- CClaudiaLas Vegas •1 review4.0Dined 4 days agoPretty place especially for pictures. Food was delicious. The only negative part to me was that my reservation was at 1 o’clock and I was a bit rushed when it came to dessert because they closed their kitchen around 2 PM so that is information I did not have but now you knowMore infoJardin Autentica CocinaPrice: Moderate• Mexican• Orange•4.5
- MMikeOrange County •5 reviews4.0Dined 6 days agoChairs inside were hard to sit on for any length of time. We reserved the patio but when we got there, they said they had a huge party that took over the patio so we had to sit inside. Service was slow even though it wasn’t that busy at 5 o’clock in the evening. The food was good, but the prices seemed high. Overall, not unhappy with it, but not thrill to deathMore infoDescanso - Standard DiningPrice: Moderate• Mexican• Costa Mesa•4.7
