However, here's the issue: I've lived in Nanuet for over 12 years and had never stopped by until today. I didn't even know this place existed until I found it through a Google search. It's puzzling why we haven't noticed it while passing by daily. I believe the problem lies with the signage; my wife and I feel that it isn’t very effective. Coming from Route 59, you can't tell what kind of restaurant it is, and when coming from the opposite direction, you only see it as you're passing by.
I genuinely think this restaurant could thrive and become popular with a better sign showcasing that it's a Mexican restaurant. I would even encourage adding a little extra flair to the sign, as it would r...
A hidden gem located in the historic part of Nanuet township, this restaurant offers high-quality food at surprisingly low prices. Right from the moment you sit down, you'll be treated to complimentary snacks, such as a generous basket of tortilla chips and salsa. While the vegetarian options are somewhat limited, I'm able to enjoy fish and seafood occasionally, and the Caldo de Mariscos is an absolute delight! This hearty seafood soup features a thick, tomato-based broth filled with ample portions of jumbo shrimp, mussels, fish chunks, and squid slices. I often make this my main dish, and the serving size is always more than enough, especially since it comes with four handmade, warm, and de...
A hidden gem in the old part of Nanuet township. The food is of high quality while the price is low, and they give you plenty of free bites too, e.g. a generous serving of tortilla chips and salsa is presented on the table as soon as you sit down. For a true vegetarian there isn't much on offer, while yours truly can tolerate fish and seafood every now and then, and boy what a treat when one orders the Caldo de Mariscos! In a thick tomato based broth swim generous helpings of jumbo shrimp, mussels, fish chunks and squid slices. I usually order this soup as my main, and the portion is always larger than my stomach, esp. when it comes with 4 tortillas (free, handmade, warm and delicious). Last...
Absolutely outstanding authentic Mexican cuisine! They offer outdoor seating when the weather is nice. I am always impressed by their ceviche called “Vuelve a la Vida”—I order it every time. Be sure to try a dish that comes with rice and refried beans, as their refried beans are out of this world! This deserves a 6-star review, but sadly, Google only lets me give 5. The food is consistently delicious, and my experiences at Gardenia’s are always fantastic.

I am from California and a real Mexican foodie. The Cadillac margarita is perfect. The mole enchilada is a perfect balance of spice. The suadero tacos melt in your mouth. The Azteca soup is perfect. I can go on, we eat here at least twice per month and have never been disappointed.
Seems some of these places forget this type of food was on the low end of pricing... mm
Excellent lunch, generous portions and friendly service. Will return when in the area.
Best Mexican restaurant in the area. Food is always solid and service is great

This restaurant wasn’t authentic Mexican food. I was very disappointed.
The best margarita (had frozen coconut) around. ?
