El Jardin

El Jardin is a family-run Mexican restaurant at 6460 E 73rd Ave in Commerce City, serving the community since 1982. The menu leans Southwestern and Mexican, with sizzling fajitas, grilled pork chops and steaks served with green chile, plus burritos, tacos, enchiladas and tamales. The kitchen prepares its chips and salsa fresh each morning, and the green chile can be ordered mild, medium, hot or extra hot.

The restaurant has dining rooms with more than 200 seats, a seasonal landscaped patio, a full-service bar called Benito's Cantina with margaritas, mojitos and beer on tap, and a weekend breakfast and brunch menu. Dining is first come, first served with no reservations. Takeout, catering, party-to-go packages and a private banquet room for large events are also available.
