History[]
Past[]
In a flashback to 1999 in Season 3, Ximenez accompanies Hector in a meeting with Don Eladio at his hacienda and presents him with a mascot bobblehead from Hector's ice cream store and rolls of money belted by rubber bands.
Season 2[]
At the U.S.-Mexico border, Ximenez watches as Border Patrol agents inspect his Regalo Helado truck. They find no illegal items and allow him entry into Mexico. Ximinez takes out a popsicle before proceeding to drive to Mexico. As he finishes it and reaches miles away from the border, he pulls over to a rural roadway and walks to a drop site where he takes out a revolver from a secret cache hidden by a rock. He puts his popsicle stick beside twenty others jutting out from the dirt, each signifying a run he has done. Later, he delivers boxes of ice cream to Hector at the store, which Mike Ehrmantraut observes from his car. The following day, Ximenez is seen at the garage where his truck is parked.
During his next run, Ximenez sings along to the radio when Mike drags a hose perforated with iron nails into the middle of the road. Ximenez frantically slams on the brakes but his truck is already caught in the trap, blowing out the tires. The truck careens forward before stopping in a ditch on the roadside. Ximenez walks out with a gun and catches a glimpse of the car Mike was in, but immediately afterward Mike suddenly puts a gun to his head and binds, gags and blindfolds him with duct tape before throwing him on his stomach. Mike then steals all the money from his truck's tires and drives away with Ximenez left tied up on the road. Nacho Varga later reveals he was freed by a good Samaritan.
Ximenez is later shot in the head by The Cousins on Hector's orders. His killing is witnessed by Mike as he is spying on Hector and Nacho.
