Jimmy's Mexican Steakhouse



I am so excited for this write up today! My love for meat, spice, and a good patio is know to most of you. If you don't know this about me, then please read previous posts. 

Jimmy's Mexican Steakhouse is the newest of many restaurants opening in the area, and as a gringo from the area I say THANK YOU! I have been saying for a while that I would love a place with a good atmosphere, TV's for sports, good if not great food, and drink specials. Well, that is exactly what Jimmy's is.  

It is named after owner, Jimmy, a retired Dekalb county police officer, he has been in the business of night clubs and restaurants for over a decade. Jimmy's is his 4th opening, but, first with this feel to it. 



When you first enter the restaurant, you know what you are getting in to. From the authentic art on the walls and decor, you can see the details and love put in to this place. The bar is raised above the setting area and is amazing. Tall bar stools, draft beer, and a bar that changes colors. It is a WOW! 
I sat down with Jimmy to get his story and find out why he was in Doraville with this concept. He was nice enough to give me time out of his day and share a meal with me. Jimmy said "we want to fill the void and bridge the gap of the community", that is what he is doing. 

With 80 TV's, (all that had soccer on when I was there), 2 dog friendly patios, an event space, which features a buffet area and bar for tequila tastings. He has truly built an environment for all to enjoy. Some of the specials he has in place now are: Taco Tuesday with $2 tacos an $2 draft Bud Light,  Thursdays is $2 draft all day, and durning some sport events a $20 all you can eat and drink during the game. He is a supporter of Atlanta United and will have MMA fighting on as well. For the weekend warriors, there is also Friday night live music and Tequila specials, and a Sunday brunch from 11 am to 3 pm with a buffet. 




Now to the best part, the food, I had the FAJITAS DE LA CASA, this plate included Ribs, Steak, Chicken, Shrimp, Sausage, rice and beans, with all the toppings you need. I also had some of the house Taco sauce, let me explain to you why you should always ask the for the Taco sauce, its AMAZING, really that is all you need to know. I took some home with me and I have had it on 2 more meals, now I am out of it and I am sad, and will need to go in just to buy it. 

The ribs are tender and had a spicy bbq sauce on them, other tables around me had them as well, even 1 that came up to Jimmy and said they came in for something else and then ordered the ribs. They are that good! The steak was grilled to perfection and you could taste the wood fire. 

Jimmy ordered the Grilled Blackened Chicken Sandwich, it looked great, very tender and was served with fires.   






The pepper that was on the skillet as well I devoured, it was spicy and smokey, all I want in a pepper. 

We finished the meal with togo boxes and a dessert. It was a large 4 inch warm brownie topped off with vanilla ice cream and chocolate syrup. I am not one for sweets, but, do not pass up one of these. There is also a selection of cheesecakes and ice cream. 




 I am so happy this place is in my city and a few miles away from my home. I will be spending a lot of time here, so, if you want to join me on the patio for a game, let me know. I will be here for football, Atlanta United games, and MMA, drinking a frosted beverage and eating some of this amazing food.

Good Eats!

JCT Kitchen and Sunday Supper

During the holiday season Derek and I decided to go back to JCT. We have been there before dinner and drinks for my birthday which was great!  Sunday Supper is a great idea the JCT does. A course menu for under $30. It's such a great idea! First things first, make a reservation while you can sit at the bar for dinner table side service is very nice and there is always a long wait! So please make a  reservation!  Second, get there early. This helps with two items one it's nice for the staff to have you checked in ahead of time for seating rotation. Two you can sit at the bar and get a craft cocktail from one of the knowledgeable bartenders.  So we sit down and order our meal. Everyone starts with homemade biscuits and jam. And a course of devil eggs. Our biscuits came out late due to running out (they are that good) and the first round of the biscuits where over cooked but replaced quickly! The eggs are fantastic all what you need and just like moms only a lot better!...

Seven Lamps a hidden gem in Buckhead

We can all agree if you live in Atlanta that this summer has been pretty fantastic for weather. So to enjoy the summer nights as best I could I headed over to Buckhead and decided I would try a new place.  So here I am driving through a parking lot and off to the right tucked behind the storefronts was a little patio with covered tables. I pulled in and walk up to the front desk. Asked the girl if we could sit outside and off we went.  You have a choice between family style tables or little metal cafe tables. There are a few chairs you can sit in and have a cocktail or glass of wine.  We sat at the table and immediately had water brought over. I ordered a Rose' and my date a beer. I think it was called Naked Pig. He loved it!  The chef serves a pickled plate instead of bread. All done in house and soooo tasty. The menu is innovative. Local farm to table meals. The menu changes daily based on what is available. I was told the produce was sold by Farmer Dan...you can't...

Nuevo Laredo Cantina best Mexican in town

Nothing better on a bright and sunny afternoon than a margarita on the rocks and some good company. So this week I decided to go on an adventure and check out Nuevo Laredo Cantina located at 1495 Chattahoochee Ave NW, Atlanta, GA 30318. It's a great little hidden spot in Atlanta that has some of the best Mexican food you can find!  Walked in and got a table in the main dinning   area. Where you will find decor that is Charming and funny. Lots of pictures and some great signs! Chips and fresh salsa hit the table first. The chips are warm and salsa is fresh and spicy! The server came on and took out orders. We ordered margaritas on the rocks w salt now I will tell you the drink to order is the Cadillac margarita it's big and fantastic, but it was a week day so I went with the smaller one still as tasty just smaller!  The serve them by the glass or pitcher and prices start at $6.50.  Now I will have to let you in on a secret if mine. I have a weakness for a Chili R...
