This is my favorite Mexican restaurant here, the service is great the waiters and waitresses are very helpful. There breakfast tacos and fajitas are delicious!I would defiantly recommend this place if your looking for some good Mexican food. read more

Breakfast is wonderful! Chips are nice and crispy, fresh warm tortillas, great coffee, good prices, and exceptional service! As always a must stop when we are in town! read more

AMAZING!!!! Service was great , food was even better. We were in town for a wedding and found this place by miracle. Im sure glad we did. After eating my husband and i said we might be making a 3 hr drive more often to eat here again read more

The chips were awesome and fresh! Ordered the queso sauce and guacamole, both were excellent. Wait staff was so friendly and helpful. Had a fried burrito and split it with my date. Plenty to eat. Great value. read more

Not sure if this Garcia's has anything to do with the one in Kyle on 1626 but I'll say that this is why we ate here, thinking they were the same. I can say I will NOT return to this location. The one in Kyle is unbelievable as far as service; this one is unbelievable as far as LACK of service. From the moment we arrived, we were informed "they were very busy" so there would be a long wait - as if they were trying to discourage us from staying. When we asked how long, we were told 20 minutes. That isn't long, so we waited. When we were seated, we were told "they were very busy" so it would take a while for us to get chips and salsa and drinks. But the crowning blow was when our waitress told us because "they were very busy" they didn't have any bowls to serve our queso. Really? And everything went downhill from there - no drink refills, no flour tortillas for two orders, waiting forever for our check..."they were very busy". I will say that the food was delicious. But after all that rigmarole, we were so put out it was really hard to enjoy it. So, the two stars is totally for terrible service. Being "very busy" isn't a bad thing. read more

Yet again, another great lunch at Garcias. Love their quesadillas and nachos!!!

The foolishness that sits squarely behind anyone's statement that this is the best Tex Mex ANYWHERE is simply immeasurable. Let's start with the ludicrous phrase "wine margarita"! Just wow! Yes, they have no liquor license. Enchiladas with plastic cheese; rice and beans over salted to fix the lack of flavor. No thank you. Fool me once...shame on...shame on you. Fool me...you can't get fooled again! Heeheehee!!! read more

First impression: they make you sign in for yourself which is a little unprofessional. Guests should be greeted as they come in by the host and the host should take the name and tell the guest how long the wait is. The wait area is also very small because they have a table in it where the guest signs in. Our waiter was great! Drinks came out fast and kept the refills coming. I took the waiters suggestion and ordered the Garcia's Chicken Fried Chicken, it was delicious and slightly spicy which i liked. My dad ordered the Carne Guisada and loved it! I tried it and it was so tender and flavorful. My mom ordered the special which was a chicken enchilada with a crunchy beef taco. She said the enchilada had no flavor and she had to put salsa on it, the taco shell came apart, and the waiter brought her charro beans instead of refried. All together it was a wonderful experience minus a few things that can be easily fixed. We will be back and will recommend to friends! read more

Good food service okay. Excellent chips and salsa. Asked for veggies instead of rice and beans and although accommodated my request said they wouldn't do it again. Doesn't seem that difficult of a request. read more

Best service ever thanks to Blanca! Very friendly and the best server I've encountered in San Marcos. Her presence at Garcia's should definitely be valued, she will be the reason I return! read more

Unable to comment on the food but the customer service is horrible. I asked for a table for 1 so they took my name down. I asked how long the wait would be and the rude host said he didn't know. I repeated that I would like to know as it would make a difference if I waited or not. He replied at least a 30 minute wait time. I proceeded to ask why so long when I see 6 empty tables in the space behind him. He replied that the restaurant is set up in sections and he needed to give his waiters time to catch up. I took my business to Palm Cafe and was delighted with my choice! Too bad I could not give a zero rating. read more

This is great Mexican comfort food! Just like my mama makes, they serve fideo and pork calabasa, homemade tortillas, good homecooking. Their chips are just right and queso is flavorful, it doesn't need anything added to it, it's just good the way it is. I've eaten just about everything on the menu, it's all good. I won't go anywhere else for Mexican food. It's that good!!! read more

Mediocre food and service. Not sure what the big deal is. Incompetent manager. Be aware that they nearly always forget something in your take-out order and they charge extra for take-out. Their tortilla chips are good though. read more

We enjoy coming to eat here occasionally. I am very picky when it comes to eating other people's menudo. I am pretty impressed on their menudo. Their tortillas are good, their fajitas taste good, and I love their menudo as mentioned earlier. Chips and salsa are tasty. They play the country and tejano music I like. The restaurant has good sitting but may need a little improvement on their servers. Overall I give it 5 stars. read more

First of all, I'm a regular customer as I enjoy the food. Although there have only been 3 mistakes made in my To-Go orders while frequenting this location since they opened, there is a manager there whom I hate to deal with. Mistakes happen and it's an inconvenience to the customer to return to the restaurant but I can deal with that. The part I have a problem with is how that manager acts when a mistake occurs. He uses the guise of handling the problem "professionally" when it appears that what he's doing really doing is make the process as painful as possible! I don't want to discuss the order over & over, the one you already read back to me correctly when I placed the order. What I want is to return the wrong taco & pick-up the right one as QUICKLY and efficiently as possible. I absolutely don't appreciate a long conversation about a "miscommunication". They might be busy there but I'm busy too; PLEASE don't make your customers regret doing business with you over something that's so easy to correct. read more

The food is good the portions are small but the service isn't good. There is always a younger employee or hostess greeting and forgets to seat you. When you call in orders they take forever and mess up the order. I also recently ordered a to go large side and it could of maybe only fed 2-3 people and when I questioned employee they had an attitude Over all its affordable but there is always a wait but in the end the food and taste make up for it. They just need newer mature staff to live up to the food. read more

I love this place! It's been on of my favorite places to eat since I moved to San Marcos. The food is great, and quick. Their lunch specials are a good deal. When we opened up our office on Wonder World Dr next to the new location in February, we got the soup special from there almost every day. Love it! read more

You can not go wrong with Garcia's. I live with in walking distance so it makes it nice. The breakfast tacos are always a big hit at work.

This is a review for the location off Wonderworld Dr. in San Marcos, TX. We have been a long time customer of his location and never complained about a messed up order or the order taking too long. However, today I had an experience that will keep me from ever going back. After waiting an hour to get my 10 tacos that my business orders every Friday for the past two and a half years, an order that easily costs $40-$50, I will never go back. I asked the manager why it was taking so long and explained to him every other place in town takes 10 minutes tops, he bluntly told me to take my business elsewhere. I have no problem with that because the food really isn't that good and it seems every time I get back to the office there is someone complaining that they got the order wrong yet again. He went on to complain how the kitchen is under sized and they were just busy today...I don't care, I work in a service business and have never treated a customer like he did today. All he could do was turn his back to me, until I asked for the owners number, then he came back and was trying to reconcile, what a coward. I have no patience for attitudes like this nor the lack of respect after bringing this business so much in the past years. read more

Our waitress was not good, I had to go look for silverware and napkins, had to ask for the same things several times. Food was actually good.. thanks goodness. read more

I recently ate at the Garcia's Wonderworld location in San Marcos. I enjoyed every bit of it, the food, the service, it was all on point. Even though our server Kira was super busy with a full section, and a large top table, she delivered excellent service with a smile. I had the green Chicken Enchiladas which I highly recommend. One of my new favorite places to eat since its super close to my house. Thanks yall! read more

Really Slow service. Below average food. But chips and salsa were pretty good.nothing served here to ever make me want to return.

Well I liked the chips and hot sauce and our server was great but the food was mediocre at best. Bland spinach enchiladas with salty rice and beans means I'll be going to other restaurants for my Tex-Mex food. As my friend said "it was worth a try to find a new restaurant". read more

I would have given them 5 stars except for their weird "sign yourself in on a clipboard" system at the hostess stand. The food was excellent and the atmosphere was great. It was just like their other location with just a little less crowding in the dining room. Our server was efficient and friendly. All around a great restaurant. read more

My husband & I stopped in for lunch today. After reading a few of the previous reviews that we're so great, we were pleasantly surprised that our food tasted amazing. The service was great too. I highly recommend you give Garcia's a try. read more

yeah the wait sucks and parking isn't the greatest but the food is worth the wait. I've been coming here for about 5 years. Im kind of a tortilla snob and the tortillas are ALWAYS fresh here! that makes the tacos taste even better =) read more

Order 4 breakfast tacos to go, they tell you 15 minutes and you wait 30. Set your customers expectations right please. Well I guess they kind of are in that we will go some where else for our breakfast tacos. This is not the first time & is on going not just for breakfast, but for lunch/dinner. I have had people take my order and when I ask how lonf it will be, will say " oh we are slow now, should only be about 10/15 minutes. Get there in 20 minutes making sure we gave enough to time....and we wait..wait. We stopped going to the other Garcia's for the same reason. The staff acts like they don't care and give some attitude because you're upset/frustrated for waiting. I think any one would be. Customer sitting next to me waiting on their to go order for 20 minutes feels the same way I do. Do your self a favor and give yourself 30 minutes before you go get your order, but then again it could be the one time they actually make an order on time and your food will be cold. Dine in ok, to go NOT! read more

Good and bad. Bought breakfast tacos, my wife loved hers. Mine were migas on corn and the worst I've ever had by a large margin...eggs and a few tortilla chips mixed in. That was it. No peppers, tomatoes, onions, cheese or anything else. Didn't care for the salsa either. But very nice people, service oriented and pleasant. Will probably give them another chance but no migas! read more

best chips and salsa in the world!!! Fabulous fajitas, especially Fajitas Nortenas if you like 'em spicy. Tacos and great! Parking can be a problem as well as waiting to be seated because of the popularity. Suggest coming at an off hour and when Texas State is on a break! read more

Went there yesterday and the chip and salsa was about the only good thing. Then the way we told the waitress how we wanted our food and they brought it out exactly the way we did not want it. So then they took it back to remake it and as long as it took I thought it would have been hot but nope cold like it had just been sitting back there. Will never be back. Worst place I have ever eaten nachos at. read more

It is with disappointment that I am writing this review. I love garcia's and eat here often. But last night I ate dinner here. I ordered the cheese enchilada plate and it was pretty good. Until I noticed ants crawling out of my basket that my tortillas were in. So I decided hey be optimistic at least it wasn't roaches right? well then i noticed them crawling out of my chip basket too. I had already at the majority of my food so I just decided to pay and leave with out complaint. It was very crowded and I was just ready to get out of the place. I may go back though cause I am a sucker for the cheap prices but wish they'd fix the ant problem. read more

Fantastic Mexican Food and great service! I love this place!

Just awful. We've been eating here for over 20 years mostly because they have good chips and a decent breakfast and because it's really hard to find quality food in San Marcos but we won't be going back after tonight. The food has literally no flavor and on more than one occasion we have had to send our queso back because it is sooooo watered down. Tonight we had to leave our meal before we we're even half finished because the idiot busser with his underwear hanging out started spraying bleach ALL OVER the whole restaurant while there were people still eating in there, including a family beside us with 3 small children. I had to leave immediately before it triggered an asthma attack. The manager was NOWHERE to be found or she would have gotten an earful! Train your people!!!!! Put some freaking comino/garlic/love in your food!!! read more

I would have given it NO STARS if allowed to post. Web page of Garcias shows front of restaurant on LBJ location when banner in front saying OPEN MONDAYS. Drove there only to find it closed on Mondays! Drove to other location off Wonder World Dr.( Dutton Dr). Will NEVER eat at this location again!! Food was terrible, tasteless and the forks for both of us were DIRTY! We always get plate that comes with Carne Guisada. Told the waitress about the small amount of carne guisada on our dinner when it arrived. She had manager,HORACIO, come to our table. Told him the amount of carne guisada today was about 1/3 of amount we had received at serveral other Garcia locations. With a non caring attitude he said well that the amount you get and totally walked off while saying he would get with other locations and tell them they are giving out too much. Because of the manager, HORACIO, and the cleanliness of this location, we will not ever be going back. read more

So much to say, and not good. The service was WAY too much. I can't deal with trying to eat (emphasis on "trying") when random people come up to me every single bite I eat asking "everything good", just let me eat. And also, I thought it was "one table, one server", not "bombard your customers with interruption". I saw a lot of good stuff on the menu, but conveniently, they told me they were out. So, second choice. Which shouldn't happen, I should never have to walk in to a place thinking of a second choice. All that crap came out of a can, it was BAD. And way too fast, no way in hell anything was cooked without a microwave. Seems great for drinks, and not too many options for Mexican food in San Marcos (that was sarcasm). But if you ever hear "we're out", leave, because people order the good stuff and skip the rest. It would make sense to focus on things people want, and be successful, make people give you their money happily, but nope. Canned food seems to be okay with them. read more
