In Short
The cozy offspring of the larger El Jardin down the block, this popular stop has a wall of windows facing Clark Street. During summer, open windows bring breezes and street sounds to casual margarita-sipping revelers. The menu offers tacos and burritos, plus unique lechon--juicy, slow-roasted pork, available sliced as an entree or as a filling. The Super burrito is aptly named: beans, meat or sauteed vegetables with cheese, tomato and avocado in a 14-inch tortilla.
