Jimenez has been a go to spot for breakfast tacos a couple of years now. Today I wasn't in mood for eggs so instead I ordered carne guisada with rice and smoked barbacoa with beans. While waiting for my order I noticed the bbq menu. Back to the counter I also bought 1/2lb of pork belly. Pork belly isn't on the menu at many spots in this town. The barbacoa is smoky and rich. The guisada tender. The pork belly was delicious with a seasoned crust. All in all a fine selection and enough for leftovers.

Excellent breakfast tacos, burritos, & brisket.I can vouch for the Ranchero Taco (added bacon) and the El Chino. Additionally, the barbacoa burrito with potatoes and beans was my favorite thing I tried.I thought the El Chino would be a little more spicy, but the flavor was great.I arrived at 9:30am on a Sunday to an empty parking lot, but within seconds there were six other cars, so I ran inside to beat the rush.I definitely want to try the pastries when I return. They looked delicious.

Most authentic tacos I've found in Lubbock. Lunch recs: the Three Amigos plate is awesome, as are the Dirty Drunk and El Cochino tacos. Great tortillas. Can't wait to head back on a weekend for some barbecue...

We grabbed brunch here around 11:00 on 7/18. We were warmly welcomed as we walked through the door. There are no tables, so all orders are to-go. But there are some chairs and a TV to watch while you wait for your food. The staff was incredibly kind and answered all of our questions and helped us with ordering. We ordered the three amigos, the ranchero taco, and la borracha. Our food was handed to us about 10 minutes after we ordered, and we went to a nearby park to enjoy it picnic-style. The three amigos were delicious. The chips and salsa were addictive. The borracha was too saucy to eat like a taco, but we were provided plastic forks for that! It was scrumptious. And the ranchero was just okay. Next time we'll order either a double order of three amigos or two borrachas! Overall, we enjoyed our meal and had a good time.
