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.

Insider Tips

What to Drink

Margaritas 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.

User Reviews for El Jardin Cafe

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

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.

1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

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

Known for its killer margaritas, this casual spot also dishes up some mean Mexican meals.  See the full editorial review.
