Very mediocre Mexican food. Disappointed and was hoping to have a new good place near me but it's average at best. Very friendly service and upbeat music in the restaurant though. The tamales were inedible and the chips and salsa were not good. Also the dining room floors were extremely greasy & slippery. Probably won't return. Just not enjoyable no matter how close it is to me ;( read more

Casa Garcia's - Leander - Mexican Near Me - Leander, Texas

Literally an edible! We have tried this place many times and has always been lackluster to say the least. After tonight, we will never go back in... The chips are out of a bag, and the salsa is definitely out of a jar. Tonight's service and quality left our whole table questioning who would end up sick tonight read more

Drinks are A1...strong and pretty tasty. All you can ask for at typical local Mexican restaurant. Service is really great as well. Servers are helpful, attentive and pleasant for the most part. Food is what will be the ultimate reason for my 3 stars. It's pretty bland and little under average and I'm a huge Mexican cuisine connoisseur here. I've been twice and ordered chicken enchiladas (pretty dry) and the quesadillas (which is an appetizer). Lots of meat but little to no cheese, dry and very mini portions of quac/sour cream compared to the price and order. This place a decent option for a local fix and good for Happy Hour but food could improve if they simply take their time and put some actual care into the preparation. read more

I was really hoping for a good experience, but unfortunately, it was terrible. It took an hour to get our dinner. When it did come, we only got half, and it was cold. When the rest came, we didn't get everything and even though I asked.... it never came. We were only checked on twice while being there for 2 hours. I sent my plate back because it was so cold and wound up just eating half my daughter's order. They offered to redo it, but by the time it would have come, everyone else in my party would have been done eating. When we got the check, my plate was still included. They removed it, but the manager didn't say much at all, and neither did the staff. It's like they didn't know how to handle a bad experience and were just wanting us to leave. I honestly think the place may be too big for the kitchen staff. It was a full house, and we could see many other patrons were frustrated, too. I know it's a new restaurant and I do hope service gets better. They're probably still working out the kinks. The food wasn't all that bad, though. The fajita meat was enjoyable. read more

Worst service ever, it was a Sunday night with nothing going on, yet me and my wife weren't given the time of day. Stay away at all cost, scam and waste of time never spend money or time at this scam ever! read more

Just giving our point of view review of Casa Garcas.. We went this afternoon.. We ordered 2 plates; CHORIZO MIGAS; My wife said it was very bland all around had about 1/3 of it and gave up FAJITA; Let me say the waiter gave me the FAJITA plate and not the CASA G'S SIZZLING FAJITAS !! I even asked when the plate was brought out, why it wasn't in a sizzling plate and he said something like that a large plater that costed 60.00 and I said wait what for Fajita's Sizzling ? So this was a very big let down, it was like serving a side dish with shells and have at The salsa - B L A N D The shells were OK, a bit thick Staff was nice, but again I don't think the waiter understand or should have explained they 2 different types of dishes and so even, my dish was bland, everything was mild bland, they need to get better salsa's and better seasonings going.... We tried it, move along read more

Can't tell you how the food was because after an hour of waiting for our dinner we left. Bringing a second basket of chips does not compensate for such a slow kitchen. We won't be back. read more

We went for the second time . The food was good , but the service. It's new so I'll give them that The server was great but we waited almost 20 minutes at our table for anyone to take drink orders The food is good. And it's a nice restaurant. The young man that brought our orders should be talked to about body odor. It was pretty offensive . read more

Stopped by to have a drink at the bar. Chips and salsa come with a drink, a margarita is delicious and satisfying. Bartenders are friendly and ready to mix another one. Cheers! read more

I'm giving it a 4 since new but I judge most based on the Chili Rellano. Sorry but you need a choice of sauces. I couldn't scrape away that red sauce. The other meals have been fine but that was awful. Service was great but we could use some choices in sauce like most offer. The red sauce.... read more

Third breakfast attempt. Food not seasoned, order served wrong, clearly sat under hot light for 10 minutes or so. Eggs overdone and cold, neat trick. Sent plate back, declined on remake. Waiter said new cooks are the issue, manager #1 said the kitchen doesn't like to waste food, manager #3 offered half off my bill and told me all about the mariachi bands. They have a great space, nice folks working there, just need to nail that serving food as a restaurant thing. I don't think they are far off, but some back of house training on menu prep, foh in using complicated wrist super computers to take orders, and introducing the whole kitchen to a salt shaker would go along way. Please get this right! I want y'all to succeed. One more thing, please workshop the salsa. read more

We really wanted to like this place because it's close to home but tonight was super disappointing. It really wasn't very packed but it took 15+ minutes for our drink order and another 45+ to get our soups. After that, we waited forever to get our change back, and had to actually go to the register to get it. On top of all that, food wasn't very good - Caldo de Res was so salty. read more

This was a Wednesday evening, keep in mind. The restaurant had 11 tables total of folks sitting down. They were not busy ...... We gave casa Garcia's ANOTHER chance to redeem themselves after our last two sad experiences. Clearly they made no improvements. Service is absolutely horrible. They do nothing to help each other out. Staff will focus only on their table. A nice amount of social gathering and " I'll tell your waiter " when you ask for something. Manager came right before we left. it was a bit odd, he had thumbs up in the air. Looks like he was running a marathon, saying all good all good. He was so rushed, never had an opportunity to listen or hear our response Food was ok. Refills on anything from drinks to chips were nowhere to be found. Getting flour tortillas for your fajitas was a task. Better off, going to the counter and asking for them directly Unfortunately, we will not be returning. read more

Obnoxious old lady greeter never greets customers with a smile. I went to have a business meeting and was embarrassed by the treatment. The food took almost forever to serve. The bathrooms is unhygienic. The drinks tasted very watered down and overpriced. read more

Our first time here and WOW! The food, the service...everything was great!!! Margaritas, enchiladas, tacos & dessert! The atmosphere in here is perfect! Great crowd, great staff!!! And if you sit at the bar, Tony is amazing!!! We will definitely be back! read more

Great food! Recommend highly, the margaritas were great. Crispy tacos were worth coming back for

I had a great meal at 5:30 on a Friday so took the family back on a Saturday night. It was too crazy. Long wait, loud & they skipped our name on the list. I recommend them at off-peak hours. Everyone enjoyed their meal- we just wanted less chaos. read more

Not impressed over an hour waiting for our food. Food came out was cold and dry. Very blend tasting. High prices and small servings. We tried, wasn't impressed and will go back to Jardin. Don't waste your money and your time here. read more

Food is always pretty tasty, never have dined in because it's always busy but we always call in a to go order from time to time. No complaints about the food, but everytime I order a to go order I order the same thing and everytime it comes in a different sized to go container. Side portions are pretty skimpy. Cashiers are always pretty annoyed/frustrated due to being busy. read more

Four stars for this restaurant, but if it wasn't for their Friday night mariachi band, we'd give them 5-stars. We've always gone to Casa Garcia's around lunchtime (ask for Israel, he's amazing!), as the service, the steak fajitas and top shelf margaritas have always been a big hit with us. But this time we decided to go on a Friday night--big mistake! I saw in a previous review that someone's favorite part of their Friday evening there was the mariachi band, but we found it to be so horrible that we eventually left without ordering dinner. The musicians were so far beyond loud, there are just no words...the woman who was singing was practically screaming, and the trumpet player was pointing his trumpet straight at us so that our ears were breaking. We were literally yelling as loud as we could to one another at our table as well as to our waiter, none of us could even hear each other. We screamed our margarita order to the waiter who tried hard to understand what we were requesting, but while we waited for the drinks, we literally could not bear the noise any longer and went to the bar for our drinks, deciding to skip dinner. I tried to tell the server behind the bar that we'd have our drinks there, but she couldn't hear me either. My husband complained to the manager about the volume level, but he seemed surprised to hear that, even though it was obvious no one could hear each other. We guzzled our drinks just to get out of there quickly, and as we walked out the door, a man at least 25 years younger than us came out shaking his head as well--he said that on Friday nights, the band is so loud that he and his wife won't go there, they just do take-out. In a nutshell, it's a great place, just don't go on a Friday night unless you want your ears blown out!!!! read more

They are very reserved on food ingredients /fajita fixings on food delivery. No chips or salsa included in order and if you want them they charge $11.99!!!!!! Insanity! read more

I would like to give this restaurant 4 stars, but the service is lacking even during the slow hours. The food is very good and comes out quickly and is hot. However once you receive your food, the staff doesn't come back. Many walk by, many are near but no one refills your water or checks to see if the food is good. There seems to be no team work, each server is on their own and if they have a problem no one helps them. There are managers present but they don't bother to check on the customers either So the customer suffers, waiting for food or water or their check. read more

First time I went it wasn't that great. We chose enchiladas and they were so so, the cheese wasn't melted. Not much flavour and not much sauce. Second time we went everything was great. This time we got food for the whole family. We got tacos, mole, horchata, and tamales. Very glad they have some more authentic favourites like mole and horchata. It makes me think everything but the enchiladas are great. The place has a nice atmosphere and the servers were helpful. read more

Salsa is horrible, Taste like tomato sauce. Queso is no better. Eaten here several times and food very inconsistent.

Went today for the first time. The cheese enchiladas are made with processed cheese (velveeta) instead of cheddar. The tamales were horrible. They'd be better off buying them at HEB as they are much better. We were so disappointed. Will never return as we'd be afraid of trying anything else. read more

I know they are new here but they got a lot of kinks to work out. I didn't get a drink menu when they sat me down, the waiter asked immediately what I wanted to drink. I asked for a frozen margarita with gold tequila, which should have been their reserva margarita, he brought out their standard frozen bottom shelf tequila margarita. The queso was good, kid and I both enjoyed. They brought out steak fajitas for two, very over cooked and not good tasting for the price. Papasitos would be a few dollars more for medium rare filet mignon. Also found a plastic brown piece in the fajitas. Fajitas comparable to Rosa cafe and chuys, which isn't good to say. Flour tortillas were good, corn needs work. Daughter wanted to try fried ice cream, it was covered in stale chewy corn flakes and when a kid doesn't like ice cream you know it's not good. $82 for a meh experience made me very disappointed and not in a rush to go back. read more

Tried the new Garcias in Leander this morning for breakfast. Ordered the barbacoa plate (barbacoa plus eggs). Midway through, discovered this questionable item in the barbacoa. When I asked, I was told it was meat from a cows head. Finished eating right there and then. Paid my bill and left. read more

Visited multiple times already. Enchiladas are great. Best chili con carne I have had. Service has been great.

This was the wife and my first visit to the new location close to our home. (I've eaten at Casa Garcia in Pflugerville many times when I worked at Dell!) I was pleased to see that the food was very similar and will be thrilled to go back. We had the numero uno combo, no beans but double rice, with chili con queso on top. Great host and server experience as well! Looking forward to explore the menu in the coming future. Our go-to test at Tex-Mex is cheese enchiladas and these were Muy Bueno! read more

Casa Garcia's - Leander - Numero Uno Combo - Mexican Near Me - Leander, Texas

I paid way too much for a lunchtime taco salad. Yes, it's $5.00 to have beef fajita meat added for a lunch salad size. No mention on the menu for lunch just for dinner. I paid $17.30 for a salad not counting tip and I won't be back. read more

I was really excited to try this new spot. Heard amazing things from friends about the Austin locations. No,no,no, menudo was horrible. Literally 5 pieces of meat. Tamale lack something idk but heb tamales are better service wasn't great... no refills, forgot my $15 queso no tortillas no refills on chips. Just crazy! At least my son likes his French toast read more

This is the best Mexican food in the area, we love it. I like to grab picadillo and potato tacos for breakfast.

*Dont Waste Your Money* Ordered a dozen tamales, Chimichanga, and a three Taco plate along with a large Horchata to go. brought my order home and opened the to-go containers to find items I ordered and didn't order.. we received the tamales and a chimichanga and both were sub par. Tamales were way greasy and outer tortilla of the chimichanga was not at all crispy.. was more like a burrito and not fried at all. The only side was some rice. I asked for a large horchata and received a medium cup and was told that's as large a cup that they had to go. We did not get the tacos that were ordered but instead received Mac and cheese that taste like it came out of a box with rice and beans and the worst carnitas I have ever had. I made a call to the location and spoke to the manager but he offered nothing. I paid over $50 for this and could barely consume any of it. We will never go back! read more

See all

We came in for lunch today and had a great experience. Just recently opened. We sat at the bar and. Cassidy behind the bar was so nice and helpful. read more

We were so excited because the Pflugerville location was so yummy. The food was blande and just luke warm. I have been there twice and the only good thing I can say is the beer is really cold. So if you're looking for good drinks, this is your place. If you're looking for good food, this is not the place to go. read more

We enjoy other locations of Casa Garcia's and glad to have one near the house. This is adequate Tex-Mex if you know what you are getting into. Service is hit or miss for dine-in, but we have had great experiences with frequent to go orders. I like the Mole Enchiladas and Migas a la Mexicana. read more

After a long drive, I was craving Mexican food and happened to see -Casa Garcias, known for their fresh homemade tortillas. as I entered, I was greeted with the friendliest customer service and the coolest waiter, Carlos. He was very patient and enlightened me on the whole menu with a smile. Thanks Casa G for having the friendliest service and great atmosphere. read more

Everyone including kids were very pleased. Food was delicious and our server Cesar was great. We will definitely be dining here more.

I should've learned my lesson two times before! Again, they always seem to add something on your bill that you just don't agree with. This time I order to be enchiladas with chili con queso sauce and they charged me for the two enchiladas and then $3.98 for the queso. I tried to understand the reasoning behind that because if you do a substitution for chili con queso it's only $1.99. It may seem petty, but this is the third time on three different ingredients or items and now I'm just frustrated with this place. I will have to say the food is very good. read more

Went to eat breakfast today , 3/24/24, Place was looking clean and pleasant to the eye. Restaurant was just getting busy When we entered ( only waited about 10 minutes to be seated) was given menu Then given chips and dip , no asking about water need, or if we wanted anything to drink, no utensils were given. We had to wait about 15-20 minutes before ordering our food . Waited another 15 minutes before it came . We did get our coffee 5 minutes before food came out. Had to ask for 2nd cup of coffee which came out cold And we had to ask for check.no one came to give us the check and that was another 10-15 minutes to get a check. Food was very good but they need to have a better flow for their wait staff. read more
