This place is awesome! Amazing servers and staff all around! The food was amazing and not too expensive! Dad and I went to Hamilton for father's day weekend and went here for dinner. The ambience was amazing and felt like home! We ordered our food 5 minutes after getting there and they came out with the food in less than 15! So fun highly recommend to all 10/10 everyone should go here! read more

The food is great,I come here everytime I am down visiting my family.it is the best Mexican restaurant.

We had a large group lunch here and the food was great and service by Gabby was exceptional. I had cheese enchiladas and my husband had shrimp tacos read more

Food was awful. Chips were hard. Salsa was okay. Chili tasted like it came from a can. I had fajita enchiladas--half gristle, couldn't finish it. Service was fine. Poor girl looked to be in high school. She did great. Ambiance? Kitschy. You'd do about as well stopping at a convenience store and grabbing a burrito. read more

Haven't eaten here in a while. Still good. I think we got the same thing a year ago. And they play music now. read more

Use to be my favorite place they have gone downhill big time portions are tiny chip baskets are tiny and have to be refilled over and over they don't have condiments on the table and they are open at their convenience haven't been in a long time because of this !!! read more

Stopped here for the first time today while on a road trip. The food was ok - the salsa and chips are average as were the beef enchiladas and sides. What set this place at four stars for me was that the service was excellent and friendly. Thank you, small-town Texas. The prices, too, were extremely reasonable on the lunch specials. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here again but I wouldn't be mad if I did. read more

El Jardin - Enchiladas! - Mexican Near Me - Hamilton, Texas

Decided to stop here off 281. Glad we did. Jay our server did a great job. We need more Jays in the industry. Tex mex cheese enchiladas were great. Overall, a great place to eat. read more

Delicious, reasonable, and great staff! We eat here every time we are coming through Hamilton!

Great food and great service....fish tacos are delicious! Green sauce is yummy. Owners are dedicated to a great dining experience. Beer is cold! read more

Authentic and delicious! A wonderful place to come into town for. The chips are crispy & thin and the just-made-salsa; a perfect start. I dined on the beef burrito and chicken chimichanga; part of their many choices for the combo meal. Both were fresh and tasty with tender meat inside and topped with delicious, homemade sauces. My friends, who I accompanied (Biil & Janet), are "Regulars" here and it's easy to see why! In a town replete with a pretty good number of Mexican restaurants, this is the one to go to! Great food and great service too. They're military-friendly too...thanks and Semper Fi! El Jardin...thanks for making my visit to the exciting, yet peaceful town of Hamilton, TX even more memorable! read more

Good Tex Mex and margaritas. Food is always good and meals are served quickly. One of the best in the area.

Great Mexican food. Fresh salsa and guacamole. Recommend highly. Great staff. We will go again.

Good, traditional Tex-Mex food on the square in Hamilton, TX. Friendly service. Clean dining room. Solid chips & salsa. Piping hot food with nice portions. This was not our first visit, and we'll be back again! read more

Was passing through the area and stopped for a quick lunch. Great food and friendly service. Will be back.

Stopped by El Jardin while driving froM Austin to Ft Worth. I ordered fajitas and my husband ordered quesadillas. The fajitas were excellent. Perfectly seasoned. Both the chicken and steak were tender and delicious. Quesadillas were also terrific. The service was friendly and professional. The entire restaurant was full & we still had a great experience. I wish we had a Mexican restaurant of this quality in Georgetown. We will defiantly make the drive to come here again. read more

Lunch menu is a great value. Food was very good. Service was excellent. We will be back

Outstanding Food, Great Service... They Keep my Tea flowing! I've always preferred El Jardin locally, because the food is excellent, and great service! Although..... It would be nice to see Fox News on 'one' of the TV's... I'm sure some would object.. read more

The food is good but there's no atmosphere and people listen in and comment on your conversation. It's just weird. Needs music to create atmosphere. read more

Great service! Salsa was good, not the best...but still good. My dinner was fantastic-shrimp diablo. I'd definitely go again! read more

I don't eat in Hamilton often, but when I do, I eat at El Jardin. They are a friendly restaurant that has some good food! I ordered the Fajita Chimichanga and it was done really well. The queso wasn't great, but it was serviceable. Check this place out next time you're in Hamilton and let us know what you think! read more

3 Taco Plate with Queso under ten bucks - Perfect! Prompt and friendly service. It was delicious. Will be back!

Stopped on the way to San Antonio from Dallas. Good food, great customer service and great prices. The place is a little bit dark, but it isn't too bad. Everyone there was extremely friendly and welcoming. Great atmosphere. read more

What a wonderful find! The iced tea was perfect, not just colored water like most restaurants. The chips were super fresh , served warm with yummy salsa. The $6 taco and enchilada lunch special was really good and more than I could eat. Wish this place was in my neighborhood. read more

We ate here after a playoff basketball game...late, but they made our party of five welcome. They even gave the five year old an official waitresses' apron. I can't say enough about the service. And the food was wonderful! Excellent classic Tex-Mex. If we're back in Hamilton, I know where we'll eat! read more

We were passing through town. Stop by to get a quick bite. The fajita beef was awesome! Staff was very friendly! Only thing we didn't like was the queso. read more

I would definitely come here again. We stopped here after the state trooper who stopped us for speeding recommended it. (Don't speed on 281, but if you do be polite.) The fish tacos were surprisingly good. The salsa and chips were excellent. Don't miss the lovely family portraits on the walls, clear the chef was touched by the angels in these images as well. read more

The food is excellent. The staff is friendly, helpful, attentive, and engaging. The service is quick and efficient. The interior is clean and bright and colorfully decorated. Five stars all the way!!!! read more

Oasis in the middle of nowhere. Wanted place with kid friendly menu and noise level and it fit both. Burgers, chicken nuggets and other fare with Mexican food. Mexican food was quick to come out so assume mostly prepped. portions weren't huge but still decent and I got full on beef chile relleno. Wife had average taco salad but we all ate well. Enormous glasses made for all the tea or water the family could handle. Chips thick and fairly fresh with good salsa. Rice and beans what you'd expect from prepared but still good. Would definitely eat here again, though. read more

So good but the service was AMAZING!!! Very fast too and delicious. We will be going there now when we pass through Hamilton!

Really great place to eat! Food was brought out very quickly. The chips and salsa were delish! I ordered the cheese enchiladas, they weren't quite what I was expecting, but they were still good. The menu said they came with cheese and onions and covered in a chili sauce, they were just plain cheese and covered in a cheese sauce, which was ok. The charro beans were good too. Hubby ordered a half order beef quesadilla, the flour tortilla was homemade, the beef had excellent flavor and was very tender. It was a huge order for it being a "half-order"! Great place, I would recommend this place if you're driving through the area! read more

Excellent Food... Great Service... Although they are closed on Monday! They aren't open for breakfast... But, they serve great Beef Fajita's, and good flour tortillas! read more

This place is NASTY!!! NEVER AGAIN! new to the area and I have no idea how this place has high ratings. Nothing close to Mexican food. The Queso was velveeta melted. read more

My parents and I stopped here on the way out of town. The queso is literally velveeta melted. Gross. The quesadillas were disgusting and the flautas were poorly made. Also, the water tasted like dirt. So do not make a stop here. read more

This was a quick lunch after a Dr visit and an afterthought stop. In an old part of town in an old building, nice inside. Parking is rough at mealtimes but that is the cities fault not the restaurants. I had chili relleno. The rice and beans were excellent and the relleno was delicious. My wife had the taco and enchilada combo. Everything was delicious and​ service was great. The next time we stop here it won't be an accident. read more

Fabulous! On a road trip from Granbury to La Vernia and saw this place listed in Yelp. They could teach the restaurants in Granbury how to make spinach enchiladas! I highly recommend this place. read more

Great find in Hamilton on our back roads way back to Dallas. Big menu with a nice variety. My daughter loved the fish tacos, I had tacos all carbon with a mix of beef and chicken. Meat was diced and it was a very large portion (tortillas on the side. The place was packed but the service was excellent. read more

Nothing overly exciting here, but the food was good and the service was also spot on. We went around 3pm so it was very quiet which was a plus for us. They have an affordable lunch menu and their chips are very crispy. I'm giving 4 Stars though 3.5 would be my first choice. For a small town, this is certainly acceptable. read more
