There is no surprise that Jimboy's Taco is one of the most sought after tacos in Reno and Sparks because of the couple's dedication and passion in building their business. Funny to say but we honestly think that we are somewhat related because fate has its own way of connecting people. We first met Peter and Alma in the early school years of our children. Peter coached the basketball team of Little Flower while Ysabelle played on the opponent team for St. Albert’s. Since then, our friendship blossomed and they have become our traveling partner along with our children. We are truly indebted to their undying love, care, and support for all of us, including our extended families. Wishing more years of travels and friendship.
