Editorial Review for El Jardin Cafe – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
The cozy offspring of the larger El Jardin down the block, this popular stop has a wall of windows facing Clark Street. During summer, open windows bring breezes and street sounds to casual margarita-sipping revelers. The menu offers tacos and burritos, plus unique lechon--juicy, slow-roasted pork, available sliced as an entree or as a filling. The Super burrito is aptly named: beans, meat or sauteed vegetables with cheese, tomato and avocado in a 14-inch tortilla.

What to DrinkMargaritas are the way to go. For just a dollar or two more, upgrade your margarita with a better-quality tequila. FYI: Margaritas are served on the rocks unless you specifically ask for frozen.

I don't know who some of these other reviewers are, but I have lived around the corner from the restraurant for years and have always found the food to be authentic and fantastic. The margaritas are potent and the service is always fast.

The food was absolutely terrible. I got the Jardin combination and the meat was disgusting, if you can even call it meat. After taking 3 bites I wanted to immediately purge in their bathroom, but figured they would probably scoop it up and serve it to the next customer. Do not go there for any reason other than drinking.
Pros: None
Cons: Food, Serve Cat & Dog meat, Overpriced
