I'm from San Antonio m, Texas so I have to say I'm kind of snobby about Mexican food. My friend…read morewanted tacos badly so we decided to give the restaurant a try. Really welcoming and I liked how the bar area is central to the dining area. I ordered the halibut tacos with rice and beans. It was really good except the fish needed salt and the veggies on the bottom make the tacos soggy and they fell apart easily. I recommend the veggies on the top so the corn tortillas can handle it. And toast the tortillas. The rice was good and I liked the toasted flavor. It was a solid place to go. The staff was so friendly.

First off I will say that the service was prompt and excellent!…read more It was our first time to Garcia's restaurant. I have had the mini chimis from the food truck and really liked them so I thought it would be a perfect lunch place. Unfortunately the food wasn't very tasty. Everything tasted a bit off - the steak fajitas, the quesadilla, tiny tacos the meat was flavorless and my beloved chimis had an off flavor. To me the steak fajitas almost tasted a bit of teriyaki to them, which I wasn't a fan. We were really bummed and my partner mentioned we could've made it at home and it would've been tastier. I have to agree with him. The prices were pretty good too despite the rising costs of everything

I do love Serranos and they're some of the best Mexican food in town. This time we just had a…read morewildly long wait in the drive thru for pancita tacos but the tacos were missing that something special about the pork belly that makes these tacos so delightful. They're also pricy. Like $60 ish dollars for 6 pancita tacos and a side of rice. This is still my favorite rice of all time though so paying a premium for good food is worth it. Fortunately for my husband whom chipotles are too spicy for, they did put the sauce on the side.

Trivia: Recipes for molcajete salsa start with the tomatoes, peppers, and garlic being what encore…read morethey are mashed down to a salsa? I was happy to see that the menu here is more like the Northern Lights location than the 4th Avenue location. Mainly, they have the Southwest tacos here. But they were out of No Woman, No Cryo. That beer is a pretty big reason I choose this restaurant. On this visit, I tried a new salsa. Went with the molcajete, and it was tasty. Not a bit of salty. Full of flavor. Here's the rub: Chips and salsa are not complimentary at any Serranos. I always get them because the salsa is so good. But the chips are .... not great. And my tacos came out so fast, I didn't get much time to eat them. So I had a ton left. So I took them home. Cause, well 8 bucks. And, I made nachos with them. Weird thing happened. Once heated up, they tasted WAY better. I think Serranos is missing it with their chips.

If you were only looking to grab a drink at the bar and chill, then this place would easily get 4 or 5 stars. BUT if you plan on eating here it will be disappointing. First, recommended items like the ceviche are NOT sharing size and DO NOT come with chips. Second, the food overall is way too pricey for the size you get.

Like they were frozen, thawed and froze again. The sauce they simmered it in wasn't good and I'm convinced helped overcook them to a rubbery consistency. My steak was fine, but was well done vs medium rare like I ordered. I prepared myself that it likely wouldn't be cooked right, but I expected at least a little pink. I know it's not a steak house, but they cook steak for other items so I figured I'd be okay. My partner said his ranchero steak wasn't very good. He only ate it so I wouldn't feel uncomfortable eating while he waited. The meat wasn't very good he said, tasted old. He said the sauce wasn't very good either. For the rise in prices of things quality has gone down. They haven't done much for improvements - my seat had a big gash in it. Unfortunately after being a customer for many years I don't see myself returning here after 3 strikes this year of poor quality food at an inflated price. I think they should consider cutting their menu in half and really focusing on making quality dishes.

Absolutely love this place--five stars, no hesitation…read more They're cash only, and it's a small walk-in, order-your-food-and-go kind of spot. It honestly feels like a food truck, except there's a little waiting area inside where you can stand while your food is being made. Simple, no frills, and exactly how it should be. They make the best breakfast burritos in town, hands down. This is a super small, family-run business--a dad and his son--and Oscar is back there cooking everything himself. The food is fresh, consistent every single time, and you can tell it's made with real passion. He clearly loves what he does, and it shows in the quality. This is one of those places you root for. I will always, always come back.

The fried jalapeño poppers were perfectly crispy on the outside with just the right amount of heat, the beers were ice cold and refreshing, and the classic bean rice and burritos were absolutely flawless. comforting, flavorful, and generously portioned. The ambiance tied it all together. It had that warm, lively, welcoming energy that makes you want to sit, relax, and stay awhile.

My order for any Mexican restaurant is a cheese/chicken/beef enchilada with rice and beans. I like their rice and beans here, they don't put any filler in the rice like other places do. Chips and salsa are good, they usually don't offer more chips and we never asked but we ate the whole basket. Not hard to do. I also got a margarita, I got the Herradura classic, on the rocks with salt. Our waiter said to order drinks from the main menu and not the small red menu because the bartenders dont always know how to make those ones....uh ok lol. This last time for my meal I got the enchiladas rancheros. Not as good as the regular enchiladas. The sauce was chunky and basically red sauce with sautéed onions, a lot of them. We spent our money and probably won't come back. This place is like every other Mexican place we have in this town that's Tex mex. Prices are good though.

The place is a little outdated, but it's very colorful and it adds to the ambiance of being transported to another place. Staff was attentive and we got to choose where we wanted to sit. They had a paint night type of event that was ending when we got there and as we kept eating more and more people slowly started coming in. Portion sizes are huge....we couldn't finish our food. We took it back to our Airbnb and we repurposed and used the leftover food into new dishes for breakfast the next day. Was this the best Mexican food ever.... well no, but it wasn't horrible. I got the Chile Verde Burrito and it was good. I think that the dishes were basic and there was nothing that took it over the top. Nothing special, no different seasoning. Even though we didn't finish the food, we ordered dessert and shared. The flan.....OMG! Yes, yes, yes! I would go back for the flan. It tasted like it had coconut, but when we asked they said that it didn't. Hmmm, not a bad thing that it tasted like coconut in my world, it just elevated the taste.

We had a BOGO Free dinner coupon so we decided to give them a try again. I had the tamale and relleno combo. The tamale, rice and beans were very good. However that relleno was BAD. It tasted like mold. I ordered another tamale ala carte ATI make up for it. My partner had the chicken suizas and I thought they were good. He thought the chicken tasted like it was precooked and reheated like at another local chain (TK) so he was a little disappointed. I thought it was tasty... The margaritas are nice and strong which is a plus, but not enough to make me return. I think we will stick to our main spot in Spenard for Mexican food...
