    Taco Plate
    Caitlin V.

    Today was my first time visiting La Nena's and it was great! I got their taco plate with horchata and both were delicious and authentic. Also, it's so much cheaper compared to the other taco places around, without lacking quality or flavor. Will definitely be back

    Quesasilla frita de tinga de pollo. $3.49
    Yessica S.

    I like this place, food is close to real mexican food taste . Love the quesadilla frita made of tinga de pollo! Try the pambazos too... eat your food there because mexican food taste better when is hot...just don't go to the restroom

    Chile Relleno - so yummy!
    Love To E.

    Had the Chile (Poblano) Relleno - so good! Authentic and great price! Would definitely be back!

    Enchiladas de Chile Verde con pollo (Chicken Green Enchiladas). Never settle for shredded cheese, real enchiladas come with Queso Fresco
    Rosalind L.

    So authentic, I really love eating here. Whenever I'm craving m momma's Mexican home cooking, this place fills my tummy well. Nothing I've had here has been disappointing: tacos, flautas, enchiladas. And the service is friendly and welcoming. Simple and easily overlooked but I usually can't help stopping by after getting my gas tank filled at the Shell station nearby.

    Gordita de barbacoa.

    If you want authentic Mexican food and you are in Garland TX, visit this place food is very delicious. Must drink a coke in a bottle with your order.

Many times you go and eat enchiladas and the chicken is flavorless, Not Here. Chicken Enchiladas is Very Tasty the chicken itself is seasoned, together with the toppings makes for perfection. The Chimmi filled with Brisket was Excellent. Just the right amount of crispness with a smooth tender center, The sour cream and cheese topping was Delicious, The cheese topping is very good. Everything was served piping hot, Im thinking everything is made from a Family recipe like I say.. made with not only skilled hand but with pride, not many places serve food made with pride. They are Happy to serve you. Very friendly place. The waiting staff is fast to Take your order with smiles and are actually Very happy to give fast friendly service. The Dinning area is spacious with a decorative decor, Solid real tables, not those fake cheaply made tables like Panchos...Really tables for Real comfort, I don't know about yall but to me that means alot, no wobbly water glass spilling tables. Built for a Real Family. It kinda give you a Home Feeling. Most places have plastic fake plants... Well Here they are real. Snake plants, ivy plants and you can tell they are very well cared for. I've eaten in a lot of places that have decor with dust gathering on them, I can mention a few places where the dust hides from lack of real cleaning. Well, be sure this is not one of those places, you will enjoy clean fresh atmosphere here, its relaxing. Ernesto has come a long way for a family restaurant. No commercial hands here, all home made, not stuff out of a can. Theres plenty of seating, so if your tired of the same Ole chain restaurant bla bla. This is the place to go for lunch, dinner or happy hour for a nice meal. They do have a bar , what Mexican Restaurant doesn't...wait take that back...any Real Mexican Restaurant does. Well the menu has great choices, Try them out, Im sure you guys will enjoy the Atmosphere and the cuisine are Great. Oh..don't be surprised if you get addicted to Real Mexican Cuisine.

The green cream salsa was delicious and not spicy. My friends spoke highly of the cabeza tacos. However, they thought the birria tacos were less successful and were disappointed they didn't come with any broth for dipping.

I was actually wanting a grapefruit Jarritos, but they did not have it. The young lady who took my order said the Squirt was Hecho en Mexico, so I took it. I didn't even know Squirt was grapefruit flavor. It did the trick! Anyways... back to the reason I stopped in - Tacos! The Tacos de Trompo were served hot and fresh and they were quite tasty. They were served with fresh cilantro and onions and two small lime wedges. They were also a few grilled onion slivers and a grilled Serrano on my plate. The young lady who took my order was friendly and was kind enough to bring my food out to my table. I really appreciated that! The only negative aspects of the meal were that I would have liked to have had more cilantro and onions, and either one more lime slice or two larger lime slices to begin with. Also, the lime slices I got were a little aged, but I still managed to squeeze out just barely enough. The house made green and red hot sauces were not very hot at all. That was kind of a bummer. All in all, I would visit Taqueria Garcia's again. So, if you're in the neighborhood and have a hankering for Street Tacos, you should give this spot a go. I did not visit the restroom, but because it was obviously not inside the restaurant, I assumed it had to be accessible only from the outside. No biggie with that. Tacos... one cannot go wrong with Tacos! Eat well. Be well. Cheers!

Unfortunately, since the ownership change, the experience just hasn't been the same. The customer service is still decent, and I genuinely enjoy their spicy Mexican martini -- that's honestly the main reason I still stop by. However, the food quality has noticeably declined. Over the past year, I've experienced stomach issues after eating here, which had never happened to me before under the previous ownership. I'm not sure if it's a change in ingredients, preparation methods, or sourcing, but something is clearly different. It's disappointing because this used to be a go-to spot. I truly hope the new management takes a closer look at the food quality and consistency. There's a strong history here, and it would be great to see it restored.

We've gone three times and each time we've gotten the same items. Quality and taste never changed- on one occasion we went pretty close to their closing time and STILL...great quality and service. Definitely a recommend!
