Jimboy's Tacos — Restaurant in Fairfield

I went to another Jimboy's Tacos awhile back. The food was so delicious. Unfortunately they don't have and locations where I live, or anywhere near. I looked forward to coming to Norcal, so that I could enjoy it again.

Today was the day. I went to the location, and placed and order, and paid,

I asked the person who later emailed me and advised me he is the owner after a complaint to corporate "Do I need a code for the restroom?"

Owner Mario, said "The restroom is temporarily closed."

I asked "that's not cool, Do you know if there is another restroom close by?" (I wanted to wash my hands before I eat.)

Owner Mario, said (in a rude mocking manner) "No."

I said "Ok," and l literally waved it off, and turned around to walk out the door to look for a restroom."

Owner Mario, said "Do you have a problem?"

I turned back around, and said "Excuse me?"

Owner Mario, said "What are you going to do about it?"

I said "Nothing, I was going to look for a restroom."

Owner Mario, accuses me of flipping him off, and I explained that I didn't then, he mimicked my hand motion, acknowledging he knew I didn't flip him off. The cook guy comes out from the back and starts in on it. (check the camera, I didn't flip anyone off.)

I explained to the cook that Owner Mario, was being rude, and at this time the cashier hands me a $10 and told be to leave and never come back. I take the $10 bill and turn to walk to the door, and the cook guy comes after me.

The cook guy is still asking "what is the problem," "what do you want"

I explain "I wanted the restroom, but this Owner Mario, was being rude about it."

The cook guy says "The restroom is out of order," "why are you still here, why aren't you leaving"

I explained that I was answering him, because he was speaking to me...then I walked out, a little confused, and very disappointed.

This was a very disappointing experience. This was a very disappointing experience. Yeah, I said that twice, that is how bad it was.

I still want some of those Tacos, and hope to find another location while on my work day today.

Is the restroom out of order, or is it temporarily closed? Which is it? Either way it is a health...

It’s been years since I have had a Jimboy’s Taco. I decided to order some for lunch. The tacos are every bit as good as I remember. They are fried, so the shells are nice and crispy, the cheese inside is melted, fresh crunchy lettuce, nicely seasoned beef and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese for a hint of saltiness. Since they are fried, they are a little oily. If you like Jack in the Box tacos, the Jimboy Tacos are a whole another level of goodness! The prices of their tacos have gone up quite a bit from when I last had them, but they are good size and doesn’t take many to fill you up (I ate 4 and was really stuffed the rest of the day). I got an 9 pack togo for $28 plus tax. Inside they have a fair amount of seating. They have a TV playing the NCAA basketball tournament. They have a self serve salsa station. Service is just fair, but the guy taking orders is nice enough. If you are a fan of fried tacos, you need...

I love these guys, but they have their quirks. They are definitely what I affectionately call "white-boy tacos". Be warned, they roll their taco shells in PARMESAN cheese, and it is definitely not for everyone! I love the flavor; my wife prefers a burrito.

The restaurant is counter-style service, but it's comfortable to stay and eat. Remember that Nickelodeon show "Legends of the Hidden Temple"? That's basically the decor. They have multiple styles of self serve salsa, and it's all good.

Tacos go for $2 for straight beans, $2.39 for beef, and up from there. They also offer burritos and other quasi-Mexican offerings. I weigh in at 200 lbs, and 3 tacos fills me up pretty well.

The beef is delicious but extremely greasy. If you're open to such things, I suggest an upgrade to the carnitas for around 40 cents per taco. The seasoning is on point and it's far less drippy (of great concern to us bearded folk when...
