Good place for a family dinner. The food here is consistently good. The chicken is always moist and tender. The sauces are flavorful. The margaritas are great with many options. The only reason for only four stars is the service. There is room for improvement here. Often servers disappear for extended periods of time. I've also had a couple instances where apparently my server didn't realize it was their table and didn't show up for an extended period. This is a great place to bring the family and enjoy a good meal. read more

I'm so happy that they opened a Casa G's in Leander! The breakfast was amazing, I started with the carne guisada migas and wash it down with a Michelada. Service was amazing and fast. This place is gorgeous, great bar area and the outdoor patio is amazing. read more

Was a little skeptical about going to this location due to the reviews but boy are those reviews off! The food, atmosphere and service was absolutely amazing! We usually go to the location in Round Rock but now will be visiting the Leander location! Migas a la mexicana were so delicious and the tortillas, exquisite! New favorite location! read more

I have known about this establishment for a while, and they just opened a location close to Liberty Hill, so we tried it for lunch, and are we glad we did. Chips, Salsa & Iced Tea hit the table before they took our order, and they kept coming. They had their full menu offered as well as a nice selection of Lunch Specials. I had the Chalupa Plate, mixed one Beef & one Chicken, I opted for the Jalapeños on both. They were equally good, and a great choice. My wife ordered the Combo Light Plate which is a Cheese Enchilada with Chili con Carne Gravy and a crispy Beef Taco (which is the Barometer of any good Mexican Restaurant in Texas, Cali wants a Burrito), Guacamole Salad and a Queso Shell. She really loved it all. The only noticeable difference between Lunch and Supper is the slightly larger portions and Beans & Rice. You can get the Lunch Menu anytime for $2.00 more and they serve BREAKFAST ALL DAY. My little Grandson ordered the Kid's Cheese Quesadilla with French Fries and a Queso Shell, which is a personal portion of cheese dip for his Fries. The Service provided by Gabriel or "Gabe" as the host introduced him, was spectacular and as good as any restaurant I can think of in the city. They are a locally owned multi-unit, little Austin area chain, the kind of business we all love to support, so why not treat your friends and family to a really great meal with Michelin Star Service. [Note: I am a traveling musician, and a good friend of mine from the DC area was in Austin working. He took his wife to Casa Garcia's in Dripping Springs, and he said it was the best Mexican or Tex-Mex he had ever eaten, and this man has been all over the world. Let that marinate a while.] Give 'em a shot, I highly recommend it! read more

Taco Cabana would be a better choice than Casa Garcia's. We ordered: - 1 queso appetizer - 1 order of shrimp tacos with black beans and rice - 1 Ultimo Combo The total was around $43 plus tip. The atmosphere was quite loud due to a mariachi band, so if that's not your scene, this restaurant might not be the best option. - Queso: 2/5 - Taco Cabana's queso is better and cheaper. - Shrimp Taco Plate: 1/5 - The tacos were drenched in sauce, the shrimp lacked grill marks and seemed more like they were warmed up in a pan, not to mention there was no seasoning. The black beans and rice were cold. - Ultimo Combo: 3/5 - The stuffed avocado was decent, though the presentation was poor. The tamale was disappointing, and the gordita was more like a sandwich, poorly assembled. read more

Food is excellent. We go every Sunday after church and it is always amazing. The chips are great and the salsa is just good to me but my wife thinks it is great. We love this place! read more

Great food, great service, great environment. Better than any other Mexican restaurant in town. Way better that that gross place down the street, Margaritas! read more

My family and I were seated in the patio and was told the service would be slow. We understood and wanted to enjoy the beautiful weather on Mother's Day. I proceeded to the bar to get my wife and I a drink and over heard the waiter at the cash register say "i don't know who sat them out there but I ain't helping them". I gathered my family and the menus to take to the welcoming station to leave and he followed us to the door to let everyone know that I was a "problem" and an "ass". I've been here many times before and really enjoyed the atmosphere but we will not be going back. I would never think that behavior to customers especially to a mother on Mother's Day would not be acceptable. I hope that there will be training provided to avoid losing customers in the future. read more

Challenging to get into the restaurant without numerous stairs. Had to go down several storefronts to access a ramp. First visit here. Despite my walker and husband's cane host schlepped us halfway through the mostly empty restaurant passing many empty tables. Restaurant was uncomfortably cold. Waiter was prompt for drink and food order. Freebie salsa and chips did not taste or look homemade. Not even tomato flavor. No flavor - not even salt. I tried a combo to taste several different items. Green enchiladas with chicken, taco and tostada. Chicken was moist but flavorless. Green sauce was the only flavor but hardly any of it. Very disappointing - no seasoning in the taco meat but ample toppings. - one star here. Other entree was a red pork which was also mediocre. Didn't bother with pics. No incentive to go back. read more

Good fresh food. Variety of Breakfast tacos are good take home - they reheat very nicely. Excellent Casa Margaritas. Attentive wait staff w/o hovering. read more

$30 for huevos rancheros.... Gratuity was included in the bill. We had a 6 top table. 20% added for "large party" and 18% added for "small party". How can a table be a small and large party at the same time? They tacked on 38% for no reason. Leads me to believe that the place is so terrible no one tips.... So they add that to every bill just so they can legally get by for their waiting staff. Super bland tex mex with no flavor.... No flare... no culture. Very deceiving place because the exterior and interior is pretty nice, but don't be fooled. read more

Ok... ill be fair on this .. the staff was awesome... the service, amazing.. if the food was great I would definitely return and recommend thus place. Im Mexican... if youre from So Cal.. AZ or from a Mexican traditional Mexican food cooking/ eating family... you will not appreciate the beautiful restaurant. This is absolutely amazing for my friends from Ohio that are not accustomed to traditional eats from the south. The chef absolutely lacks (sazòn) seasoning (doesn't translate well). The food was bland, the tortillas lacked salt ... the flan was flat in flavor.. even the toasted part of the flan thats usually carmalized was, well...not carmalized ... The tamales were not dry, but definitely lacked flavor in the masa. The meat i think was imagined there cause well.... Definitely on the skinny side with meat that... yes, you guessed it, lacked flavor. My wife ordered a chicken tortilla soup... i liked there presentation which for a soup... def impressed... but, the chicken breast in broth was a little flavorless and dry. I really had hoped this place was good because of its proximity to my house... :( read more

worst breakfast I've ever had I ordered the Carne Asada with eggs potatoes and chorizo $15 meal and I got some chunky soupy beef stew with scrambled eggs on the side another side of scrambled eggs with chorizo and then chunky potatoes the worst meal I've ever paid for. I didn't even eat it. I just paid for our meal and we left will never return to this place again. read more

Went for dinner tonight. Sat at the bar. Husband ordered large house Margarita nd it was really unusual color, darkish. Bartender said, let me k ke if it's too tart. We were like, weird. But it was awful! He came back and added Cointreau. It was just sweeter. Fajitas or two and it was OK lots of green pepper as filler. When we asked to get boxes to go wait ahead and noticed that there was like an air freshener smell in the restaurant. Hmm Thought that was weird very strong kind of like a car fruit smell. Took our dinner take out to the car and as we're driving home, continue to smell that strong room freshener smell Got out of the car got the bags out of the backseat and realized it was the bags that were sented! And that was really gross to be mixed with our food Not sure we'll ever go back. read more

Waiter came quickly and gave good service. Had migas with chili con queso. Pretty good. I would've preferred the home fries cooked just a bit more, but pretty good. Nicec slightly upscale atmosphere. read more

Food was decent, margaritas are great, went on a Friday evening and the service and band were amazing!

Awesome location, good looking bar. Courteous staff. There are a few growing pains but they just opened less than a week ago. We ordered shrimp cocktail which was delicious and fresh. We also ordered vegetarian fajitas and chicken fajitas and loved all of the food. They offer free chips and salsa which is also excellent. We really enjoyed giving this new spot a try and can't wait until they open the outdoor patio space. Highly recommended, we will return! read more

Very poor service. Never even brought chips and salsa until asked. No refills. Never asked how anything was. Food perfectly average. Tortilla soup was the most basic soup I've ever seen with one chunk of chicken and. Only broth. Slow in the kitchen. Food had been dying in the window. Manager walked around back and forth without engaging, and was texting in back of the dining area. Won't be going back. Third poor experience in a row. read more

We ordered migas a la Mexicans. We got a cool plate of migas with hardly any cheese on it. They were short staffed our waitress offered to bring us the ranchers sauce and cheese. It showed up 15 minutes later. The waitress was waiting tables and tending bar. We asked for a manager that showed 15 minutes later bypassing our table to hand a receipt to the hostess then wandered over to our table. I explained the situation and the ngr stated she looked at the plate it was done correctly. I informed her that was not eggs Mexicans according to the menu and she told me I was wrong! I was trying to be quiet and polite so asked her to remove the charges to which she responded. We will remake it. No thank you I had other things to do. She was rude and defensive obviously no customer service skills. This is casa garcias off the Ronald Reagan. If you do not have enough wait staff then seat your customers in one area. They were seating in both dinning area the bar and the outside patio. Didn't make sense. Worst experience ever! read more

Don't go here for Mexican food takeout! You'll get home and realize they didn't give you everything you ordered! Then argue with you that the guy who made it said it was in there! I'm sure you can agree that nothing is worse than getting back home with takeout and there's several items missing! read more

Stressful and tense atmosphere disturbed our experience. Went in for my mother's birthday dinner waited forever to get drinks no refills we felt rushed to get out. Clearly there's some managerial issues. read more

49 minutes from time we sat down until food arrived. 18 minutes before waiter stopped by for a simple drink and appetizer order. We've been to many Casa Garcia locations many times over the past 15 years and this is by far the worst service location. It sucks that we now live north and this is the closest one within reason. Somewhere new is on our horizon until we can move back south. read more

second time at this place. First time was awfull. No service, Had to somone j ust to get water, while other staff was standing around looking around.. Second time was for breakfast this morning and they charged an up charge for eggs which they said was due to the bird flu on chickens. Give me a break!!! this was 4 months ago. WTF??? the manager said there is a sign at the front which is a 4x6 sign under the reception desk that you cant see. Dont' eat here. Im filing a complaint with the AG. these guys are crooks!! looking to make an extra $$ Manger should go back to mopping floors, I think that is his best position. read more

We had the nicest cashier, Kristin, ever. She was very helpful and answered our questions very sweetly and patiently. We will definitely be back! read more

I am a regular at the restaurant and what brings me back is the service! although i love the breakfast tacos it helps that the hostess is always helpful and smiling . Kristen is exactly what restaurants need !!! read more

Drinks took forever to get then forever to fix. Bartender made a horrible runny margarita sampler All 3 flavors the same. Made my husbands marg wrong too. My chalupa was barely warm. Any my husbands food was cold Tacos the meat the bell peppers still crunchy, beans and rice cold Sad and overpriced tonight. At least the weather was nice and patio quiet. We should've gotten this comped. I waited tables for 8 years in my younger years and I never would've let my customers pay for that crappy food/ drink service. read more

Ate here today and was sooo good. Salsa not too hot, chips warm, light and crispy, chicken and cheese enchiladas did not disappoint. Queso was soo creamy and good and lastly...sopapillas were light and crispy and the perfect finish. From Burnet and get so tired of half assed customer service. Bathrooms were even immaculate and smelled like fabulous so it was awesome. Thank you so much for the good service and great food. Job well done we'll see you again soon. read more

Food is delicious and environment is very pleasing. Every time i take people here there's nothing but good things to say about this place.

I was sick at home.and some family members decided to bring me lunch. I had the birria tacos......I need more birria tacos!! The food is.good and im.looking forward to trying it in the restaurant. read more

We eat here many times and this is the worst experience we have had here. We drive from Lago Vista to eat here. This is the only one we like. We were seated and the hostess is very nice. We sat there for 10 minutes and no one waited on us. The restaurant was not busy. We had several wait staff personal walk by and nothing was said to us. All that needed to be say is I will be right with you. We decided to leave. Told the hostess was we were leaving and it was because no one would wait on us. All the was said was sorry. There was a wait staff person hanging out at the desk visiting. Very disappointed. read more

We came iagain and are astounded again by the food choices. The staff is very helpful even though they're very stressed. It is completely filled tonight. I am so glad I came back though. I wish you guys would visit this place at least once and understand why I love it so much. I was going to make pictures of the dishes this time, but I started eating them again before I realize I needed a picture. That's how good these dishes are. read more

See all

The experience kicked off with red salsa that was about as thrilling as watching paint dry. The chips seemed fresh out of a bag, and the guac? If it's house-made, Costco might want their recipe back. Then, our waiter--who deserves an Oscar--subtly warned us about the normal queso. I almost asked him to blink twice if they needed rescuing; it felt like they were skillfully guiding us through the menu's landmines while keeping there job safe. The beef was fine, but the chicken? It's so safe it should come with training wheels. The house-made tortillas? Those are like a surprise Beyoncé concert--absolutely fantastic. But despite those tortillas and the warm, friendly service, I wouldn't actually come back. The food just doesn't hit the mark, and in trying to please everyone, the menu ends up being like that forgettable friend. A bit more daring could really make the difference. read more

There were 4 of us that went in for dinner about 5:30. Place was not busy at all. This place has serious issues. We asked our server if a certain drink was on happy hour. She said happy hour was over which it wasn't. We had to show her on the menu HH went until 7 PM. We hand to send one of the drinks back because it was the wrong drink. We ordered our food which came out timely for 3 of us. The server had to ask "what plate was missing". The three of us that received our food was almost done when our other party got his food. Think she forgot to order his food. When the 4th plate finally came it had the wrong beans. The server said she would bring her a plate of the correct beans which she never did. We also had to ask for the tortillas for the fajitas. The server was very scattered and complained about how the business was being run.. When the bill came we noticed she did not give us happy hour prices for our drinks. When we pointed it out she gave us attitude and said "I put happy hour in the computer" and walked away (we didn't notice the incorrect amounts until after we paid). She also charged us for extra beans which we did not order Or receive. Check your bill closely before you pay. They got us for about an extra $10 dollars between all of us. This place was very good when they first opened but not happy the last few times so probably won't be going back. read more

We don't have very many choices for restaurants in the area. Casa Garcia has a traditional TexMex menu. I have been multiple times and by far I think breakfast is where they shine. I didn't care for their shredded chicken but the fajita chicken was better. The salsa is sometimes amazing and sometimes tastes like ketchup. If you like spicy salsa there is a secret menu item and it's their complementary green salsa which has a fantastic flavor and the right amount of heat, be sure to ask for it (it's very spicy). Breakfast tacos and the omelette are very good. On the lunch and dinner menu the fajita chicken tacos are the go-to choice. I didn't like some of the other items. read more

Slightly more Mex than Tex, which was a pleasant surprise! Located in a strip mall by HEB the new restaurant is clean and well laid out with some Tex Mex flair throughout, typical of what you would expect. Not too busy for a Monday lunch meeting. Our server was polite and quick to get what we needed, although had to be reminded once or twice of a couple items, no biggie. What made this restaurant pass the average 3 start mark was the food. While trying New Mexican places I typically go for the carne guisada plate, having it made myself, I know it's not an easy plate to make. It's slow cooked beef roast marinated in a blend of spices. The mistake some restaurants make is rushing the dish causing the beef to be tough. Casa garcia aced the Carme guisada. What made it more interesting was that it was served on top of cheese enchiladas. Bit of a stretch to add cheese and play with a classic but it worked here. Tasted like fresh quesadilla cheese making a good taco with the rice and beans. If they could improve on anything, it would be a better presentation, for the price of 15 dollars for the plate it would be nice to see some guac or fresh veggies on the plate. The rice and beans were a bit forgettable could give a bit more attention to that. But I do look forward to try a couple more things in the future. read more

Ordered take out and requested chips and salsa. Got home and no chips, no salsa! Joe do we eat the queso we ordered? Tried calling the restaurant and they either hung up on us or we got disconnected. Warning... your queso won't come with chips!! read more

I placed a to go order and paid $18.00 for maybe 4 pieces of meat I got one fajita because the meat is so small they gave me 5 tortillas. Will NEVER order from here again. I know inflation is bad but this is ridiculous. If you are hungry find another Mexican restaurant to eat at. read more
