Amazing! Best Mexican food I have had in New York State! As good if not better than any five star resort in Cancun! Enchilada mole was perfect and now I just want to plan my trip back!

Food is really good But Margaritas are $14 and drink menu has no pricing. $14 drink and $16 entree is out of line. Be more transparent and have pricing on drink menu.

Absolutely top-notch authentic Mexican food. Outdoor seating when the weather permits. I am blown away by one of their ceviches called “Vuelve a la Vida”. I order it every time.Be sure to order a dish that comes with rice and refried beans. Their refried beans are to die for! This is a 6 star review, but Google only allows me to put 5 stars. The food is consistently delicious and I always have a great experience at Gardenia’s.
A hidden gem in the old part of Nanuet township. The food is of high quality while the price is low, and they give you plenty of free bites too, e.g. a generous serving of tortilla chips and salsa is presented on the table as soon as you sit down. For a true vegetarian there isn't much on offer, while yours truly can tolerate fish and seafood every now and then, and boy what a treat when one orders the Caldo de Mariscos! In a thick tomato based broth swim generous helpings of jumbo shrimp, mussels, fish chunks and squid slices. I usually order this soup as my main, and the portion is always larger than my stomach, esp. when it comes with 4 free tortillas (handmade, warm and delicious). Last time we visited, my son ordered the Plato de Carnitas (upon the waitress's recommendation) and it was much more substantial than he had thought - he could barely move after finishing the plate! The restaurant is tastefully decorated, with lots of indoor and outdoor seatings.

The food was great, the service was excellent, and the environment was perfect. I had Quesobirria tacos & tostadas, and they were great. My wife had the steak and enchiladas, she loved them. Here lies the problem, I have lived in Nanuet for over 12 years and have never stopped here till today, never really realized this place was here till today. And it was bcuz of a google search that I discovered this plac. Why? Trying to figure why, we haven't seen this restaurant and we pass here daily. I have to say that it's the signage, my wife and I believe that the sign is not strategic, coming from route 59 you cannot tell what kind of restaurant it is. And when you come from the opposite direction you cannot see the restaurant till you are passing it. I honestly think this restaurant can be very successful and popping if it had a better sign describing that it's a Mexican restaurant, I would 3ven pit q little more umph in that sign, bcuz it will pay off. There really isn't anything like this restaurant in the immediate area. Their happy hour is great, 2 for 1 Margarita specials and food specials, let's support our local restaurants and let's make this establishment know to the community, we can make them strive while simultaneously 3njoy the establishment.
Vegetarian options: They have em!
Parking: No issues with parking.
Kid-friendliness: Wonderful environment.
Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant is on the ground floor, no issues for wheelchairs
Cute restaurant, love the decorations and string light wall. GREAT Margaritas, a few different flavors too. Quesabirria tacos were great, melt in your mouth, for sure. Staff was nice.

food was pretty good, but they auto charged a 20% service fee for a party of 2 adults and 2 kids. Then charged a 3% fee for not paying with cash.

Awful service. Waitress took 30 minutes to introduce herself and didn't check up on us at all. We waited over an hour for our food to come. We had to chase down another server to get the check. Meal took 3 1/2 hours. It was Cinco de Mayo, but Mexican restaurants have to be prepared for their busiest day of the year. Customers shouldn't have to chase down their server.Food was good though.

The freshest, tastiest, most delectable mexican cuisine within rockland. Cozy and charming inside with beautiful colorful decorations. Service is always personable and welcoming :) Try the ceviche & have a margarita while you're here.

Drinks were good but when the drinks cost almost as much as the entrees, there’s a problem.I had the enchiladas with mole sauce and it was quite bad. Barely any chicken there and a really weird flavorMy friend had the bistec and that too, though better than my enchilada, was quite nothing.Had the tres leches cake which was just cake with condensed milk dumped all over it. Nothing ‘tres’ about it! Quite bad.Drinks were really good - mango margaritas with chili and lime!The place is very pretty with a really tasteful interior. The bill came to almost $100 and with tip, went over. I would definitely not go back.
