Jardines is a local favorite. As a transplant, I love it. It's authentic Mexican. The food does seem to come out a little slow, but it's worth it. Relax, enjoy your chips and margarita and wait a little bit for real Mexican food, not overspiced Tex Mex from a box.
We had good, friendly serice and tasty food at Jardines in downtown Ottawa IL. Had Flautas: 3 small tortillas wrapped with chicken inside & deep fried, topped with sour cream, lettuce, tomato & avocado slices; served with refried beans and rice on side for about 10 bucks. The fresh made tortilla chips and salsa were outstanding. The lemonade was refreshing. Good thing we had the chips and salsa; the meal was skimpier (for the price) than most restaurants. We were satisfied, though.
Well i have to said is a poor general score for this place.
The time you have to wait for your dishes is excesive. I can't tall about the quality of all dishes, but if i would make a call about the quality food, depending on the two dishes i tried. It is no good. Actually it doesn't taste as mexican food at all. I ask for a "queso Fundido" "melt cheese" it was more like a hot milk with some chiorizo, the chorizo (Mexican sausage) have to said was good.
So, I wouldn't be back on this place, at least it was the only food store open on that moment. I mena is not that bad, but for sure you'll find a better place to eat in town by sure, even McDonals..... hey wait a secon i think not that bad........ But Burger king is better.
Regards.
