Jimenez y Friends Barbecue y Taqueria — Restaurant in Lubbock

As we travel, we are always looking for great family owned restaurants to eat from. Jimenez Tortilleria and Taqueria was deemed the #1 place in Lubbuck for breakfast tacos by Yelp, so we had to try it.

Quality of food - of the 5 different types of burritos that we purchased, 4 of the 5 hit the spot. The fifth type was not included in our order. They gave us the wrong burritos. The barbacoa burrito was a 10. The carne guisada taco was outstanding. However, they forgot the cheese. The Bean and Chorizo was great. Real Mexican Chorizo. Nice and spicy. The potato and egg was real good. Then came the wrong part of the order. I was given a burrito with egg and onions. Not good.

Service - Had our order been correct, a simple 10 would have been given. Overall, the service was great. Things happen.

Cost -- For today's times, prices were good. See my pictures regarding their menu.

Sweet bread or Pan Dulce -- each piece we bought was fresh, tasted great, and we would purchase more.

Overall, removing the wrong food, everything else was well worth the visit.

4.5 of 5.

Thanks for a great breakfast.. Luckily, we had purchased more food than we needed because we wanted to taste a variety of items.

Finally, they are...

Do you know that feeling that a place is going to be great when the aroma of food fills your nose as soon as you walk through the door? That's exactly what happened to us. Are you hungry, and want some freshly home cooked food, then head over to Jimenez Tortilleria y Taqueria. My partner and I went in with a craving for delicious Mexican food and were very satisfied. We ordered the Three Amigos which consisted of three tacos; one carne Guisada taco, one tasty Asado taco, and one Picadillo taco, on freshly baked corn tortillas with a side of homemade tortilla chips and tasty salsa. Additionally, we also order the delicious smothered burrito; a bean and carne Guisada wrapped in a flour tortilla burrito, smothered in queso and gravy. And to top it all off, we also ordered some freshly baked warm and delicioso pan dulce, better than any other dessert you can have after an already delicious meal. Recommended for anyone who is hungry, and craves something that isn't another chain. Soon to become a...

Jimenez is our go to place for both breakfast and lunch! I've been coming here since they first opened and we've never had a bad meal or experience. The staff is always friendly and the prices are very reasonable.

We've tried just about everything on the menu, and my top recommendations are the Asado de Puerco, Carne Guisada, Loaded Fries and my personal favorite, the El Cochino taco. If you want a little bit of everything get the 3 amigos, it's perfect for sampling their delicious meats for the week.

If you're stopping by on the weekend, make sure to get there early and whatever you do order the Smoked Barbacoa. It's hands down the best and once you try it, no other barbacoa will compare!

Highly recommend this place you won't regret it!

Also, if you see a long line, don't let that steer you away. I think the longest we have ever waited was about 15 minutes.

P.S. don't forget to grab...
