    Honestly, I have very little good to say about El Jardin. The only positive aspect of the meal was that the tacos were so small that they didn't last too long. I had four, one of each, beef, pork, chicken, and sausage. The beef, pork, and chicken were incredibly unimaginative. They were so bland that not even their mother could fake interest in them. The sausage however, was pretty tasty. Nothing else was super exciting about it, but the meat itself was well flavored. It all tasted bland, and straight out of a middle school cafeteria, without the slightest bit of flavor. In fact, the only thing akin to foreign flavor is the salsa. I can only hope that it's intentionally designed to taste like unseasoned Ragu spaghetti sauce, because it certainly doesn't taste like anything I would want to willingly dip my chip in, much less consume. I also got a margarita. I'm not sure the folks had ever seen a lime, much lest used one. It was a terrible fake-flavored mix which was almost impossible to look at, let alone enjoy. On the bright side, the water was pretty good.

    I pass this place every year on our family vacation. We stopped by here once and were hooked. Only complaint is I wish they were closer to home. Great service and prices. Super fast food prep!!!

    We have tried nearly all the Mexican restaurants in the area and this has to be my least recommended. The restaurant itself is large with the standard Mexican fair. The service was attentive and friendly. The drinks were relatively cheap, and going on Thursday night, its ladies night so margaritas are half off. As far as the food, it is basically tasteless Mexican food. Starting with the chips and salsa, the chips were warm and tasty, but sauces are bland and generic. We even asked for a spicy sauce which was a little creamy but still didn't cut it. We tried a chile relleno which was atrocious, basically a poblano pepper full of cheese with no taste. Even the Veg burrito lacked any appreciable taste or quality ingredients. The taco's and the accompanying rice and beans were ok. Overall, there are much better choices in the area so I would not recommend El Jardin to satisfy your Mexican craving, you are better off at Hacienda Real.

    Excellent treat on a snowy Wednesday night. Started out with the Patron Margarita. Very smooth, not too sweet. Order Chili rellinos de queso. Breading was light, not greasy, peppers fresh and cheese melted at correct temperature. Guacamole side was a little small and lacked a little flavor but hard to expect more in Wisconsin in February. Muy Bueno!!!!!

    Pretty good food, service was good as well. Portion sizes are generous, with even the guys taking home some leftovers. Frozen banana margarita was delicious, not too sweet like some places. Ordered shrimp chimichanga (not on the menu), and I was pleasantly surprised. The shrimp were plentiful and very flavorful. I am very particular about Mexican food, I like it spicy and authentic, and although this can't compete with my favorite Mexican restaurants back home in Arizona, it was pretty darn good. My equally picky husband enjoyed his bistec ranchero, and my 12 year old liked his pork tamales (but would suggest requesting red sauce to top them off). Definitely worth the drive from Rockford up to Janesville!

    Good service, unique menu, and high quality, fairly authentic Mexican food. This place has proven to me to be the best Mexican restaurant in the area. It's not 100% authentic like you'd get south of the border, and it's not as good as some of the places in large cities like Milwaukee or Chicago. But it is very good, decently priced, and the margaritas are surprisingly good.

    Great food, mood, drinks, and overall experience. This is the best Mexican I've had in Janesville. Take advantage of the traditional dishes on the menu for the most authentic experience. Friday and Saturday nights have live music too!

    It's very rich good tasting food. Authentic? I'm not 100% on that. However, it is the best Mexican restaurant in Janesville by far. Very Clearly, culture and Janesville clash, which is probably why the restaurant has made some compromises on authenticity. Overall, nice place with a friendly staff and good food.

    El Jardin is my favorite Mexican food in Janesville. Coming from Southern CA, I know it's not really that authentic, but it is tasty. They accommodate my special orders and serve you quickly. The servers are friendly. The raspberry margarita is very good! I don't think I've had a raspberry margarita anywhere else, but I liked it. I really like the flautas (taquitos). Shredded beef is the way to go! Great flavor and filling. The chilaquiles are pretty spicy. I enjoy a little bit of a kick, but they were too spicy for me to eat plain. My husband's favorite is the tostadas. Recently they have been skimping a little on the lettuce, but they'll bring extra if you ask. Definitely worth a shot if you like Mexican food. Thursday night is "Ladies' Night" with half price margaritas. Friday they have a fish fry, which I have never tried as I don't eat fish, but they have it. And like I said, they are the best Mexican place in Janesville that I have tried so far.

    Not authentic at all. I would give it a better rating than the other "mexican" restaurants I've been at in Janesville, but that isn't saying a whole lot.

    Myself and coworkers come here quite often for lunch since it's so close. The lunch menu ranges from $5-$7 and the portions are well worth it. Can't beat the portion to price combo anywhere else close by. The nachos con carne, beef chimichangas, and taco salad are worth it. If you're really hungry, the nachos con carne will give you a fight. It's a big plate.

    Stop there yesterday. Very blah doubt if I ever go back. I can get better salsa at the grocery store. Food not spicy at all but then again it's authentic and real Mexican is not hot. I prefer the Tex Mex style. I just don't see what everybody see in this place.

Mexican Cuisine

If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.

Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.

Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.
