The atmosphere leans into a casual, somewhat lively vibe typical of neighborhood joints where families and longtime locals gather, often bringing along multiple generations for a hearty meal that recalls traditional flavors and shared memories.

The menu options show a solid range of classic combinations alongside seafood choices like garlic shrimp and mixed fajitas. It’s clear this is the kind of place where you can lean into nostalgia, as some dishes and atmosphere seem to echo memories of family gatherings from earlier decades.

Patrons often come for a casual lunch or dinner that fills both the appetite and the room with warmth.

Drinks like the Mix Michelada or Michelada Modelo are favored companions to the hearty meals. The service tends toward friendly and attentive, furthering the local, welcoming feel.

This is a very nice and local spot to get some tasty Mexican food. Came here for the time and was pleasantly surprised. My co-worker raved about this place. But I keep my expectations within in reason as I didn't have a true sense of my coworkers palette. I got the combination taco and enchilada plate, my sister the garlic shrimp and our friend the carnitas plate along with a michilada. The meat in the taco was tasty and juicy I really enjoyed it. The garlic shrimp was perfectly garlicky and the carnitas were abundant and nice big chunks. I'm not a michilada kind of person but this one was actually good. I would totally recommend this place. The service was very friendly and quick. The pricing is right and portions are too. I would definitely come back and introduce it to others.

Casa Jimenez was interesting little restaurant. Seating was odd the booths were taken by singles and we had to sit at a large table. We tried the white menudo but it doesn't come with hamony so I had to ask. We also ordered bollio and we got a flattened hamburger bun. Bottom line the food was good. The service was great and I would give it a try.

long time ago a friend bring to me a breakfast from this location and taste was really good, and this time I was here with my family members to take a dinner over weekend, wasn't on peak time, but location have a very warm atmosphere, the service is very friendly, We don't expect big plates with lots of food, I took some back home, In my side I order Molcajete with side of guacamole, in my humble opinion was really taste on the majority of ingredients, but some things were not to my liking, for example the chorizo and carnitas no too bad but doesn't have the really Mexican style, maybe some other like but for me was and one of my nephew wasn't, also beans I didn't know they put mozzarella cheese on top, I am not a very good candidate for this combination, I would have liked the chicken to be leg fillet, which is juicier, instead of breast. Any way we left very full and satisfied.

Came back here after many years I used to go here 2-4 x a month. I have to say it's exactly the same. They have a great all you can eat option for 20 buck I got a chicken taco enchiladas and Chile Colorado I could've kept going too also I didn't have a margarita but the margaritas are great. My inlaws loved it my kid even loved it the tortillas are authentic loved this place before and think we'll begin coming back regularly again this place is so good TRY THEIR CHILE COLORADO AND FRESH REAL TORTILLAS
