Jonathan Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 Hit this place up on recommendation from my fish purveyor, and had the best fish tacos of my life.Apparently the owner was a line cook at Vetri, and is from Puebla. We were the only ones there at 1pm on a Monday, except his Pat La Frieda driver who was delivering and also eating (smart man).It's on 6th and Oregon.
DonRocks Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 2015/03/11 - "Los Jimenez: A Vetri Cook Returns to his Mexican Roots" by Michael Klein on philly.com It doesn't have a website yet, but I listed its entry on restaurant.com in the Dining Guide which has discount coupons online. In general, if you Google Los Jimenez, the Philadelphia critics are all going ga-ga over it.
Jonathan Posted July 10, 2015 Author Posted July 10, 2015 It is a hole-in-the-wall taqueria with a stack of cookbooks at the register with names like Vetri, Keller etc...oh, and the food was delicious. And to boot, 3 tacos, $6...probably the cheapest tacos I've ever had.
Jonathan Posted December 28, 2015 Author Posted December 28, 2015 Sadly, as I came to realize on Sunday driving home from New Jersey, this place is no longer worth a trip from out of town, cross town or across the street. It seems as if they have changed ownership--their menu even has a different name on it. The food a shadow of what it was this summer, which was stunning. The world has lost an amazing taqueria.

When you say 'the menu has a different name on it,' do you mean the restaurant's name has changed? 1
Jonathan Posted December 30, 2015 Author Posted December 30, 2015 When you say 'the menu has a different name on it,' do you mean the restaurant's name has changed? I think it has changed its name, though I see nothing mentioned on the web regarding the closing of Los Jimenez.
