Garcia’s Family Mexican Restaurant

Garcia's is kind of local for me and that means that I will be going back soon. Our server was very nice and he knew the extensive menu well. The chips and salsa were kept full and the drinks were too. The music wasn't loud and the entire place seemed spotless. It gets busy here, but they handle it very well and we had plenty to eat and drink our entire visit. The beers were ice cold and my enchiladas were hot when they arrived. I will eat here over and over again.

My friends and I went here for some dinner and drinks a couple months ago and it was awesome.We ordered our drinks to start off and boy, were they tasty! The margs are awesome.The employees are all super nice and accomadating.For food, I had the chimichanga, and it was dang good. The queso was great.I hope I come back here soon because I want to try other things on the menu and of course, get a few more margs.

Wow this place is great! Went on a Tuesday evening and they had a full house. After our meal I know why they were packed full on a weekday!Service was top notch. I had the Garcia Margarita which is homemade. So refreshing! The chips and salsa were delish! I ordered one shredded beef chimichanga, and one Garcia chimi. The shredded beef was super tender and flavorful. The carne Azada in the other one was surprisingly tender for carne Azada and you definitely could taste the charcoal cook. Yum! The blanco queso was a great addition.We will definitely be back again. The menu is huge and can't wait to try something else next time. It's a nice drive outside of Omaha and only 23 minutes from my house!

We stopped in for dinner this weekend. The place was fairly busy and it was clean. I enjoyed the decor. Our server wasn't very attentive, but it was a Saturday so I'm sure he was all over the place. My food was pretty good, i tried the pork carnitas street taco and a chalupa with beans and rice. My chalupa was more like a taco salad, fork and knife situation haha. It basically fell apart first bite. Overall it was still good flavor wise. I could of used some hot salsa, but our waiter was scarce and I was to impatient to wait. Lol. It was still tasty. We also had chicken taquitos and bean flautas. Everyone else enjoyed their food as well. I think next time I'll try something else, probably one of the house specials, I did see a lot of plates that went by with some tasty looking meals.

Great service, fantastic food, and very cute ambiance. Do yourself a favor and don't miss out on this one.

Food and service were great as always. Warm and inviting atmosphere. We tried the chicken tamale and it was really good!

I've been here before and the food is good but last night (9/6/24) I had to leave before being seated. I was there just before 7 pm and they were packed, no one was waiting ahead of me and I was told by one person that the wait time would be only 5 to 10 minutes, about 5 minutes later I was told by a different person that the wait time was going to be about 10 to 15 minutes. I get it, you can never tell when people are going to get up and leave so that, although irritating I could have gotten over. The reason for only one star is that it was so loud in there that even standing by the door I was unable to have a conversation with the person I was with. I feel I need to drive this issue home, I'm sure that the noise levels were at the hearing damaging levels. When you are standing right next to someone and you have to raise your voice for them to hear you it's entirely too loud. How can anyone possibly have an enjoyable meal in that type of atmosphere. People building restaurants need to put sound dampening stuff in the restaurant so these things don't happen. As for me, I'm not sure if I'll ever go back, it's just not worth the hassle of possibly loosing some of my hearing to eat their food.

We ordered take out from here after hearing from friends that the food and margaritas were really good. Garcias far exceeded our expectations. The food was phenomenal and the margaritas were amazing even to go. When I drove there from council bluffs I couldn't believe how busy they were. This place was hopping even had a line out the door. It's not every day you see a tiny drive through town with a restaurant this amazing but Garcias did not disappoint. The portions were generous. Prices reasonable. I can't wait to go back.

An AMAZING find and well worth the trip. Taking a Sunday drive in the Iowa countryside, we stopped at Garcia's in Underwood,IA. I had heard great things from several people. We arrived at almost 4:00 and it was the perfect arrival time. We were seated immediately. Ti assume the gentleman who seated us was the owner, He had a gravitas about him and it felt like we were being welcomed into his home as honored guests. The tables and booths look like they were hand carved in Mexico and had an authentic feel. The menu is expansive with many choices. I had the bacon wrapped shrimp and it was heaven. I am not sure how the bacon was crispy and wrapped around the shrimp while covered in cheese. At $13 it was a good value. Not a thing at all to ding Garcia's for. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Never have had a bad meal at Garcia's. Best margaritas- they make their own margarita mix with fresh fruit and one will give you a buzz! Nicest owners... they are very accommodating with great service. We don't even have to order our margaritas... they know what e want!!
