perfection. Overall, I enjoyed myself and would highly recommend. read more

Hey, Jimmy! So glad we found you! So quaint, so charming, so yummy. My friend I visited on a Saturday afternoon and really enjoyed it. Located just south of Seventh Ave (the main drag) in historic Ybor City, on 17th Street, it's a little yellow building with an eye-catching logo/branding. There's a walk-up, take out window or you can choose to dine on the covered patio. (You walk up to order, they deliver to the table) We ate there, under the patio lights and amongst the visiting roosters (both of which add to the audience). The menu isn't large, but it includes appetizers, sides and desserts. There are lots of soft drink options and I think they've recently added beer, wine and sangria. My friend chose the birria tacos and I had the shrimp tacos, on blue tortillas. They were both tasty-and I was happy the mango salsa on the shrimp tacos wasn't too heavy on the onions. We also shared the chips and queso. (The chips were really good). Everything was super fresh and had a "from scratch" feel to it. Prices are reasonable-there's limited parking on site and a large, multi-story parking garage nearby... and you can walk to all of the other fun spots Ybor has to offer. (We followed up with a visit to a wine bar) I'll definitely go back and try more tacos, the jalapeño poppers, the desserts and the sangria. Plus, I need to keep up with my rooster friends. See you there! read more

Jimmy's Tacos might be in a bit of a sketchy spot, and it's outdoor seating only, but don't let that stop you -- this place is worth it. The staff are super friendly, service is fast, and the prices are very reasonable. The shrimp tacos are a must-try: big, juicy shrimp with mango on a purple corn tortilla -- fresh, flavorful, and just delicious. The al pastor and carne asada tacos were good, but nothing mind-blowing. The quesabirria, on the other hand, was fantastic -- cheesy, flavorful, and served with rich consomme for dipping. Bonus entertainment? Roosters and chicks casually roaming around while you eat. Dinner with a show! Definitely recommend if you're looking for tasty street-style tacos with a side of local charm. read more

Jimmy's Tacos used to be a favorite, but this visit left us underwhelmed this time. Let's start with the taces... the birria has lost its flavor magic--a little bland and forgettable. The steak tacos were the worst: chewy, full of gristle, and basically inedible. The al pastor was okay. The new sauce packets leak everywhere, and now they serve everything on wooden cutting boards--cute maybe, but not exactly hygienic (they're known to be a petri dish for bacteria growth if not cleaned properly). These weren't used before, and I wish they'd go back to plates. $32 for six tacos and two sodas? Way overpriced for what you get. Jimmy's still has an okay vibe, (parking can suck sometimes) but the food's no longer worth the hype. We actually ended up going to Taco Bell for their cantina tacos because we weren't able to finish our tacos here and were still hungry. The highlight for me was watching the chickens wandering around. Oddly charming and didn't bother me at all. read more

Food was great. Tacos and Beria was on point. Fast service. Interior design was decent.

This place isn't too shabby for a meal. If memory serves me right, it used to be a hot dog joint ages ago. Now, they've switched to serving Mexican cuisine. The restaurant is quite cozy, with limited outdoor seating that has some overhead cover and fans, but on a scorching day like today, the heat can really make you sweat and might dampen your dining experience a bit. There's street parking available, plus a dirt lot right next to the restaurant that you can use. Prices are on the higher end. Since it's outdoor seating, be prepared to fend off the chickens and roosters, as they can be a bit pushy. However, if you show them you're into chicken tacos, they might just leave you be. I went for the taco bowl, which includes black beans, onions, jalapenos, shredded cheese, tomatoes, and a choice of meat--I opted for steak or carne asada. It comes with packets of hot sauce, ranch, and sour cream (you'll need to add these to your meal). I liked my meal, though if I had to nitpick, I'd say the portion was a tad small. My wife chose the 3 taco special that came with a drink. The tacos were topped with cilantro, onion, and guacamole. She had one with pork (al pastor), one with steak (carne asada), and one with chicken (pollo). She was really impressed with the pork taco, while the other two were just okay. She mentioned that next time, she'll go for two pork (al pastor) tacos and try a "chorizo" one. Overall, this isn't a bad spot. read more

The spot is outdoors so if you're going in the summer dress appropriately, parking is right next to the restaurant which is great, and the service is you order at the front and then serve you once it's ready.

Birria tacos delicious White queso dip delicious Birria egg rolls , I've never had this before and now I'm sad because I can't for the life of me find any by me , and these were phenomenal.

This is a super hole in the wall taco place in Ybor. It's not next door to much else, but it is close to the main Ybor strip of bars and restaurants. There is plenty of parking for the space. They do not have any indoor seating, so keep that in mind when you go. I had to wait 10 minutes in my car for the rain to die down before I could get out and order my food. I got a Sprite, chicken tacos, and churros for dessert. The tacos were served the classic way with onions and cilantro. The churros were very good and fresh, served with a delicious chocolate dipping sauce. I definitely recommend this place for a quick and casual lunch if you happen to live in the Ybor area. It's very authentic, and the service was very friendly and quick. You'll have to check it out for your self! read more

Food is straight from Tostitos. Save your money. Service trash, food trash. Vibes extremely low here.

This had been on my list for a while now, and recently , I noticed the social media presence increasing, so while in the area, we decided to try it. Mainly because they had the birria tacos that neither of us have had before. So we ordered, I went off their drink menu that sits on the ground, right next to the ordering station, and got the Homemade Apple Pie Cider, along with a pollo and carne asada taco and Ben got two birria tacos with a beer. We paid and were waiting for everything to go through, and the gentleman taking our order suddenly realized they didn't have the cider and asked what else I wanted. I said, nothing if you don't have that, he said well it's not up here (they had some beers and drinks out on display) and I was like ahhhh well it's on your list that you manually had to place out here... he continued to wait for me to ask for something else. I didn't want anything else, and I am sorry you have to do a refund, but oh well. Not really my problem, but he was making it noticeable that it was inconvenient for him. So my pollo taco, the good part was that the chicken wasn't dry. Most places we go for street tacos honestly have dry chicken. But it wasn't really flavorful. Carne asada has a lot of fat on my pieces that I peeled off from the top pieces and then bite really hard to get through while eating the taco. Again, not super flavorful, but on both, I could tell everything was fresh. Ben ate his birria slowly, trying to get all the flavors and really see what the dip brought to the taco. His opinion was they were good but wasn't really getting a difference other than being juicy to what the dip brought but again wished they were more flavorful. I did try a bite, too, and it was good, but not something that I would go out of my way to go back. read more

Food is very good, old white man taking order was very rude to me and my co-workers....

Tried Jimmys tacos last weekend for the first time. Loved all the chickens running around that was super cool, they kind of took over the back seating area. I ordered the Pastor quesadilla and this menu item is HUGE! But I wish the pastor came with pineapple. It was good but I enjoy other classic taco places that are closer to home. I did like that they offer combo items to try different offerings on the menu. Service was fast but overall not blown out of this world by this place. FYI - This place offers no indoor seating just a small covered outdoor area. read more

First, I'll say that they did well with the space that was given. There is a place to park, they have only outside seating with plenty of shade and overall I like the vibe. This a fast casual spot where you order at the front, you find a place to sit and they call your number when your food is ready. I like the system but it might be best to give the customers' order numbers on a stand so there isn't someone screaming trying find who the food belongs to and they can just see the number on their table, but it's just an idea. They have a good deal on a taco combo but I decided to go with the carne asada torta. It was a bit dry and that's because when I took off the top bread I see they only added just a bit of butter and Mayo in the center of my sandwich, it wasn't spread out to get an even bit. I liked the torta but to be honest I didn't love it. I'm sure their tacos are better. read more

We come here often - for the incredible birria, but also to see the chickens lol Jimmy's is nestled right in the heart of Ybor, within walking distance of everything on 7th. It's all outside dining, which can be brutal on some of the hotter days, but when the weather is just right - it's a really nice setting. There were baby chicks at our last visit that my daughter just couldn't get enough of, they're fun to watch and it's a nice form of entertainment outside of the typical restaurant with TV's My typical go-to is anything and everything birria at Jimmy's Tacos - I've had the birria tacos, the birria quesadilla, the birria grilled cheese, and the birria pizza - all 10/10 recommend. The consumme is delicious and flavorful, my favorite in Tampa hands-down. They also have some pretty good margarita's - I always get one when we go! The service is always pretty fast and efficient, it's a walk-up food truck vibe with plenty of outdoor seating. The customer service has always been good. read more

Jimmy's Tacos has quickly become my favorite place to get tacos in the Tampa Bay Area.

I love this place ! Such a cute calm data idea. I think its a bit pricey. We got 2 shrimp tacos, 1 vegan taco, 1 veggie taco, 1 veggie quesadilla, and chips and guacamole and queso for like $60. Guacamole could have been a bit more flavorful, it tasted a bit water down. Same with the queso. But i was super hungry and still ate it all! Definitely try the blackened shrimp tocas! I would go back every Tue just for those! The vegan tacos were very nasty, but the veggie ones were good! They were super nice and friendly there and the vibe of sitting outside was so nice! It didn't even feel like we were in TPA, FL anymore! It was raining and it was honestly perfect, we didn't get wet at all! But we had a few rooster friends try to come hang with us. It does get busy here and they have happy hour ! (Their margs are pretty strong!) read more

The shrimp taco was $6 and only had 3 shrimps and sauce no other veggies or toppings which is overpriced in my opinion. My boyfriend ordered the Carne asada torta and we were not impressed.
