Garcia's Reviews
Had the privilege of trying Garcia's for the first time at the original LBJ location in San Marcos yesterday! Met the owners Selina and Johnny Ybarra, their long-time manager, Lillian and a few of their wonderful servers. Very attentive service, I was able to easily customize my meal and it was delicious!! My colleague's beef fajita taco looked very fresh and a generous portion! Definitely a staple for authentic Mexican food in San Marcos! Definitely 5-Stars all the way around!...read full review
SAD to say, this place has crossed over to the dark side. VERY very dissapointed!! Horrible food!! The food is not the same as it used to be. The cheese enchiladas are horrible, it had this watery yellow stuff all over it, NO chili gravy, NO enchilada sauce. The rice and beans were horrible - NO flavor, portion is ridiculously teeny tiny, beans were watery. NEVER GOING BACK! THIS IS THE 2ND TIME, 2ND LOCATION, FOR THIS UNNACCEPTABLE HORRIBLE FOOD.
Specials are a great deal.

Garcia's is a classic restaurant in San Marcos, known for its tasty hot sauce and delicious dishes. The restaurant serves a variety of breakfast options, including breakfast tacos, gorditas, and pancakes, which are a highlight. Lunch and dinner also offer hot, tasty, and affordable food. The enchiladas are particularly good, and the casual atmosphere adds to the dining experience. However, there have been some concerns about service, with a few customers noting that their orders were not handled correctly, especially when new staff were involved. While the food remains a strong point, the service can be inconsistent at times. Nonetheless, the manager is described as courteous and understanding, working to correct any issues that arise. Overall, Garcia's is a great spot for local Tex-Mex and is definitely worth checking out, even if it can feel a bit tight when the restaurant is full.
