Garcia's Kitchen - The Original

Garcia’s kitchen was recommended to us by a local shop merchant in old town. Plenty of seating, the service was prompt, breakfast was the best we’ve had in Albuquerque. Coffee was mild to strong, Pint of chili without beans add carne adovada with tortilla, outstanding. I also had Garcia’s famous breakfast with Christmas sauce it was Fabulous, amazing, and just the right amount of plate. Not too spicy, very flavorful. Four people, four waters, one coffee, four meals added up to $54.60 before tip.

I used to love this place as a kid. In the past 5/7 years it has gone downhill fast. Food is not as good, service has tanked, closes before anyone is off work, and no longer accepting cash for call in orders. Probably won't ever be back to a garcias

Honest Reviews
We ordered for pickup today.
2 carne adovada red with cheese hand held burritos, 1 bean & beef with cheese burrito and a bean & cheese burrito. We also bought 2 dozen tortillas to take home.
We all loved our burritos. I had the carne adovada that was very tender and well downed with red chile and plenty of cheese.
I think 1 burrito is plenty if your not starving as the burritos are a good size.
There wasn't many people in the morning surprisingly at 930am and the only reason we didn't dine is that the restaurant is usually packed inside.
The cashier that helped was very friendly and professional.
The burritos came out as arrived wich worked perfectly.
Plenty of parking right in front of the entry door so I could pay and leave.
The restaurant is located on Central Avenue the old route 66 just a few blocks east of old town. Wich makes it a good option to eat if you're visiting Old Town plaza.
In my experience this restaurant location has always offered a good food experience.
I would definitely return and suggest this location.

Despite most New Mexican places having bad food and service, I know I can always rely on Garcia's. Been coming here since I was a small gal and those fresh tortillas and red chile are unbeatable. This place has such a home feel as you can taste the love in the food. It was about time I give them their due respect for their reliability.

Ordered family style buffet of the enchilada (half cheese and ground beef) and tortillas for a small family gathering of nine family members. It was a big hit! We ordered the medium size and there was enough leftovers for everyone to take home and even had enough leftover for us (family of 3) two days later. Reheated was just as delicious (with an egg on top😉)! 😋
