You get plenty of amazing food and plenty of amazing customer service. You get what you pay for!

Great food! Great atmosphere! Food is delicious and they get it out quick to you. The Margaritas are super delicious and get the job done. Clean establishment two thumbs up read more

On the rare occasion I'm in the area I make sure to go here. Everything I've had has been above average. Prompt and friendly service too.

The only positive thing I can say is: sweet server. Unfortunately, I could barely afford to tip her after paying El Jardin's exuberant prices. $7 for a kids meal? And $14 for a weekday lunch meal? We recently moved to CO from Northern VA where kids meals were around $4 and you could easily find a weekday lunch combo for $6-7. I'm literally in shock. I cannot believe this place does ANY business. I MAY have been able to tolerate these crazy prices if the food had been excellent. But, it wasn't. In fact - I'm fairly certain the salsa was poured straight from a jar from the local grocery store. Lesson learned. I will NEVER be back! read more

Customer service was amazing. Immediately got seated. Right after we got seats our waiter was there to get our drink order. Food didn't take a long time and the food came out hot and fast. Food was amazing. They were on top of our drinks the whole time and kept making sure everything was good. Also gave us a coupon for next time. We don't live in Colorado and was driving threw and decided to stop. Very glad we did. Will for sure stop next time we are driving threw. Amazing all around. read more

So this is a neighborhood restaurant for us, but over the last couple of years we have been disappointed a few times. As a result, we rarely go there anymore. Tonight, we were in the mood for their Thursday night 2.99 margaritas, so tried them one more time. What a delightful surprise to find a whole new tone to this long-standing neighborhood landmark. The waiter, Hector, was spot on! He was attentive, polite and there exactly when we needed him. The menu has changed...for the better! We tried the carnitas tacos and there exceptional!! Smoky, juicy pork with cabbage slaw and perfectly ripe avocados! The green chili on my stuffed sopapilla was a perfect medium hot and so flavorful. The plate presentation was so much better. Not sure if they have a new manager, chef or just an improved standard, but it definitely shows!!! We will be heading over there a lot more often if this is their new way of doing things! Great job El Jardin! Way to step up your game! read more

Come for the guacamole, stay for the green chile! I fancy myself a bit of a green chile snob - it's hard to find a tasty and spicy option, but this place sure has it. It is the best Mexican food I've had in Colorado in a really long time. their rellenos are also delicious. The service is wonderful, the staff is so friendly and helpful, and the pricing is incredibly reasonable. This place is a gem! read more

el jardin has been my favorite Mexican food restaurant in commerce city for quite some time. they always have a very friendly staff and great atmosphere. I highly recommend this place to friends family and passer byers that want great authentic Mexican cuisine try their sampler it is great the sopailla sundae wow Ben you sure do have a great place read more

Great Mexican Food! (Also has American food)! Great tasting, homemade! Great Green Chile, real decent prices and excellent service. Ben always gives great deals during Bronco Season , I give it a read more

Excellent Mexican!! You have to try the chile con queso; it does not disappoint! They do not have a spicy margarita on their menu but make it for me every time! So glad I found this place! read more

We're from Texas and it wasn't a disappointment at all! I recommend the El Jardin Plate, that sauce is to die for! Great food great service. Drinks were good too. read more

I should first of all say that my two-star review is because of the establishment itself, not the food. The food isn't actually half bad, but the ambiance of the entire restaurant completely puts me off. There isn't really a whole lot of Mexican-fare in Commerce City, and as a result, this place gets packed, especially on Friday and Saturday nights. They seem to be the only real Mexican joint in town. ...and it's almost as if El Jardin knows exactly this, which is why they run the restaurant the way they do. How else would you explain a menu that is as pricey as it is? For two individuals to dine, plan on spending around $30, and that's not with alcoholic beverages. The small combination plate is almost $13. Mexican should not be this expensive. They also refuse substitutions. Another interesting aspect is that the chile relleno is offered on the menu, but as an add on for nearly $4. Most Mexican restaurants I've been to have chile rellenos readily available and on the menu, part of combination plates, etc. But El Jardin gives off the vibe that the chile relleno is some kind of a delicacy. Also, and I realize that this is nitpicky, but the building itself is a frustration. They have two entrances, both with hostess stands where you can wait to be seated. If you don't get there on a Friday night before 5:30, plan on waiting for 25 minutes or more. Yet the one hostess stand, which I'm assuming is near the back of the restaurant, rarely gets used, so you'll be waiting a few minutes just to be told that the wait is over 20 minutes. To the average patron who is new to the establishment, confusion will begin to set in... If there's a 25-minute wait, then where are all of the other waiting patrons? Do I wait here, or do I cross the restaurant to where I'm assuming the other customers are waiting at the other hostess stand? Like I said, frustrating. I want to like this place, I really do. We've given it a few tries, but each time we leave disappointed... at both the prices and the completely backwards way that this restaurant is ran. read more

We have been coming here for over 12 years, my husband and I love it! They have amazing guacamole and their Bloody Marys are the best. But the top it all off they have soppapillas ( spelling is wrong sorry) that have sugar and cinnamon over the top of them that are so delicious. I highly recommend coming here because they will treat you like family. Oh and did I mention they have a rewards card that earns you points and you get appetizers and $10 off coupons in the mail quite often. read more

El Jardin is the BEST! I'm not a local, but this was the first Mexican restaurant I went to in Commerce City and it'll now be the only one I go to after trying several others in the area. Where to start? The service is always, 100% of the time, amazing. The staff are friendly, prompt, and have yet to mess up one of my orders. (This is huge as I tend to customize.) Anyway, the salsa is fresh and the chips keep your tummy happy while waiting for your meal. So, here's my only dilemma.... I always think I am going to try something new, but I can't get past how much I love my "go to" of chicken enchiladas with the hot green chili. It's just out of this world! I have taken several of my family members there and they also have always liked what they've ordered. I will absolutely be back time and time again! read more

Yuck! Sorry! Second trip there in the past 5 years. Not impressed with the food! Had the combo fajita burrito and was not impressed...but I'm very picky. Beef was tough and chicken was blah! Rice blah and beans boring! Will not return! Service was very good, but service doesn't make a meal! read more

I love this place! I don't live close, but it's well worth the drive. Great chips and salsa. I always have the same entree - Enchiladas Rancheras, cheese and onion, eggs over easy, w/enchilada sauce. Always consistent and delicious. I go to other Mexican restaurants, but this is the ONLY place I go when I want enchiladas. They frequently mail coupons to me, which actually take $ off the total price - not a scam like other places. I always take advantage of the birthday coupon they send me. Also, you have to take advantage of the Mother's Day and Father's Day buffet. Little pricey, but plentiful and delicious. Wait staff is always friendly and courteous. Why 4 stars instead of 5? It's time to replace the carpet with something other than carpet. read more

Great restaurant most often come in on Wednesday and always a great atmosphere. Good brews on tap for happy hour. Just wanted to say martin was in bar area cleaning up windows and did great job compared to before and kept a smile the whole time. And bartender mike was awesome always engaging in great conversation. read more

We decided to try El Jardin on our family night, and what a wonderful choice!!! I ordered the El Jardin Special combo & it was a mountain of food that I could not finish. Our server Lakrisha was AWESOME & attentive. It was really welcoming and the staff is great. read more

This household is a fan of the Jar-Jar. Food is always good service is great and now that they have a bar don't get me started..yay happy hour! My favorite is Pablo's enchiladas and the green chili always good. In addition they have a good breakfast menu that is worth a weekend stop. Ben keep up the good work. read more

Love this place. Great service and yummy food. Their rellenitos are fabulous!

Just returned home from another great dinner at El Jardin. We love this place. Huge menu, huge portions and great service. We always get the Rellenitos appetizer (they flash fry a relleno, slice it up and serve it with fresh guacamole). I almost always get a combo plate and I end up bringing half of it home, great left overs. My S.O. always gets the carne asada and he loves it. The prices are reasonable and they offer everything from Tex/Mex to seafood to authentic Mexican dishes. We drive out of our way to Commerce City just for this place and it never disappoints!!! read more

Delicious food. Every thing I have ordered has been good. The chips taste freshly baked and the green chili is nice and hot. Highly recommended! read more

You need to have your next private party at El Jardin! They made coordinating our baby shower very easy. The space is beautiful, the food was excellent, and the staff are super friendly! We all had a great time. Mil gracias El Jardin!!! read more

My family and I have been here at least weekly for a couple of years now. The chili is amazing and the whole menu is delicious! I usually can't drink margaritas because I can't stand sweet and sour, but I can't get enough of these! Plus on Thursdays you get them for $1.99 each. Their loyalty card is sooooo worth it, you actually get rewarded! We even used their banquet room for our rehearsal dinner for our wedding and they knocked it out of the park! They served 60 people hot food buffet style and the quality was still incredible. I highly recommend this place if you love Mexican food. Not the best neighborhood, but it will become a favorite spot right away! read more

El Jardin recently catered a wedding rehearsal dinner for us. We live out of state so relied on the recommendation of a family member who works in the food entertainment business. We could not have been more pleased. Numerous guests complemented us on the food. The service and presentation were top notch. Ben told us he would not be satisfied unless our expectations were exceeded. He can be very satisfied. read more

El Jardin is the standard I use for Mexican food. They are consistently good, and have consistently good service.

El Jardin came up in conversation today and I realized I've never reviewed them on Yelp. So here goes, quite simply, the best green chili in the world and maybe the best mexican food overall. Breakfast burrito, and pork/avocado burritos are my faves. Wish I was closer...i miss you El Jardin, oh how I miss you. read more

After wandering around looking for something that was a non-chain eatery, we found El Jardin. The service was good, the atmosphere was pleasant, and the food was very, very good. One of the more unique things that we found on the menu was the fajita taco salad. Not only was there quite a lot of meat, but there was a really good flavor in the whole bowl. They were very generous with the guacamole and the meal was satisfying to say the least. read more

Rellenitos were delicious. I had the "crispy chille relleno plate" large portions and yes my food was good. Service was mediocre and the credit card machine was down I had to wait 30 min to finally leave. I will definitely come back to give it another try. read more

Wow! The food and margaritas were really good! We also had great service - if you go ask for Danny's section!

Don't come. TERRIBLE service. Waited over 15 minutes for appetizer and not only did they get it wrong but forgot sides that came with it.

Delicious!! Everything i have ordered here is fantastic. The service is amazing and the food is well priced.

We love the food and atmosphere, our waitress Kristin is always a pleasure. We have been coming here almost 10 years and will continue to come and bring family and friends. The green chili is some of the best we have ever had, the carnitas are to die for and the margaritas and sopapillas are a perfect way to experience the whole atmosphere. read more

We've been coming here for over ten years! Always good service and great food. When they are busy a 15 to 30 minute wait is worth it. Based on the customers coming back and new ones discovering it! Can't understand the negative reviews unless it was a one time issue. I suggest they try it again, especially on Thursday - Margarita night out on the patio! Who hasn't had a bad meal or service even at their favorite place. Who's they would open a new one up in Brighton! read more

El Jardin is hands down the best Mexican food restaurant in Colorado or anywhere for that fact. Being family owned and operated makes you feel like family when you are dining. Ben, Paul and Johnny alway greet us with a warm smile and hello. Desirae is the best bar tender a thirsty customer could wish for. Never leaving a glass unattended and if you are regulars like ourselves, she is preparing the beverage as we enter the Cantina. The food is very delicious. The flavor is consistent everytime, making your craving satisfied each visit made. Whether it's a Happy Hour visit or dining with family and friends, you will not be disappointed. Here's to many more! read more

Best Mexican restaurant in the Denver area - worth driving across town for. I can't get enough green chili!

This place is soooooooo good!! They have amazing green chile. I am glad that it is located close to my house because I wife and I attend this place frequently! Even the younger kids like this place. This is the most restaurant ever, the very most! read more

I went to El Jardin for my birthday the other day, and I was so impressed with the food, and the service! I got Pablos chicken enchiladas, which were excellent! 3 enchiladas, rice and beans on a huge platter! Got 3 meals from it! The desserts were delicious! I got the flan, and we got free sopapillas for my birthday. Highly recommend this place for excellent Mexican food! read more

Terrific service, my dinner (fajita burrito) was perfectly done, very spicy as I requested. Steak was of a high quality a seasoned just right. Anymore I've learned to accept the typical Mexican food experience however this was exceptional, might I say maybe the best I've ever had without trying to go over the top. I travel for work and am not a native to Denver, I was just passing through on business and not many times have I gotten so lucky as to have a meal that good coming off the street. read more

Very Yummy Mexican food! I loved the queso with warm tortilla chips. The hot green chili was spicy and very tasty! The restaurant is very clean and has a nice vibe. The staff was very attentive, friendly and welcoming. Check this place out! read more
