The family and I are were traveling through Virginia on our way back to South Carolina. As we…read moreapproached Harrisonburg, we looked to see what food there was and this place popped up. So we decided to give it a try. We are happy we did. Growing up in Las Vegas and being exposed to many good/excellent Mexican places to eat and also growing up in a Mexican household (homemade Mexican food all the time), I usually judge Mexican places to my grandmas, moms, and aunts cooking. We stopped in and were seated right away. My mom and aunt shared the pork carnitas, dad got the chicken tacos, and I the lunch fajitas. All three were really good. My Mexican mom and aunt really like the pork carnitas. If they liked the food, then you know it's good. The service was also good. They kept checking on us to see if we were good and needed anything. The chips and salsa were good as well. The corn tortillas are homemade and really good. Would for sure come back when I'm in the area again.

Nice ambience and staff. However, the food was disappointing…read more It seemed to me to be another of the many "Mexican" restaurants catering to Americans not familiar with quality Mexican food. It was the typical lackluster Taco Bell kind of American/Mexican food, and I was hoping for more. For those who don't know what I'm talking about, I encourage you to try more Mexican restaurants. You may discover one with flavorful, exquisite, magnificent food and think 'Wow, I didn't know Mexican food could taste this good.' To be kind, I'm giving a rating of "OKAY."

We were in the area to celebrate a baby shower and decided to have a group dinner. Mr Garcia was recommended and we were all in!!! Few things cannot be cured with a delicious quesadilla. Upon arriving, parking was FULL! Certainly popular. We even ran into friends in the lot pulling up with their parties too. It's a large establishment! Menu was full of great options- from meat, to chicken, to veggie. Can I just say- as a Spanish speaker myself, I know the food will be good and authentic when native Mexicans are managing and owning the establishment. Even the servers were bilingual! We started with a round of drinks, I ordered a pina colada and several at the table ordered peach margaritas and modelos. Drinks were delicious and a good size! The special prices were just right. Then we ordered our main entrees. Due to it being a Friday in lent, I ordered the veggie combo where I had several options to pick 2 from for a meal. I got the chile relleno with cheese potatoes and beans and the veggie quesadilla. It was very filling! The food came out straight from the kitchen! Other dishes ordered also looked incredible- from the arroz con pollo to the taco salad. The chips weren't my favorite, tbh. Seemed a little burnt and thick. I like my tortilla chips from restaurants "restaurant style" so thin and greasy and crispy, and these weren't that :( they also had a white sauce served with chips and it was sweet and strange honestly. Of all the authentic aspects of this cuisine, this one pick didn't belong. I understand wanting to cater to the locals but this sauce didn't seem enjoyable at all. The chips also aren't bottomless, one basket more is free and any following is $1.99, not much but still. I ordered a flan to go! I'll absolutely be back!

The service was quick and efficient! My chicken tacos were excellent and I love the lunch special…read moreprices. They have a great patio and fast service. I liked the radish on top of the taco and I liked the choice of salsa. My only complaint is the lime in the green sauce and guacamole. Lime should always, always, be served on the side. It's not appropriate in the food. It's always an add on in Mexican cooking. It's much too overpowering and ruins the flavor of the food. The food should stand on its own. I highly recommend a visit to this establishment!!

A stop into this taco place yielded a small shop, so takeout to the splendid nearby park was a good…read moredecision. They have two vegetarian tacos, and I rather liked the more "real food" sweet potato and black bean than their tofu taco, but both were delicious. Upon seeing they had a seasonal special salsa; I was glad I took the option to order it as it was delectable and I liked it enough to haul what I didn't use back with me to save for another day. Their rice and beans have a vegetarian option, and given the option for various indulgences, I went for a semisweet chocolate cake, the sprinkles on which were unnecessary but fun. The salt level in something (or everything) was excessive, which had me gulping water. And it's a shame, because they could dial it back and this would still be some quality food.
