    TACOS DE CARNITAS  BIRRIA PORK EGG ROLL
    Jacqueline R.

    First and foremost Tacos are excellent. Secondly, the pork egg roll was not what I expected. It was way better. The beans are the best I've had in a restaurant in quite some time and lastly my Jamaica was absolutely delicious. I have to come back for the Birria Ramen. Yes, you read right, Birria Ramen.

    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!!

    I'm a little embarrassed to say that I have ordered via DoorDash too many times to count! However that's because the food is very good! The beef Birria and chicken Birria are both very good- but I like the beef more! So flavorful! The (elotes) seasoned corn on the cob is very good! The guacamole is delicious and fresh! I will continue to order because they have somewhat late hours and the Birria is some of the best I've tasted!

    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!

    These are the Best Birria tacos! Pricing is a bit high. Only did takeout. 8oz rice $5 ridiculous.

    LORD HAVE MERCY I WAS RESURRECTED BY THIS FOOD My friend heard good stuff from this place bc his coworker recommended and said it's up to par with legitimate tacos from MX. So of course...WE HAD TO TRY! Driving there is a WEE bit sketchy and you have to circle around for street parking but not terribly hard to find. Walking in around 8 it wasn't packed but I assume they get A LOT of takeout orders bc people were coming in and picking up. We placed our order at the cashier and they brought all our food out to us. WARNING: bc they do get a lot of takeout orders and people were coming in throughout the night to sit and eat, pls be patient for your heavenly food bc it does take a bit of time than regular taco places. FOOD ORDERED Chicken Tacos and Birria Tacos - phenomenal. Came in a hard shell but not the ones that just collapse in your hand. It is soft enough to keep all the meat in the shell. We dipped both of them In our soup that it came with and it was DELICIOUS. 1 order comes with 4 and that was good enough for this gal. Chips and guac- ordered for the table. Heavy on the onion but I loved it. We finished the WHOLE tub. Chips was salted beautiful and fresh. Drinks ordered were the tamarind sodas which my friends loved but I actually got a fresh watermelon juice that I saw another customer order. I loved it but my friends said it was heavy on the sugar. I'm sure you can ask them to do a bit less ALL IN ALL: GO HERE!! **Advice: Call 30-45 ahead, order takeout and eat it at one of the tables. Will save you some time waiting at the tables for your food*** By the end of the night this place was packed so come early and hungry! TA TA!

    I told myself I wouldn't come back after having a rude encounter with one of the employees that served me a shrimp ramen bowl topped with beef & argued with me that it wasn't- despite me showing him the bits of shrimp throughout the noodles & telling him I was allergic. I decided to visit one of my favorite birria spots one LAST TIME. & dammit idk, this was better than any of the tacos I've had from here. The prices have definitely increased since then & idk if it's still worth going 35-40 mins out my way for. If you can't make it yourself & you're in the area, definitely come out. The refrescas are my favorite!!! I love the watermelon, melon, & pineapple!!! Don't bother picking soda or any other drink but this. We also tried the egg roll, but I wouldn't do it again. It was too much for nothing lmao- not enough crunch.

    No information whatsoever.

    Had this door dashed lastnight, took over an hour. (Delivery went fast it was this place that seemed busy) anyway, one bag came, just tied not even sealed..I'll start off by saying we were missing an entire dinner! They did not include the chicken ramen, pretty upset about this and that they sent a silly receipt so I can't even see if they forgot it or the Uber eats stole it.. pretty inconveniencing when someone's whole dinner is not sent. And once delivered the restaurant was closed so I couldn't even call them. Anyway. We got the birritta tacos (4 count) and 2 with chicken and beef, We ordered cheese and got a shrimp instead.. another not so fun error when you don't eat shrimp!!!!!! Us and friends won't order from here again, seeing as so many errors was made .. when you order food, especially later at night you expect to get At least get half of it correctly. disappointed.

    So happy to find a place doing great birria tacos close to home rather than NYC where I'm not going quite as often now. Ordered over the phone and picked up. Service was very sweet. The space is very nice and cutely decorated. Tacos were really good! Overstuffed but not falling out of the crispy tortillas. Green sauce on the side was tasty but not too spicy and the consommé had a very deep, beefy flavor. Elote was a full corn cob topped with Mayo, salty cheese and spices. Definitely coming back and looking to try the ramen.

    I decided to visit el Jardin because I saw a friend post about it on their Instagram. Since I came during COVID, I decided get my order to go but I believe they did have indoor dining. I ordered the beef birria taco and the chicken birria tacos. The birria tacos were soo good and it also came with a consomme that you dip the tacos in. The wait is around 30 mins for the birria tacos but there is a parking lot close by so you can park and wait there. Each order of the Birria tacos costs 13 dollars which includes 4 tacos and the consommé. I recommend calling ahead to place your order for pick up. I will be returning to try the noodles because they look so good.

    Packaged nicely...and they are right, best birria tacos!
    Kristyna G.

    First...only 4 stars because I did not dine in and had a 3rd party delivery service pick up and deliver to my hotel so I cannot review the restaurant or service. However...the birria tacos I ordered are 5 star. So good! I ordered the beef. You get 4 tacos, consume and two salsas, a red and a green. All are fantastic. The beef is soooooo tender none of the meat pulls out when you bite into it. Seriously delicious. You can order extra neat but you don't need it. The tacos are packed with plenty of meat, nice amount of cheese, onion and cilantro. You can also order e tra crispy. I opted to get them as is. Pricing is good but of course through Ubereats it's a bit more. I highly recommend this place. If I were here longer I'd definitely want to try more of the menu or dine it. Give them a shot, you for sure won't be disappointed by the tacos.

Guy seemed overwhelmed and reluctantly took my order. I showed up 30 min later and no one had any record of my order. I recognized the guy's voice and told him he took my order. He was pissed and got into a shouting match with me with 3 other customers around. He eventually apologized and offered a free side of meatballs and spaghetti (don't order that btw, super underwhelming). 2nd time: Wife placed an order for a pie with half pepperoni on their website. Came back with the order and the pie had full toppings. Small nit but annoying. 3rd time: I called at 6pm on a Thursday. No one picked up. Opted to place order on their website and got the same item as last time. Showed up at and the same miserable guy asked for my name and order... and then said he didn't have any order. I told him I placed an order on the website... and he said "You should have called." with an awful (only a mother can love) grin. I showed him my email confirming 6:20pm pickup time and he said he had no order... before pulling a pie with my name on it. I asked if it had half pepperoni and it didn't. Full toppings AGAIN. Clearly, their website is not equipped to actually take half toppings orders. Pizza is OK but not worth the headache or poor service here.

I love a slice of pizza that has the crunchy bottom and the pepperoni is charred and cupped. Their white slice is good too. If you want that crunch but not too crunchy come here for a late night slice. They have pastas and sandwiches but never had it. Maybe one day. Pros: - Quick and friendly service - Crunch bottom pizza slices for those who love eating it this way - Opens late on the weekends until 2am - Want coffee?? Dunkin is next door but they close a lot earlier than here Cons: - Limited seating area - Small parking lot but late night there's always a spot Come check them out for a late night slice!

To start,…read morethey bring out some ciabatta (?) bread, which was crusty on the outside but soft on the inside. For food, we decided to order a bunch of things to share: -Zucchini fritte (with lemon aioli dipping sauce) - this was thin and perfectly crispy but somehow not oily. It was addicting -Arancini - these were okay. Could have used more meat -Margherita pizza - can't go wrong with a margherita. I do wish the actual crust was thinner -Meatball & Co pizza (meatballs, sweet sausage, cherry peppers, tomato sauce, mozzarella & ricotta cheese) - same with the crust situation. The description also said cherry peppers but they also added jalapenos, which is not a big deal - just a call out. The sausage was alright -Seafood fra Diavolo (sauteed clams, calarami, mussels, spicy tomato sauce) - sauce could have used a bit more spice. They don't skimp on the seafood though. I was pleasantly surprised by the calamari, which can taste rubberband-y but that wasn't the case here -Tiramisu - tasted fridgey/supermarket-bought -Affogato - a nice way to end the meal. Made me wonder why I don't make more affogatos at home Overall, it the meal was fine. Is it something I'd crave for? I don't think so. Well, maybe except that zucchini fritte. I wouldn't mind ordering that again. Tip - BYOB (there's a liquor store across the street)

The restaurant is casual, has music playing and an open dining room. There were a lot of families with young kids on a Saturday night. The wait staff was attentive and pleasant. We started with "ma's meatballs, which were good. I especially liked the sauce. I got the seafood Fra Diavolo over spaghetti which was very good. All the seafood was fresh and I only left the shells. My date got the chicken Romano, which was served with a spicy rigatoni vodka and burrata. Her dish was so good and a very generous portion. I also loved that it was a BYO - seems like there are less and less of these type of restaurants these days. I will definitely go back to try some of the other appetizers and entrees. Go check it out!

We ordered via telephone and picked our items up and brought them home. The main event was the meatball parm sandwich. The best meatball parm sandwich I have had. Meatballs were fresh and perfectly seasoned. Not the usual "hard meatballs" you get from a pizza place. Sauce was plentiful and had a great kick to it. Add to it the perfect sound of mozzarella and a sprinkle of parmesan. Absolutely out of this world. The bread, which can ruin a great sandwich, was equally as good. Perfect crisp to the Italian bread. And yes, it was consistent. We ordered 3 meatball sandwiches and 1 sausage sandwich and EVERYONE commented on the bread as well. We also got a Brooklyn Pie. The pie wasn't my speed. A little doughy but I would like to try a traditional round. Again, not my style and we went solely for the meatballs but grabbed a pie as an extra. If you're in the area, you have to try it. If you're an hour away, you still have to try it.

The sausage slice was really good and the sausage didn't seem like your typical frozen sausage. The Sicilian was also really solid. If I'm in the area I will stop by to try other topping slices.
