    Chicken Quesadillas!
    Molly L.

    Not too bad! My friend and I were looking for a place to stop as we were driving back from Yosemite and this diner seemed like the best place to do so. I like that they offer both American and Mexican food -- a clever business appeal for folks who are indecisive about what they would like to eat! I ordered a simple chicken quesadilla. Our server was a nice lady who also brought us chips and salsa. It was a slow night for them, as we were the only ones there. Food came out quick too! It was very filling and the portions are generous. Two quesadillas accompanied by large sides of beans and rice! I had to take the rest home as I could only eat about 1/3 of it. That being said, the overall vibe reminds me of a Denny's, but I enjoyed the atmosphere. It was super laid-back and chill, and it was refreshing to be able to sit down and enjoy a good, filling meal.

    I love coming to this place and I love their breakfast plates; however, I must say that this is the fifth time I've came back here with receipt error. I just want to share that they've charged me extra plate for every time we've came and ate here, so I would suggest that you look over your receipt before paying. I know we have a habit of just giving out our payment as soon as we get the receipt but for some reason, I checked the receipt for the first time and saw a plate charged that we've never ordered. For 5 consecutive times we went, each time had an extra charge. We've discussed it with the owner and she apologized and said that they're just really busy...but 5 consecutive times? You be the judge. Also, they're breaking the CDC guidelines. Today, my family observed that they're not sanitizing the menus as well as the tables. The restaurant was packed today and they filled up all the tables without following the 6-ft distancing.

    Food is pretty bland. Service is pretty slow. If you sit on the patio there is constant noise and fumes from the highway traffic.

    I've had better food from a gas station, but great results on getting my intestines to give me a bowel movement, "hence the 1 star."

    El Jardin Restaurant - Chicken enchiladas w/whole beans and salad

    please don't get rid of crab enchiladas because I do really like and it tastes amazing and those…read morethree people have different taste buds but i recommend this place because they have good food

    Authentic Flavor, Amazing Service & Our Favorite Mexican Restaurant!…read more As someone of Mexican descent, I'll be honest--going out to eat at a Mexican restaurant isn't usually my first choice. I grew up eating authentic Mexican food made by an amazing Mexican cook of a mother, so I can be pretty particular about what I consider really good Mexican food. That's why it means so much that El Jardin in Oakdale has become one of my favorite places to eat! I've been to other El Jardin locations, including Manteca & Santa Cruz, & while their food is good, the Oakdale location is on another level when it comes to flavor. There's something about the seasoning, freshness, & overall taste that keeps us coming back. & it's not just the food! The atmosphere is welcoming, the service is always friendly & attentive, & one of my favorite things is that they actually remember my husband & me when we come in. That personal touch makes every visit feel special. My absolute favorite order is the La Compuesta Taco Salad with steak fajitas, & I always ask for Romaine lettuce instead of the shredded lettuce. Trust me--it's a chef's kiss! & TODAY... I asked one of the girls to surprise me with a blended margarita, & she absolutely knocked it out of the park! Just look at this beautiful drink! It tasted every bit as amazing as it looks--refreshing, flavorful, & with the perfect little kick. I think I just found my new favorite drink: the blended watermelon, strawberry, cucumber & jalapeño margarita! Now we just have to come up with a name for it. Do I dare suggest "The Karina Marg"? No? Okay, okay--we'll keep working on the name. If you're in Oakdale & looking for delicious Mexican food, great service, & a place that makes you feel like a regular even when you're just stopping in for a meal, I highly recommend El Jardin Oakdale! Great food. Amazing drinks. Wonderful service. & flavors that remind me of home. El Jardin Oakdale, you've definitely earned a loyal customer in me!
