There are only two places that I will eat Mexican food from in this town, and this is one of them…read more The serving staff has always, without fail, been nothing short of friendly and extremely accommodating. And while you will find the usual familiar favorites on the menu, you will find a plethora of things not commonly seen in your standard Tex-Mex restaurants. This is a great place if you've wanted to try more authentic food, but aren't quite ready to abandon old familiar favorites entirely. The decor is lively and bright, reminding me so much of places back where I am from. You can tell a lot about a place by the way the staff interacts with one another as well, and there seems to be a strong sense of camaraderie among them. Always clean, the prices are decent and you will not come away hungry. Seriously, for dinner, why bother going to any other place?

Just had an ap, two street tacos, and a top shelf margarita. Delicious! The queso with chorizo was LOADED with chorizo. Tacos were delicious. And the margarita...... well, the large will get you there. Definitely tasty and more authentic than many other 'Mexican' restaurants I have been to around the country.

Tacos were very good as was the wife's gordita. Has an authentic feel. We'll be back for sure!read more

I ordered 2 tacos and they were good, but greasy. We also ordered a cheese quesadilla and it was good. The beans and rice were good too. The chips and salsa were more than my entree and they were just disappointing. When I asked our server about the chips, she said "they are always this way".

We had an excellent meal here. The beans ate fantastic and if they have papusas get like 30 of them!read more

I liked the ambiance and music…read more Our service was delayed. Never had a follow up after food was delivered, and had to wait 7 or more minutes after meal was finished to request a box. Our service was faulty. An extra side dish was accidentally sent out on my partner's plate, and the wait staff said, "oops!", removed it off of his plate, and served it to the person sitting behind us. I think it is rude to remove food off of a customer's plate, even if it is an accidental extra. But especially poor procedure to then serve that to another customer. The menu on their Facebook was not current, and what I had been very excited to order was no longer in their printed menu. The current menu was less thrilling. My club sandwich a good size. They allowed customization. I felt my sandwich was of average restaurant value, perhaps a bit better value. The 3 breaded fish basket and fries was not impressive. Very basic. The fries are breaded fries. (I personally like that style) I do not think it was a good value for cost. Very basic restaurant, nice atmosphere with a poor first time experience due to singular wait staff and out of date menu online.

Tried this place for lunch. I think this may be a better breakfast place than lunch... I will try…read moreit again earlier in the day and try breakfast foods. I had the fish sandwich off the menu. The pickles were really good. There were two huge pieces of fish on the bun. So if you're looking for quantity, this would work well for you. It had a little tartar sauce on the top and bottom but I would have enjoyed a lot more tartar sauce. The fish was fried. It was hot. But it was just ok. It was the kind of batter that gets a little gummy between the crust and fish. So if texture bothers you, def get something else. I have to say that I despised the coleslaw. It was really gross. It tasted "off" in a way that is very difficult to describe. It's like it was tossed with a metal spoon and I can taste it. But then I was trying to identify the off flavor... I think it has too much powdered garlic. Garlic has no business being in coleslaw. This is the mass produced really cheap grade school coleslaw that's also too sweet. I'm admittedly a coleslaw snob and when I asked if the coleslaw is on the sweet side, she said it wasn't. What she really meant is that she's never tried it because she hates cabbage. I should have gotten tater tots. I was trying to find something not fried. She did offer to replace it, but I didn't need anything--that was very nice and unexpected. My husband thought his spicy chicken sandwich was ok and his French fries were very good. He had so many fries that I ate them too and we still had some left! I'll try breakfast next time.

We'd heard great things about the tenderloins, and The Garage Bar and Grill did not disappoint. The…read moresandwich was XXL and absolutely dwarfed the bun. The pork was hot, crispy, and tasted fresh. It had a homemade flavor, and our server confirmed the tenderloins are made in-house. Our server was friendly, attentive, and somehow managed the entire restaurant with ease. In a time when restaurant prices seem to keep climbing, we found the food to be very reasonably priced. We didn't order drinks, but their drink prices also looked quite reasonable. If you enjoy shooting a game of pool while relaxing with a cold brew, this would make a great weekend destination. Reminder this is a garage, but that contributes to the atmosphere. (It's casual with a good vibe) Between the excellent food, fair prices, and welcoming atmosphere, we'll definitely be back.

Service was awesome (we recognize you from Sotelo's)! We ordered shrimp fajitas, the shrimp were perfect, and not overcooked as often happens. Do miss the service on cast iron though, it gives things a nice char. Their chips were fresh and thin and delicious. Their salsa is great, but the mild is too mild for me so we asked for the hot and then mixed the two together and it was perfect. We will be back!

What I got was a chicken leg quarter that had been deep-fried, apparently after it had been baked. Extremely dry and basically inedible. No seasoning at all. A little pile of what looked like mashed potatoes, and some other thing that I couldn't identify. They did bring some sort of good fried whatsits before we started eating as a gift. My son had shrimp but they were overcooked and not very good. We came away wondering what it should've been like. Staff was extremely nice. The restaurant itself was extremely clean. But they may need to brush up with their cooking skills.
