Galveston locals Jake and Sofia Rodriguez opened El Jardin Mexican Cafe in 1985 and it quickly became a cornerstone of the community and active participant in the city’s civic life. Thirty years later and El Jardin is still bringing Galveston terrific food and the kind of relaxed, friendly environment that turns every visitor into a regular.

The owners invite you to stop in with the family, chat with the regular crowd and enjoy some of Galveston’s best Mexican food for breakfast or lunch.
