Our waiter Eric guided us to some dishes unique to Las Gardenias: Carne en su Jugo and Chilito de Puerco. Loved every bite and will definitely return for those 2 dishes alone. If you save room, the cheesecake is worth every calorie. Helpful and attentive service, authentic and delicious food.

I was a little skeptical about coming here at first because it was completely empty but I instantly regretted it when I bit into my food! Everything was great, the food, the service, and the atmosphere!
