Our Story

Jimmy Carter

A San Diego Native

Jimmy Carter, a third-generation Californian, originally opened this spot as an American eatery. But his love for authentic Mexican flavors led to a transformation that the neighborhood has embraced for over 30 years.

We pride ourselves on being a place where locals feel like family. Whether you're here for the festive decor, the strong margaritas, or our signature Tlaquepaque sauce, you're always welcome at Jimmy's.
