Very nice hidden Mexican place in Monrovia. I had never even heard of it - went on a Sunday and the service is good, the portions are generous, and all the food is on point and enjoyable. Especially LOVED the guacamole - and o don't normally care about that. Menu is interesting as well so I'll go back and try a broader variety of things soon!

Food was amazing! BIG portions. Way better than pescador if you ask me. Order a molcajete for ONE and by the time the three of us finished, it looked like we didn't even make a dent! Service was amazing. Even though it was busy our server was VERY attentive. Definitely going back! Ohhh and the chili verde wet burrito was amazing. Meat was so soft, it fell apart!

I have had the sincere happiness to visit Casa Jimenez in Monrovia several times. CJ has become my favorite Mexican restaurant and has displaced the terrific Guelaguetza in LA as my favorite. CJ has a very broad menu. I have thoroughly enjoyed everything that I have tried there. My favorites so far are the (soon to be) world famous Jimenez Special (#23) that features carne asada (charbroiled beef) with grilled onions, beans, grilled pepper, guacamole, and rice with tortillas. Juicy, nicely seasoned, and delicious! Their Burrito De Carne Deshebrada (#56) is a delicious shredded beef burrito. There are numerous seafood, chicken and pork dishes too which I look forward to trying soon. CJ provides free chips and 2 different salsas. One salsa is mildly spicy and the other is spicy. Both salsas are fresh and delicious to enhance the main dish as well as with the chips. Their coffee is very good and always brewed freshly. Ivan is the very friendly, courteous and attentive gentleman waiter who always provides excellent service. I wholeheartedly endorse Casa Jimenez with this review and my patronage as a customer.

Amazing and Friendly Service. The ambiance is your typical Mexican accent and style. Clean restaurant and restroom. The chips and salsas were Delicious I ordered a pozole to baby a hangover It was delicious and full of flavor. I also ordered a Mexican coke. TOTALLY HIT THE SPOT! My husband ordered chilaquiles verdes with carnitas. He did like his food too much but o did not try it. He said the verde sauce wasn't good and very bland. The carnitas were not great but they were ok. The bill was about $46 which is a little steep for me. But the service was stellar. We will definitely be back to try some tacos dorados or a Molcajete to share.

We've been going here for the past six years. Plenty of food good pricing it's kind of like eating at home, it's simple yet very comfortable. Very friendly staff even when I don't go for a month or two they still remember me and what I eat. Lengua ranchera without hot sauce very very mild. I don't like to eat with my mouth burning. But for those that do they can and will make it to taste. The soup is yummy too Go and enjoy

Great place and wonderful service, kinda busy on a Thursday morning but our server was great and very prompt. I got the menudo with a side of rice and beans. The menudo was good, but I had to add some salt after that it was perfect. The tripe was really tender, and the rice and beans were good as well.

I've been coming to this place for over ten years, happy to see it's still kickin. They come with unlimited refills on chips so load up on that! We got the molcajete and two tamales to share for two people. Molcajete - I would totally recommend this. A lot of other customers get the same thing and it gets served in a cool stone pot. It pretty much has everything you would really want including cactus, chorizo, beef, chicken, cheese, salsa, rice, beans and tortilla. It's literally the whole Shabang! All the meat was tender and easy to cut. There is a single version and a sharable version but the single version is easily sharable for multiple people. (10/10) Tamales ala carte - wow this one is real value. It comes with the add on sections for like 2.60 each and comes drenched with sauce. Gotta love tamales! (9/10) They've always had great service here and are super welcoming. Worth a checkout if you're in the mood for Mexican food! Large portions!!

Probably our favorite little Mexican joint around. If you come for lunch I think you can get a pretty good deal all of the dinner prices can be a touch on the steep side. The chips and salsa are excellent and they keep on coming with hot fresh chips. I think that their Michelada's are very good as well because the mix they use is good as well as the salt and spice on the rim. They have big frothy cold mugs for those as well. My friend has tried a couple of other drinks to no avail but that's her own fault. You don't really go to a small Mexican joint to get fancy drinks I took a star off because their guacamole is just okay not great and I do feel like on my heat as there could be a little bit more meat My kids usually get quesadillas or shrimp and both of been fine tasting. Knock knock your socks off but nothing wrong with them either During Covid They set up a big tent outside in the parking lot and I really like to sit out there even if the view isn't great the weather is usually very nice. If you sit inside there's just a couple of booths. Service is fast and they also do carry out
