Review #966 Posted on 12.12.25…read more We came here last Sunday the 7th for some breakfast burritos before our daughters game at River Islands fields. This spot is located right off of highway 5, Lathrop Road exit, then in the same parking lot as the grocery store there. They made the burritos nice and fresh, and the timing was ok. We ordered by phone while we were getting gas at Costco about 5 minutes away, then came to pick them up. I like the taste of the burrito with meat, not too much eggs, & the breakfast style had potatoes in it too. Would for sure order those again in the future.

Randomly found this place and I am so glad I did! Me and my friend had originally planned to try…read moreand place in Manteca but when we arrived we had second thoughts so instead I looked on yelp to try and see the reviews but they had no yelp and this place came up in my search it looked cute enough and had decent reviews so we thought let's give it a try we were only 11 minutes away. Don't let the parking lot which is terrible or the outside deter you because inside this place is sooo cute! The vibe does not match the outside lol they really did something here! Lots of cute lighting and greenery and natural woods. The host was nice and the service was good as well nothing exceptional but not bad in any way. Now Down to the important stuff the food and drinks! The menu is on the smaller side but they have good options. We ordered the guacamole which we rated 5/5 go amount of salt and nice flavor it tasted really fresh. El don infusion and a black berry margarita for drinks 5/5 no notes both were very good We each ordered the 3 taco plate I got the steak 5/5, pollo al pastor 3/5 and the birria 4/5 My friend got the steak 5/5, the birria 4/5 and the carnitas 2.5/5 the chicken and carnitas were still good just nothing amazing they were both just ok. The steak was very tasty and tender which is a big deal a lot of times it can be over cooked and tough. The birria was good only complaint we had was we both had a lot of fat in our tacos we had to take out to eat them but the flavor was there had a nice spice without being overly spicy. The chips and salsa were also amazing we both loved the Smokey flavor of the salsa. Overall we had a great experience here and if I ever happen to be in the area again I would definitely come back.

Then in the middle of our meal they played a birthday song for two of the tables at full blast (I enjoy EDM concerts but this was just stupid loud for a restaurant!!). The lyrics included the phrase "What the Fuck!!" Who was the moron who that song would be a good idea?!? To add insult to injury, the bill was wrong!

So we have decided to stop by. Great menu and options this location has! TVs, full bar and tons of food and drink options! I got the Breakfast Molcajete is BOMB! This is full of flavor and meat options! But what got me was the tortilla chips, chewy and soaked with the enchilada sauce! Oh I never knew I needed this! We stopped by again the next week coming back through Lathrop! This is a great Mexican food spot when it's too hot to eat outside! The service was wonderful and friendly. Stopped by the table at all the right times for refills and requests. Will be back again!

Everything feels more warm, welcoming, and put-together. You can tell that the staff really cares about the experience they're creating for their customers. The food and drinks were delicious.

Customer service like that goes a long way. If you're in Manteca and want top-tier tacos, don't waste time anywhere else. This place sets the standard. I'm here atleast a couple times a week.

I ordered a chicken torta which in my opinion is now gonna be a go to for me when I'm in Manteca. The chips and salsa were fresh and very good. This is a family friendly restaurant and the decor inside is very nice . If you'd like to have a drink with your meal they have a full bar set up and if I wasn't driving , a margarita would've been a perfect match with my torta ... Definitely a revisit by me will happen and I will pass this on to friends and family that will and are in the area.

The front counter lady said it would have to be an extra cost for a couple of slices of lemons or limes.....I asked her to run that be me again. She said it will coast extra for slices of limes or lemon. She said that Is their rule...it blew my mind That asked for limes for Mexican Food At charge . That was Greed and lacked any customer Satisfaction for 2 slices of lemon or lime. It is common practice that all Mexican Latino restaurants, taquerias, That serve Mexican food will Not charge for 2 slices of lemon or lime Cmon el Jardin you lost a good customer Over charging for lime slices...unbelievable It's the point of them just being greedy . Also on all Honesty el jardin manteca is priced way over the top for average Mexican food. !

On our visit they were only taking cash -luckily we had enough on us as the prices were very reasonable & portions huge! My hubby had the gigantic Chili relleno burrito with Carne asada & fresh veggies; i had the Huevos Mexicana with the very savory sauce on top that was not that spicy/perfect for my taste. I was pleasantly surprised with the homemade corn tortillas and homemade chips & salsa that came with our meals. Very clear that this place is frequented by a steady stream of regulars stopping by for take out, or sitting down for Menudo or Birria tacos. Highly recommend this place if you are hungry because of the large filling portions, quality & well prepared food at a small family run business. This location has several tables/indoor seating and was very clean/well maintained.

Overall I would for sure come back and try other things on their menu.

The men could not speak English and were from deep someplace in Mexico and I needed authentic food. After sharing this information with Elizabeth at the counter she suggested a lot of food that I could not understand what it was but I trusted her and paid $130. The Mexican men did not eat the food only the 4 tacos. There was salad, lots of vegetables, onions, radishes, zucchini, cilantro, many sauces, large flour tortillas and small corn tortillas that one could put together to make something by adding from a box of beans, rice, and some fajitas. No carne salada which I hear the men speak of frequently. Why didn't the men eat as I know they were hungry? There was no place to sit on this construction site, no plates, and it was especially not an environment where one can put together a piece meal such as in a buffet. Next day I learned that maybe burritos, chimichangas, or something like a meal in one could have been better choice out in the elements but I relied on the advice of the expert server behind the counter. The food went to the trash. Can any of you men tell me where I went wrong for this surprise lunch? Such a disappointment. I will speak to the manager.

The service was wonderful, thanks Vivienne. And the Ambiance was perfect. I had the Vegan Fajitas, the veggies came in a small cast-iron pan, the Mexican rice, Salsa, Black Beans and Guacamole were all cooked to perfection. The only down side (as with every restaurant), their Vegan meals have Diary Cheese and Diary Sour Cream. Vegans do not eat animals or animal by-products. It's not hard or expensive to get Plant Cheese and Plant Sour Cream. Other than that, I highly recommend this place.
