The word on Jardin Del Rey Mexican Restaurant
Here's the word going around
I haven't beaten the church rush to a table here yet, so this is the diners' read, not mine.
Anthony, The Leander Local · Last checked August 2026
By most accounts you can roll in during the Sunday post-church rush and still get a table before your eyes adjust to the room. Drinks land fast, food faster, and that's the whole pitch reviewers describe: a busy cantina that respects your time and doesn't make a federal case out of a margarita. The beef crunchy tacos snap the way a crunchy taco should, and the beef fajitas for two get called the move.
It isn't pure Tex-Mex, leaning a little to its own beat, and the chicken taco salad let one diner down with bagged, wet lettuce. But a floor crew including a Marco runs warm and quick, prices stay honest, portions generous, and people report circling back every couple of months.
Beef fajitas for two and a cantina that won't waste my Sunday? That's an easy plan to make.
The Order
Reviewers point to the beef fajitas for two and the crunchy beef tacos, and say skip the taco salad.
⚠ Gotcha
The chicken taco salad rides on bagged lettuce and shows up on a plate, not in a shell, by a few accounts. Order around it.
That's the word on this one.
