I COULDN'T HAVE SAID IT BETTER MYSELF!
GUESTS TESTIMONIALS
There are a lot of Mexican Restaurants that we like, but at El Jardin
there is so much more than the good food. When you walk into El Jardin, the
restaurant appears to be like a large, upscale restaurant . Then , you are
immediately greeted by the staff ,and the restaurant takes on a completely
different persona. You are transported into someone's home. You feel like
you are enjoying a meal at a friends house or in mom's kitchen. Some
restaurants feel like there is an "us and them" mentality. (Us= the workers
and them= the customers.) At El Jardin you get the feeling that you have
just joined a party in progress. They give you the feeling that they have
known you for years. There is no "us and them".
Our family has a wide variety of tastes for Mexican food. El Jardin
satisfies them all. They make sure you are satisfied before you leave. It
goes beyond a waiter or waitress working hard for your tip. The whole staff
works together to ensure your satisfaction. - Bob & Pam Armstrong - Thornton
This is one place where the food looks just like - or better - than in their publicity pictures! Almost too pretty to eat sometimes, but oh boy, the taste is too great to miss. Be prepared to ask for a take-home container, their portions are very generous.Plus, everything is so pretty, clean and appealing - forks, spoons, tables, decorations, seats, floors, and staff too! Speaking of staff, a better crew would be very hard to find; they're efficient, friendly, and the whole experience is just a lot of fun along with a satisfied tummy. In these high-priced gas times, we drive extra miles, passing many other Mexican restaurants, to get our money's worth at El Jardin! - GiGi & Chuck Mills - Denver
Everything went great- however I did catch grief for not ordering any cheese, lettuce and tomato- which I know you recommended- I should have gone with your recommendation. So……don’t let anyone order Mexican food without ordering cheese- you can quote me on that J
Everyone thought the food was excellent- and I agree- thank you very much!

We had a wonderful time at our Kolecki retirement party on Saturday, October 4th. The service and food were great and all of our guests just raved about the wonderful arrangements. The accommodations were terrific and we really appreciated the exceptional help from Julio and Olivia. The rest of the evening staff did an outstanding job as well. Thanks so very much for helping to make this special occasion so fun and memorable.

Just wanted to take a moment and let you know how pleased we were with the buffet last Friday.
The food was excellent and received many raves. I think the banquet brought you some new customers, myself included.
Thanks once again.

Ben, Just a note to thank you and your staff for a
wonderful evening at my daughters wedding. The food was fantastic and the
service was great. I brought the leftovers into work for my co-workers. They
loved it so much my boss is going to contact you. We are having a big
conference at our plant in April. He is going to call you about catering the
luncheon. One of the girls took her family to your place last night for
dinner. They also loved it.
Thank You Again and you will see us lots in the future.

Doug and I want to thank you for a wonderful evening for my Retirement Party and it was a huge success. Your staff was awesome - filling glasses, keeping the tables cleaned and tending the bar. They were very courteous and friendly to my guests. Amy did an outstanding job making sure everything was just right. The food was outstanding (as always) and quite a few of my friends commented on how good the food was. I also appreciated the fact that my cake was cut and served by your staff. Once again, thank you for making my party "so much fun".
Jo and Doug Finkenbinder - Thornton
We recently dined at El Jardin to celebrate our grandson's 17th birthday. I
wanted to write to you about our server Adriana. We were greeted with by
this very pleasant young lady who wore a smile the entire time we were
there. Even though there were 12 of us, she was always right on top of
things and we were never waiting long for anything. She was an absolute
delight! I just want to write and tell you what a jewel you have in this
young lady, we will definitely be back and will be requesting Adriana as our
server.
Thank you,
Ann Stoddard
We would like to take
this opportunity to thank you so much for the outstanding graduation party
you catered for our son, Chad. As you probably heard, he was so ecstatic
the entire afternoon. We still have people come up to us and thank us for
inviting them to such a great party. The buffet that you served was super
and the variety of food pleased everyone that attended. The chicken
enchiladas were the talk of the day!
It was so nice to be able to go to the party and know that EVERYTHING would
be taken care of for us. It was great to have such wonderful ladies wait on
our guests. The service that they provided was of the highest value!
Everything that we asked for was there and every guest was taken care of so
well.
Thanks again for an outstanding job from such a lovely wait staff! It was
nice to know that the delicious drinks were also served endlessly on such a
warm day in June. Please take time to share our thanks with the ladies
who served our guests and to the chef and staff who cooked the food. Thanks
again for a fabulous day and one that we will remember for a long time.
We never hesitate to say "El Jardin's" when someone asks for a restaurant
here in Commerce City that serves delicious Mexican food.
Thanks,
Bob, Kristy, and Chad Smith - Commerce City
We just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed having our son's wedding
at your restaurant this last May. The food was delicious, attractively
displayed on the patio, and plentiful! The atmosphere your staff provided
made our guests feel welcome and pampered. We were able to mingle with
family and friends knowing every detail of our reception was tended to. We
look forward to celebrating many other occasions and family dinners at El
Jardin. Thank you and your staff for your efforts and attention to detail.
Sincerely,
Mr. and Mrs. David Manzanares

Thank you Desiree for putting up with the Jackson Lake Property Owners Christmas Dinner on 12/17. ~Joyce & Chris Barnhill~

Well, I finally visited El Jardin and gee whiz I wish I had gone there much earlier. It was WONDERFUL. Donna was with me and she loved it also.

Believe me, I will be back there SOON. ~Elizabeth Boyd - Denver, CO.

Several years ago when you were in front of Hi-Lo we visited your place fairly often. You moved around the corner and we still came but not as much. No reason. We also visited another place about a mile away. Our kids went to school with the owners of both family owned places. We have now moved out of Commerce City and live in Thornton. Another customer of yours gave us a coupon in Feb. and we have been reintroduced to your place. We have been their six or eight times this year and like it very much. Your February Sweetheart Dinner for Two was excellent even though it was much more than we needed. Your service is great, the food is excellent and servings bountiful. Can I be put on a mailing or email list to receive the coupons or specials? Thank you very much for the excellent service and great food. We will continue to visit and recommend your establishment to others.

out of all the places that my husband has taken me to eat, your is the
cleanest, friendliest, and has the best food (the chimi's and the stuffed sopa's
are the best).

El Jardin has been a favorite of mine for over 15 years. I use
to work in
the vicinity and went there often. I no longer work in Commerce City but
still find time to go there. The food is always oven warm, appetizing,
served from friendly staff people in a lovely environment, the turn around
time from ordering to eating has always been in a short time, the food is
tasty, pleasantly arranged, variety is great. Their appetizers are so good
that many times I have made the rellenitos as a full meal. Thanks for
always being open for us.

I have been going to El Jardin since the
80's when they only had the small
place across from the HI-LO food store.
I live in Brighton and we have alot of mexican food restaurant but I rather
drive to Commerce city to have the best
green chili and service that anyone could ask for. The choices of green
chili is very important because sometime you are in the mood for mild and
sometimes you want hot. The new remodeling they have been doing is
spectacular and I can't wait for summer to be sipping margaritas on the patio.
Thank you El Jardin

As a long time user of El Jardin as a dining spot for our
own eating out place we find to be a great place to take friends. The food is
great and they prepare to meet special taste. ( My wife medical condition will
not allow spicy seasonings) The food is served in an attractive manner, the
people are friendly and attentive, when we dine there we go away feeling if the
servings were any larger where would you put it. The prices are the great for
size of servings. The remodeled inside and out is great and the new parking in
front is great for old knees like mine, lots of additional parking in back, but
the steps are difficult, A center hand rail would help a lot.

Joyce and I celebrated 50 years the 19th of December. Kids had
a party for
us the 20th. at South Suburban Christian Church Littleton with over 60
Guests. Guess where the food came from? My oldest Boy picked it up and you
should have seen those Enchiladas, Tacos and Chili Rellenos disappear. There
was other food but yours went first. My favorite is your Burrito Supreme
with a couple of over easy eggs on top. See you Saturday.

I work close to El Jardin and eat their 2-3 times/wk. They have the best food around. The atmosphere and staff are warm and inviting. I would definately recommend this restuarant to casual dining and business meetings as well as parties and receptions
Candace Workman - Broomfield Co.
I started going because my coworkers liked it. They give me a
hard time because I am not one that eats salsa or chili sauce, so they say it
isn't Mexican food anymore. But I have eaten alot of things there that I never
have before. They make the adjustments to make the way I like. They have such a
good variety that even for a gringo like me it works. My coworkers like the real
hot stuff and they think it is the greatest Mexican food too.

We have been coming to El Jardin since the restaurant was
at their first location across from HiLo. We keep coming for several reasons.
The main reason is the food. It is our favorite Mexican food because of the
delicious taste and great variety. Besides the food, we come to El Jardin for
the friendly family atmosphere. The staff members are always friendly and treat
the customers as if they were family.
The remodeling that El Jardin has undergone makes the restaurant more
comfortable and makes the dining experience enjoyable
We will continue to bring our business to El Jardin as long as you continue to
serve your delicious food in such a wonderful atmosphere.
Thank you for providing us with great dining!
Sincerely,

Good Food at Good Prices
El Jardin has a great variety of dishes. Their food is tastefully prepared and
always enough to satisfy the most hungry appetites. The friendly service and
CLEAN restaurant will keep us coming back. It is obvious they care about their
customers.

We discovered your restaurant about a
year ago and we are hooked. We are so
impressed with how clean the restaurant is and how great the food and
service is. We usually go there about 2 or 3 times a week and since I work
close sometimes for lunch. I have recommended to co-workers and they come
back raving about the food & service. Keep up the good work and the new
exterior looks great.
Thank You

Friendly wait staff and attentive service make the great
Fajitas taste even better. El Jardin's dining area is clean and comfortable. A
good all around experience.
We enjoy coming to El Jardin and we
drive from Lafayette to dine there, the new restaurant is excellent. Our
favorites are the Chicken Enchiladas, Cheese Enchiladas, Flautas and the
Chimichanga (chicken).
Of course the Margaritas are a hit too.
We have been visiting the restaurant for many years now. It is a hit with us
either dining in or taking out......

By far our favorite part of El
Jardin is the green chile and of course Toms daily joke. We haven't used the
catering before and the new banquet facility looks very nice. Best Mexican food
in town!!!
Karen Hayes, Northglenn, CO.
I would like to thank the staff and ownership of El Jardin for a most wonderful Christmas party in your new banquet room. What a wonderful time, we from Open Door Fellowship, had. Everything that was promised was delivered, and with no mistakes or problems. All of the staff that waited on us were so attentive. The food was delicious and at an excellent price (something that we appreciated very much). I am sure that I will be booking our next event at El Jardin I have told many others about the new banquet room and the professional way in which we were treated and I will continue to do that. Again thank you to all the owners and staff at El Jardin for a wonderful Christmas dinner party. I will be seeing you soon.
Thanks again and again!
Charlene Busby Commerce City, CO.
I am just writing this thanking you for our $5.00 credit from the "No Peaking" Christmas present. You guys have a wonderful restaurant, great staff, and of course the Banquet Hall for the Clapper's 50th Anniversary party was magnificent. Keep up the good work, and I cannot wait for the remodeling to be complete. Thanks again for your restaurant.

The staff is very friendly. The food is excellent. The prices are great. The salsa is wonderful.Mike Richards - Henderson, CO
El Jardin is our families favorite Mexican restaurant. The green chili is the
best - especially when it's served with the very authentic chili rellenos. It's
definetely well worth the 40 minute drive. Also, the service and staff are
always very speedy and friendly. We've also used El Jardin's catering service
for a Boy Scout Banquet. The value was unbelievable and all the families enjoyed
the professional service and food.

We love your burrito's and drive a long ways just to have
them. We drive
from near Parker and always meet another couple and they drive in from
Arvada. Great Food and Service!
Edward R. Haley - Aurora, CO
We came in one day when we were in a hurry and we were driving by and were very happy with the service, food and atmosphere. Since that time, we have been in every week. Thank you for your great service and food. We will bring all of our friends there too.
Lee Morrow
Ben, we really do feel El Jardin has the
best Mexican food in Denver area. we
live in Arvada. we meet our friends who live in Parker once a month to dine
at El Jardin and I have lunch with two of my college friends there monthly
also. One comes from Aurora. The other works in the area and he introduced us
to your food. We have brought three other couples to eat at your
establishment. Everyone loves it. I usually get the daily specials and they
are all grand. Until we began eating at El Jardins I always got Burritos now
it is all great and other Mexican restaurants just don't measure up.
Fred Clarke - Arvada Co 80004
I really am glad that you have expanded. I love the food. the service has always been very nice. we tried eating at the restaurant down the street. but the service was bad. my brother eats there at least 3 times a week. I like reading your e mail and the Marganitas are great. the expansion looks like a real high class Mexican restaurant.My favorite food is the enchiladas. Kathy Lynch - Commerce City, CO.
We have been eating at El Jardins for over 20 years, when the restaurant was across from the Hi-Lo. The people have always been very friendly and professional.
They have the best food with great prices and plenty pf food. The atmosphere is very comfortable and welcoming. The wait staff is the best. There is nothing bad to say about this restaurant. The only thing I would like to see change is that they accept checks from there regular customers. Thank You for being such nice people with Great food.
Rick & Cindy Burrows - Henderson, Colo
What do I like best about El Jardin's
food? EVERYTHING is good, but my
favorite are the enchiladas and my husband's is the bean & beef smothered
burrito. El Jardin catered my daughter's wedding last April. One of the
items we selected was the green chili enchiladas and they were terrific!
The food was inviting, everything looked wonderful and the staff were very
polite and professional. The portion of the food was plenty and we did not
run out of food, which was one of my concerns. Would I use El Jardin for
catering again? They would be number 1 on my list! My family and I enjoy
the food and they are our favorite place to eat. I recommend them to
family, co-workers and friends and they have enjoyed the food too! Keep up
the good work!!
Thank you,
Debra Naranjo - Brighton, CO.
El Jardin restaurant is one of our favorite places to eat out at. The
food has always been very good with a variety to pick from. There usually isn't
much of a wait time to be seated. The staff is friendly and prompt. The orders
are served hot and your drinks are quickly refilled. There is also a very nice
bandquet room for small to large parties. The food and service for the banquet
room are great also.
Thanks,
The Richard Juhl Family
The best tasting Mexican food I have ever had. On any special occasions or birthdays, my family will always be there. Their breakfast is the best too. I can have a breakfast burrito from El Jardin everyday!
