Everything is priced very reasonably, too. Food: Two enchiladas with carne asada: 5/5 -- I prefer the salsa verde, but you can do red or both! Their big plates come with rice and refried beans. Bean dip: 5/5 -- I could come here just for this! Warm refried beans with crema, queso fresco, and salsa verde. Chips & Salsa: 5/5 -- Some of the chips are nice and puffy, which is a fun and different texture as you go through the basket. I always ask for extra salsa to eat with my meal! Service: Our servers have always been friendly and attentive! Ambiance: They play a mix of different Latin music, and they don't blast it through the speakers. The decor is cute and their bathroom is always clean!

The front counter lady said it would have to be an extra cost for a couple of slices of lemons or limes.....I asked her to run that be me again. She said it will coast extra for slices of limes or lemon. She said that Is their rule...it blew my mind That asked for limes for Mexican Food At charge . That was Greed and lacked any customer Satisfaction for 2 slices of lemon or lime. It is common practice that all Mexican Latino restaurants, taquerias, That serve Mexican food will Not charge for 2 slices of lemon or lime Cmon el Jardin you lost a good customer Over charging for lime slices...unbelievable It's the point of them just being greedy . Also on all Honesty el jardin manteca is priced way over the top for average Mexican food. !

First time coming here. Parking lot is in the back behind the liquor store. There should be a sign…read morethat says parking. Came in around 11 for lunch. Place has a salsa bar and some limited seating. I ordered the carne asada super quesadilla as well as two chicharonnes tacos and a horchata. Was given a tray for chips and two cups for the salsa bar. Salsa bar was pretty good they had a lot of options as well as grilled/pickled veggies. Food came out and the quesadillas were sliced in a narrow way which i liked cuz i can dip in the salsa. Tacos were also good and flavorful. Overall great place for Mexican food. For sure would come back and try their ribs or other meats.

Today, we went to try this place out. I ordered a whole chicken and half a pound of pork belly…read morechicharrones. I was initially hesitant about the chicharrones since they cost $5.00 each and looked a little old. I asked if they were fresh, and they assured me they were. The nice lady convinced me to get a half pound for $10.00, which is usually about three pieces. Surprisingly, when I got home and opened the box, I found a few extra pieces--thank you! Unfortunately, the pieces were really tough, and even with a sharp knife, they were hard to cut. The flavor overall was good; I just wish I could've eaten them when they were soft and tender. The other highlight was the fresh homemade corn tortillas that came with the whole chicken I purchased. The chicken cost $23.00, which is expensive, but it was definitely worth it. The smoky flavor was delicious, and the tortillas were great. The last thing I'll mention is that their salsa bar had a nice variety of choices. The pork belly chicharrones aren't a deal breaker for me. I'll give this place another try, and try some of their other options. I encourage anyone interested to do the same.

This is not my favorite spot for Mexican food in Manteca, but it's still a solid spot overall…read more Let's dive in... Ambiance - The interior is fairly good size with plenty of tables for groups big and small. There's a salsa bar so you can help yourself to the salsa they offer. Service - Service has always been solid when I've visited. Friendly staff, quick turnaround times usually. Food - The food is pretty good. It's not the best I've had in Manteca, but if I'm ever in a pinch this has been a solid backup option. I typically get their asada super burrito, or tacos with asada, chicken, or pastor. All options are good. Overall, the food won't drop your jaw or make you slap your mama, but it's a solid option here in Manteca.

We bring our food back with a few bites and ask for a refund, they refuse and only give us half. Burritos weren't even half way.

I've been a regular at Las Casuelas in Manteca for a long time, so this isn't coming from someone…read morelooking for a reason to complain. The food and the spot are why I keep coming back. But the recent changes to the Monday/Wednesday happy hour tacos caught me off guard. The deal now requires everyone at the table to buy alcohol, not just one person -- and the tacos themselves have gotten smaller, too. I don't really have a problem with the alcohol policy itself; that's pretty standard for happy hour. What got me was the service. I sat at the bar for nearly 20 minutes and the bartender ignored me the whole time -- no greeting, no heads-up about the new policy, nothing. Had someone just told me, I would've sat in the dining room from the start. No signage, no note on the menu, no acknowledgment at the bar. All around, a disappointing experience. I'll probably still be back -- back to my usual fajita salad -- but good things can't last forever, I guess.

Reason I give 3 price expensive, rice under cooked, fried beans dry.

I do want to come back and try it but it's been awhile since my first visit. The puffy tacos didn't seem puffy but they probably would be if I ate there. They are located in a convenient location but not much traffic due to them having a location to themselves. Other food locations are just a few streets down and they are across from the Kaiser hospital. Seating available is good...more high chairs than table chairs. If they get a happy hour or drinks specials might convince me to come in sooner but I think I'll be coming back sometime next year.

The nachos were loaded up though and used real cheese... not that canned stuff, which is always a win in my book. Service has been friendly each time I've been in (I generally just grab a bean and cheese burrito or quesadilla when popping in here.) A location I'd return to when I want a quick bite, but maybe not on my top list if I'm having a specific craving.

When we showed up on Father's Day, we waited outside from 8:55am - 9:15am but the doors never opened, so we had to find somewhere else to eat. It's worth noting that Tato's own website currently says they open at 8am on weekends (Google says 9am). Very disappointing since we drove over one hour to have a special breakfast here.
