    We were a table of 6 adults and 4 children. It was the first time that we try out this restaurant and we were all pleasantly surprised! We heard good things from other people, but didn't expect the food to be that good and authentic. Ambiance is cute, you definitely get a feel of a Mexican resto/vibe when you walk in - wish it was bigger and with more parking space. I highly recommend the fajita plate that comes with chicken, meat, and shrimps (good for 2-3 depending on how hungry you are). The kids meals came out right away, which was great. We had a child accidentally break a plate and they were cool about it. If you like Mexican food, you should give this place a try!

    It's just ok. I had asked for no onions sub mushrooms. Onions were in the dish and very little mushrooms. A lot of sauce. It was tasty but think it's over priced. Service was good.

    I give this place 10 stars not 5. Delish food every time we've gone (3x's). Friendly wait staff. The red salsa free with the starter chips is A+ 10 out of 10. Parking is limited but the food makes it all worth it.

    Carnitas de Puerco - YUM. Meat was excellently cooked and seasonsd

    This place is GREAT! Great food, cute space and attentive, friendly service. My partner and I came in tonight on a Wednesday night at around 7:30 and it was still busy when we left at 8:15! We ordered the Deluxe Camaron Enchilada and the Carnitas de Puerco. The food was flavorful with good quality ingredients -- even the rice was so good! The portions are generous and my partner cleaned his plate! Here's a pro tip: ASK FOR HOT SAUCE. Oh my goodness. They make it in house and if they bottled it I'd buy it! It is that good!! The food was already great but a dab of the tomatillo sauce even brought it to next level! I was in flavor heaven. We are definitely coming back! And next time I'm ordering a margarita!!

    Tucked away in a corner close to two awkwardly placed stoplights is a little Mexican gem with tight parking on an incline. But all of that doesn't take away from what Plaza Garcia has to offer. If you are looking for superior customer service and great food at a reasonable (inflation-adjusted) price, this is it. On a hot summer day after a trip to the Juanita Friday market, we decided to grab some dinner even though it felt early bird(ish). The corn on the cob and the Salvadorian Horchata that we consumed at the market generated a kind of half empty half full hunger. We had driven by Plaza Garcia enough times to not ignore the 100% reopening and the packed tables. We caved! A decision that proved right I would say. We were seated right away and offered the traditional salsa and tortilla chips. We asked for hot salsa and the waitstaff got us 2 (a tomatillo and a chili). Very tasty and what can you say when you are offered seconds given that we ordered the Molcajete which does take time to make. We also got the vegetarian burrito. We were quite pleased with the Molcajete served with flour tortillas even though we could not figure out where the Nopales were hiding. Some of the best grilled meats and seafood. The rice and beans did not stand out as much...sort of like "La Preferida" if you know what I mean. The vegetarian burrito was decent though it lacked sauce on the bottom which would have really enhanced the flavor. Overall, a great experience and am sure it wasn't the hunger writing this review :-) If you are looking to support small businesses, Plaza Garcia deserves your best shot.

    The chicken was cooked perfectly. The veggies were seasoned to perfection. So many places over cook their veggies but not here. They still retained a little crunch and bright colors. Peach Margarita sealed the deal. Best ever

    My daughter was looking forward to bringing me here. Finally made it out here to check it out. The place was small but cozy. We were coming from a walk along the beach with our pup so we were able to sit outside on the patio. It was a beautiful day. I asked for a flavored tea. The gentlemen serving us said he can make any flavor tea, he even threw out a few suggestions. I took him up on the Mango tea. Was not one bit sorry! Great flavor, sweet, not too sweet and just very refreshing. My daughter loves the queso fundido with chorizo. It was pretty good. A little salty but I'm wondering if that was the seasonings in the chorizo,., I still ate it. The Tacos Garcia were a little disappointing. Taste was a bit bland. I added salsa, which was very tasty BTW, but it didn't help much. Now the tacos with the carne asada were spot on!! Goodness they were so delicious. Beans and rice were ok. Gentleman assisting us was super sweet. Kinda forgot about us a bit but I did enjoy our conversation. I would go back.

    I don't know who needs to hear this but honestly if you are in the mood for American Mexican…read morecuisine, you cannot go wrong here, but not only that, their drinks and their desserts are just as good (especially that caramel cake with pepitas when its around). I ordered my fav which is the chimichanga in chicken (please be aware shrinkflation is real and this little guy has definitely shrunk lol) still tasty and plenty for one person. We also ordered the Burrito Lanera, which is ginormous and I believe a seasonal Shrimp Tamale as well, both were very flavorful, but between the two I think the Burrito won. As always the Hibiscus Mango Sour is a clear winner and favorite with the fam so make sure you try it out if you haven't already Shout out to the wait staff, you guys are awesome and just to note for whatever reason it's quieter at the bar than the family section so if your wanting less noise that's the place to be

The bar was indoor only and it was a lovely day, so we sacrificed the discount for the sun. They have a fabulous mocktail selection at reasonable prices! I got a ginger mint fizz and it was so good- not overly sweet and just as cute as my friends' cocktails. Loved all the options. The queso was good too. I am vegetarian and they were able to have the meat on the side for us, which was lovely. I usually get the seafood enchiladas, which are amazing, but wanted something cold on a hot day. The waitress recommended the poke bowl, which I had never even heard of, and it was phenomenal! Refreshing, ample protein, great seasoning. Loved it and would get it again. I love that they have a whole gluten free menu online, makes it so easy for me. I will say, service is a bit on the slow side if you sit outside. Just much harder to waive down your server. We waited about 20+ min between her coming to our table, so we ended up being there about 2 hours when we could have been done in one otherwise.

I need to caveat this review with I am a bit picky on tacos and awful at talking to people sometimes. Together that means, the fish taco is being compared to what I can get in San Diego and the latter is why I had all these tacos without salsa. All the tacos are fairly small so good snacking size. The size makes sense since the usual price is less than $3. The carne asada and carnitas are not bad. They would all benefit from eating with salsa. The fish taco was disappointing. I usually really like the sauce on a fish taco but this didn't stand out to me. It probably needed a bit of lime. Overall, it's good for taco tuesday. It's not somewhere I would go regularly. It is a local business that does encourage silly things, like a speed eating contest for the Totem Lake run club. Something that obviously worked because I spent money and watched.
