Garcia's has always been a favorite, but the recent updates to their "to-go" area and bar took the experience to a whole new level. The revamped space features an Instagram-worthy greenery wall adorned with a glowing "Did someone say Garcia Rita?" sign that is both fun and stylish. The lighting is bright, yet inviting, and the upbeat Spanish music creates a vibrant, energetic atmosphere.I love that the restaurant still feels like the Garcia's we all know and love, but the modern touch just makes it bit more special. Even the glasses got an upgrade!!! Tonight, Ingrid helped me pick my meal from the three options I had in mind. She went with the street tacos, and they did not disappoint--absolutely delicious! Can't believe I'd never tried them! Of course, I had to pair them with the classic charro beans, which remain a tried-and-true favorite for me (gotta add a bit of pico de gallo to set them off just right!). If you haven't visited Garcia's lately, you're in for a treat--this is the update we didn't know we needed!

Spinach enchiladas are just okay. I had to use a lot of green salsa to make them just okay. Red salsa, or AKA canned tomato, has no heat. The tortillas had an unpleasant taste. I have to return on the 13th, and I hope someone will have some suggestions what is good.

OMG I Love their chips!!Fun fact I found out, the owner and family went directly to the tortilla chips manufacturer out in San Marcos's I think. Where they tested multiple kinds of chips until they all agreed on the chips they have now. Then they bought the exclusive rights to that chip recipe. So Garcias is the only place you can find that chip!That's awesome!Food was good always. Service was okay.We sat in the bar area and ate, a lot going on so some things were missed. No worries, still had a great time and had had some great food.

The food was beyond great!Our waitress and servers took good care of us. The place was authentic. I thought I was in Mexico.

Food was decent. The meat seemed super salty. Waitress was nice but really slow. Wasn't super busy or anything so dont know why the slow service. Maybe try this again and see if better food and service

Today I ordered an off-menu Shrimp Burrito, it was delicious. As usual, the service was quick and our Server Catalina was wonderful. We sat outside since the weather was cooler and the noise level is lower than inside. Garcia's also has great Margaritas. So give Garcia's on 3009 a try and as always - Eat in Good Healt

Great food. Everything I've tried besides one dish was delicious. The staff are on top of all the drinks and foods and requests. The managers seem to be very hands on and help with most tables. Managers also come by and check how everyone is doing. The atmosphere was lively maybe a lil loud but what can you say, it's good food. . (That one I didn't like was just soggy, asking for the sauce on the side would have fixed my problem)

Ambiance was great, people seemed to be enjoying their food. Sadly, for me is the first Mexican restaurant I go to and don't have Horchata, and the chips are not done in house, they are store bought. The service was great and everyone was happy but the food was not what I was expecting.

Food is good prices are decent I grew up going to the original Garcia's in San Marcos as well another Mexican food place in town. Lots of memories here and when I moved back had to bring my kiddos here as well !!
