Reviews for Jardines de San Juan in San Juan Bautista, CA
Came in on a Friday and we were seated quickly. Very calming ambiance. I felt like I was on a vacation. The food was good, but... definitely salty. Salty beans, salty rice, salt meat. You get the picture. It's the first thing that hits your senses. Skirtsteak was overcooked and even crunchy around the edges. The beans have cheese melted on top and mixed into the beans. Verycheesy for cheese lovers. My friend had chile colorado and said it was salty. Other friend had an enchilada and he liked it.The tortillas came about 10 minutes after the food. We kept trying to flag a server to ask for them. We we told they were on theway. Honestly, they should come out with the food. If you wait for them, the food is cold. We started without them. The bestthing about this restaurant is quick seating and ambiance. I use plenty of salt when I cook, so for me to comment the food issalty, it most definitely is. Read more
Arguably the best tasting food in SJB. We?ve been coming here for years, but it finally hit me just how lucky we are to have... Jardines close by: Insanely delicious food, perfect atmosphere, and great service. If you stop in SJB, please make time for thisplace! (And might I suggest the fish tacos!) Just awesome! Read more
We spent a lovely evening at Jardines. Food was delicious, and drinks are always on point. I had the vegetarian burrito but... asked for it in a bowl. Flavor was delicious and the servers are very accommodating. Read more

Came in for a Family Dinner Night on a Sunday evening and were seated right away on the cutest patio ever. This restaurant is... located in a small downtown area that looks really old fashioned/western vibes and it?s seriously the best. We were broughtchips and salsa and water right away and the server was nice. Our two margaritas from the bar were super strong. You definitelyget what you pay for. The kids meal was of good size and came out very quickly. I ordered chili relleno and it came with riceand beans. Super flavorful and good. My wife ordered the chef tacos and it came with rice and beans also. Best favors ever shesays. The patio is pet friendly and offers a lot of shade and outdoor seating. Will definitely be here again. Side note:Tuesday is all you can eat tacos as the daily special!! Read more
We were here 2 yrs ago n been wanting to return. We had our chance ... Finishing up our 5 wonderful nights Camping in Santa Cruz... n my hubby wanted to take me out for a nice late lunch before heading home. Colorful settings with umbrella n beautiful plants. Great service My Hubby Ordered Cheese Enchilada n Shredded beef Taco n Rice n beans. Sadly the taco didn't hold up ... Justfell apart ... But tasty. I loved my Chile Verde n beans n rice was great .. it was generous n couldn't eat n I know My Honeywill eat the leftovers. They tried to put people on tables with distance Too bad they close down the Garden this time Enjoyedour Meal. It's a nice area to stroll down n look at little shops here at San Juan Bautista.

Hands down the best restaurant in SJB. Probably the best patio in the entirety of the Bay Area. The value is out of this world.... The food is ultra fresh, prepared perfectly, and rich with flavor. The patio is a block away from the mission and the area isfun to walk about. $5 legit margaritas on a hot Friday afternoon? what?s not to love. Been coming here for years with my familyand happy to point more people in this establishment?s direction. Read more
