Jalapeño poppers
Steve S.

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!

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.

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

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. Will be back.

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!

Stumbled upon Jimmy's Tacos on an afternoon in Ybor City and it was the highlight of the afternoon! Food is fresh and delicious and staff were outstanding with their recommendations and attentiveness. Seven stars!

"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.

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. What I ordered: - CHIPS Y GUACAMOLE - JIMMY'S FEAST - CARNE ASADA BURRITO

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.

This place is getting popular. 2nd visit. Did the 3 street tacos. Very good. Could have more protein. Last time here we got our choice of 2 hot sauces and this time a packaged sauce that I didn't care for.

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!

Great place! Service was quick and friendly and the ambiance is cozy and makes you feel like you're out of town (not downtown Tampa). Tacos were really flavorful with amazing corn tortillas. They were so good we even came back for a second round at the end of the night! Would highly recommend!

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.

Was having trouble finding somewhere to grab dinner...nothing sounded too appealing, so I jumped on…read moreYelp and found the Loli's Tacos was highly recommended and had a lot of reviews. Ok, this is where I'll grab some food. Popped in and was quickly greeted, as I looked over the menu at the counter the girl stepped up and asked if she could help me, she gave me a few recommendations. I went with a couple different tacos, a pork tamale and a bag of chips. I have to apologize, I almost always take pictures of the food before shoveling it into my mouth, but I was hungry and this looked delicious. I pictures. The reviews weee unquestionably correct and this place is incredible. My favorite (which was difficult to pick just one) was the Campechano taco...the flavor was out of this world. I had a steak taco and the pork tamale...absolutely incredible. I hate to rave about something without some sort of criticism...nothing can be perfect right? Well, the food was spot on, don't change a thing. My only small poke would have been that the bottled Coke was cold, but not ice cold...and if that's the most negative thing you can say, well then...this place is a 10 out of 10. I highly recommend...I just wish I lived in the area to enjoy it more often! Tampa, you're lucky to have a place this great!

Not your typical taco place. The menu is so well thought out. They have some standard dishes you'd…read moreexpect but it's prepared so much better with fresh ingredients and modifications that really elevate the dish. For example, nachos with chicken where it's grilled tender and flavorful, and not pulled or dry like others. The meats in the tacos are always full of flavor and the right consistency. My very favorite taco is surprisingly the sweet potato one though. It's an explosion of flavor and medley of textures. Service is always wonderful and the bartenders friendly. I love how casual and clean the restaurant is too.

Service was a 1/10 but the food was good. I came for my birthday and was even wearing a button but…read morethe server did not acknowledge me or my family when mentioning we were celebrating. The server was not attentive, we ordered drinks and never got asked if we wanted more after finishing our first which we wanted to try more options or came back to check on us. We also never got a refill on water and the food was NEVER removed from our table even with dessert ordered for the bday. We just had a dirty table throughout which is a first for a bib (Michelin Guide) restaurant that I have been to. Dessert was just dropped off and walked away after ordering it 1 minute before. Very dissatisfied with the meal and experience especially because my grandmother came to treat me and this was not worth her money, was really looking forward to celebrating my birthday.
