Jimenez Bakery & Restaurant

For weeks we have wanted to eat at Durango's, because Lynn had been saying how wonderful it is, but something would come up and we would decide to eat somewhere else. Today was it! We were on our way to Durango’s!
We pull into a parking lot that was near the Court House. I was looking all around for a Durango’s sign. When we got out of the car I looked up to find a sign that said “Jimenez Bakery & Restaurant”, confused I said, “Lynn, this isn’t Durango’s?” With no hesitation Lynn quickly replied, “This is what I meant! ”… After a few minutes of laughter we entered the building. The smell of fresh baked goods filled the air. We were hooked!
We headed to our seat, which was “seat yourself”. Service was fast and friendly, the atmosphere was serene. Both Lynn and I had the Antojito Special, which included an enchilada (beef, chicken, or cheese), a beef taco, a bean chalupa, beans & rice… all homemade. No joke, absolutely everything at Jimenez, that’s edible, is homemade!!! FANTASTIC!
After filling our bellies with delicious Mexican food our sweet teeth were very jealous, so we stared through the glass cases at multitudes of mouth-watering sweets… cookies, donuts, turnovers, bread, chips, Mexican pastries, etc.
We selected “a few” cookies of sorts, which was very difficult because every last bit of the bakery goods looked wonderful. We paid our ticket and “rolled” on back to the office. The cookies were delish!
Lynn & I voted and we give Jimenez Bakery & Restaurant 5 stars!!!

Introducing Tuesday Tastings with Lynn & Jenn

Tired of the same old lunch hour every day?
Want to try something different?
Well that's what Lynn & Jenn are all about!

We have decided to explore the offerings of Lubbock by leaving the office around noon and heading out to jostle are jaded appetites.

We want to share our lunch experiences with you and encourage you to try those "not so wellknown" family-owned unique places that are scattered around our town.

We will be documenting our journey along the way, and posting our reviews of each establishment.

Our purpose for this journey is to expand your lunch time expectations.

Bon Apetite,

Lynn & Jenn
