Garcia's Mexican Restaurant

Garcia's Mexican Restaurant in Tempe is a cozy gem! 🌮

I visited for lunch and was immediately impressed by the fast service. The chips and salsa were a great start, but the highlight was definitely the street tacos - so flavorful and authentic! The outdoor seating by the fireplace added a lovely touch to our meal.

The kids especially enjoyed their meals from the kids' menu, and with plenty of parking available, it couldn't be more convenient! Can't wait to return for dinner and try their happy-hour drinks... 🍹

Hi all! I just wanted to hop on here to express how yummy and delicious Garcia's is! I was on my lunch break and we all know how that goes..
limited time to eat! I walked through the front door and was instantly greeted at the host desk by the manager.
Her name was Melissa.
Super friendly! I told her I was on a time crunch and she said not a problem.
I ordered a Pick 2 combo in which I chose a Shredded Beef Burrito (comes with red sauce) and a Sour Cream Chicken Enchilada (white sour cream sauce) with All Rice.
I expressed to her I am cheese sensitive and she told me that was no problem and told the kitchen to not put any cheese on my burrito or in my enchilada.
It took the kitchen literally only 5 minutes to knock out my order.
And yes if you're wondering...
my food was hot hot! Total price was around $13 for this combo which included an individual sized portion of salsa, bean dip and chips! (Not shown cause I ate it too fast lol). In conclusion...
My needs were met 100%.
No cheese in my meal due to my sensitivity, and plentiful meat portions inside my chosen items (as seen in pictures).
Definitely would recommend this place to anyone looking for fast, quick, efficient service, and a meal to fill them up!

We had a great time.
Hero was our server and he went above and beyond.
He was.
Friendly and attentive.
He was always not too far.
My only complaint was my steak.
I asked for medium but got well done.
I sent it back once and it came back well done again.
The only reason I didn't send it back again was because Hero was busy with our large group of 14.

Food was good.
There was a baby shower there so its understandable that everyone is serving the best what they can.
The one person that gave me a bad thought was the hostess.
What I got there, there was no hostess, 5 minutes later, the young blonde that looked like she was 19 came out with an attitude that I almost left.
No smile, No hello, just an attitude with a tone of her saying just 2 people? I was not happy.
After being seated, the hostess never told our server that we were there.
Waited 12 to 15 minutes before the server came to us to get our drink order.
Not right, not right.
But from what I saw, we were not the only ones she did it too. After the server took our drink and food order, everything was good.
The food was hot, but good.
The server was doing to best she can to keep up with the customers that she had due to the baby shower going on.
