Any of the Garcia's Cafe is awesome, gotta try it!

This place was absolutely yummy!We tried the stuffed sopaphilia, the carne avado, and green chili stew! In my opinion the stew was the best dish followed by the avado!The service was so amazing, our server Maria was a delight and I am happy we got sat her in section! It's a very cute establishment and I loved the ambience!

I had my first visit on Jan. 24, 2025. There is plenty of parking; I went just past noon, and it was clear from the lot that this is a popular spot. The decor is friendly and colorful, helpful and friendly staff. I was seated immediately. The tabletops display very colorful art. The menu offers many New Mexico food items; I went with tacos, beans and rice. The tacos were delicious and I had corn hardshell tortillas. The shells had a nice crunch and held together well. (ever have a taco shell break into Tinkerbell's fairy dust with one bite?). The salsa has just a hint of heat. Refried beans were perfect. The Mexican rice was fluffy and had subtle flavors. I just moved into this neighborhood and will be a regular here

Ok, so being in New Mexico you have such a variety of places included Mexican restaurants, however if you want great food and that homey feel this is the place for you. You get greeted at the door and the wait staff and amazing and very friendly. I love menudo and miss my grandparents but this place has it and it just warms you from the inside and out. I have been back to Garcia's now 3x and I am never disappointed with anything I have ordered. This place is a must.

I think what makes this place so great are the people who work here. It's genuinely warm people and that really makes or breaks an experience for me. We are visiting NM and came here for brunch. The server recommended the Indian Taco with green Chile and it did not disappoint. I've never had one before but it hit the spot for a savory meal which is my jam. Casual vibes for sure and lots history on the walls. We enjoyed our time here and were all so stuffed but hopefully we can make it back one more time before we head back to California!

Great mom and pop local restaurants, the food is classic New Mexican food. I had the Alicia Breakfast 2eggs over easy green/red chili with refried beans, hash browns and sopopillas. It was delicious. The chili was medium in heat and the sopopillas were fresh. The service was good and our waiter was attentive. The restaurant was open concept nothing out of the ordinary. I recommend this place if you are in the neighborhood. I will be visiting again.

I was pretty impressed with this restaurant. Staff was helpful, attentive and friendly. Atmosphere was nice and food was excellent. I thought the price was very reasonable for the amount of food I received. I ordered the combination plate with a taco, tamale, enchilada, rice, beans and soppapillas. Everything was excellent. The menu has other items that were also tempting such as the nachos, tostadas and burritos which I will try next time.

The service was very good, and the place was super clean. But the food was yuk. I ordered a Combo plate to go, and I just couldn't eat the food. Sad. Will never go back. //// Update: Within a few hours, I had more than a casual acquaintance with my bathroom, if you get my drift, and I'm sure you do. Lasted approx 12 hours. NOW I am angry too.
