My experience has been that Hi Points are pretty reliable, though they won't win any beauty contests.
As to the Jimenez (pronounced He-men'-ez), they may be better now, but they were always made of poor quality materials and didn't hold up well. Some were reliable enough, at least for a while, but in general they were not guns most folks would want to rely on if they were able to afford a better one. Oddly, the design is quite good and made of good materials they would be a decent gun - but then they would cost more.
