    Brisket plate
    Allison S.

    Everything was amazing. We got seated quickly, our server was so friendly & gave us great recommendations. The chips and salsa are addicting. $6 margs during happy hour! We ordered the brisket plate and it was delicious!! The flour tortillas were so soft and we left happy and full

    Tamale plate
    Courtney B.

    We happened to find this gem while looking for a place downtown. Party of 3 seated almost immediately around 3p. The restaurant was quite packed but staff were attentive and friendly, great service the entire time. The menu is quite large with lots of great options. We did beef nacho appetizers, chicken enchiladas and tamale plate. Everything was delicious and tasted authentic. Would definitely go again

    Favorite place to eat!!! Best Mexican food in the county. Staff is fast and super nice. Prices are awesome.

    Kids pancake plate
    Brianna P.

    Garcia's is such a great spot in downtown Buda! The food is absolutely delicious and the margarita was super strong (granted, I'm a lightweight ). The staff is always friendly and the newly remodeled interior looks fantastic. We also love sitting on the covered porch which is perfect for extra seating and enjoying the atmosphere.

    Pappa Ranchera potato egg and bacon.

    I ordered a Papa Ranchera taco from Garcias Mexican in Buda, and to be honest, I was extremely disappointed. Anyone who's ever ordered Papa Rancheras here before knows exactly what to expect -- potatoes cooked in a flavorful ranchera sauce, with that signature red color and seasoning. What I received was completely different: just plain potatoes, eggs, and bacon in a tortilla, with no sauce or flavor. It looked like something thrown together without care, and definitely not what I paid for. I spoke with Esmeralda, who claimed to be the manager, and she told me this location is owned by a different family member and therefore "does things differently." I explained to her that the sign outside still says Garcias Mexican, and as a customer, I expect the same quality and consistency at any location under that name. That's part of what builds trust with a brand. Her response didn't address the issue -- and honestly, it made the experience even more frustrating. I've been a customer of Garcias for years and have always associated the name with good food and consistency. This visit did not reflect that standard. If this location is going to operate differently, customers deserve to know upfront -- or better yet, they should raise their quality to match the reputation that the Garcias name is known for.

    Shrimp fajitas
    angel y.

    This restaurant was recently reopened, and the food was absolutely delicious. I've been to another location before and enjoyed the food so I decided to give this place a try. The chips were very crunchy and complimented very well with the salsa. The shrimp were huge and very flavorful, the charro beans are highly recommended. The staff were very friendly, and the restaurant was very clean. If you're in town I recommend going to this restaurant.

    Steak Cozumel
    James K.

    My fiancé and I came here again for dinner last night, and had another great experience. Rosie was our waitress this time and she did a great job taking care of us. As for the food, the guacamole was solid. The steak Cozumel my fiancé got was really good. And the fajita quesadillas with chicken were solid, with a very large portion size. Prices were very reasonable too. Another good experience here. We will be back again!

    Garcias Deluxe
    Reuben M.

    I had the Garcia's deluxe. I've been to this location since it opened and it's consistently great. Nothing was left in that picture. It's a lot of food at a great price/. Great bang for the buck at $13.95. The waitresses was very attentive and the atmosphere here is your typical central Texas home converted into a restaurant. They play recorded conjunto/tejano music while dining in.

    Gluten-free veggie & cheese omlet
    Kristen Joy L.

    I'm never sure how it's going to go at ethnic/cultural restaurants, but since I LOVE non-American food I was up for giving Garcias a try... The waitstaff we had was awesome! She helped make sure my omelet was cooked separately so it was truly gluten free... and it was delicious to boot! Hubs had some other thing that he said was delicious and honestly, I was so enamored by my delicious, huge omelet I hardly paid enough attention to grab a photo of his food. It's a bit of a tiny place, but homey and felt like family. I'm so glad our local friend recommended it and we took time to meet her there!

I went in just hoping they'd put a salad in a wrap and they were so accommodating! The manager (I think) even confirmed each ingredient and suggested skipping the croutons which I agreed with. The wrap really hit the spot! Only small complaint was that they panini pressed the wrap which led to some limp lettuce- I didn't know the wraps would be pressed. But this was a small issue and the wrap was satisfying. The husband got a sandwich and said it was good though the bread was cut a little unevenly. All in all I'd come back for the great service alone.

Unfortunately, this time I did, and I was very disappointed by what I saw. One employee was eating behind the line where drinks were being prepared, touched her face, and then proceeded to make drinks without washing her hands. Another employee was handing out a drink and accidentally dipped her hand into a guest's drink. To top it off, one of the tools used to mix the drinks was quickly wiped with what appeared to be a dirty rag and then immediately used to mix the next drink without being properly washed or sanitized. This is a serious cross-contamination concern. The dining room was also very dirty, which made the overall experience even more disappointing. I really hope management sees this review and addresses these issues immediately. I've always enjoyed coming to this location, but what I witnessed today was extremely unsanitary and concerning, especially for a business handling food and beverages.

    My family and I went to Dos Olivos Market for dinner. My husband made a reservation but we really…read moredidn't need it. We walked in, told the person at the front our name and were seated quickly. The restaurant is nice. It includes a little market in one section with various food items that you can purchase. There is also a seating area with couches near the market section. The restaurant has different sized tables for seating. Not long after being seated we were greeted by a waiter that did an excellent job taking care of us the entire time we were there. He took our drink order, gave us menus and some time to decide what we wanted. After a few minutes he brought us our waters and took our order. We ordered several items. El Olivo which is a garlic bread. It was okay. The bread was good. It was nice and warm and the garlic flavor was all on top. Whipped Feta which comes with grilled Naan and cucumber slices. The Naan was okay. It was a little cold and needed to be warmed up a little more for my liking but my kids ate it up. The cucumbers were fresh and crisp and the whipped feta was pretty good. It had a slight lemon flavor but not enough to where you could taste the lemon with every bite. Pork belly chicharron which had pork with avacado covered in a sauce. It came with tortilla chips. The tortilla chips were thick and crispy. Perfect for scooping up some of the pork belly. The pork belly was delicious. The sauce that covered it added flavor and the avacado was fresh. The Lamb chops came with Lamb, carrots and a puree. The lamb itself was excellent. It was cooked perfectly and was tender with each bite. The carrots were slightly sweet and the puree was soft. It was a good mix of different textures with each bite. The Truffle mac and cheese was a macaroni and cheese with chives and truffle flavor. This was very tasty. The macaroni was tender, the chives were spread out and added that slight onion flavor. The cheese was very flavorful. One of my kids ate almost all of this. Barbacoa Doughnuts which are mini doughnuts filled with barbacoa topped with a salsa. I don't really like barbacoa but I tried them and was pleasantly surprised. These were delicious. It was basically a soft and warm mini doughnut filled with flavorful barbacoa. The sauce on it added a slight spicy flavor. Patatas Bravas are potatoes with salsa and a garlic aioli sauce. These were very tasty. That salsa and aioli sauce are what gave this dish all of its yummy flavor. The potatoes had a crispy exterior with a soft interior. All of the ingredients mixed together made a very good side dish. One of my sons ordered the Dos Olivos Burger with Tater Tots. He said that the burger was okay. I tried it and I agreed. The tater tots were good. He ate those up with some ketchup. My other son ordered the Fried Chicken Sandwiches with everything on the side. He substituted a salad instead of the fries. He ate the salad up. He also ate the Fried chicken from the sandwich. He said it was good. He is not a fan of sesame seed bread so he opted not to eat the bun. I tried the red cabbage apple slaw that it comes with and it was okay. Lastly I ordered the Beet Salad which comes with beets, pears, and candied pecans. I don't usually eat beets but I wanted to try it. It was very good. The beet chunks were large and soft but not overly soft. The pears and the candied pecans added a crispier texture and the mixture of all of the ingredients along with the sauce that was on it made this a super sweet beet salad. Almost like a dessert. It was delicious. Overall the restaurant is a cool spot to visit. The market is a neat addition that adds to the ambiance of the restaurant. The service was excellent and the food was delicious.

Luckily for us, his recommendation was spot on as La Ola is a great little ice cream shop with a large variety of different cures to whatever your sweet tooth desires. Parking is pretty accessible as it's in a small strip of stores and restaurants and there's ample outdoor seating as well to take in a nice summer night. The interior of the store is also nice and clean, making you feel like you're in a well run place from the moment you step in. We ordered a banana pudding scoop in a cone and a scoop of the Cookie Monster in a cup. The line here moves pretty quickly which is good so we didn't have to wait long from the moment we entered to the moment we began eating outside. The ice cream was delicious. The banana pudding tastes just as advertised with chunks of Nilla wafer throughout the bites, incredibly spot on. The Cookie Monster also tasted great, essentially a cookies and cream scoop dyed blue, but why not have a bit of fun with it? The whole experience was great and if ice cream isn't your thing they have numerous other options like shakes and ice pops to get you by. The only ding we can think of is that the trash outside was overrunning and looked like it hadn't been changed in hours. Nevertheless, we're very glad we stopped by here to get a sweet treat and would highly recommend it to anyone in the far South Austin/Kyle area looking to cool off on a summer night.
