Garcia's Mexican Restaurant - Cool Springs

My go to Mexican in the cool springs area. My kids love it. The staff and hostesses are ALWATS friendly.Salsa is amazing and a top reason to my returning status. Consistency is key in my book. I'm coming in to get what I always can rely on -fresh salsa. Quesadillas are a fan favorite in our house (aside from the queso dip). Yumm I'm getting hungry. Ambiance is a more modern, street fusion-Mexican. They have a great patio (in a shopping plaza) which is unique to other restaurants in this area.

Great place for Mexican Food! If you have not been there in a while you need to check out the new out door seating! Great place to go in good weather!! Margaritas are very good, several to choose from, I got the El jefe! Chip and salsa are very good. Add some Cheese Dip for the chips, if any is left over use for your entree. My fav is the Sizzling Baja, the flavor is amazing! Warning it is sizzling HOT!

I really love meeting friends here after work, it's a quality Mexican spot in the heart of Cool Springs. The food always tastes fresh and authentic. The salsa has a good cilantro homemade taste, chips are perfectly crisp and warm. I usually order a skinny margarita & the tequila lime chicken plate, it's one of my favorite meals. The flavors are a delightful burst in the mouth! The service is kind & attentive. We enjoy the air conditioned patio with plenty of sunshine and people watching! Also, parking is never an issue bc it's a large plaza beside Target! Pro tip - if you're meeting girlfriends, hop next door for a mani/pedi after!

I had a terrible experience at this Mexican restaurant. The food was bland and tasteless, and the portions were extremely small for the high prices they were charging. A long with that I got enough chicken for one tortilla. The chicken also was mushy like it was frozen then cooked. It tasted like it was sitting there for 3 days. The service was also terrible, with the waitstaff being rude and inattentive. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for authentic Mexican cuisine.

Ordered some food from this location for one of my doctors offices and then ordered the carne asada for myself! It was fabulous, though I wish there was more meat. I should have asked for double meat because it came with 3 small pieces, but what was there was fabulous!!!

Met up with some friends here for the first time and was pleasantly surprised with the food. It was authentic and very fresh! I had the Shrimp Tacos & the portion was very hearty! Their Salsa is also super fresh & oh so yummy! I would have loved to add a few more stars to my review but I always base my impression on the service & experience which I feel was not so pleasant. We got there at 6:30 on a Saturday night & it was not crowded. Our server rushed us to place our order & then at 7:45 the bright closing lights ( ugly lights) came on and we knew it was time to leave. No bueno! I will be going back here for the food & maybe take out but Garcia's is definitely not on my list for a night out with friends! There are plenty of restaurants in the area that are more welcoming!

Fine Mexican food in Cool Springs area in front of Target. Been here several times, liked the tacos and the taco salad, and prices were quite reasonable. Service is friendly. Recommend outside under cover on a nice day!!

Passing thru the area on a long drive and decided to meet my brother in law and family for dinner as they live in Nashville. My request: near the interstate, Mexican, super fast. Now I should have known 'super fast' would depend on how long my wife chatted with his. Food came in 10 minutes. Took us an hour and a half to drag everyone out so I could continue the next five hours of the drive!Atmosphere was great - not too fancy but not as 'dumpy' as most Mexican strip mall restaurants are. To be fair, I like dumpy. It it was a nice step up without adding cost or reducing quality or portion size.Food was great. Their salsa was perfect which is really what drives my love of Mexican places. I ordered nachos which were just ok but everyone else loved their meals and I sampled. I simply ordered the wrong thing. Service was super quick and all in all I would repeat if in the area again.

Had a club meeting here. They sat us outside; they didn't have room to seat the 17 expected attendees. Was a bit chilly but most geocachers were prepared for adverse weather as usual.And of course, arrival times varied so not all things went smoothly, but staff was friendly and supportive. One guest was missed when orders were taken, but she actually was one of the first to be served.Food: I ordered the Quesadilla Garcia and was very happy with it! Everyone else seemed very pleased with the quality and speed of delivery (and the staff knew where most dishes were to go without asking!).Service: see above. Happy, friendly, management kept checking on us!Ambiance: can only speak for outside - very nice. . I am not going to joke that the A/C could have been turned down a bit.Would be happy to return here!

Garcia's is hands down the best Mexican restaurant in Franklin! The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and authentic. From their delicious tacos to their perfectly seasoned fajitas, every dish is top-notch. The service is always friendly and fast, making for a great dining experience whether you're grabbing a quick bite or sitting down with family. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and their margaritas are some of the best around! If you're in Franklin and craving Mexican food, Garcia's is a must-visit. Highly recommend! Valentina Sarai
