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!

Kula the Revolving Sushi Bar

If I say Sushi, what would you say? YES! Is the only correct answer.  I had the pleasure of eating at the newest Sushi place in Doraville this week, called  Kula  it is an international brand, with 400 restaurants in Japan and this is the 13th revolving sushi bar in the US. They have places in California, Texas, and now Georgia.  Hosted by Davo Eda, the Public Relations Manager, he was so kind to invite me in to see the new place. He even let me bring a friend, so of course I brought my favorite lady Callie, to help me eat and take pictures.  We were introduced to Mr. Fresh, it is the plate holder for the conveyor belt, "he" holds the green plates of food and treats. There was a tutorial of how to grab the food from the belt, as well as how to order from the menu and dispose of your plates. Mr. Fresh keeps the food germ free, has a chip in it for timing and every 2 hours he lets a specialists know it is time to throw the food out. This ...

A relationship is like a good chili

      On a cold day I love nothing more than a nice bowl of chili. Im sure most of us feel the same. I love getting fresh veggies and a great lean meat and making it myself, letting it cook most of the morning so I have something to warm my belly at night. My chili has lots of layers of flavor to it and changes depending on the products I have available to me at the market.         As I was making chili this week I was thinking about my current single status. And I started laughing...relationships and chili are very similar. Im sure I am not the only person that has thought of this, but I instantly decided this was going to be my next topic! So here we go!         My chili recipe calls for a large pot (I like a dutch oven), to start. I place it on a medium high heat and add oil. I have chopped up a larger white onion and a few cloves of garlic. I add this in and let it cook down till tender. I then add my peppers, now yo...

Goodbye to a Friend

I'm There are times in your life where it seems you are at someone's going away party. Friends get new jobs, they marry, or even leave for school. All kinds of reasons for a move. Some friends you throw a party some friends you take to a bar and some its a nice dinner. My friend Laurie is moving out of state for a new job. I wanted to give her a foodie night out so I did some research and found a new place Endive Publik House at 1468 Mecaslin St NW, Atlanta, GA 30309.  It's new opened in March and is only open Thursday thru Saturday. I recommend making reservations this place is smaller and has few seats. The menu is inventive and fresh. Some foodie plates for those of you that want to expand your palette and some go tos for those of you that would never eat 'that'. What ever that may be.  We started with a bottle of red wine a Pinot Nior recommended by our sever.  Two appetizers a Trio plate of dips with homemade chips and pickled vegetables. We also had a Fig and ...
