I used to order from this spot all the time, but they closed for renovations for a while. I was really excited to see them open again and stopped by one evening for dinner to go. I ordered the Steak Cozumel -- an 8 oz ribeye with a cheese enchilada, rice, and beans -- plus a small queso with chips. Customer service was friendly, but the food this time was just okay. In the past, I remember the flavors being outstanding, but it didn't quite live up to that on this visit. The tortillas also tasted store-bought, which was disappointing. That said, I've had amazing meals here before, so I'm hopeful they'll get back to the quality I remember. I'll definitely give them another try down the road.

Brisket plate
Allison S.

Everything was amazing. We got seated quickly, our server was so friendly & gave us great recommendations. The chips and salsa are addicting. $6 margs during happy hour! We ordered the brisket plate and it was delicious!! The flour tortillas were so soft and we left happy and full

Tamale plate
Courtney B.

We happened to find this gem while looking for a place downtown. Party of 3 seated almost immediately around 3p. The restaurant was quite packed but staff were attentive and friendly, great service the entire time. The menu is quite large with lots of great options. We did beef nacho appetizers, chicken enchiladas and tamale plate. Everything was delicious and tasted authentic. Would definitely go again

Favorite place to eat!!! Best Mexican food in the county. Staff is fast and super nice. Prices are awesome.

Kids pancake plate

Garcia's is such a great spot in downtown Buda! The food is absolutely delicious and the margarita was super strong (granted, I'm a lightweight ). The staff is always friendly and the newly remodeled interior looks fantastic. We also love sitting on the covered porch which is perfect for extra seating and enjoying the atmosphere.

Pappa Ranchera potato egg and bacon.

I ordered a Papa Ranchera taco from Garcias Mexican in Buda, and to be honest, I was extremely disappointed. Anyone who's ever ordered Papa Rancheras here before knows exactly what to expect -- potatoes cooked in a flavorful ranchera sauce, with that signature red color and seasoning. What I received was completely different: just plain potatoes, eggs, and bacon in a tortilla, with no sauce or flavor. It looked like something thrown together without care, and definitely not what I paid for. I spoke with Esmeralda, who claimed to be the manager, and she told me this location is owned by a different family member and therefore "does things differently." I explained to her that the sign outside still says Garcias Mexican, and as a customer, I expect the same quality and consistency at any location under that name. That's part of what builds trust with a brand. Her response didn't address the issue -- and honestly, it made the experience even more frustrating. I've been a customer of Garcias for years and have always associated the name with good food and consistency. This visit did not reflect that standard. If this location is going to operate differently, customers deserve to know upfront -- or better yet, they should raise their quality to match the reputation that the Garcias name is known for.

Steak Cozumel
James K.

My fiancé and I came here again for dinner last night, and had another great experience. Rosie was our waitress this time and she did a great job taking care of us. As for the food, the guacamole was solid. The steak Cozumel my fiancé got was really good. And the fajita quesadillas with chicken were solid, with a very large portion size. Prices were very reasonable too. Another good experience here. We will be back again!

Shrimp fajitas
angel y.

This restaurant was recently reopened, and the food was absolutely delicious. I've been to another location before and enjoyed the food so I decided to give this place a try. The chips were very crunchy and complimented very well with the salsa. The shrimp were huge and very flavorful, the charro beans are highly recommended. The staff were very friendly, and the restaurant was very clean. If you're in town I recommend going to this restaurant.

I guess I am used to the Mexican food from California. The food here was sub-par. Didn't taste authentic at all. Disappointed for sure.

Stumbled across this place walking downtown and I love me a good coffee place, so I gave it a try…read more It did not dissapoint. I tried their special a blueberry crisp with 1/2 moonmilk cold. Super good. So good I went back the next day and tried a drip and I walked out with two bags of beans to bring back home to Cali.

I've been to this location many times, and the drinks are always delicious! However, I've never…read morereally been able to see the area where the drinks are made since our orders are usually ready pretty quickly. Unfortunately, this time I did, and I was very disappointed by what I saw. One employee was eating behind the line where drinks were being prepared, touched her face, and then proceeded to make drinks without washing her hands. Another employee was handing out a drink and accidentally dipped her hand into a guest's drink. To top it off, one of the tools used to mix the drinks was quickly wiped with what appeared to be a dirty rag and then immediately used to mix the next drink without being properly washed or sanitized. This is a serious cross-contamination concern. The dining room was also very dirty, which made the overall experience even more disappointing. I really hope management sees this review and addresses these issues immediately. I've always enjoyed coming to this location, but what I witnessed today was extremely unsanitary and concerning, especially for a business handling food and beverages.

We asked about happy eand learned beer was 15% off. They did run out of the nachos. The brussel sprouts were good at $12 but the waitress made it sound bigger than it was. We ordered a couple things to share and a chicken sandwich with a side choice of 1/2 Caesar salad. We also tasted a couple beers and made our 16 ounce choice. What we didn't like was how often we were asked if we wanted something else when we said we were going to wait to see how the 3 things we ordered would be. When we were done, she was nowhere to be found so I went to the front for our bill which was wrong. She charged for the samples $7 less 15% and $2 for the half salad. There was never a mention of theses charges so the manager kindly removed them. This place was not for us. The ambiance was bright with tables. A huge wine area.

Yooooo this place was good. I got too much ice cream though!…read more I haven't tried their popsicles, but I bet they would be good!

Since we're not from the South Austin area we wanted to try a dessert spot down there while…read morevisiting a friend and he highly recommended La Ola Pop Shop down in Kyle. Luckily for us, his recommendation was spot on as La Ola is a great little ice cream shop with a large variety of different cures to whatever your sweet tooth desires. Parking is pretty accessible as it's in a small strip of stores and restaurants and there's ample outdoor seating as well to take in a nice summer night. The interior of the store is also nice and clean, making you feel like you're in a well run place from the moment you step in. We ordered a banana pudding scoop in a cone and a scoop of the Cookie Monster in a cup. The line here moves pretty quickly which is good so we didn't have to wait long from the moment we entered to the moment we began eating outside. The ice cream was delicious. The banana pudding tastes just as advertised with chunks of Nilla wafer throughout the bites, incredibly spot on. The Cookie Monster also tasted great, essentially a cookies and cream scoop dyed blue, but why not have a bit of fun with it? The whole experience was great and if ice cream isn't your thing they have numerous other options like shakes and ice pops to get you by. The only ding we can think of is that the trash outside was overrunning and looked like it hadn't been changed in hours. Nevertheless, we're very glad we stopped by here to get a sweet treat and would highly recommend it to anyone in the far South Austin/Kyle area looking to cool off on a summer night.
