I don't know who some of these other reviewers are, but I have lived around the corner from the restraurant for years and have always found the food to be authentic and fantastic....

How this place could possibly pass as a winner is beyond me. I've tried it 3 different times/ different seasons and each time the food is uneatable. Truly disgusting and gross. ...

Awesome food! 1/26/2007

I don't know who some of these other reviewers are, but I have lived around the corner from the restraurant for years and have always found the food to be authentic and fantastic. The margaritas are potent and the service is always fast. more

Quite Possibly the worst meal I have ever had! 8/17/2006

The food was absolutely terrible. I got the Jardin combination and the meat was disgusting, if you can even call it meat. After taking 3 bites I wanted to immediately purge in their bathroom, but figured they would probably scoop it up and serve it to the next customer. Do not go there for any reason other than drinking. Cons: Food, Serve Cat & Dog meat, Overpriced more

Best Guacomole 2/25/2006

There are two- a restraunt and a cafe about half a block away from eachother. I'd recommend the cafe for before a cubs game, but the restraunt for a saturday night. A little expensive, but worth it. Great Margaritas....and the guacmole is the best in chicago. more

Good Place For Real Mexican Food Lovers 7/25/2005

I had the pleasure of dining here June 11th for a friends B-Day. We sat outside on the patio and dined. The food and drinks were great. The prices were reasonable. If you get a chance check them out. It's worth it. The only con was the waitress questioned her tip % which was only 30 cent less then what the gratuity was but otherwise. I'll give it four stars****;JYS Pros: Great Food, Great Prices Cons: Parking more

Yuck!!!!! 11/6/2003

I've been to El Jardin twice, & in both instances the food was gross! Service was pretty fast, but I had a hard time holding the food down. I've tried their enchiladas & chicken tacos (gross!). I don't know who El Jardin had to pay to get #1 on this list...cause the food is terrible. Avoid at all costs when taking a trip to Wrigleyville!!!! Pros: Service was decent Cons: The food!!! more

UGGH! 9/24/2003

How this place could possibly pass as a winner is beyond me. I've tried it 3 different times/ different seasons and each time the food is uneatable. Truly disgusting and gross. Chicken doesn't even look like chicken! And the myster meat that goes in the burritos is scary. You have to order premium margaritas otherwise the bar puts in reject tequilla. This place is a definate PASS more

NO THANKS!!! 8/10/2002

The only thing this place has going for it, is the location. I have heard the margaritas are really strong. Maybe by the time customers get their food, they are too wasted to know what really great Mexican food tastes like. Yuck!!!! more
