Vegan Mexican food in Oakdale!…read more Cocina Michoacana in Oakdale is not only a restaurant I repeatedly visit but also a spot I regularly recommend. In 2018 they added a dedicated "Vegan & Vegetarian Menu" alongside their traditional menu. Regardless of how many times I come back, I have to order the taquitos and I cannot stress enough that you HAVE to order the vegan bean dip appetizer. Whether you go standard or skillet style, both are delicious, and you won't miss a thing! Visit my blog at Yourneighborhoodvegan.com and on social media @yourneighborhoodvegan for more! Cocina Michoacana is also home to the "Mega Margarita," a 32-ounce frozen margarita available in several flavors. They often run happy hours and drink specials, making it a great place to stop for after-work drinks and shareable apps. They also have a dog-friendly patio that is shaded and perfect for group dining.

I had chile verde combo with a poblano chili filled with barbacoa. Great great great!! The chile verde was so vibrant in flavor and I cannot figure out how they did it. Yucca salad and Rosarita tacos also were ordered and were amazing. Our waiter,Tyler, was excellent and the gal that was managing was very helpful and attentive to our needs along with the whole restaurant. All wait staff were very professional and genuinely welcomed our party of 6. Great atmosphere with separate dining areas each with a dedicated big screen TV with sports playing yet the restaurant was quiet and very relaxing. I sure wish I lived closer to Oakdale. I'd be there three times a week. We will visit every time we are in Oakdale or on our way and back to Pinecrest. Worth a visit and bring your appetite as the portions are large. Great job team!

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!
