We stopped in during our road trip. Everything was great. Salsa wasn't spicy but the flavor was great. The food had a perfect balance of flavor. Everything was nice and fresh and coffee tasted great. The service wasn't bad. It is a small business so the service was what you would expect from a smaller restaurant. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There weren't many people there so it was nice and quiet.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We had a nice and relaxing meal.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We would definitely come again! read more

Food- large and in charge. You won't regret eating here. Food is cooked to order and piping hot in a blink of an eye. I got an asada and shrimp taco with rice. I usually eat once a day during the week and was not disappointed. While it's not extraordinarily the best tacos I've ever had, it was decent, especially with there home made salsa. Spicy and tangy to balance out the meaty. I love rice and they gave me more than enough. I walked away with no regrets and a full belly. I will be back. Service - just the right balance of kindness and attentiveness. Never rushing or pushy. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cleanliness- bathroom was clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Parking- decent amount [[HIGHLIGHT]]AC - works great in 110 plus heat[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Garcia's Restaurant - Two tacos and rice. Enough to last 24 hours! - Mexican Near Me - Blythe, California

We missed our Blythe exit and had to turn around and this is were we ended up, hangry and all that. Good was delish; I had sope and fish taco combo and my beloved enjoyed huevos rancheros. Coffee was great; chips freshly made, salsa had a little kick, enough to reminds us we're ALIVE. If we're crossing 'round these parts, we'll be sure to stop at Garcia's for good Mex Food. read more

There really aren't that many restaurants in this town and we were reticent to try Garcia's but they had margaritas, so off we went. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The first hint was that the parking lot was packed on a Thursday night.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We entered through their barroom and it was standing room only. We made our way to the restaurant seating area and same thing--standing room only.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] However there were seats at the counter so we sat there. The service was very fast with a good selection of authentic Mexican food and drinks. I had the chili relleno and D had the chili verde burrito. Mine was so good and D described his as if it had been made by someone's abuelo --huge and full of flavor. If you're heading through Blythe, stop at Garcia's. You won't be disappointed! read more

The chips and salsa was phenomenal. Authentic and fresh. It's the only reason I'm giving this place 2 stars. The service.....some of the worst I've ever had. It took about 20 minutes to get 2 waters and some chips and salsa. We waited another 40 mins for 1 carne asada plate that never even showed up, so we walked out after we saw the table next to us get their food even though they came in 20 minutes after us. I do not recommend coming here if you are in a hurry. They need help. The phone rang off the hook the whole time we were there and nobody answered. read more

Garcia's Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Blythe, California

This review was overlooked so kinda a late posting!!! This place was our to go to Mexican Cuisine when we visited Blythe last Summer in June and July!! Indoor seating is very limited and lunch time gets crowded ! We are lucky to always find a table for us . Although covered outdoor seatings are available we dared not dine outside due to extreme heat !!! Food are served in big portions so beware!! Lol you will sure get sooooo full! I tried their Beef stew soup which was super flavorful like our Filipino "Nilaga" ... Meat was tender and medley veggies included corn on a cob my fav to nibble !! Soup is always my comfort meal anytime of the day and of all season !! Love ! love ! Love ! love their fresh Pineapple Drink which is not watered down with ice and with every sweetness sip you get those fresh blended pineapple fruit pulp ! it really quenched my thirst on a scorching hot weather of 100 degrees !!!!! read more

This is my go to spot when driving through Blythe, CA. The food is authentic and delicious. They recently moved from a small location about a mile away to a significantly larger location since the other place was usually very crowded and the wait was long. The ambiance is casual and expected for a very small city in the middle of the desert. The restaurant is within 5 miles from the California, Arizona border. The portions are very generous and full of flavor. The staff is friendly and experienced. read more

Re Visited 7/30/2024 Dinner In Blythe last night. Excellent Mexican Food. It's been awhile since I've been here and I must say I'll be back. The Beef Fajitas were Very good. I tried A Fried Fish Taco that was a big surprise. Very Tasty. Also a Carnitas Taco, a Shredded Beef Taco, and a Bean & Cheese Tostada. All were delicious. Chips & Salsa and Beans & Rice were both Winners. We will be back. read more

Great food off the beaten path. Needed some breakfast food on the way home from Arizona & found this little gem. Ordered a couple of breakfast burritos. One was an egg, beans and home-style potatoes, the other chorizo. Hands down the chorizo burrito is the one to get! Burritos are a healthy portion wrapped in a tasty flour tortilla! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The dining area is like old school diner, clean and without any fluff.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Staff is friendly and not a long waiting period. Found the prices are very affordable. Stay away from Del Taco and go to Garcia's. If I'm going to Arizona , I'll stop in at Garcia's. Recommend. read more

Came across Garcia's Restaurant while in town and picked this restaurant based on their positive Yelp reviews!! The restaurant itself is old and small but wasn't busy at the time of my arrival. I was served complimentary chips and salsa which were good but not great. Ordered the Chicken Chimichanga which I haven't had in a very long time and was another reason I stopped here for dinner. After a short wait my entree was served and here is my review. The Chimichanga was huge and quite tasty. The chicken inside was juicy and to my liking. The rice and beans were okay just like the chips and salsa but nothing to write home about. The red sauce with the chimichanga had a nice kick to it and had my nose running during my entire meal. Both the side of sour cream and avocado made a nice addition to the chimichanga and they paired well. 4.5 stars for reasonably priced & tasty food plus friendly service! I'll be back. Enjoy and Buen Provecho!! read more

Garcia's Restaurant - Seafood salad - Mexican Near Me - Blythe, California

Food was great, our server never refilled our drinks. In fact we never saw her again until our dinner was finished. She asked if things were ok, and so fast , she left so went to the cashier and she refilled my drinks. The small tip is the reason. Maybe Beyonce will realize that her tip reflects her bad service. read more

The food was delicious, food arrived very quickly once the waitress took our order. The refried beans and rice portion is quite generous, usually other Mexican restaurants just put on a thin layer just enough to cover your plate. This place is a must pit stop when I'm in town. read more

Warm friendly welcome. Really good service and really good authentic food. Tried other places but both food and service not at par with them. It can get crazy at peak hours and maybe will have to wait for seats but it's all worth it. Only take away is place being small. There's patio seating but in extreme weather, heat especially will not be a good company to enjoy food. Will definitely stop by when given a chance. read more

Amazing! Simply amazing! You have to stop by if you're passing through or staying in Blythe. Perfectly salted chips are brought by friendly staff before your food. And the food, oh where do I even begin! Rice and beans are delicious, enchiladas and tacos perfectly cooked and filled with meat. I will forever sing the praises of Garcia's Restaurant. read more

Love the new location! What a great building, the old Courtesy Coffee Shop . Classic mid century mod diner and the lounge area in back in downright SWANKY. Glad Garcia has given the building a second life . Wish they would serve breakfast food read more

This was a very authentic tasting Mexican food restaurant. We walked there from our hotel, and it was great. There was a long line to be sat, but we got sat pretty quick. The food did take awhile to get to us, and the chips were cold w the chips and salsa. We had cheese enchiladas and a taco. They were pretty good. The staff was very friendly and we felt welcome. I would recommend Garcia's, and will would go back. read more

I preferred the smaller location last year. They used to acknowledge you as you walked in and had you sign in on a sheet to reserve your place in the restaurant. We tried to eat here at the new location twice this weekend. The first time, we walked in through the bar entrance, and although there were empty tables, a server came out and said everyone needed to go to the restaurant to check in. Confusing that there are two entrances with no direction. We went to the front and were met with a lobby full of guests waiting and no one at the counter to take our name. The second try...we came in through the restaurant door and were immediately told, yes, there are tables available in the bar. Once in the bar, all the empty tables were dirty. We were moving a few glasses to another table so that we could take a seat. A server came out and told us to stand, and they'd clear a table soon. After awkwardly standing in the bar for about 15 minutes without any further acknowledgement, while several servers came through to hug patrons, bring food and drinks to those who are probably their local clientele, we left. Disappointed with the arrogance and disregard by the staff and the entire experience. Won't be back. read more

Food was really good, but service was absolutely terrible! I don't think I've ever seen such bad service. No one would acknowledge us. We finally sat at the bar and then we had to practically beg someone to make a drink for us and then again to take our order. There were tons of servers working, but mostly they were talking to each other and joking around and ignoring us read more

Oh the pork tamales!! Yum!! Authentic and with a chili verde sauce on the side!! Oh soo good!!! They make good Spanish rice and good refried beans!! If you're passing through Blythe it's just a little down the freeway and worth the stop. Sister had Pozole and she gave it an 8. She did have to add salt. If I ever pass by again I will stop by! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]We enjoyed a late lunch sitting outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Good food and service. Will stop there again if we're in the area.
