I'm not sure what the issue was, but finally another person came on to take our order. There didn't seem to be a language barrier and we were speaking clearly so again, I'm not sure what the issue was but it wasn't a big deal. We received our entire order, as ordered. I can't comment on the ambience because we didn't go inside. Every time I've been inside Garcia's though it's been clean and tidy. I will definitely be visiting Garcia's more often. Their carne adovada is top notch! Why not go and grab some right now?

The food was good, though I was still a little concerned about possible cross-contamination. Overall, the experience was okay.

This year for Christmas we got a quart of red chile and some tamales and they did not disappoint! I only learned of this place within the last year and I will definitely be back again and again! Seriously you have to try the red chile!!! #supportlocal

They came out piping hot and were absolutely huge. I ordered the larges but I think the regular easily would be enough food. They even have an option to get it without the tortilla for those watching carbs or calories. I had the Carne Adovada burrito with the red chile and it was probably one of the best breakfast scrambles I have ever had. Everything tasted delicious. All of the people I got breakfast for commented how good it was and how they want it again next time we are in town. I was there at 7 AM and there were no cars in the drive through. The employee was polite and answered my questions as I had several special requests. The building is small and I didn't go inside so I can't comment on the cleanliness but it looks good from the outside. If you've never tried Stripes... do so!! Highly recommended!!

Our outing…read moretoday is to one of our favorite long-established local establishments that has at least one item on the menu that is not always seen: Fideo or Mexican Spaghetti. We really like this excellent food, the efficient service, the retro atmosphere, and the central location near Menaul and Candaleria. The carne adovade and red chile were just perfect, but there were eight of us, and we all had something different. Just click the following YouTube video link and join the boys and one girl from the VA creative writing group as they enjoy their lunch at Richard's Mexican Restaurant.
