Editorial Review for Gardens of Taxco – by Tara de Lis
In Short
Like a dark comfy home in Mexico circa the early '70s, this West Hollywood hideaway is decked out with tin flowers, funky wood paneling and faux stained glass. Gregarious waiters decked out in guayaberas sing basic entree choices like beef, chicken and shrimp dishes to guests. The menu consists of five courses--appetizer selections can include cheese quesadillas, shredded beef enchiladas and albondigas soup. A shot of sherry and banana pudding completes the meal.

I'd heard for years that Gardens was "the best Mexican in LA," so i tried it out recently. What a letdown. Other than the very good, but basic, quesadilla starter, the food was not great and certainly not worthy of a return trip. Our server attempted to be cute as he presented the menu to us verbally, but he mostly seemed bored at having given the same spiel 1000 times. Between the 15 of us at the table, I got to sample a little but of every entree option. The steak dishes were overcooked, although not terrible, the chicken dishes were all drowned in extremely thick sauces, and the banana-cream dessert was eaten by 1 person - me (it was just ok; I'd rather have flan or a sopapilla.) I do not understand the gimmick here, you can get better Mexican food for cheaper at Papas & Beer on Melrose.
Pros: Fun atmosphere, good salsa
Cons: Food does not amaze or entice

I wanted to take my girlfriend to a nice restaurant for her birthday which I had in mind Chinese. However, she mentioned that she wanted to go to “The Gardens of Taxco" now I have never heard of this place but, my girlfriend gave it a good review. Well she was on point, the minute we walked in I felt great, from the greeting that we received as well as the ambience. The food was so good there and the people really make you feel at home. I place this restaurant as one of my top choices to eat in Los Angeles. Not only was I sitting with the love of my life and the most beautiful girl there, I was enjoying some of the best Mexican food ever!
Pros: Great service
Cons: Can't think of any
