After reading all the other reviews here, I decided to check this place out for myself. I wish you could rate based on food and service seperately. I would give the service 5 stars, and the food a 1 or 2. I was barely in my seat when I was served with chips and salsa. Immediately after the chips came, the waitress was at my table with a bowl of potato soup (it comes free with lunch on weekdays). The potato soup was excellent, and I was hopeful that the whole meal would be as good. But then I got to the chips. They were way too thick for my liking, almost as thick as a saltine cracker. The salsa (and I use the term loosely) was more of a runny red liquid...I found 2 little chunks of tomato in it. The flavor of the chips/salsa wasn't too bad, but not great either. I ordered the chicken enchiladas because the menu says they are "generously topped with melted cheese and homemade sauce". I guess their idea of generous and mine are two different things. There was maybe a tablespoon of cheese on each enchilada and by the time I got to the second one, there was not a drop of sauce left on the plate. That was really a shame, because you needed the sauce to dip the oh-so-dry chicken in....so I had to pour on some of the (red liquid)salsa so I could finish them. As someone else mentioned, the refried beans obviously came from a can...and sadly, they were the best part of the meal, aside from the soup (which wasn't Mexican). This is one place I'll never return to. Oh and one more thing...be careful if you use the salt!! I was going to sprinkle a little salt in the salsa and a TON of it came out all at once!

Really good service and the food is pretty good. They also have some of the best margaritas.

This is one of our family's favorite restaurants. Always friendly when I place a carry out order and awesome service inside.

WAY OVERPRICED! I'D RATHER DRIVE TO DETROIT TO GET GOOD MEXICAN FOOD!

The salsa tasted like spaghetii sauce! I'm from California and have actually eaten REAL Mexican food. This place is an insult to Mexican food!!! Try The Blue Margarita on Allen by Walmart instead.

Great Mexican food. I have been going since early 90's when I worked in the area. I no longer work in the area, but if I want the best Mexican food in the around, this is where I go. It now takes me 40 minutes to get there, and it's well worth it. Go early unless you want to wait. You can always have an excellent margarita while waiting.

They have the best Chimi-changas and I love the guacamole and bean dip! Fajitas are delicious, too.

No one is perfect, but if you are looking for close to perfection then Mexican Gardens is the perfect place for it. As soon as you walk into the place the atmosphere just makes you feel like home. With all the friendly smiles and barely a wait period, you wont be let down.The service is fast, good and superb! With never having to ask for a second refill, the experience you will get is outstanding! The food is so tasteful and mouthwatering, you will not be disappointed. With reasonable prices, outstanding quality, and friendly service, where can you go wrong! Mexican Gardens is the place to be!!!

Forget going downtown to Mexican village, this is it...actually better. The food is incredible. Their service is friendly and fast. Dining in or carry out, there has never been a bad experience. This is truly a gem amoung the many restaurants in this area. Family of four can eat very well, take home leftovers and have a great time in a pleasant atmosphere, all for under or around $40. Best deal, mexican food or not, in town!

I have been going to this restaurant for years! The food is Great and the service is very good! They just recently gave the building a new facelift... so now it's even better! If you like mexican food, then you're in for a treat!
