Gardens of Taxco
Since 1971, The Gardens of Taxco has built its reputation on consistently providing the best Mexico-City Style Cuisine in Los Angeles.
Your unique five course dining experience begins when your menu is presented verbally; combining details about the entrees with colorful signature sayings such as ‘born in the sauce’ and ‘Not hot, spicy’. The understated decor and festive atmosphere will transport you to a fine home in Mexico City.

"Restaurant's Alcohol Beverage Control license is restricted to beer and wine. They do not have a general on premise sale license for mineral spirits. So, if your thinking of having a real cocktail, forget it. All of our entree's upon being served were just warm and or cold. There are no menu's, as they only offer prearranged courses of beef, chicken, or fish, which would have been acceptable had the food and service been good. Overall not a good experience and definitely over priced."

"Very upbeat and happy place to eat dinner. The waiters are entertaining. But I do think the prices are slightly high for a Mexican restaurant."

"No menu, poor service, bad food.. What more do I need to say. Note that food offered in restauarant is not the same as the online menu. Also the interior is dim and quiet , kind of depressing."

"Gardens of Taxco is quite simply the best Mexican restaurant. It's different from the typical taco/burrito type - they serve beef and chicken plates cooked in various Mexico City style sauces and preparations. Wonderful."

"I first went there for 35 years but not recently. Old fashioned, hasn't changed which is good and bad. Lots of food, lots of courses, which is always fun. But they haven't updated the food prep in 35 years. Nothing tasted especially good. Not bad, but not good enough to want to go back. Still has memories for me, but wish they'd update the offerings a bit."
