This is a great hidden gem in Dunedin. You order at a window and sit outdoors. The patio looks very authentic Mexican jungle ish with beautiful plants all around. The service was very quick and efficient. Not a ton of English speaking servers but that's okay- we managed just fine. The broasted chicken was literally so moist and delicious. It had an amazing semi spicy favor. I also had the corn on the cobs and beans. Those beans...yummm!! Also topped it off with a sangria which I HIGHLY recommend. It was not busy at all but if you want an authentic meal in Dunedin without all the touristy crowds- this place is for you. read more

Jardin De Pollos - Sangria - Latin American Near Me - Dunedin, Florida

*I did not have the food, but I can speak to other things. First of all, parking is VERY limited. Fewer than 10 cars can park on site. But the main concern is the SLOW service. When we arrived, there were 10 people in front of us. We waited 20 minutes, and only one party in line had been helped. The restaurant has VERY limited staff; the same person was taking orders, waiting tables, AND making food. So they could only take one order every 10-15 minutes. I don't care how good the food is; we would have had to wait in line nearly an hour to get help, and THEN wait for our food on top of that. Until they can speed up the service, we will NOT be going back there. read more

Will Have to go back. 6pm on a Saturday they stopped serving as were out of food. So must be good. I just can't rate higher read more

Super busy place and parking is definitely a premium in this area. Once we found a spot I love the outdoor little garden area. We ordered empanadas (which are really large) both beef and chicken. The beef was much better than the chicken. The chicken just had an odd seasoning. They were also pretty greasy. The sauces though were not something I would try again. The one tasted like Thousand Island Dressing, the next a hot mustard and the last was very mayonnaise like. The sangria was very good and probably would have ordered another but the line here moves SUPER slow. I would come back but mostly to try the sides and it is hard to predict because they do selll out of things. read more

Excellent Latin American food in a outdoor garden type restaurant. I got the chicken rice and beans and corn. You order at the window and they serve when ready. Food was excellent. I would definitely go back. read more

The last three times I've been here they have made us wait 20 minutes in line to tell us they are out of chicken. It's ridiculous because the guy that works there is the only one that speaks English and he doesn't tell anyone they are running out of chicken and is constantly disappearing while everyone is waiting in line rather than communicating they are running out of chicken. Today I tried to talk to one of the ladies and she saw I was upset because they were almost out of chicken yet again at 7pm again and she couldn't talk with me because she couldn't understand me which is fine but I asked to speak to the other guy and she never got him to come out to us and he went back into the other house again. This is the worst customer service I've ever experienced. It's a shame because we love the food but I will not ever go back. 3 times in a row making me wait for nothing. read more

Came back to try it again and was impressed all over! Service was quick and food was served fresh. Plenty of outdoor seating and covering. Definitely try the empanadas and rotisserie chicken! So delicious. read more

Jardin De Pollos - Modelo - Latin American Near Me - Dunedin, Florida

After reading many positive comments, we decided to give this a try for dinner. There was a good crowd and a line to order at the window of about six parties. The food looked good as we observed servers bringing out various dishes to the diners. A couple of parties ahead of us placed their orders with a gentleman working the window. He then disappeared for a while with nobody taking his place. A few minutes later, we noticed he was tending to the chickens on the rotisseries. The line to order grew during this delay. Eventually, he returned to the window and stated they were very backed up and would not be taking any more orders for at least an hour. This was disappointing, especially after waiting in line for 20+ minutes. Everyone in line dispersed, trying to figure out somewhere else for dinner. We figured we would try this place out, perhaps for a weekday lunch, assuming they will not be as busy and overwhelmed. We may still do that, but noticed here on Yelp that their health inspections are less than stellar, the most recent being on 3/26/26 and requiring a reinspection. Accordingly, we may delay our visit, but would still like to give this a try. read more

Jadin de Pollos is a whole vibe. Loved the casual atmosphere with friendly staff. There seemed to be a bit of a language barrier when ordering food but it is manageable. Food was delicious, especially the plantain. Chicken had good flavor, just not a lot of it. Whatever the fruit drink I ordered was yummy and cold. Overall, I enjoyed my meal. It has an artistry shop attached so you can buy some Bolivian art. Don't let the construction in front deter you as it is temporary. read more

Casual ambiance... lots of outdoor seating and fun Latin music playing in the background. Walking distance from downtown Dunedin! They specialize in chicken and mine was amazing. You can order a partial or full chicken. I got 1/4 chicken with plantains and rice! The price wasn't bad either ... my total was $17 with a soda. Friendly staff, too. ¡Muy bien! read more

Had a chance to visit this place, the place it self is pretty cool, open with different tables where you can definitely enjoy a nice night out. The people and staff were super friendly. I would say though the food was not as good as I expected, the chicken was on the dry side and lacked seasoning. I also had the empanadas and rice and beans, and must say the feedback was the same. Not very flavorful. For dessert I tried the flan and it just wasn't something I would recommend, specially if you onow flan. It was definitely disappointing because this felt like such a cool place. I think I would give it another shot because I really liked the service there. read more

Great lunch at this local gem #jardindepollos in Dunedin. The chicken was moist and perfectly cooked. I liked that they served it with sides of two creamy dipping sauces: one mild and one spicy. Delicious The fried yucca was tasty. And I loved the bite I had of my husband's cheese empanada. Both of these were perfectly crispy. And our sides of beans and corn were good too. The outdoor oasis ambience and cheerful service made for a fantastic meal especially on another beautiful day in the #tampabay #yelptampabay And my friend said next time we need to try their Homemade Sangria read more

The food was fresh, sangria was authentic, and juice was delicious. Prices were cheap compared to the quality of great food you get. Will 100% visit again when we are in the area. Great vibe read more

I went with the dark chicken and wow... it tasted just right. Juicy, seasoned to perfection, and packed with flavor. Honestly, all I was missing was my favorite pair of jeans and a cold one to make it the ultimate comfort moment. The beef empanada was another standout--so juicy and bursting with flavor. Winner winner for a quick bite to eat! Service was fast, and that dark chicken flavor? Yummmmm! read more

Great outdoor mostly covered garden seating nestled on the outskirts of downtown Dunedin - open and inviting to catch a breeze or two. Good BBQ chicken(their focus with numerous options), ribs, grilled steak and wonderful empanadas which are perfectly crispy with stuffing, like the beef one I had, that is juicy, savory and delicious with value pricing at $4 each. Great relaxing place for a beer and good food when the weather is good read more

What took me so long to discover Jardin De Pollo?! Maybe it was the traffic circle that makes it more visible, but Jardin will be my new go-to place for me and for my guests. The food is outstanding (from the delicious bbq chicken to the thoughtful and tasty sides). The prices are reasonable, you could even say cheap. That goes for the beers and sangria as well. Charming service in a tropical setting with great music playing. I was transported (after too many high-priced mediocre meals)! read more

I come here once a week. The chicken is amazing. The bowls are fantastic too but you better come with an empty stomach. Sweet plantains are another favorite of mine. read more

The food was delicious and the service excellent. The rotisserie chicken and the plantains were marvelous love the atmosphere.

We feel like we found a new local gem. Jardin has been around for a couple of years but we just discovered it for the first time. Granted, we don't go out as much as we used to. But when we do, we take extra care to find something we feel could be special and that's exactly how it turned out last night. The first thing we noticed when we walked in to the patio from the back parking lot, was the lively latin music and abundance of outdoor seating. Surrounded by tropical plants, it felt like you'd been transported to a South American country while somehow still being in Clearwater, FL. We both had their Carne Asada and it was absolutely delicious. The beef was so tender I asked the friendly chef, Orlando, how long it was marinated. His answer really surprised me: it wasn't! His big secret is that the beef cut he uses is ribeye and all he does and salt and pepper it. That shocked me because we eat ribeye a lot and love it, but his just seemed uniquely tender. Maybe it was the delectable plantains or their perfectly salted yucca fries. The whole meal was perfect and we are definitely returning! read more

Quick lunch with a friend. This place has been consistently good. We tried three different empanadas. All were great, but the chicken and beef were my favorites. The chicken empanada had so much flavor with bursts of delicious green olives and capers. The beef had great flavor but still stayed true to the beef which I was pleased with. In my experience a lot of beef empanadas have a sloppy Joe like filling this one wasn't sweet like that. It was just really well seasoned beef and vegetables. The pork was good but not my favorite as it was BBQ pork and I just wasn't expecting that. Love exploring this new to me menu. read more

Jardin De Pollo has the cutest courtyard area. It's definitely a win. They serve roasted chicken, and Latin sides such as sweet plantains, tostones, and empanadas. They also have steak and salads, & desserts. From what it appeared, the chicken is their specialty especially since the name of their business is the Garden of Chicken. We definitely had to get their chicken. We found this chicken to be dry and smoky. I added a lot of sauces to dip. It was not juicy either which I love when chicken is juicy. It's a nice place for lunch stop if you have a taste for chicken in a cute garden setting. Unfortunately, we didn't love it which I wish we did. People working are nice. It appears to be limited English speaking so just make sure to point to what you want to eat and smile! read more

Very nice outdoor restaurant. Shaded enough to feel cool under the FL heat. Small screened seating area available also but most seating is open air. Order first, given a table number and pay after you finish eating. Very friendly and fast service. The food was freshly made and had great flavor! A whole chicken comes with 4 sides and was enough for 3 adults (1 male/2 females). Refreshing passion fruit juice that was not too sweet, just how I liked it! read more

Always deliciously cooked chicken and sides. Always feel welcome,friendly staff such nice people. Nice music and homey atmosphere. Come out and support local especially with the construction on Skinner! Love this place read more

Incredibly good chicken and empanadas! It's all I can comment on, because that's all I've tried so far but all I can say is WOW! Probably the best smoked chicken I've ever had. Cooked in a smoker with an open flame it is delicious and succulent. The chicken empanada was the best I've ever had. No place air conditioned to eat inside but outside seating is semi-covered with fans to help with the heat. I'll stick with takeout until the cool weather arrive. Give this place a try and you won't be sorry! read more

We loved this place! Excellent food with a fun, outdoor vibe. Definitely recommend! It's hard to get to because of construction, but worth the effort. We will be back. read more

One of the BEST Rotisserie Chicken I've had. Went with my mother; we're Latinas who love to cook and eat, so we are a tough critics when it comes our cultures dishes and flavors - Jardin did not disappoint! Their yucca frita and homemade hot sauces are on fire and their sangria is just the right amount of fruity and boozy. We loved their food so much we ended up buying a second chicken and sides to take home for the week. We Highly recommend and will be back! read more

Delicious! We stopped in today to look at the furniture for sale. It's beautiful and very well made. Will be back to purchase some porch chairs and tables. We were shown how the chicken was cooked. We left but couldn't get the great smelling food out of our minds. We went back and got the chicken dinners to go. The fried yucas is amazing and the sauces are fantastic! read more

I'm visiting from California and saw the yelp reviews, I had to try it out. The food was delicious! You must try the Sangria!

We have passed this place a dozen times and finally we stopped in to eat lunch, boy am I glad we did! If I could give it more than five stars, I would. It deserves 10 stars! This Bolivian restaurant is amazing you feel like you are literally in South America. It is beautiful. The ambience is amazing, shady plants everywhere, it's so authentic! When you walk up, the smell of the food is mouthwatering! The owner Mark told us his story and even showed us the chicken in the smoker. The cook is from Columbia, when I say, this place is authentic it's 100%! I had empanadas which were gigantic! My husband had the half chicken. We even returned later the same day to get takeout to take to our small group because it just happened to be international night. For takeout we got sweet plantains which were to die for, they were so yummy and the yucca fries. The owner also makes teak furniture (Boonedocks Furniture- on the same property) which is beautiful teak furniture you'll see and eat on in the restaurant. It's gorgeous and wears so well! There's a screened in porch with a fan where you can eat in bad weather days and don't forget to shop! The handcrafted South American treasures are beautiful. read more

Chicken was delicious, atmosphere immaculate. A little pricey, but so good. Get the green sauce

What a cool place that kind of looks like a garden nursery or landscape business from the outside. It's just a couple blocks off the perimeter of downtown Denedin. They offer fresh , smoked chicken with South American sides ( rice. Plantains Beans , sweet potatoes). Everything was delicious but the ambience makes it extra special . The seating is 100% outdoors but protected and intimate because of pergolas and vines and lots of greenery . The owner runs the smoker but he also carved wood and made the furniture and all of the beautiful carved tikis and poles . It's a beautiful oasis and there is a lovely artist studio on property with gorgeous mobiles . read more
