Additionally, they lacked sufficient vegetarian and allergen-friendly options to entice me to return. Unfortunately, the chips are cooked in the same fryer as seafood and chicken, making it impossible for us to enjoy tortilla shells or chips. Despite calling ahead, we were incorrectly informed that the beans and rice would be suitable for us, only to discover that the rice contained chicken stock. This limited our dining options and left us hesitant to trust their recommendations in the future.

The Skirt steak was tender and very tasty coupled with an Enchilada with your choice of filling and sauce. I chose the Mole which had a nice chocolate flavor without heat. Black beans were chosen which were mashed. BTW the Margaritas so far are the best Suburban drink around now that El Jardin has shut down.
