Checked out Jimboy’s Tacos second-newest location in picturesque Grass Valley this weekend, and let me tell you, it’s a treat. The same menu, the same addictive taco, the same distinctive taco sauce, with a few wonderful additions: free refills, which for Jimboy’s lovers is like manna from the heavens, and a delightful decor more appropriate for a sit-down taqueria than a fast-food joint. And along with your local boosterism you get some historical photos and one big lesson: as it turns out, the original Jimboy was a Grass Valley native! Though Jimboy himself is no longer manning the grease station (thanks MTSac), his name lives on. And after 50 years it’s finally come back full circle. And I am seeing an additional benefit of the Sunday taco sale–next time you’re making your way back from the North Shore enjoying some great skiing, stop off for a six pack of ground beef goodness (and the other kind of six pack too–they serve Cerveca). West off the Brunswick exit in Grass Valley.

Is Jimboy long gone? I thought he was still alive.

Ahh, how I love teh Jimboys!
Being in the employ of RT, sometimes my diet for the entire week consists of the “Taco Burger” along with the original Jimboy’s taco.
The weight gain sucks, but the food coupled with the various folks who frequent the Gazebo along 29th street make the 9lbs worth it.
Oh, How bout them Gators?
(UCLA can SUCK it)
