    The food and service were excellent. I appreciated the phone call in advance to confirm our reservation for Valentine's as it allowed me to get an earlier reservation time. The only downside was that they ran out of the dessert we wanted. Great experience overall! We will be back.

    Overall, I had a wonderful time at Jardin Autentica Cocina. My friends and I went for brunch and the food for this time frame was delicious, especially the chorizo con papas empanadas and the tres leches toast. The choriza con papas melted beautifully once you had a taste and the tres leches was a perfect balance of sweet and savory. My friends and I agreed to come back for more of their brunch options. I will say though that for our experience, the lighting of the restaurant was dim/low so if you are hoping to take pictures might want to turn on your flash. Also, this restaurant has valet parking and tips are encouraged.

    I had been to the original location years ago. It is consistent with great staff. I specifically want to give a shout out to Nick who is patient and very informative. When we asked about the different offerings we decided on their Ahi tuna wraps and for dessert their fried apple pie.
