Chicken tortilla soup
Megan M.

Overall, decent food for the price. Large portions, fresh, quick service. Not my favorite chicken tortilla soup, but still good. Nothing was standout or "wow," but overall it was a solid 3/5.

Speedy Gonzalez lunch special with no cheese
Karen L.

I'm sorry, I just didn't love this place. Went for a work lunch and left unimpressed. The service was great, everyone was so nice. But the food... oh the food. It was seriously mediocre. I felt like nothing had much flavor. I ended up drowning my combo in hot sauce and very basic salsa just for a taste. It's a fast, quick Mexican spot for people that are close by I guess.

Taco salad

This is by far my favorite Mexican food in the area. They have great nightly specials and happy hour deals. The service is wonderful and I have never had a bad meal. Their rice is the BOMB

Pollo poblano

Had pollo poblano. Delish!! Just the right amount of peppers and cheese. The salsa had fresh cilantro in it, matching perfectly with the chips

Extremely nice staff and excellent margaritas! Food is always good and nothing beats having a neighborhood watering hole.

The restaurant was busy, but our experience started poorly. The host (ginger) seated us at a table that had not been cleaned. Dirty dishes, spilled food, rice on the table and seats, and a dirty floor were all still there. When I pointed this out, he told us to sit down anyway because someone would clean it in a minute. When I asked if he was going to clean it, he said only the bussing staff could do that. We waited 5-6 minutes while the table was haphazardly cleaned. Unfortunately, the process was rushed, with food simply brushed onto the floor before the table received a quick wipe-down. It was not the level of cleanliness or professionalism we expected. After looking over the menu, we decided the restaurant was not for us and politely told the host they could give our table to someone else. His response came across as sarcastic rather than courteous. He is a business risk to Garcia's. First impressions matter, and Garcia's missed the mark. Cleanliness, hospitality, and professionalism should never be compromised, regardless of how busy a restaurant may be. Based on this experience, we won't be returning, and we believe there are many better Mexican restaurant options in Franklin. Never again!

The veggies were cooked well and not raw like I've had at other restaurants. The corn tortillas tasted like they might be house made and fresh. I also appreciated the salsa bar. The restaurant itself was clean and well decorated. However, the women's bathroom had a bottle of soap that was 95% water and didn't leave my hands feeling very clean. The hand dryer was also unplugged and there were no hand towels. What really brings my review down is the service. The service was definitely subpar. Our waitress was also the bartender and paid more attention to the people at the bar than our table. She didn't check on us throughout our meal, and only refilled my water once when she brought our food out. When we were done, we didn't know if they'd bring a bill to us or if we were suppose to go to the front desk, as she never said anything to us. Every single staff in the restaurant was on their personal phones, leaving the restaurant to take personal calls, and fraternizing more than working. We also witnessed several food safety violations including our waitress sticking her hands in her pants in the back to tuck her shirt, and another waitress playing with her hair excessively, all without washing their hands before interacting with customers again. While good food, I don't know that I'll go back given the experience we had with the staff. I really question cleanliness when behaviors like that are happening in front of customers.

The inside is cute and trendy, making it a great spot to grab a bite. The food itself was very good! I tried the pollo tacos and a side of fries, and the fries had a unique taco seasoning that I absolutely loved. We also ordered chips and queso--the queso was delicious, though the chips were a bit too greasy for my taste. The portions are pretty good, and I was stuffed when we left! A few small downsides: The prices were a little steep for what you get. The cups were small, so we had to get up for refills-- and you bus your own table, which made tipping feel a bit odd. That said, the staff was friendly, and the overall experience was enjoyable. The inside is very very clean and well taken care of. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area and looking for something fun and flavorful! Parking is free and there is plenty all around the restaurant, which is always nice when near the Nashville area! We will be back for sure. I am already craving the fries again!
