If you want authentic and fresh Mexican food, this is the place to be! You will not be disappointed! Whenever I'm in the area, I have to grab one of my favorite beef birria, al pastor tacos, and a horchata to wash it all down. ? ? ?

Arguably the most authentic Mexican restaurant in North Jersey. Both the regular and birria tacos are amongst the best in the state, and likely in the tri-state area as a whole. The owners also seem to really care and show pride in their business. There is a lot of phony "Mexican" restaurants that don't have authentic Mexican food, but I can assure you that this place is as authentic as it gets-- I am EXTREMELY picky with my Mexican foods, and this one passes the tests with flying colors. Highly recommended.
After my experience at El Jardin this Saturday 2/24/24 I will never return. The Shrimp tacos were extremely salty. The lady in the front with green eyes had an attitude upon my arrival. I returned inside of the restaurant to ask them for a new batch, giving them the benefit of the doubt; I told them it may be possible their hand slipped when seasoning the tacos. They told me it wouldn't be possible because I already "bit into the taco" ....... How would I know how the food tasted? (The man in the front also inspected my food without any gloves and tried to return it to me. "Do you still want them?" He asked. I took a photo of the food after he dismantled it.) Anywho... they said a refund wouldn't be possible that they could however make a new batch but they would have to charge me all over again. Overall nasty customer service and behavior from the staff. Come to the restaurant if you'd like High blood pressure and DISGUSTING customer service. (Food photographed: shrimp tacos.)

When I came to the store, it was filthy, but whatever. I wanted to speak to an employee because I ordered two things of tacos, beef eggroll, and elotes. I only received my tacos, and instead of acknowledging their mistake they just insisted I handle it through Uber Eats to get the refund instead of giving me the items. Poor, lazy customer service.

I’ve been searching for a place to order Birria tacos and this is the spot. I’ve ordered from this place twice. The Birria tacos (beef & chicken) are delicious. The elotes are tasty as well. I also can’t forget about the Flan it’s one of my favorite deserts. Items are affordably priced and I look forward to trying other items on the menu.

Best birria tacos I've ever had. The flavor is good, the meat is tender. The portion size is generous.

Best birria tacos, and they provide free chips and salsaReasonable price and good food what is better than
I have never had Birria Ramen before and now I’m craving it! This spot is so authentic and the dishes are PACKED with flavor. I can taste the cilantro as I type. Gotta try their Birria pizza, Birria nachos + Birria tacos too. The cokes are from Mexico and hit different. Staff was so friendly. Everything was fresh and served hot. Do yourself a favor and find out with this is so highly rated on all the delivery apps!

It definitely helps to speak Spanish. Service was friendly though despite the language barrier. My only comment would be that they put mandatory gratuity for a party of 2 before we were even seated and they tried to charge us for to-go containers. I've ordered take-out online and never had to pay extra for containers. Ambiance is cute, nicely decorated and clean. Food is what keeps me coming back! So so good! Birria tacos are ON POINT!!

This place has the best birra tacos I’ve ever had. It’s also one of the few that actually have them in something other than beef and I love that for me. I can’t say anything bad about this place. The tacos are amazing.

TERRIBLE PLACE!!! Went there for some tacos. Walked in and it was empty. Ordered two orders of tacos, one of al pastor and de bistek and also una torta de pollo de milanesa that was suppose to be spicy. I ordered the Al pastor cause it was on the cheaper side, the menu said either $12 or $13 can't remember exactly. Point is we waited about 35-40 mins to get our food and we were the only ones there. We get the food and the salsa and it wasn't even spicy. The food was 4/5 out of 10. The waiter did not give us napkins, service was terrible. We ordered our check and it showed the Al pastor tacos were $19!!! Like what?!?! Insane price when the menu had a whole different price. I went up to the waiter and obviously said something about it and they were like we haven't updated our prices on our menu... and would not honor the price. Like whose fault is that? Not mine. Theirs. This place is terrible. I do not recommend. Our total was $67 and gratuity was included already. NOT WORTH THE PRICE BECAUSE THE FOOD WAS MEDIOCRE AND THE SERVICE WAS TERRIBLE. Would never come back and would not recommend this place. I should have just gone to Brenda Lee that has better tacos and cheaper prices.
