El Jardin - Houston

Excellent service and very delicious, the prices are within the parameter, neither expensive nor economical, simply satisfactory.

I have been going to this restaurant for over 15+ years. That being said, today was not a great experience. There weren 't that many people in the restaurant, give or take 3 other tables. I ordered my drinks. They weren 't right. Not that big of a deal. I asked for a house margarita, given that it was happy hour, and I asked for it on the rocks. Not sure if the special price was only for frozen but I wasn 't made aware of that. I was brought a frozen margarita. I let the waitress know I asked for a margarita on the rocks, and she seemed confused. She proceeded to tell me that the frozen margarita was better . I stated I didn 't want frozen because it was too cold and hurts my teeth. She said she would ask the manager about exchanging it or something, I couldn 't really hear or understand her. After a long while, she brought my margarita on the rocks. But after that, she just seemed very standoffish and short when waiting my table. The food was okay. Nothing to complain about. We always went to this restaurant because it was a family tradition and we enjoyed the waitstaff and atmosphere, even if we had to pay higher prices. I spent $72 for dinner, it seemed a little high but I didn 't want to stay to look over it or ask questions as I felt very rushed and slighted and I didn 't want to bother to stick around. Maybe tonight was an off night for them or this waitress, I 'm not sure but it will probably be a while before I return.

I had Menudo yesterday.. it didn't compare to the menudo that I get at El Jardin for all these years. Awesome Family Restaurant. It's always nice to see many of the residents of Magnolia that have been going there for years eating lunch and breakfast after church

A place to eat and have a nice time! Parking: On-site parking

Place is open for business after last night storm...
