    We really enjoyed our first visit here. You order at the counter, and they bring your food to you. Chips & salsa are complimentary. Prices were reasonable and portion sizes were perfect; not too much, and not too little. I had the birria burrito bowl, minus salsa & onions. They prepared it exactly as I asked. It was served in a real bowl, layers of Mexican goodness. I would definitely have this again. My wife ordered two black bean tacos. They are authentic street-type tacos; this ain't Taco Bell! She said they were well seasoned and had more of those layers of good stuff. I liked that they had the Dodgers game on the TV, but that wouldn't have been a deal breaker. We will come back!

    We love Garcia's! The food is always consistent, delicious and reasonably priced! The staff are friendly and the restaurant is open and clean. An easy stop for any meal!

    We dropped in after disk golf ten minutes before closing and ordered to go and they were willing to take our order happily and get us our food. As always, the place was clean and the chips and salsa bar we stocked up and tasty.We were able to eat outside and the food was great. Love this place. Thank you Garcia's!

    Ordered a couple of ala carte items. Haven't been to the new location. As most of you regulars know most is a fave of yours. The place was very clean with plenty of tables, salsa bar and a real good women's restroom. The food is served on thick, hard plastic plates. I don't believe because of the rainy day as kitchens are always hot, the plates are just at the above cold level, warm would be nice and kept in a warmer. The food was tasty, could of been hotter with the cheese melted more like burn your mouth like other places that use potholders to carry them. Yes, I know it is plastic they could be warm.

    Moved to AG in '95. Pismo had Tio Alberto's. For all South County, Garcia's is just like it. Large, great for the go, burritos! I was told that they are related and the salsa's, chips, rice, are the same. Garcia's used to be in a little hole-in-the-wall on EL Camino. Now, they are a little further down and took over an old bank. Now they have plenty of seating inside and out. Very clean. They are always very outgoing and deliver awesome service. I ordered the Lg Pollo Verde Burrito, no beans. The burrito was actually a little small compared to what it normally is. Huge tortilla, fluffy rice, with a little sweetness/bite from carrots and peas in it. The cheese is melted. I wish they put a little more cheese. The Pollo Verde is always very flavorful, salty, tangy, juicy, smokey, vinegary and acidity. Fresh chopped white onion and cilantro add freshness, bite, and that beautiful fragrance that lets you taste the tradition. I wish the chips were cooked to order, instead on a warming tray. The homemade salsa's are great, all levels of heat. The price now is a little steep, my burrito was +$18. *Would be 5/5 if the burritos sizes were more consistent, a little more cheese always and the chips were fresh.*

    Gigantic burrito.

    The food and the service are utterly amazing! The salsa bar doesn't hurt either! I especially like their chorizo breakfast burritos!

    My favorite burritos in A-Town! I've been to a few other spots in the area, but Garcia's will always be my go-to spot.

I didn't get our waiter's name, but he was very friendly, welcomed us and told us we could sit wherever we would like and he took our order. He was Very friendly, very playful, which we enjoyed very much talking to him during our order. I Had lunch with my coworker. I ordered the Chile Verde plate. The meat was very tender and the chili sauce that was in it was not spicy but had a good flavor. The beans and rice gave it a great touch cause they both had a really good flavor as well. It came with either corn or flour tortillas which I ordered the corn tortillas which were very soft and tasted homemade. I will definitely eat there again when I'm in town. But you will have to go there and eat to form your own opinion.

    Mmm! This restaurant has the best tacos and most friendly service ever. This is our 2nd time here…read moreand it's going to be our regular stop when we drive up and down from the bay are to SoCal. I love getting the 2 taco plate with Chile verde and carnitas and my husband gets shrimp or fish dishes. We also enjoy the freshly made complimentary chips and salsa. We had a friendly female server our first time and this time we met Nacho who was so nice and welcoming. We could tell that the place really prioritizes their customer service along with their food. We will be back!
