Jardin has fantastic food - my favorite being the chile rellano, and some of the very best salsa in Austin. One thing you must do here is either pay in cash, or closely check your credit card receipts when you get home. I noticed that they helped themselves to a little extra on my card even though I very clearly stated on the receipt that I tipped in cash.

Awesome

To the first review"Poorly Structured Lunch Specials" you are a cheap A** that needs to to some thing about your taste, the food is the bomb, and its not tex-mex you retard its authentic Mexican so go back to mcdonalds where they offer a whole burger for a buck, but they do charge an extra dollar for the fries(cheapass) , and Chicken breast is stuffed in mexico you just go to get around more ese, before you make this mexican place seem like a tex-mex place! I love there fajitas and the margaritas can't be touched!!!

love it and willkeep going back year after year

This place is great. Lunch special is fine w/out beans and rice because you get filled from the main portion. Maybe that why it's not offered and has to be requested. The items on the menu are the same as other places in mexico. I like the variety that is offered. It's so hard to decide what i want to order it's all so good. So that why i don't become bored eating here year after years. Jardin your great. Don't listen to bad reviews. Wait staff has always been very polite, humble, and fast with tea, salsa,and chips refills. MMMMM maybe that why i had to take time to write this. There are so many over priced bad tex-mex places. THIS IS NOT ONE OF THEM!!!!

Awesome

If you don't get the Pipian chicken enchiladas, you're doing it wrong. Best enchilada plate I've ever had.

I have been going to Jardin Corona since I discovered it about 2 years ago. This is truly my favorite Mexican restaurant in Austin. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu and lunch specials are great.

I have been eating at Jardin for 6+ years now. I moved away from the area but still drive back whenever possible for the great food and wonderful service. Nothing bad to say at all, I love the lunch specials and they've even made them for me at dinner.

We go to Jardin Corona as often as possible! I love the queso, the enchiladas and the steak a la mexicana. We always take out of town guest there and they love it.

Jardin Corona is where I take out of town guests to show off how good strip mall tex-mex can get.

The staff reviewer made several errors in his review. Most importantly, if he'd taken the trouble to visit more than once, he would know that the cheese enchiladas are the worst thing on the menu. The sauce is mild to the point of being bland, and indeed the cheese is colby/longhorn soft (not velveeta, duh.) These are just the thing for adventurous 4 year olds, or um, not adventurous grown-ups. Perfecly adequate,

If you require rice and beans on your plate, that's a personal problem, but you could have ordered from the regular menu, $5.99 for two enchiladas, three for just a buck more. And you can choose from any of the other half dozen sauces, try chicken, cheese or beef, or one of each, they do it without flinching.

The soft drink with lunch specials is a good value for most Texans, who couldn't face the afternoon without a fortifying ice tea or Dr. Pepper at lunch.

Take a look at the rest of the menu, there are actual mexican dishes, all your tex-mex favorites(exept puffy tacos) and the cheapest combination plates in town. If you order el super Tucan ($7.99) stay away from the chip basket beforehand or plan on sharing.

Awesome Mole!

This is a fantastic restaurant. The parking stinks and it's in a strip mall, but the food is amazing. Try the cheese enchilada lunch special but ask for mole sauce instead. Chips and queso come with the special and two fajitas are perfect for lunch. The mole is the best in Austin, who'd have thought from this hole in the wall?

okay!

Firstly, to the person that called Jardin's cheese not "Velveeta-y" but instead "authentic Mexican cheese", what part of Mexico is this cheese from, Victoria, TX? It is not authentic. Panella is. The food is alright; I've eaten there twice and wasn't satisfied, but it wasn't terrible. I absolutely do not consider it "real" Mexican food because I've yet to find a Mexican or restaurant in Mexico that stuffs a chicken breast with anything. However, their breakfast tacos, which I've only had once, have definitely left me craving another...constantly!!!! If you like Mexican food that tastes more like something from Mexico, rather than just Texas, try Taqueria Guadalajara on N. Larmar; they know how to make a real meal and the girls were much more friendly, they even spoke to me in Spanish!

Good drinks, ok food.

I've only been here once, but it was an overall pleasant experience. We went at like 630 on a saturday and only waited 15 minutes or so to get a table, which gave us a chance to get a margarita from the bar. Strong, huge, and tasty i say! I split a combination plate with one other person that came with 2 enchiladas, rice, beans, guac, and a taco. Plenty of food at a reasonable price - it wasn't anything extremely delicious but it was decent.

Great pople !!

I've eaten lunch, dinner, and breakfast here and love it. Not sure what the AusLunch reviewer is talking about when he says the cheese is too "velveeta-y" for him. This is the same authentic Mexican cheese that's served at the other establishment (Amaya's Taco Village) where he made the same comment in his review. Seems like this guy prefers Cheddar; not a Mexican cheese. Anyway, Jardin Corona has excellent food. My favorites are their breakfast tacos, carne guisada, and for dinner a chicken dish w/verde sauce and cheese on the chicken breast (sorry - can't remember the exact name). Also notable is the fact they have horchata on tap. Give this place a try - you won't regret it!!!!

Jardin Corona is my favorite Mexican Food in NorthWest Austin

I love Jardin Corona.

I have not had one disappointing dish at Jardin Corona. I like the taste of their food over everything else I have had in NorthWest Austin. Many texmex places seem to over-season the food, but not Jardin Corona.

Combine that with the fact that they have a drive through, and that bumps it up higher. I call in my order from home, drive through to pick it ip, and bring it home to eat still piping hot.

because it's not tex mex

If it does not seem tex mex to you that is becase it is not tex mex. It is mexican food, which is becoming rare in Austin. If you want tex mex you should stop by the grocery store and buy a can of beans and add some tomato sauce to some minute rice and enjoy!

I have lived in Austin area 5 years and this is the best of the over 20 Mexican Food Restaurants I have eaten at. I could eat Mexican Food 7 days a week and I have had better but it was in Pueblo Colorado and served with delicious green chili sauce, nothing like the green sauce here in Austin. I also love Jardin's "Pina Coladas", and queso is very good. The one on Pond Springs is my favorite and the food seems to be better than the one in Cedar Park. The waiters are friendly and I have always been very satisified with my food and service. The place is a little small, and no beautiful scenery, but if its good food with a good price you want, I would recommend Jardin Corona. I love this place.

Great Queso!!!

I absolutely love this place and if you live out in Cedar Park, TX 78613 i go to the one there and the food is amazing, the atmosphere is definitely not first class, but who cares when the food is great. The one in Cedar Park does have rice and beans that come with the plates automatically and they do not charge for jalapenos or onions most of the time, depending on what waitor you have so that's not a problem, yes their chips and queso are to die for!!! : ) And their Papa Nachos are ridiculously amazing as well!!!! I recommend going there highly!

Great Food and Service!!!

I have eaten at this restaurant a couple of times and it has become one of my favorite places to eat Mexican Food. I consider the food to be real Mexican food instead of Tex-Mex. It is an extremely clean environment and they have awesome waiters! After my first visit, I fell in love with Jardin Corona. I try to make a stop at least once a week and each time I try something new!!!
