This place stays packed, but it is worth the wait and their food is delicious and their service is pretty good. We don't have any complaints and we always come back.

Food is great, service is normally fast! My in-laws come here from out of state, and every time they do, they always grab dinner from this place.

Definitely recommend! This is our go to almost every Saturday night for dinner. My favorite is the chips and salsa but who doesn't like chips and salsa. Food is always fresh and delicious. We have probably eaten almost everything on the menu. Enjoy

The food is always good. The service is always good even when there is a wait. It's gotten louder over the years but it's always clean.

Didn't really have much flavor i had the fish tacos with garlic definitely wouldn't recommend this dish. The place was packed. It's doing something right I may have just not ordered. The correct thing inside was clean. Beautiful my dish was no Bueno.

My stomach was growling and El Jardin was in the parking lot where my stomach had growled. So I looked on Yelp. Saw El Jardin and thought why not. Sometimes I get tired of Mexican food, perro El Jardin i will never get tired of. El Jardin was so good I was thinking about going back right after I just left. Service is excellent. The food didn't really have that spice in my opinion. El Jardin definitely had that authentic good service tho. Their drinks are great. I recommend the Sidecar. I had a perfect time.

Great food! Friendly servers and clean restaurant. Everything we have tried has been filled with flavor. Definitely one of the top Mexican restaurants in the valley (and we have tried lots)! It is worth the drive for those not lucky enough to live close by.
We tried this restaurant yesterday 1/09/24 I had Chimichanga & my friend had the Fajitas... everything was delicious, staff was friendly and provided great service. Really cute inside, warm and comfortable. Only thing that wasn't the best was the rice - it was really dry but I would recommend.

My husband and I moved to Manteca a few months ago and we had no idea where to find great Mexican food. We looked at the ratings on Yelp and on Door Dash - El Jardin had the best ratings by far. We were not disappointed! I got crispy chicken tacos with beans and rice and that's become my go to! Their guacamole is fantastic, their salsa is fresh and I love the choice of chips!

Food was delicious, drinks were generous and our server was very attentive. Price is very affordable. This is our "go to" spot for lunch or dinner for Mexican food !!

El Jardin: A Blooming Marvel of Mexican Cuisine in Manteca, CA Ambiance: El Jardin is like a secret garden party, but with tacos. It's elegantly casual, like wearing a tuxedo T-shirt to a wedding. The decor whispers 'refined fiesta', with a touch of 'your abuela's loving kitchen'. Service: The staff treat you like royalty, but the kind you'd want to have a beer with. They're attentive, yet not overbearing - like a well-trained butler who knows just when to refill your margarita. Cuisine: The menu is a culinary canvas, painting flavors so vibrant, Picasso would eat his heart out. The guacamole is fresher than a prince from Bel-Air, and their mole sauce is so rich, it should have its own yacht. My favorite is the Chicken Taco Salad. Drinks: Their wine list is like a who's who of vineyard superstars. The cocktails? Imagine if your favorite drink went on a luxury vacation and came back with amazing stories. Price: It's like finding a designer dress at a thrift store price. You get the elegance without emptying your wallet - leaving enough for that extra round of churros. Overall: El Jardin is Manteca's answer to 'Where should we eat if we want to be fancy but also wear jeans?' It's a place where tacos meet tuxedos, and everyone's invited to the party. - 5/5 stars. A fiesta of flavors in a garden of culinary delights! El Jardin, you had me at 'hola'.
