Jimoco Cafe & Pasta

Small family run business with very good pasta. Their spicy soup pasta is excellent (they will adjust the level of spicyness according to taste). We received very good service as well. The only negative thing was their bread and not-​so-​fresh pamesian cheese, hence only 4 stars.

My experience to date has consisted of a single takeout order of pasta. Since they offer 2-​for-​1 on their pasta, I ordered the spaghetti and meatballs and the spaghetti carbonara. I also ordered an extra side of meatballs for $ 5. Much to my surprise, this side order consisted of ONE single meatball. Even more surprising was the spaghetti and meatBALLS was also singular. Yep, just one.
I was totally disappointed because I read the menu (with photos!) and looked at all the photos on their Unilocal page prior to ordering. All the photos show three meatballs on the spaghetti and the side order is four meatballs for $ 5. I wrote to the restaurant to ask about this but they simply ignored me. Not impressed, that’s for sure.
The garlic toast that comes with the pasta is pretty mediocre but the pasta itself was actually really good. Especially the carbonara. For the price (taking into consideration the 2-​for-​1 deal) I thought the portions of pasta were quite reasonable. Works out to about $ 10 per plate. The side order of meatballs (ha!) however, are grossly overpriced. Really? Five bucks for one medium sized ball of ground meat? No thanks.
I’ll probably go back, though, because the carbonara was just that good.

My family really like this place. I personally like their risottos while the rest of my family enjoyed their pastas.
Their 2 for 1 menu items are truly amazing. However, it would be great if they can be served in a bigger portion, as we often had to order other appetizers or an extra item to fill the stomach.
Their breakfast is quiet decent as well, but it only serves till 11.
Give it a try if you’re in the neighborhood.

Love this place! Cheap prices, good food! (also unlimited garlic bread)
I always go there for their 2 for 1 specials. 2 pastas for $ 20, and they’re the right sized portions!
I’ve been trying everything on their menu, linguine soul is still my favourite, it’s a must try!
This place is busy all the time even on weekdays. Either go early or go late. Or else expect a really long wait. Parking is also a little hard. There’s a small parking lot in the back behind the bank that allows for 2 hours (I believe).

Came here last weekend. They apparently are well known for having their 2 for 1 deal. But honestly, it’s more like buying 2 for the price of 2, because what you get quantity wise is not worth the price if you didn’t want the «free» one. Oh and importantly, you can mix and match so you can get two different dishes for the price of «one».
With that being said, the food in my opinion is very delicious here. Depending on how big of an eater you are, 1 dish might fill you up to a comfortable level, but I probably could have finished both in one sitting.
I don’t remember exactly what I had, but it had penne on cream sauce. The cream sauce is to die for. I made sure I finished every last drop. The penne was not too hard or soft, so can’t complain there either!
Only downside is that the servers can probably be a bit attentive. There were 3 servers when I was there and the place isn’t that big, but it was rather difficult to get a hold of one because they would either on their cell phone in the cash area or chatting amongst themselves.
But overall, delicious food and great value. I would definitely recommend coming here if you’re in the area.

Boyfriend and I had no dinner plan and were too lazy to cook on a Friday night, so we started exploring food options in New West and Coquitlam. 2 for 1 PASTA definitely caught our eye! After reading some very positive reviews about this place, we decided to give it a try.
Jimoco is surrounded by a few old shops and restaurants. It looks ghetto from the outside! I was very surprised to see the line up when we opened the door. There were about 5 groups of people ahead of us when we put our name down. The waiting area was just right by the door– small and crowded. We waited at least half an hour before getting a table. I didn’t mind the wait since everyone seemed to enjoy their food.
After we sat down, our waitress was very pleasant and apologized for the wait. While we were debating between the meatballs and caesar salad as our appetizer, our waitress advised that they made their own caesar salad dressing. We then ended up getting both! I really liked the salad especially the cheese crumbs on top! Romain lettuce was very fresh and crunchy. But we both didn’t like the meatballs. It was over-​baked, very dry. The tomato sauce was not too bad.
Here it comes to our 2 for 1 pasta! I ordered Carbonara and my boyfriend got the Fettuccine Ragu. The Carbonara was very tasty! Creamy but not too heavy with a good amount of thick bacon bites. The Ragu was made out of beef short ribs, not just ground beef! Portion was pretty good too for the price!
Large Caesar Salad $ 6
4 Meatballs $ 5
2 for 1 Pasta $ 18.95
Overall I really enjoyed this place! Although it was not all perfect such as the meatballs, but I think it deserves a 5 star for the value! It can’t really get any better for the price! We will definitely come back again!
