Consistently good New Mexican diner-type fare. The slow-simmered shredded chicken that they use in the burritos, quesadillas and salad is very, very good. read more

went for lunch Saturday off the Groupon offer...which is a nice deal..but while there my car was broken into and several items stolen.. not a good experience. read more

Best breakfast in town. April is an awesome waitress, and I always enjoy visiting especially when she is working :) Thank you for the awesome food and amazing service read more

We ate breakfast with a decent sized group at this good old standby. The service was pretty good, considering it was Sunday. Food was ok, nice hot chile, which I get on the side. The brisquit omelet was not bad except it really should be called roast beef because it is not smoked. Love the tortillas. Overall good traditional new mexican food. read more

Their refried beans have lard in them and their green chile, unless chopped is made with chicken broth or something meat based. Besides that, I think they are an okay place to eat if you want Mexican food and not expect something crazy amazing. I find their food rather bland, but that can't be true 100% if they are always so packed. I like that they offer french fries and if you do go there you can get whole beans and chopped green chile on a burrito. Heads up for all those vegetarians and vegans out there! read more

The food here is always consistently good. Whether it is the red enchiladas, stuffed sopaipillas or Chile Rellenos. Always go to Garcia's Albuquerque when I'm craving some good New Mexican food up North. read more

The food is supposed to be authentic nm food but it's not. The Chile has been commercialised. Not so new mexican !!

Deeply disappointed in Garcia's!!! I was given a menu that had some sticky crud on the inside. When I asked for a clean menu, the second one was just as disgusting! I ordered a simple plate with a beer and requested a glass. The waitress forgot the glass so when I asked again, she told me the don't have any beer glasses, but brought me a wine glass instead. I shared my concern with the manager and she offered me a discount, which was considerate. I just won't go back anymore. The food is not that bad but the service and level of quality is totally unacceptable! read more

I love Garcia's usually, but bought the tamales this year and they were terrible. I had family from out of town, so I was extremely disappointed read more

Great fast service and good new mexican food, I've been in a here a few times and the waitress already memorized our order. If you've been to one of those national chains instead of here you are missing out! The beans aren't vegetarian but they are up front about it and the papas are great, also they have vegetation red and green chili on request. try the huevos rancheros. I'm not sure what previous reviewers are looking for, yes this is a new mexican denny's that combined with great service makes it a great joint. If you want good reasonably priced new mexican food you can't go wrong. If you want black tie new mexican..... there's no such thing go here. read more

We always have good service and great meals here. Try their Carne Adovada as it is consistently excellent. Great place to experience good New Mexican food. And that's no bull. read more

Only had breakfast take out here and the staff was nice. My only complaint is that the flour tortillas are way to bready and fluffy. Boy is the red sauce hot! read more

The service was poor, the food was flavorless. The waiter only came to take our order. We never saw him again. Never received chips and salsa or drink refills. Will not be returning. There is better New Mexican food available elsewhere. read more

The food is good with the famous New Mexican flair. It's fast, fresh, and plentiful. The prices are reasonable and the amount of food for the price is excellent. They have to-go service and the servers are fast and courteous. My orders are almost always right. The few times I didn't get my order complete, they fixed it with a smile. I get to-go orders from there all the time. They are a good pick for a sit-down meal too. The atmosphere is casual and comfortable. I always am made to feel at home at this location. Both with the food and the service. read more

I had been coming here for years. Sadly I won't be returning. Within the last year the food has gone down hill. Don't get me wrong the staff is lovely but the food not so much. Me and my dad used to come here about 3 to 4 times a month. The last time my dad came here by himself he had told me the food was horrible. I thought maybe it was just one of those days. It can't always be perfect. So a friend and I came and we ordered and I was telling my friend how I loved this place and told her the last time my dad was here he wasn't happy. Well my friend then tells me the last time she was here there was mold on her bread! I was shocked, a little grossed out but I let it go. Our food came and it was good, the bacon was chewy so I didn't eat the rest. Well I got home and later that night I got sick. I should have listened to my dad when he told me his last experience. I'm disappointed because it was mine and my dads spot and it used to be really good! I'm giving two stars because the staff had always been great otherwise I'd give it one star. read more

Garcia's food is awesome, when it awesome. When it's bad, it's bad. Inconsistent. BEST sopas in the southwest. They are the best. The staff is wonderful, but really stretched thinly. Garcia's on Juan Tabo is a busy place. The atmosphere is fun, fun, fun. But we go there to eat, and too many times the food is lacking. Too bad, because they have the best food in town, when it's good, which is more often than not. read more

My wife and I decided to give Garcia ' s a try on Thursday and we were pleased to find delicious food at reasonable prices. We went back this weekend for breakfast, and have found our new favorite restaurant for New Mexican food. read more

Used to be pretty good, now not so much. The staff was minimal so you wait for a menu, wait to place your order, wait for your food and then wait to pay. The server who brought out my food was upset with me because my order was wrong and had to be sent back. She gave me a dirty look, grunted and yanked the plate off the table, then my chicharon had a weird taste every 4th or 5th bite. The chile was good. All in all we won't be back anytime soon. read more

This place is definitely on my top worst meals list...EVER. I heard a couple of years ago that this place was awful so I never went. I recently had a change of heart and thought to give it a try. I wish I would have trusted my instincts. I'll start off by saying that nothing is more appetizing than walking in and seeing a waiter in heavy dreadlocks. Thankfully our waitress looked normal. No chips or salsa, that's extra if you want it. Really? This is a Mexican restaurant right? When they did come it was tostitos (not chips) with a good flavored green salsa. Oh and let me mention that they have a 2 drink maximum per diner. What? Am I at fuddruckers? Not that my bf wanted more than two (usually our limit) but I found it odd. Then the meal came. Ok my daughters child burrito was the size of her plate and with everything falling out she couldn't pick it up. Big portions you say? Well that would be great if the food was actually good. I will say mine was also large (and cheap) but did they make the dish with the dishes? So bland and although I was starving I left 2/3 of my plate as did my bf with his meal. Our waitress was great but that didn't make up for anything. We left hungry and stopped by on the way home to pick up some food. Never a good sign. The cashier asked how the meal was. Ok we said but we know we will never want to go back again. Save yourself and stop by taco bell. This would be an upgrade. read more

I had to worst experience yesterday at this place. we waited a long time to be served. So finally the manager comes to take our order. Then we get our food the whole order was wrong . Then my husbands water glass had lipstick stains on the glass still . Manager never came back to check on us it was horrible grossed me out. Was very sad we were so excited to go and try this place..... read more

Garcia's on Juan Tabo has been a family favorite for years. There are many great things to say about Garcia's - the food, the service, but most importantly are the servers Tomi and April. They are the best! Today is our last day in New Mexico as we are moving to California and our family couldn't leave without having some green chili and saying goodbye to April and Tomi! Stop in and make some great friends and wonderful food. read more

WoW, I had lunch at Garcia's last sunday and was blown away with the red chili, carne adobada. Along with that the tortillas were so new Mexican that I wanted more just to clean the plate. I also purchased a dozen biscochitos that were two die for. I have no reservations in recommending Garcias to my friends when they visit Albuquerque. read more

Disappointing. Came here tonight after not being turned away at La Salita, which had a line out the door. Service was tired and mediocre, and they were out of the chile rellenos I wanted. Got the chicken flautas special and the rice was overcooked and basically tasteless. Never again. read more

Not a good experience at Garcias Kitchen tonight. First, our server was very personable and tried but the kitchen goofed big time. I ordered beef enchiladas with an egg. Got a sorry plate of tortillas and meat mush and no egg. Wife ordered a burrito plate which was served dry - no cheese. She asked for red chili on the side, which she got but nobody said to leave the cheese off. The burrito was not the typical big Garcias burrito either. Must be trimming the size of the meals. The sopapilla's were good. 6:30pm, not that busy, wonder whats going on?? read more

Not the fanciest, not the prettiest, but always consistent. Garcia's is good New Mexican food. Consistently good. Never been surprised or disappointed. Servers are friendly, and service is always above average. I know what to expect from Garcia's and always leave satisfied with the food, service, and price. read more

We're native New Mexicans, and have eaten at every NM eatery around. Everyone has their favorite, but Garcia's is the one we go to every week and sometimes twice. I'm not much on menudo etc., but I swear they have the best red and green chile in town. No flour in the green chile sauce (my pet peeve). I don't order stuff that isn't smothered in chile, so no comments on the tacos etc. They also have the best fluffy flour tortillas and sopapillas. Their carne adovada is darn good, too. The staff is friendly and service is usually quick, prices are right. The coffee varies a bit in taste, but the beer is always cold! read more

The food is usually pretty good, however the customer service is terrible. We have tried to call them on several occasions to place orders for take out and time after time they ignore the phone and we can't place orders! Finally today we called and they informed us they would not be able to take orders because they are closed...it is 2:36PM and their posted hours indicate they close at 9:00PM. Unacceptable! Never eating here again. read more

Our Fav New Mexican restaurant! The food is consistently good and service is almost always good.

The waiter had attitude, the food was greasy, really greasy. Bland, under seasoned, no fresh taste to it. This place would never survive in any town with good food. read more
