David got me water and took my order right away, and the kitchen had my tacos out in what felt like no time at all, probably within five minutes. What I appreciated most was how smooth everything was. David kept my water full without me having to ask, and when I asked for a bag and foil to take a taco home, he brought salsa with it because he already knew I'd probably want some. Small details like that make a difference. The hosts were friendly, the kitchen was efficient, and the overall experience was exactly what you'd hope for when stopping in for a quick meal. Good food, good service, and no waiting around. I'll definitely be back.

Family dinner tonight at Casa Garcia's - service was good, food was good!…read more A little different Mexican food than I'm used to because I think it's more tex mex but I really liked it! We had some queso with hamburger and guacamole for the table. I was fairly certain I didn't want to try it but I did and I actually thought it was delicious. The red and green salsas were both very good. I got the camerones al mojo de ajo. Very good - beans even better. The shrimp were claimed to be in a light garlic sauce - I'd say rather it was an incredibly strong garlic sauce - but I love garlic and I'm here for it. But to be sure, I think I will smell garlic for a least the next day (if not more). Got the Mexican martini at the happy hour price. Great price! Very confused at the drink - sweet with olives. Not bad - just don't know quite all what it was, but to be sure I did drink it. Very solid place - would go back again for sure!

Pro tip: Steak fajitas…read more While pricey (duh, it's at the Proper), the food, drinks, and service are top quality. There is a "Proper Hours", weekly Mon-Wed. We didn't go at this time, but it is said to have discount beers, cocktails, and snacks. Now, I don't know about the snacks, but the entire menu is mouth-watering. Personally, we enjoyed the ceviche, crudo and chips with queso (and the added chorizo), followed by the birria tacos, and finally the sizzling fajitas (that stole the show). Margaritas are solid, but I am wondering why they're $20+...

Service: 5/5: We went for dinner an hour before they closed, and the staff was so lovely and would check on us often. Even after they had closed, they offered us another round of drinks and dessert. We did not feel rushed at all. Drinks: 4/5: I ordered the frozen margarita and it tasted pretty good. Not much different from other frozen margs Ive had. Drinks are a bit pricey here. Food: 4.5/5: You get chips and salsa for the table. The green salsa was tasty, but the red was missing flavor and spice. The Shrimp Ceviche was good, but I did expect more flavor/freshness out of the dish. The star of the show was the Chicken fajitas with cheese! The chicken was so juicy and the cheese was so delicious. Every bite I took of my taco was amazing. Probably the best fajitas Ive had in Austin. Cannot wait to eat them again. Overall a bit pricey, but would definitely recommend! Cant wait to be back.

We were definitely getting hangry on our return trip, and Yelp thankfully directed us here. Since it was late at night, they were not busy. They do have daily specials, but we went our ole faithful, enchiladas. We did start with chips and salsa. These chips are solid and allow you to scoop up their slightly spicy and rich salsa. I ordered their Tex-Mex enchiladas. These are 3 large enchiladas. I ordered one of each chicken, beef, and cheese. They arrived stuffed to the gills and covered with awesome queso. The dish comes with a generous portion of beans and Mexican rice. Taqueria Guadalajara is the real deal, and we will definitely be returning on our next road trip. I left just like my enchiladas pleasantly "stuffed to the gills"! As others have mentioned, the building has seen better days, but the food and service are superb! ,

This is the only place we go to in Elgin for Mexican food because it is simply the best one and is always packed with locals. Food comes out hot and fresh each time.

Being the yelper I am, I see a food truck with 5 stars in the area with over 100+ reviews. That's a no brainer. We went, and couldn't have been more impressed. At first, the tacos seemed quite pricey, but when you get them and they hand you a taco the size of a small child, you instantly realize why it's $4 a taco. Will forever come back here when I'm in the area! Edit: right after I wrote this review and was already incredibly impressed, Tia (the legend herself) came out and talked with us. She was a super sweet lady who seems to genuinely care about all of her customers. I can't recommend this place enough

We started with the chips and queso, and it was some of the creamiest, most delicious queso I've ever had. It was the perfect way to kick off the meal. We also ordered the Spicy Pineapple frozen drink, which was refreshing with just the right amount of spice. As a fun bonus, it was served in an adorable pineapple shaped glass that made the experience even more memorable. For our meal, we ordered three quesadillas and a taco. Everything came out quickly, was incredibly flavorful, and left us completely satisfied. One of my favorite details was that all of the tortillas were made with blue corn, which added a unique touch and great flavor to every bite. Between the lively atmosphere, excellent food, fun drinks, and fast service, this is definitely a must-visit spot when you're in Austin

However, we were still quickly seated at a table, and service was fantastic throughout the stay. Happy Hour M-F, 3:30-6:30 (basically $1 off small drinks) Seasonal Frozen Margs (Strawberry, Mango, 8/10) - SUPER STRONG MARGS!!! We were recommended this place because of the strong drinks, and they did not disappoint. - after ordering both strawberry and mango, we were not able to taste the difference. Both tasted like alcohol haha. Frozen drinks were good in the summer though Crispy Beef Taco (4/10, $6) - literally Taco Bell tacos. Comes with with 2 - not sure if I read the menu wrong, but I thought that the beef would be Crispy. Turns out that it's just the taco shell that's Crispy filled with beef. The filling itself was quite tender and juicy, but would not get this again. - others at the table got the regular soft tacos (verduras), and they said those are really good. Chips/Salsa ($1.5) - comes with three different salsas, which are all quite spicy Overall, a fun and busy spot with great service and good vibes. Drinks are super, super strong yet reasonably priced. Don't get the crispy beef taco unless you're craving Taco Bell.

Friendly staff overall. The food fell flat for almost all of us. The salads were fresh and good. However, the ribs were below average. Cornbread was stale and not tasty. Biscuits tasted more like firm bread and not at all flaky/soft. That seemed weird to all of us. Chicken fried steak was soggy and not crispy. Drinks were ok. Not quite sure why the food was subpar, but there were 10 of us who all agreed we wouldn't return for food. There is a swanky little cozy speakeasy in the basement that may be good? We didn't try that.
