Tonight was my first time at Gardens of Taxco. It was awesome. The food was excellent and the staff was extreamly friendly, they made me feel like it was home. I totally enjoyed the menu presenter. Loved it, love it, loved it!
Highly, highly overated. Expensive too! There are so many inexpensive and delicious Mexican restaurants to eat at in Los Angeles, why waste your money on average, and I do mean average, South of the Border fare.
Found this restaurant by chance. We were driving around, just killing some time really, and saw the restaurant sign. We had to wait for a bit for a table; the place was packed. It was interesting to learn that this restaurant does not have a printed menu. The waiter asked what we felt like eating and recited a choice of dishes. My husband and I both ordered the Shrimp "Puerto Vallarta" style, his came with a piece of "Carne Asada", and mine with some kind of stewed beef. Each dish cost about $24.(This price however, includes an appetizer, soup, an enchilada, the main course, dessert and a glas of sherry wine.) We found everythig was delicious, the only disappointment for me was that they use meat tenderizer on their "Carne Asada", which to me eliminates a lot of the "beef" flavor. They have a guitarrist who by the way sings very nicely; very romantic. I would suggest to folks that will visit this restaurant that they tip the singer. I observed that other people didn't, and when I did, it looked as if he appreciated it very much. After that we had a very nice chat and he even sang another song for us. We certainly will go back next time we're in L.A.
Go try it yourselves.
