Rise & Shine Hospitality Group’s El Jardín restaurant in Liberty Station is undergoing a total transformation, as it temporarily shutters its doors to become San Diego’s soon-to-be favorite casual Mexican food restaurant: the new El Jardín Cantina.

Chef Claudette will not be a part of this new concept, as the new direction will enjoy a collaboration of three stellar Rise & Shine chefs, who will create a menu brimming with fresh, authentic flavors. The bar will focus on signature “margarita-forward” cocktail selections and a thirst-quenching line-up of beers and wine.   

The restaurant will close for four weeks to refresh the physical space, reopening on Wednesday August 28th, when the exciting unveiling will celebrate the opening of the new El Jardín Cantina. The changes will be lively and fresh, with welcoming furnishings and décor evoking an unpretentious, festive vibe.

Locals (and those who only get to visit San Diego) will soon enjoy a new spot to unwind during their epic Happy Hour (4 p.m.-6 p.m.) and dinner offered at El Jardín Cantina… anticipated to be everyone’s favorite casual “Mex-ilicious” destination.
