Jimenez y Friends Barbecue y Taqueria

How good is this place you ask? Upon opening the to-go container it was obvious why they made the Texas top 50. I litterly started drooling. My daughter saw it. I asked. Ribs with a soft sweet taste, fall off the bone tender, brisket cooked to perfection and full of flavor in every bite, turkey…well this gobbler would be proud to be served on any plate. Make the trip, it’s worth it. What creditability do I have for a food review you ask? …Well none, just like the rest of you. So let’s stick to the facts…it’s freaking good!

Burritos are the best! Best breakfast in Lubbock! The brownies are like Texas sheet cake slices!

Not sure why this place is so highly rated. I got a carne guisada burrito which was very salty. Smothered burrito plate was so so. I also had a breakfast burrito with eggs and carne guisada. The eggs were definitely powdered eggs. I was pretty shocked. The best menu item I had was the wueso and chips. Queso was good, and the chips were as well, but very greasy.

Barbecue that is out of this world.

This place is *AMAZE*

Everything I’ve had here is delicious. I just ventured and tried the asado de puerco burrito with papas and cheese this mornings and good lord I’m so glad I did!

I’m so thankful for this *life breathing* tummy filling place! Thank Jimenez y Friends!

No photo because it’s in my happy belly.

Cool place to pick up some tacos and empanadas to go. Menu is unique, carne guisado perfectly cooked, barbacoa was spot on. This is my go to place now in Lubbock for breakfast tacos. Parking lot is small and you might have to wait in line but the good stuff is there.

Food so good you'll want to gate-keep it from your friends and family. I'd go here every week if I lived in Lubbock. You'll want to make time for this place!

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.

If you could rate the food and the people a 10 I would. Amazing . There's a reason they are always so busy and featured in magazines. Come hungry! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The smothered burrito w/ a fried egg is the best or even a drunken taco w/ a fried egg. The smoked barbacoa is mouth drooling and the menudo has the perfect hominy to meat ratio. Don’t even get me started on the pan dulce…I swear I could live off that alone!! ♥️ let’s just say I am working my way down that menu because I know for a fact it will not disappoint!!!

Amazing! Highly recommended!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Absolutely amazing tacos, but you have to get there early to get what you want
