El Jardin Tequila Bar

After a retirement luncheon at a restaurant in Santana Row, ten of decided to take to come here with the new retiree for a drink to toast his retirement. El Jardin is an open air restaurant and bar. We were seated at a long high-top table and to order, you scan the QR Code at the table to pull up the menu.With a long drive back home, I opted for a non-alcoholic drink and got a Pina Co-Nada. It was a refreshing pineapple and coconut juice over ice topped with some whipped cream and coconut flakes. It was perfect drink after a heavy lunch meal. It was a nice environment with the trees and bushes and heat lamps.Restrooms were about 100 ft away around the corner from Left Bank Brasserie before the stairways to the garage.Nice outdoor bar restaurant with good drinks and friendly service.

We came on a Saturday night and was able to be seated right away. They had live music but I prefer sitting a bit far away so it's not too loud. They serve tapas but the portions are quite big and filling. We also got one cocktail each but they ended up making them twice and gave us the extra! Other restaurants probably wouldn't give us the extra ones, so it was nice of them to offer them to us.

El Jardin Tequila Bar at Santana Row is such a fun spot! The outdoor patio has a great vibe, and the lively atmosphere makes it perfect for a night out. Their tequila selection is impressive, with everything from smooth añejos to smoky mezcals, and the margaritas are some of the best I've had. The tacos and nachos are flavorful and pair perfectly with the drinks.That said, it can get pretty packed during peak hours, so expect a wait if you don't have a reservation. Also, while the menu is delicious, it's a bit limited, especially if you're vegetarian. Still, it's a fantastic place to hang out and enjoy great drinks and food.

I was not a fan of this place at all. I went on a Friday night and the music was so loud I could barely hear my date speak. We ordered guacamole and a margarita pitcher... the total was $92. Crazy lol. What made it worse is that the guacamole wasn't even good :(The service was decent. I'm going back in the daytime to see if I feel differently.

Could only speak to the drinks, not the food since we didn't eat anything here. The ambiance is perfect in the middle of Santana Row and plenty of screens at the bar. Or is obviously a garden-ish feel. Not sure if they have beat lamps as we went when it was warm out. Service was typical. Nothing other than decor/location stood out here.

Food here was alright but is a nice vibe overall with the music and how the place is set up. Drinks were ok. They did ask for ID to my wife who fortunately for me has a younger look. I didn't get asked though lol not sure if I should like or feel bad about it ...lol

3 stars for price. It's STEEP for a marg/shot. BUT 5 stars for service/vibes for the area.My friend was having an awful day and we sat the bar, and the bartender was a real one. That alone may have me coming back.

Very good service from Vivian very nice and professional and helpful the food was good and she was fast with our order

The best chicken nachos in San Jose!! Our server Vivian Q was very polite and service was great. The ambience of this place located in Santana Row is unmatched!!

Excellent ambiance! They have live music while you're eating! I love the asada fries and drinks!! I will definitely be recommending this wonderful place to more friends! Miguel is the best waiter!
