The breading on the fish was light and crispy and the shrimp and oysters were surprisingly fresh. I also loved the hush puppy that came on the side. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone in the valley looking for affordable fresh seafood!

Tienen especiales en la hora de lonche y su consomé esta lleno de trozos de pescado y camarones. Eso si, cuidado con la salsita de habanero que esa sí que pica. El servicio siempre ha sido excelente y si tienes suerte hasta hay mariachi en los fines de semana. Así que si te gustan los mariscos, ven y disfruta de un cóctel de camarones o unos filetes de pescado. No te vas a arrepentir. Y no te olvides de probar su limonada con pepino! Posdata: El domingo pasado mis padres fueron a disfrutar de unos especiales de lonche. Mi mamá, como siempre, no se acabó los 3 filetes que vienen con la orden pues se llenó con el caldo. Pidió una cajita para llevárselos pero se le olvidó llevársela y la dejó sobre la mesa. En rumbo a casa se dieron cuenta y regresaron al restaurante. Mi papá se bajó a preguntar por la caja y la mesera le informó que la acababa de tirar a la basura. Entendemos que no pueden guardar comida por horas, pero ellos regresaron en cuanto se dieron cuenta en el camino a casa (tampoco vivimos lejos de allí). Solamente lo incluyó como una sugerencia que por favor esperen un poquito antes de botar a la basura un contenedor para llevar por si el cliente regresa por la comida que ya pagó. Gracias.

They were also out of the bacon-wrapped scallops we came specifically to try. But the worst part? The bathroom was absolutely disgusting. There was used toilet paper with feces on it facing up in the stall -- completely unacceptable and made me question the hygiene standards of the entire place. This was not worth the money or the time. I hope management steps up and makes serious improvements. I won't be returning unless I hear things have changed.

The Shrimp Boil, fried oysters, and Oysters Rockefeller were good but could use a bit more attention to seasoning. The oysters Rockefeller did try to get a smoke flavor but fell short on the size of the oysters. Fried shrimp and chicken were on the dry side. I also tried the ribeye. The ribeye 1/2" cut (?) was a bit on the chewy side and a little dry. Seafood gumbo did not impress me much. Visually, I could see it needed spices. I added some of the seafood boil sauce and it tasted better Corn on the Cobb was GREAT, so was the boiled crab legs were also GREAT! Lots of patrons on Sunday. I think this place has a lot of potential and if they work on a unique seasoning, they will be a great place to dine! The service was good.

Because of the World Cup taking place, most of the sales were take-out. So I had my choice of tables. There are booths down one wall, half booths on the other, and normal tables and chairs in the middle. I found myself admiring the calm and classy decorations. I was welcomed as I entered, and the server assigned to my table did an extraordinary job with friendly, efficient and professional service. He was fully bilingual, so we switched between English and Spanish effortlessly. There are many delicious sounding options on the menu: standards like the Tampiqueño, chile rellenos, sundry tacos, fajitas, several enchilada varieties, soups like the caldo Tlalpeño, botana platters and more. I ordered the Fajita Panchos Deluxe which is like a botana platter for one. I loved it, and the chef even arranged the food beautifully. I could not eat it all, so the server offered a to-go box and I enjoyed the rest for lunch the next day. He also offered a cup to take the rest of my limonada (made with sparkling mineral water). I will definitely be back. I'd like to try their breakfast deals. They offer chilaquiles, which is one of my favorites. El Jardin has an elegant but casual vibe, great for families, business lunches, gathering with friends, or even a date night. I recommend them.
