    Stopped in here early Saturday morning waiting for grandson's baseball game.. Only restaurant that opens at 10:00. Great service by Savannah! We will return to try their food, but today was chips and salsa (fresh). Great looking menu and the food being served looked delicious. Try them out!!

    The best carnitas in the 209, service was great! I highly recommend carnitas Don Paulino

    I love this place. We finally decided to stop and was NOT disappointed. We have even taken our 11 year old who doesn't care for Mexican food, and he LOVES the Carnitas tacos. Many places we have eaten locally for Mexican are hit and miss. Not this place!!! We typically drive to Modesto to get our Carnitas fix. But now we only have to drive to the other side of town. They have other meat options but enjoy the carnitas so much we haven't felt the need to try anything else yet. I hope they can stick around! Ps...their salsa is so good too!

    Best carnita tacos I've had in a long time! Don't miss the Food Truck. Right next door to a fruit stand!

    The best food for miles! I stopped here on a road trip from SF to mammoth and it's safe to say this was the best meal I've had all week.

    Amazing!!! We ordered a birthday dinner for 14 people and there was enough to feed 20! So…read moredelicious!! Mike and Maria were so helpful deciding what to order. We also eat there often and love the ambiance! Thank you so much!!

    FYI, if you are looking for a good Mexican Restaurant stay clear of El Jardin in Oakdale. My wife…read moreand I along with our 9 year old grandson stopped by on Friday June 5th. My grandson ordered the Cheeseburger with frie's, my wife did the two item combo and I ordered the Supreme Burrito. When our order arrived I was busy answering a text, my wife took a bite off her plate and informed me I should start eating because her food was not hot. I took a bite of mine and my food was not even warm. I took some from the center of the plate and it was actually cold. I tried to eat some but decided, Why? When the waitress came by and asked how things were, we informed her that the food was cold. She informed us she would let someone in the back know. She never returned to let us know what was going on. When she did return, I asked for some to go boxes. I'll be damned if I was just going to walk away when my bill came to $67. She never asked if we wanted our food heated up, no we are sorry, or any other words. Like a fool I am I paid the bill and left her a $10 tip. Driving home I could have kicked myself in the butt for paying anything. If I were to give this El Jardin a rating, 1 to 10 with 10 being the best, they would get a 1! Stay away from this place. My grandson s hamburger was raw in the middle. We ended up tossing it the next day.

    I'd always seen this taco truck when I drove past on a regular occasion, but had never stopped…read morebefore until I went with my friend and her daughter. I got two of the yummy special shrimp tacos and they were HUGE!! I could barely finish one, which was a bummer because I just wanted to keep eating since they tasted so AMAZING!! They do not take credit card, much to my embarrassment since my friend had misinformed me that they did. The cashier was wonderful and let me squeak by with the cash that I had on hand. I was embarrassed that I didn't have the full amount, but she was very understanding and so nice about it. The food is absolutely DELICIOUS!!

    Hello, I wanted to express my disappointment with my recent order…read more I ordered tacos, a super quesadilla, and a burrito. I paid extra to have sour cream and cheese added to the tacos, and the super quesadilla was also supposed to include sour cream. None of the items had sour cream, and the tacos were missing the cheese that I was charged for. If customers are paying for additional items, they should receive them. While I understand that mistakes can happen, this is not the first disappointing experience I've had. On a previous visit, I placed my order before several other customers, but because they appeared to know the staff, their orders were made before mine. I chose not to say anything at the time, but combined with this latest experience, it's become difficult to overlook. I've been coming here for years, and it's disappointing to see the quality of both the service and attention to detail decline. Looking forward to a meal only to receive an incomplete order is frustrating, especially when you're charged for items that weren't included. In today's economy, every dollar matters, and customers shouldn't have to pay for products they never receive. I'm not looking for excuses--I simply expect to receive what I paid for and to be treated fairly as a customer. I hope you'll address these issues so future customers don't have the same experience.
