The food was excellent. The young man waiting on me was phenomenal! He was pretty darn busy, and he kept a smile on his face the whole time! He seemed to be the only server there, and he didn't stop moving once! I didn't catch his name, but ya'll are lucky to have him! I visited Tuesday 1/2/23 around 3pm!!!

Passing through for work, I was pleasantly surprised with a welcoming staff! Restaurant was clean and inviting, menu looked tasty! I ordered the brisket taco and enchilada. It was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend!

Great food and even better selection of bourbon. The staff was very friendly and helpful, I will be making this a regular spot from now on. We enjoyed the sampler platter and we're not disappointed, the desert was beyond incredible, I can't wait to explore more of this menu and hopefully more of their bourbon selections. The bourbon was served in a glencairn although they do offer to serve on the rocks if you prefer. Overall this was a very positive experience and potentially one of the best Mexican restaurants in the Northshore. This is also a family friendly atmosphere and a great place to take the whole family.

I ordered two chicken soft tacos in the drive-thru. After paying, I had to ask for my receipt. When I checked it later, I had been charged for beef tacos with an additional charge for substituting chicken. If that's the way they want to do business, I'm done with TB.

Now I've tried all the major Mexican places in the area... Now I will admit to reading others reviews on Mexican places and gave it a whirl The sign right in front of the entrance (Pictured) "and I already knew I was in for a treat. The queso here is phenomenonal as is the complementary chips, salsa and bean dip. With a Slight spicy zing to it. Happy hour is 2-6 @ and while there isn't alot of variety to the drink list the 'caddy Rita is well worth Lot of other absences. The steak chimichanga was excellent as everything else was all recommended by my waitress... The atmosphere has excellent decor, even a nice set of couches to sit outside in more favorable weather but could use a bit of umph in the music Staff was kind and friendly. Even ran my wallet out to me when I forgot it The brisket quesadilla on trip 2 along with the lava flow were amazing

Enjoyed an afternoon of fun with good friends. My first time at Garcia's was definitely a hit. Had good Margaritas on the rocks, excellent chips and salsa and had two hard shell tacos that were great. Will definitely visit again.

Lunch today having the seafood enchiladas was delicious. Out server, Briana Misita, was amazing. The manager even came by our table to make sure all was ok. If you go for lunch between 11-2, request Briana. You’ll have the best service!
