Margaritas are way over priced and weak This was $14 and they called it Grande. I didn't get any food I was over it after I saw the margarita read more

Garcia's Grill - $14 Grande Margarita - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Bowling Green, Kentucky

Yummy! They have great Mexican food! It's a little more upscale than your normal restaurant and I enjoy the change every once in a while. Definitely a must try if you love Mexican food! read more

Garcia's has great food, however very expensive compared to all other Mexican cuisine in town. Bandido is delicious, but a very small portion, and to get a double is $22. They charge extra for 2 bags chips and salsa, even when ordering 6 meals. A bowl of salsa is $10. The most ridiculous part is if YOU want to pick up your own food, that you already are paying for of course, they charge you $7. To pick up your food and LEAVE. Insane. Only restaurant I've been to that does it. Will impact if we return. read more

What has happened to this place? Service has declined while the prices substantially increased. Just spent $76 on a party of 3 with nothing more complex than nachos. Waitress got all our drink orders wrong, returned 4 times to clarity our food orders (and STILL got them wrong) and disappeared. Place is normally busy but with the lack of people, I think the word has gotten out - look elsewhere. read more

I ordered a grilled grouper. It was worst fish I have ever had. The fish is definitely NOT grilled in any standard. I am sorry but you spoiled my grouper. Why don't you simply deep fry it to make it even worse!? read more

Garcia's Grill - Grilled! Grouper - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Bowling Green, Kentucky

Upscale Mexican restaurant. Maybe a little pricy for the offerings but a good choice.

Just post Covid and we ordered to go. What a fantastic meal. They have excellent, conscientious folks in the kitchen preparing their delicious menu. read more

So frustrating when advertised hours don't match up to reality. So apparently Garcia's is not open on Monday nights, meaning I'll be be acting elsewhere tonight... and maybe next time too. read more

Passing through from Austin, I stopped in for dinner. So glad I chose this restaurant over Chuy's. I was greeted and seated promptly. Service was friendly and attentive. The margarita was well made and the salsa was authentic and tasty. I ordered Taco Loco tacos. Sautéed poblanos, beef and onions, served with quac, pico and tasty black beans. Delicious. The dining room is lovely with comfortable seating. If I lived in Bowling Green, I would be a regular. read more

Service is excellent. It's a community favorite. Food is solid. The ambiance is nice, although a bit crowded.

Just save yourself the disappointment and go to one of the other Mexican restaurants in town because this place needs a new chef/cook the food was the worst Mexican I've had. Only thing that was good was the queso but you can't really mess that up. read more

Very professional and very clean facility. The food is most excellent and the chips/salsa was some of the best I've ever had. This place is a hidden gem in the area! read more

Garcia's Grill - Grilled trout, black beans, mixed vegetables with cilantro lime sauce - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Bowling Green, Kentucky

Arrived for dinner and within 2 minutes I was greeted, seated and served ice water with a lemon. This Mexican restaurant however is similar to every other self proclaimed authentic Mexican restaurant I've ever visited. ....Chips, salsa, similar menu, music, decor... I had their "signature" fajitas ($12.95)...a good dish however the only part that stood apart from other restaurants was the very good guacamole. So, this place will meet your expectation if your looking for Mexican food...midwest American style. Btw, if you arrive ~5, don't sit in the front window facing the parking lot as the sun is brutal. Service was very good! read more

Garcia's Grill - Good Margaritas - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Bowling Green, Kentucky

Food lacked flavor and spice; felt like eating mush. Service was wonderful, nice staff. Ambiance was the same as the food-bland; doesn't feel(or taste) like a Mexican restaurant in any way. Salsa was good though. read more

Very nice atmosphere. Salsa was really great; blended very well. Presentation of food was nice and service was top notch. We had the spinach quesadilla and beef chimichanga. We'll be back! read more

Food was hot and service was super quick. Queso was okay but the chips were really good. Hawaiian quesadilla was very good! Chicken tacos had plenty of filling and rice was tasty. read more

Delicious. My family licked their plates clean. We even ordered 2nds. The food was quickly served and piping hot. My husband said the margarita was well made. read more

Great place, I always order the Chicken Banditios. I really like that at this location they give you the queso in a separate container so you can control how much you want on your dish (when taking out). Very Friendly people. read more

Fast service, friendly staff, chill atmosphere, and the food came out extremely fast. All I had was rice and beans (I'm on a diet) but they were excellent. read more

Whenever considering a Mexican restaurant, the very first qualification should always always always be: Salsa!! Garcia's has the best salsa in town! A good dose of flavor with a bit of a kick, and not so chunky that it's too difficult to scoop with the tortilla chips. My two staples at Garcia's (and all Mexican Restaurants) are the Chicken Taco Salad and the Chef Special (Chicken, Queso, and Rice). Both dishes are fairly bland and "typical" Mexican-style dishes, but the best part about ordering them at Garcia's is getting to layer on the salsa! This is the one Mexican restaurant I frequent the most in Bowling Green. I dine in the restaurant with a standard group of friends, ranging in ages under 5 and over 40. We've never left unsatisfied or hungry... any of us! There is typically enough seating, even when we have groups over ten people. Sunday lunch is usually crowded, but we usually sit down right away (the longest I've ever waited was about twenty minutes). Not horrible considering the wait at other places around this time. Also, the staff is very timely and always smiling and joking with us. A very welcoming atmosphere with great Mexican food!! read more

This place is not good at all. They sat us and never brought us menus. After 5 minutes I got up and grabbed them myself. Another 5 minutes and the server finally came. When we asked for the bill, he took his sweet time and even stopped to talk with all the other employees conjuring at the back of the restaurant. Women's restroom was gross. The paper towels were sitting on the counter in standing water. I dried my hands on my jeans. The food. Not bad, just not good. I asked for Carne Asada tacos. The limes they gave me had no juice (you know those ones that look normal, but have nothing). I find this a serious issue at a Mexican restaurant. My BF ordered steak fajitas. They were exactly the same as my tacos, just he made them himself. The best thing was the rice and beans, and even those weren't that great. We will not be returning. read more

Everything seemed fresh and moist. Some of the best carne asada tacos I've ever had. The meat was tender and perfectly seasoned. The onions were nicely sautéd and still had crunch to them, fresh jalapeños and pico on a corn tortilla make up one of the best tacos you'll find anywhere. The tamale was also very good but let's be honest when has a tamale ever been that bad or that great? Skip the tamale, unless you totally love them, and just order carne asada tacos. They'll bring you chips and salsa which is good but ask for the hot salsa. Very flavorful and good amount of spice without killing you. read more

I got their veggie fajitas, which had a lot of great veggies and were cooked great. Their beans were fantastic, rice was a bit crunchy. My biggest issue was nobody on staff seemed to know what was in their food. I asked about some of their sauces being gluten free, and I think 5 or 6 people came to my table to ask what I was talking about. I eventually just asked if they used white flour to thicken up their sauces and still nobody knew if they did or not. So I went with something else. The salsa was pretty good, but those black beans were so flavorful. I think they were my favorite thing I had. read more

I love their steak fajitas and shrimp. The shrimp is cooked SOOO delicious. Always nice to us, great service, never have to wait too long.

Great/fresh salsa, HUGE margaritas!, really good chicken tacos that are not drenched in cheese, even the chimichanga was lightly fried and not too healthy. Good for kids and lively atmosphere. Super fast service. Friendly. read more

Garcia's Grill - now that's a margarita - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Bowling Green, Kentucky

Passing thru town and read the other reviews. This place is great. Everything was fresh. Will return read more

I live out of town and any time I come to BG this is my go to spot. Such a fresh healthy take on Mexican.

Garcia's catered a work party with a taco bar and everything was a total success! The customer service was excellent, the food was delicious and very reasonably priced! Everyone enjoyed the experience and would 100% recommend this restaurant! Thank you, Garcia's! read more

As a Hispanic I was terribly unimpressed. The sauces are all watered down. When ordering a dish with some "HEAT" they gave me bland. If you want to be a bland American who goes for a gringo version of a taco salad and margarita, knock yourself out at this joint. But I guarantee you it is far from Mexican cuisine. read more

Passing through Bowling Green visiting my brother at WKU and checked Yelp to find the best Mexican place. Garcia's was the highest rating and it did not disappoint! I went with another reviewer's recommendation and got the fish tacos. They were fresh and EXCELLENT. The side of black beans and rice were a great compliment. The black beans had Parmesan on them so it made for a great flavor. Chips and salsa were delicious and the service was great! Well priced, a good value. Highly recommend. read more

Garcia's Grill - Fish Tacos, excellent flavor and value. Filled me up! - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Bowling Green, Kentucky

Excellent restaurant. Chips light and crispy, salsa one of the best I've had. Had the Enchiladas Rancheras. Excellent! Have been to Garcias Grill several times over the last 6 months. Will keep coming back when I'm in town read more

The best, most AUTHENTIC Mexican food BG has to offer. The menu is more unique than your typical Mexican restaurant (not to mention so delicious). The service is quick and great. Also, BLACKBERRY. MARGARITAS. One of my favorites. read more

It's difficult to imagine one Mexican restaurant being much different from another. It's even more difficult to think that there are artists in the kitchen preparing the meals. Yet, that's exactly what Garcia's has going for it over the competition. The food was outstanding and the plating was beautiful. Visually appealing and tasty. What else can you ask for ? The simpler items were also carefully thought out as well. Like thin crispy chips. Salsa with just the right amount of heat. And really good margaritas ! Service was top notch. Atmosphere was good. Prices are reasonable. The owners of Garcia's have tweaked this restaurant into a fine tuned machine. Congratulations. I loved everything about it. read more

Best salsa and best fish tacos in town. This is a very clean and well-decorated place. It looks upscale.

Not the best Mexican place in town, but not the worst. Lots of tasty options. The space it's self is kind of small. I went with a group once and felt crowded. read more

Best Mexican I've ever had! The service is always great and I have never had anything bad from here. Me and my boyfriend go all the time and it's always great! read more

If zero stars was an option they would get zero stars. I had never eaten here before, but I had always heard great things about this particular Mexican restaurant, so I decided to take my girlfriend there for dinner. They weren't particularly busy, and we were seated after a short wait. They brought us menus, chips and salsa (which wasn't good at all), gave us a couple minutes, and asked us what we wanted to drink. We ordered waters and they were promptly delivered. We received no further acknowledgment from anyone who worked there, even though we could see them standing at the back, doing nothing. Ate all the chips and salsa and drank all of our water. We sat for 30 minutes. Never going back. read more

I don't have much to say other than that the food is bland, the ambiance is obnoxious, and the menu is pretty much the same as any other Mexican joint. I'm a fajita connoisseur, and my chicken fajitas from this place were horrible. read more

Really dissatisfied after arriving and being told there was only coke and sweet tea to drink, then shortly after receiving the menu seeing there was far more options. I knew right away I was going to eat food in the same category as taco bell after seeing MULITAS being made with flour tortillas. Para los gavachos esta bien pero no manches tanto. Un tristeza. read more

Other than the awkward greeting from our waiter, the waitstaff at Garcia's was friendly and helpful. The interior is, ehh, nothing cool... but, hey, this is a Mexican restaurant we're talking about. Minus a star for an ugly, semi-gross bathroom. Maybe it's weird, but a restaurant's bathrooms need to be in tip-top shape in order for the restaurant to pull five stars out of me. The food was excellent. As Ashley S said in her review, the salsa is the perfect texture and the perfect taste. The salsa has a citrus twist to it--and usually I'm not a fan of citrus in salsa--but it's a winner at Garcia's. I had the chicken fajitas ("Garcia's Fajitas") and they were great--lots of sizzling, lots of deliciousness. Bottom line: Garcia's is a solid choice for Mexican food in BG. I recommend it. read more
