I find myself sitting in the restaurant looking at taco bell and wondering why someone would eat there when they could get a nice home cooked meal 20 feet away! Looking at the first photo on yelp of the location you can tell that this is a typical mom and pop strip mall restaurant. Literally though it is a mom and pop place. The son was the waiter the mom was the cook and the dad helps out when he can come in from his other job. The service is kind of slow because of this but look past it your about to get a fresh home cooked meal! The inside has wooden tables and chairs and kind of reminds me of a deli. The food. Well to start out we got two drinks I got one which can only be compared to horchata and she got the Inca soda which tasted like bubble gum so cool! They bring you the best tasting salsa and chips I have ever had a at a South American Restaurant. Our appetizer was a South American Potato Salad. The presentations was awesome on the salad it had three olives some egg and a sauce that had me scraping it off of the dish after we had ate all the potatoes. It was slightly spicy but very light surprisingly and very comforting. For dinner we had the combo plate. It had rice, eggs, beans,steak, avocado ,sausage, pork rind, fried plantains, potato cake,flour cake, and a tomato pepper mixture sauce. OMG the combination was perfect for two of us to share. The beans reminded me of back home when my buddy's dad used to make them on their farm. I could be in heaven eating just the beans and rice. The steak was very tender and flavorful. My palate was left very satisfied. For Authentic South American Food go here. If you want to try something new go here. If you want good ol comfort food go here.

output: yum yum yum. These pasties are waaaaay better than any of the ones I ate when I lived in England (not sure if that's saying much- sorry british folk). They also have a nice selection of beer, tasty belgians that go well with a pasty.

After reading the other Yelp reviews I planned to visit this restaurant, but then I saw a listing in one of those hotel guide magazines that described the cuisine as "standard Mexican food." Standard Mexican food bores me, but fortunately I decided to take a look at Garduno's online menu. Sure they have tacos and enchiladas, but they have a lot of interesting food as well, including 5 kinds of chili, lots of interesting seafood, and even some seafood gumbos. I had the house special gumbo, which included lobster, shrimp, and scallops, and it was wonderful. Nice and spicy, with fresh fish and lots of okra and other veggies. I also tried a couple of their margaritas. They were both good, but the better and more unusual one was a coconut margarita. It was smooth and coconutty, and the rim of the glass was coated with honey and toasted coconut. Yum!
