[edit] History
In 1949, restaurant owners Jim and Margaret visited a friend's house for dinner. They were served tacos, their first time eating this food, and having experience in the food service business, they thought that the taco was food everyone would love. Jim soon after started experimenting with the taco. In 1954, Jim was ready to market the taco, and turned a trailer into and mobile taco stand in King's Beach, Lake Tahoe.
By 1955, Jim and Margaret had a new, larger trailer in South Lake Tahoe. In a few years, they had enough business to open a stand in Sacramento. At this time, they started licensing franchises in limited numbers.
[edit] Food
Unlike most other fast food chains, Jimboy's uses fresh ingredients, which they prepare every morning. Most of the items on their menu have a corn tortilla with cheese and meat, with parmesan cheese sprinkled on the outside. Most meals come with Spanish rice and refried beans. Jimboys also offers vegetarian items.
