Sadie's green chili is the worst, has only tomato taste and not green chili. Th OG Sadie would be sad read more

Garcia's breakfast burrito to the rescue! This burrito came out piping hot...as fresh as you can get it. Love that! The tortillas here are a bit on the thicker side, and the green chile is just chopped, it's not a sauce. Could've used a bit more potato to even out the ingredients, but it left me satiated! Service was great! In a pinch Garcias won't let you down! read more

Garcia's Kitchen - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

I haven't eaten at Garcia's in ages but when my folks suggested giving it a try again, I was all in. I got the carne adovada burrito plate. It was absolutely delicious. I had it smothered with red and green chile and it came with refritos and Spanish rice. Everything was fantastic. The service...we went through the drive-through and there were a couple cars ahead of us. The person taking our order asked us three separate times for our order. I'm not sure what the issue was, but finally another person came on to take our order. There didn't seem to be a language barrier and we were speaking clearly so again, I'm not sure what the issue was but it wasn't a big deal. We received our entire order, as ordered. I can't comment on the ambience because we didn't go inside. Every time I've been inside Garcia's though it's been clean and tidy. I will definitely be visiting Garcia's more often. Their carne adovada is top notch! Why not go and grab some right now? read more

Garcia's Kitchen - Carne adovada burrito plate smothered with Christmas! - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

The food is always good, but the orders are always wrong. I'm done with this location.

I stopped here on my way to work and got a breakfast burrito. I was surprised by how they charge and build them here. You pay for everything like cheese, potatoes, meat, chili, etc. The burrito itself was alright but nothing that's my favorite. They have better food. read more

Garcia's is one of our absolute favorite eats- living in MD, when we arrange our NM visit, we plan out multiple visits to run through all our favorite menu items- my family lives 5mins from the Garcia's 4th street location, they are our normal go-to spot, but arriving in NM around 6pm, we were dismayed to discover our favorite spot closed at 3pm- so we traveled to this location, which was open until 8pm- while both locations offer the same delicious menu, this location let us down just a bit on our 'tried & true' quality food love- ordering our favorite chicharron stuffed sopapilla & chorizo breakfast burrito smothered in xmas chili with rice & beans to go- we were saddened to discover their xmas smother was not the traditional red/green chili but a salsa- we apparently were supposed to specific chili- they also didn't put on top lettuce, tomato, onion garnish unless specified, they had an unexpected ground beef in both -in addition to the meat we selected, and their rice/beans scoops were a lot smaller overall, the meal was still delicious, as expected from Garcia's Kitchen, but it was very different from the quality we know from 4th street- and I wouldn't opt to branch out here over there again read more

Every Saturday, I head to this location for breakfast or lunch. It is wonderful. One time, I had to wait for five minutes at the window while they sang happy birthday to one of the cooks and had cake. It made my heart happy. It is so New Mexico. So real. Their tostadas, nachos, Chile rellenos, burritos, Indian Tacos, enchiladas, all delicious. The staff is kind and courteous, and patient, I've literally never had a bad experience in 19 years. I can't recommend this place enough. Oh! And buy the tortillas to take home! Soft, pillowy perfection! Also, the restaurant is super cute, inside. read more

Garcia's is always great, and one of the waitresses is exceptional. Unfortunately I can't remember her name right now

Quality,portion and size of hand held burrito. Extremely disappointing and dissatisfying! Hardly any chilie and a sprinkle of cheese. SMH read more

Garcia's Kitchen - Chicharrones, red chile and cheese - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

My kids love Garcias, if they eat here then anyone can. I need a green chili bacon burrito right now.

This is just a review on the hand held burrito because that's all I've tried from here. The burrito was a bacon green chile cheese potato burrito. There wasn't barely any chile so I can tell if it was hot or not. The burrito is mostly potato and egg with a piece of bacon at each end of it. I would pay $5 all day for this but at $9 it's a little expensive for what you get. I have to mention the tortilla on my burrito was really tasty. Looking forward to trying something else sometime. Service was great. read more

This is my go to place for take out Mexican food. I usually get the combination of tamale, enchilada, and taco. Comes with red or green. And Tortilla or sopaipilla. The line usually moves quickly in the drive thru. The portions are large, I usually save half for lunch the following day. read more

Garcia's Kitchen - Combo plate with suppose to be papas and whole beans. When I got home, it had rice and refined beans - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Wasn't too bad, decent enough probably gonna try a few more items next time. Decent for the price

One of the best New Mexican restaurants in Albuquerque. Delicious as always. If I had anything negative to say about this place would be that it's not possible to grab a burrito to go because they don't roll the ends if the burrito so if you bite into it everything will end up on your lap, so not for eating on the go, but amazing food. read more

Besides ordering a green chili cheeseburger and getting a plain cheeseburger, the food was actually alright. What really ruined it for me was the customer service. I came in around 7, mid-dinner rush. Drive thru line wrapped around and pretty much out into the street. The employee running the register was holding a full-blown casual conversation on the phone. He could've been talking to a manager or supervisor, but either way. The least he could've done was step away from the register, or say something like "be with you shortly." I stood there awkwardly for a good 5-6 minutes before he got off the phone and finally took my order. Would I come back? Maybe, for an Indian Taco. Definitely not this location though. read more

I love coming to Garcia's when I am in the city. Rose who helped me was fantastic as always and the meal was great. Ordered Karnitas Burrito handheld Christmas style and the meat was very tender and a great portions and also ordered the Nachos Supreme and again the meat was very well seasoned. Highly recommend read more

Why are the still using un-sustainable plates,knives, forks and plates!! This place is great but come on!! Garcia's killing the planet each meal! Especially since I'm not eating out this is a dine in experience that lacks on the "we care about New Mexico and future generations" read more

Always consistently good food at a fair price, love the drive through and have also used the curbside delivery. Both work great. Employees are friendly and masked. A wonderful option for when we need a chile fix. read more

Good morning ordered some garcias food this morning very sad to write a review that is other than great-aunt a stuffed sopa plate were is the chille filling is dry beans are hard and potatoes are just so bland chile fries are very small and were is the chille. This is not the quality of food I have gotten in the past can't blame covid this has to be a management. Workers there are very nice not the problem. So if u want food like this buy a TV dinner u will enjoy better .VERRY DISAPPOINTING BREAKFAST. read more

The service at Garcia's Kitchen drive-thru on San Mateo is horrible. I tried to order a lent special and was told that the "special today is the Indian Taco." When asked if they had fish, I was told "only fish tacos," so I ordered a fajita burrito. When I got to the window, there were three offerings of fish specials. I asked the very rude cashier, why I was told "only fish tacos," and she very rudely said, "First, I did not take your order," and I don't know why you were told we only had fish tacos. Then, I was told I would have to wait because fajita burritos took longer, and when I said I did not want to wait, she yelled at me, "you ordered a fajita burrito and that takes longer. I said I was not coming back, which I am not, and she replied, "OK." read more

Nice, homey establishment. But...make sure they take your order correctly. Ordered the Combination plate with a red enchilada, green tamale and soft shell chicken taco, they gave me a a Red tamale with melted cheese( the cheese was not part of the description) and a hard shell taco. The horchata comes out a machine and doesn't have that homemade taste. The tamale was really good and the chicken on the chicken taco was nicely seasoned. Although they have an outside seating area, there is no shade. read more

Two words... Carne Adovada. Whenever I go through town, I always have to get my Garcia's fix. Their tortillas are yummy. Bulk items are always great for taking home to the family. read more

How have I never reviewed this Garcia's location? I eat here way more often than I should probably admit. My obsession with Garcia's started back when they had a location inside the Student Union Building at UNM. Alas, that location is no more, so this one is now my go-to. I can drive through and get food, get home & eat it, and get back to my office with about 3 minutes to spare on my lunch hour. I always get the same thing, which is the chicken flauta plate, upgrade to guacamole dip. (Dip is actual guacamole; sauce, the thing that comes with the plate, is green liquid that has some dairy in it. Probably sour cream. It's not bad, but I'm dairy free now and can't eat it.) It's delightful AND it's cheaper on Tuesdays and Thursdays due to the daily special. The location is a little hard to get in and out of, which is why I almost never park to go inside. The drive-thru is where it's at. read more

So good. Finally excellent tortillas thank you. Great lunch. I had the Spanish omelette. And a side of sweet rice. Oh so good!

I have been buying 2-4 quarts of red and green Chile weekly for many years. Recently, I keep finding the restaurants closed and when they are open it's just so slow now, inside and in drive through. read more

Really great atmosphere and food! Temperature was perfect and service was very fast! I would definitely return. read more

I had read really good things about this place, so I knew I had to try it. This location has a drive-thru which I thought was perfect, but then had to wait about twenty minutes in line. I ordered the breakfast burrito with bacon and eggs smothered in green chile. The tortilla appeared home made. It came with a side of potatoes and refried beans. And then I got the sopapillas also! Everything was tasty, and I was super full! read more

Good food, love the Brisket tacos family favorite. Getting home late or tired comfort food fast.

Food is good but the people taking orders are not paying attention or comprehending. If you order from the drive thru check your entire order because it's probably wrong. Also, when I called to notify the restaurant, instead of being apologetic for the mix up, the lady argued with me, it was totally over her head. Poor customer service. Just check your order! read more

Always a great place for a NM meal! We love, love, love their queso! I always have the brisket tacos because they are yummy! The brisket is cooked perfectly. We love both the refried and whole beans. The sopa are yummy too! My husband loves the burritos because they are large and the ingredients all mesh well. The guac, chips and salsa are all wonderful. Try Garcia's I think you will love it! We always call in our order and go through the drive thru so I can speak to the interior of the restaurant. One tip is to check your items before you leave the window as we have missed items a couple of times. Enjoy! read more

I am form out of town and the restaurant was highly recommended by my hotel. I read e reviews and based on those I selects the Green Chili stew. They should call it Soup. Not much beg and plenty of potato's. Don't wSte your time or money. read more

Service was awful and the food was way too expensive. Went through the drive through to get a breakfast burrito. $7.50 for the tiniest burrito. The cashier cussed at me. The manager said the owners raised the prices when I went inside for a refund. I'll never go back. Went up the road to Stipes and got a burrito for $4.50 - twice the size and nice service. read more

Garcia's on San Mateo and Candelaria, you have always done me right. I generally get take-out from your incredibly efficient drive-thru at this location, but I have eaten-in here many times, and also your location on 4th Street. You never forget my side of sour cream, and for that I am eternally grateful. Your food tastes like real New Mexican to me; your green is spicy, your sopas are hot and tasty, your servers are friendly and attentive. I'd like to take this opportunity to wish the hateful "Brad S." a none-too-soon Bon Voyage from our unique city. From disparaging great local places like Garcia's, calling our town "dumpy", and just generally shitting on most of the places he visited here, I'd just like to say, I hope you enjoy returning to the class and culture from which you hail. Good riddance, fuckwad. read more
