Jardines, San Quintin
Nice sign up high and lit at night about Km. 2, heading south from San Quintin. That's just over a mile south of where the highway narrows.
The road in is a wide graded dirt road, turn left at the end of the long straight-a-way, and Jardines is hidden in the lush grove of palm trees...
We had dinner there Friday night and it was excellent... Elizabeth ordered the garlic shrimp (ajo) and I had breaded fish (emanizado). Salad was great
with an avocado base dressing... dinner included baked potato, rice and fresh veggies.
It was so good that we had lunch there on Sunday...
Garlic fish for Baja Angel and Shrimp Salad for me... Again, both meals were outstanding...
They have a full bar...
Outside are beautiful gardens... Here are some photos... First the entrance:

What?
No GPS coordinates????
Seriously, David, where San Quintin ends and Lazaro Card##as begins is difficult to tell. Where is the turnoff to Jardines from the bridge just past
Motel Chavez?
Thanks for the review. Looks like a must-do......

It is on the road to the Old Mill, look for the car hood fence where you turn right onto the dirt road. I've not had a margarita there but they must
be good, two of the four times I've been the local police were drinking 'em.
Are the peac-cks still in the garden?

It is at KM. 2 or very close... a mile + south of where the highway narrows (didn't I say this?)... This is south of both San Quintin and Lazaro
Card##as
It has it's own access road south of the Old Mill's driveway... Well signed, and it is lit up at night... (didn't I say all this also?)
I apologize for not GPSing it... It is pretty easy to get to!
Prices are quite reasonable given the quality, atmosphere, and service... all good.

My apologies, David. I read your post to mean that you were estimating that it was 2 km. south of San Quintin, rather than at marker Km. 2. You were
very specific.

Hook... no apologies needed... we read through all this stuff here and sometimes a second reading is needed, but I don't mind repeating myself...
Sorry for the sarcasm! Friends again?

Jardines Baja...
Restaurantes Jardines Baja...
The owner of that place is Guillermo... really nice guy, who used to lived at the States.
The Restaurant is run by his family... his wife manages the kitchen and the cooking and his son helps with the promotion and marketing.
Guillermo of course runs everything else.
One interesting thing is that most of the vegetables they serve at the Restaurant are grown by themselves... in the back of the restaurant, so you get
very, very fresh salads most of the time.
Also, if you go there on friday's night, they have live music, usually by a great musician named Gerardo Valverde... he plays the guitar quite
beautiful.
Their business ours are from 10:00 am to 10:00 pm (or at least they were) and about a web page... they were setting it up a couple of months
ago....not sure if they finish it yet.
If you happen to go there and Guillermo is in, tell him you know us at BajaCactus... who knows, you may get a special treat....

Guillermo and Carmen
Guillermo and Carmen have a Great restaurant. If Guillermo is behind the bar try any of the fruit Margies (all except the Passion fruit, Yecch). DW
loves the Fish with Mango Salsa, I love the Rib eye! Ask to go out back and see the gardens and Peac-cks. They actually have Albino Peac-cks, the only
place I've ever seen one. Here's a pic of Carmen and her son....Got one of Guillermo here someplace.....I'll post it later, whenh I find it.

Excellent food. We were told that the different 'gardens' are meant to represent the variety of flora found in Mexico. When we were there last time,
our waitress, born, raised and living in SQ all 27 years of her life told us longingly how her dream was to someday travel south and see the beautiful
Sea of Cortez,the beaches of Bahia Concepcion and Cabo San Lucas. We were heading south and considered kidnapping her and showing her the rest of
Baja. Hope she makes it someday.
