Garcias - (Near San Marcos, TX)

2 /5 moanna henderson: All I know is that we had gotten the exact same order of six tacos 1 week before at the new Braunfels location and only paid $36 and some change but went to this location and had to pay $40. The quality and flavor and size at the NB location is great! Will not be returning to this one. I asked for cilantro and onion on my Barbacoa and did not get any, and we noticed that the tacos were significantly smaller than what we had gotten in the new Braunfels location.

1 /5 Texas *: I use to enjoy going to eat at Garcia’s but the service has become extremely unbearable. This use to feel like a family friendly environment, but now it feels as though it’s all about making money and not taking care of their customers. I use to frequent this establishment four to five times a week. Sometimes even twice a day. Now with the horrible service, and bad attitudes from many of the servers I’ve chosen to not come here any longer. I prefer to go to establishments in San Marcos that truly care for their customers. Today I did an online (phone order) order off the website linked to Garcia’s on Dutton Dr. and saw a meal for $12. (New Pricing went up $3.95)When I arrived I saw the ticket was for $30 and change. I showed the girl the price discrepancy, and she then showed her manager and who I assume was a supervisor. I showed both the supervisor and main manager to see if they would honor the price. They both said NO, ended up canceling my entire order and wasted about a half hour of my time showing them the website with the menu and pricing which they stated wasn’t theirs. Do better for the customer. We keep your doors OPEN! I will NO LONGER be eating here, and if you haven’t noticed as a customer many of their plates have increased in price by $2 to $4 more. Recommend you try Casa De Don Lorenzo in San Marcos.

2 /5 Cassandra V: Service and waiter were great. Just the food… I’m sure if you’re use to this type of Tex-mex it’s fine but for anyone who’s use to more authentic Mexican food it’s very baseball game type of food. Rice and beans are solid. The enchiladas/burritos just tasted like melted quick cheese on store bought tortillas. My burrito was literally just cheese and chicken I was fully expecting lettuce and rice and beans inside etc but nothing. Again this might be peoples normal but just a warning if you are someone who’s use to more authentic Mexican food. I’d say TomaTaco is a safer choice but still searching for good Mexican food in San Marcos. I’m use to Laredo, San Antonio, EL Paso food so maybe not the best judge but just wanted to share.

1 /5 Diana Ds: I would like to say that I am an honest reviewer, you can look at my profile I review all places and restaurants with fairness. When my husband and I arrived to Garcia’s Mexican Restaurant they asked what we wanted to drink. My husband wanted at michelada and I wanted an agua fresca. We got a sorry we have no michelada mix and we don’t have aguas frescas. I was shocked at a Mexican restaurant on a Saturday afternoon. Well we looked past that. We were ready to order food my husband ordered a mixed fajita plate and I ordered a veggie fajitas plate. Server comes back sorry we can’t make the veggie fajitas were out of bell pepper. I asked can you make it without bell pepper just all the other veggies comes back sorry no the plate is mainly bell peppers. I asked the server well what do you recommend I eat vegetarian. She said we can make you potato tacos, I said ok fine 2 ranchera potato tacos and a side of beans. 15 minutes passed my husband’s plate arrives and I just get beans. Server comes sorry we can’t make ranchera potato tacos. Seriously my mouth dropped I couldn’t believe it. I said fine just bring me 1 potato a la mexicana taco. Then my husband start eating his plate of food goes in for the rice first spoonful a long blonde toned hair. Picked at the rice some more and more hairs were in there. I just couldn’t believe it. One bad thing after another at this restaurant. Also this place was busy people were waiting outside for a table I seriously don’t understand how. The server brought back the manager I told her everything that we went through since the beginning and told her we wanted our bill and to leave. All we ate were the chips and drinks. I still left the server a $15 tip for a $12 bill. It wasn’t the servers fault and I thought I was more than fair. I will never come back and recommend that nobody else eats here either.

5 /5 Ray Flores: Wow! My daughter recommend this place and it was amazing! Service is TOP notch and food was soooo good. I was impressed with the enchiladas because they were cooked to perfection. Margarita and other spirits were also very good. Highly recommend!!
