About
The Jardín Escondido, or Hidden Garden, has wonderful covered and open-air seating in a large, central garden and courtyard at the interior of its namesake hotel. When the weather's nice, I love the heavy wrought-iron tables, with canvas shade umbrellas, out in the center of this spread. The heart of the menu is Mexican cuisine, with everything from burritos and enchiladas to spicy, dark chicken mole. But there are also some pizzas and pastas, as well as a few local specialties. On Saturday nights there's usually live music.
