Decided it was okay to give me burrito with the sauce and other ingredients on the outside of the tortilla. The carne asada and shrimp is also cold. Last time going here. That's probably what they wanted though.

Very dry burrito no salsa and very little sour cream

Went to the La costa today 1/10/25 spent over $40 and left a tip, our burritos were very dry. disappointed in this restaurant If I could've left No stars, I would have

This is a shrimp quesadilla!!

I'm only giving 1 star cause I have to give a star this was so disgusting and disappointing I ordered a quesadilla and if you see the pic of the quesadilla idk what that was soggy stuffed with lettuce and soggy everything the tacos also so dry and flavorless. Never ever again don't waste your time and money!!

Carne asada burrito with shrimp added

This is a walk-up taqueria off Main Street that is cash only. Hubbs had a burrito from here and said I have to try it. I probably would've liked it better if I hadn't stood in a long line in the sun with a mask when the car thermometer read 105°!!! Like the name implies the food is more coastal with a variety of seafood options. I asked the very nice kid at the register if they had enchiladas and was told they do not. Asked for recommendations and he let me know that their carne asada and shrimp were very popular. Said their carne asada was done differently so I got a carne asada and shrimp burrito. We were ordering for the family so we also got 2 carne asada burritos hold the sour cream and add cheese, carne asada super taco, carne asada taco and a carnitas taco. Got home and our order including changes were done correctly YAY! My burrito was big with large shrimp that were plentiful but were only on one half of my burrito, the carne asada was good but I didn't detect anything different about it. We asked for the tacos to be plain for the babes and they definitely had plenty of meat. Prices are cheap, $7 for a burrito and $2 for a street taco. Extra shrimp was only $1.50 but extra cheese was $1 per burrito. That seemed expensive compared to the costs of everything else. Can't complain only $1.50 for shrimp is a great deal and all our food came out to $35?!?! Definitely some cheap tasty bites. Both the hubbs and I could only eat half our burritos, warmed them up the next day and they were still tasty. This place is busy so the food is fresh. If I lived nearby I would definitely go more than I should. I would give the place 3.5 stars but since that's not an option I rounded up to 4 stars since our order was done correctly and the staff was helpful and nice.

CASH only. Great "bang for your buck." Lots of food and very low cost. Plastic flatware and napkins are self serve and ask for jalapeños, salsa, etc. Water only available for purchase. Good amount of parking and very fast at food preparation. Outside seating is clean or inside option (I didn't go inside so cannot comment.)

What the happened to this place? The food came out faster than Taco Bell and tastes worst than Del Taco. I have no words. This use to be my go to since High School. And today's meal sealed it's fate...I will go there no more. Ordered a Burrito, Torta, 2 Tacos, Quesadilla, and a Cerviche de Camaron. With a line of people...the order was done in 2 minutes....along with everyone else's. Ok fine fast food that's not made to order...but it was horrible. And now I am hunched over sweating with a stomach ache and on the pooper with nothing solid coming out on both ends. Yup...food poisoning. Sad to see this landmark go downhill like this.

I got the grilled chicken torta, not a lot of meat, and not a lot of flavor. Other than that, it was good.

Drove out to Manteca to run an errand with my hubby & found this wonderful place on Yelp. We We…read morevisited this restaurant on Yosemite Ave on Saturday around during peak lunch. 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.

I ordered the three taco combo plate and you can mix and match the meats. I got all birria and it came with consome as well as rice and beans. The service was nice and quick. The tacos were very filling and the meat was juicy. The consome was really good as well. It did not have a lot of oil like other places. Overall I would for sure come back and try other things on their menu.

I read the reviews prior and they brought me here to see for myself …read more The service from walking in the door was prompt and very welcoming. 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. !

I was super hungry so walked across the street to find some food. After looking into a couple restaurants in the same center, I decided to try mexican food. It's was a long line. I ordered the shrimp taco, fish taco and beef taco and damn!!!! They are were so so so good. I even got their green juice, which is basically a kale smoothie. Also amazing.

Here's a polished and corrected version in English:…read more Normally I would give them 5 stars, but today they really disappointed me . I stopped by and ordered carne asada, a beet and carrot juice, and a guacamole. I was really happy and excited because, after a difficult day and going through chemotherapy, it sounded like the most delicious meal I could imagine. Imagine my surprise when I got home, set everything on the table, and realized my guacamole was missing. I was upset, but I thought, "Oh well." I decided to call later to ask for a refund, and meanwhile I started eating the carne asada... it was extremely dry and almost burnt. Since it was so dry, I took a sip of my beet and celery juice, only to realize it had orange and carrot in it instead, and the oranges tasted kind of rancid. So I called the restaurant to explain what happened with my guacamole and ask for my money back. While thinking about everything, it crossed my mind that I hadn't left a tip. I started wondering if maybe that was why everything went wrong. Right now I'm on disability because I'm undergoing cancer treatment and I'm unable to work, so financially things are not easy for me. Long story short, I spoke with a woman on the phone and all she said was, "Okay, you'll receive your refund in three days." What stayed with me the most was that there was no apology or empathy at all. It honestly left me feeling disappointed, and that's not okay. As a customer, especially during such a difficult time in my life, I expected at least some kindness and understanding. I'm leaving this message so management can better train their employees in customer service. It's not good to focus so heavily on tips or risk a lawsuit because of the attitude of a waitress or server.
