Commerce City has something to brag
about with El Jardin, a delightful
Mexican eatery. The freestanding
building is great looking with its
southwestern feel and large parking
area. Enter and the feeling is warm,
casual and welcoming with booths, tables
and art on the walls. There is a huge
banquet room to one side where guests
can be seated on very busy nights. The
menu is huge with so many great choices.
Start with chips and salsa and then do
not miss the terrific guacamole. Other
choices include nachos, shrimp cocktail,
quesadillas and mini rellenos. Fajitas
are very special here--choose lamb,
chicken, beef or pork and they arrive
with all the fixings. Flautas are in
many forms, and tacos please in both
soft and hard shell versions and come as
sides or dinners. The Indian tacos, an
El Jardin original is two toasted flour
tortillas filled with chicken or beef,
melted cheese, lettuce and tomato,
served with beans, rice and pico de
gallo. Enchiladas with green chile,
seafood quesadillas, tilapia, burritos,
and steak ranchero make decisions
impossible. Add burgers, salads and even
breakfast specialties for morning diners
and you know why the place is so
popular. Desserts make a perfect end
with flan and mouthwatering cinnamon
sprinkled sopapillas. With super
service, a kiddie menu and affordable
prices, El Jardin is everyone's
"neighborhood" favorite.
