    Chicken Fried Steak
    Mimi H.

    As soon as you walk in you're greeted and you smell an amazing aroma of food. This place is always crowded. So much so, that anyone knows trying to find a parking spot is a nightmare. I honestly don't get it. The food was mediocre. The service was decent. I have no idea what is good here but I didn't like it.

    Street Tacos

    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!

    Does this restaurant serve horchata? It's my favorite drink!:)

    Horchata is listed as being an available drink on their online menu. I will have to check to see if it is on their restaurant menu in Schertz, the location that I go to. I have never noticed anyone drinking it at the restaurant. I love horchata… Read more

The plate is smaller and is made of some type of foam. I was a little surprised but since it's been a long time not eating at taco palenque, I ordered and ate the food! When I was done eating, I saw the knife and fork marks on the foamed plate (see photos). I immediately informed and show my wife my plate and asked her "is this safe to eat?" She looked at me a surprised looked and I told her, are we eating small particles of foam/plastic" when we cut our food and eat it? Her eyes opened wider and said "OMG! I think we are!". Just want to warn all customers that you may be risking your health by consuming Taco Palenque's food served on these cheap, easy to break, foamed plates. And you may be digesting these plastic in your body! Note to Taco Palenque-What test have your venue done that these new plates are safe to consume/digest with your food? Who made the decision to changed from their paper-like plate to foamed plate? Not safe!

We ordered a chorizo and egg burrito, an asada taco with egg, a chorizo taco with egg, and a chorizo plate. The main reason for the lower rating was the chorizo. It had a very unusual texture and flavor--almost more like ground chicken. It wasn't bad, just very different from any chorizo I've had before, so it wasn't quite what I expected. My husband said the burrito tasted good but had a bit too many beans. My son's chorizo plate was plentiful and he said it was good. The salsas were also really good with no complaints there, and the customer service at the drive-thru was friendly. Overall, it was a decent experience. When I rate places, I usually compare them to the best and worst I've had in that type of food. This spot definitely isn't the worst, but it didn't quite beat my favorites either. I went back and forth between giving it a 3 or a 4, but it's still worth trying, and I wouldn't hesitate to stop here again if I needed a quick bite.

They also included plenty of hot sauces in the bag, which is always a bonus. I ordered a carne asada taco, an al pastor taco, and a quesabirria. The tacos were really good, with the al pastor being my favorite of the three. I didn't love the quesabirria, though. It was a little light on the meat and loaded with cheese. That said, it's probably more of a "me" issue since I'm not a huge fan of overly cheesy dishes. If my husband had been with me, he likely would have loved it because cheese is definitely his thing! Overall, I was very happy with the food and would definitely eat here again. I'll be back.
