For some reason, I had to re-add this business to Yelp. I think it was because of the address change? I have picked up breakfast tacos for the family multiple times and we enjoy they every time! The tortillas are amazing, both flour and corn. There is usually a line of people picking up tacos every Saturday morning when I go. The chorizo, potato, egg, bacon and beans are the best toppings and I would not recommend the sausage. The salsa roja y verde are not the best but they get the job done. I wish they had more heat! HUGE shout out to Sydni for being so patient with the troublesome customers at the register. I've seen her deal with some rough folks... The manager is young and is always busy in the kitchen; she is very strict but admirable. From when I have read here and from what I have heard, I would probably not dine in but just do take out. read more

Sal's Garpez - Store front - Mexican Near Me - College Station, Texas

I've read good reviews but the breakfast tacos are mediocre at best. Other menu options may be better, but I've only been once and haven't tried them. read more

I came here and there was hair in my food never coming back! I cannot believe they let someone work with their hair down

Great service and delicious food! We tried the chiles rellenos and highly recommend them. The homemade tortillas were a standout. Quick service and a nice, welcoming atmosphere. read more

I went there for the first time yesterday. The staff is so very friendly! Except for an older gentleman (possibly the owner?) who I spoke to twice and smiled as I greeted him whereas he...wasn't rude but wasn't friendly (he didn't smile or greet me back unlike the rest of the staff). The place was clean. Prices are reasonable. Portions are large. But...the food was a bit bland. It was lacking flavor. The refried beans were quite dry. The barbacoa was a bit dry and stringy (you really have to chew it as it was a little rubbery). I will go back again because the portions and price are good and try something different to give it a 2nd chance or to simply see the wonderful staff again. read more

IF you're going to go to this place, ONLY get take out tacos. Everything else is by far the worst you'll ever have. The service is absolutely terrible so don't dine in....unless you have an hour of your life to waste. Don't bother trying to order your take out ahead of time either, they'll either not answer or hang up on you when they do. We really had high hopes for this place so we gave them lots of chances but every time just get worse then the last....Honestly, save your time and money and just go to Polly's. read more

Yummy tacos! So happy we found them! We all want different types of tacos and they have them all!!

This spot has become our go to Mexican restaurant. Family owned and run this place is awesome. The cheese enchiladas are the best in town. Don't miss their breakfast tacos or taco salads! Reasonably priced, great service and totally yummy! read more

This is some the worst food in town! it doesn't even fall into a worst Mexican food category because it would be an insult to the culture to call it Mexican food. don't waste your money and don't abuse your taste buds here- there's so many other places to eat! read more

The food is good... service was not so great. I went at opening one morning and the woman at the window proceeded to lecture me about ordering ahead so as not to cause a back up in the drive though. I went back two days later - this time I called ahead. 20 minutes for two breakfast tacos.... I arrive there are 3 cars in the drive though. So I tried to go in. That was a waste of time they have the entire inside blocked off due to COVID. I got back in line and waited 20 minutes to get to the window and another 10 to get my food. Not sure how ordering over the phone helped me much.... I really didn't appreciate the lecture. This could be managed a lot better if someone would love their order and pull forward. I guess handling a drive though isn't their main concern. read more

Lived near this place in College and it was wonderful. Great breakfast tacos (I liked mine with egg, potato, and chorizo), menudo, salsa. They used to do a really good business despite only having a few tables. Lot of to go orders. read more

My husband and I have been coming here for years and the food is consistently great, the coffee amazing and the service fantastic! Don't be afraid of eating in a gas station. It's great, authentic Mexican food. There's one gal just hand-making tortillas. There's a reason these folks have been in business for 16 years. I will continue to support this mom and pop place. Love it! read more

My go to place for REAL tacos in college Station, I work about a mile up the road from Garpez,the wait is very little, I usually call in my order and pick it up on my lunch break, their customer service is amazing, these girls are always friendly and always greet me with a smile! I definitely recommend them for breakfast and lunch, they are the only place I know in town that serves menudo daily! read more

First of all, I have never dine in a gas station so I was initially very hesitant to try out this place. But given the excellent reviews on the menudo, I convinced myself to visit. I was raised eating menudo and have had menudos from several cities in Mexico and California, so I guess you can say I am snobbish about my menudo. So when I received my menudo I was relief that the meat did not look nasty. It looked good. UNFORTUNATELY, it lacked flavor and spicies, I was dissapointed. I did not eat it all and i will not buy it again. However, staff was nice and will be coming back to try other menu items. --------------- Update : Chiles rellenos are great (see picture). read more

Sal's Garpez - Great chile rellenos, fideos, and frijoles charros. - Mexican Near Me - College Station, Texas

Best breakfast tacos in College Station. Homemade tortillas (even if they're on the small side), homemade tortilla chips, and homemade salsa (best chips and salsa in town!). Next time you go, try the chorizo, egg, and cheese breakfast taco if you haven't already. Just be aware that there is very little seating inside (it's in a gas station) so the drive-thru is probably your best bet. read more

Very helpful and patient staff. Super friendly and clean. Unfortunately beans are not vegetarian...but really appreciate their telling me this. Other people would probably appreciate beans with bacon grease though. Enchilada sauce was fairly bland and unexciting. Rice was pretty good. As other reviews state, there are probably dishes they are better at. read more

The breakfast tacos are the absolute best thing Garpez makes! The chips and salsa are served all day and they are always a plus at 8am. Rock on College Station, TX read more

As an experiment, I ordered the same breakfast tacos here I previously got at La Familia. The result: 1. I paid a little over $5 at La Famila, and roughly $9.00 here. 2. 60 cents of that was the illegal debit card fee they charge. 3. The tortillas were decent, but lesser quality than La Familia. 4. The tacos were noticeably smaller. Its not that they were bad. But the stark price difference here kind of makes it hard for me to go to one vs. the other now for my breakfast taco fix. read more

I loved the food and the service was wonderful. Family owned business with great homemade salsa to die for. I ordered breakfast tacos and was very happy to have done so. Now my kids want to go all the time. Great spot to eat. read more

Usually one does not expect to have good food out of a gas station but here is Garpez to prove me wrong. One of the things that make for a good breakfast taco are the tortilla and the salsa. Any restaurant whether big or small who take the effort to make homemade tortillas definitely get a big thumbs up from me. The food was good and filling. Bacon was a little crispy and the eggs were fluffy and delicious. read more

This placed used to be a lot better, but it has gone down hill very quickly. When the mom was there, it was my favorite restaurant in CS. However, the decline has to do with the son taking over the business. When the mom was there, it was great. The soup was good, portions decent and very fair prices. Now everything went up and the plates are quite small. The son was pretty rude to my gf when she asked for some chips to go. Haven't been back since. The very limited hours (only during lunch) make this quite an impossible task for most people. Also, it makes me feel bad to see 8 year old children waiting on the tables. read more

This place is seriously the best! The workers are always friendly and welcoming. Their chips and salsa are the BEST. We go here every single weekend for breakfast tacos as well because they have amazing homemade tortillas and great tacos! We also pop in for Menudo when they have it and the occasional lunches. read more

My favorite Mexican breakfast or quick lunch place! The migas plate is excellent and for lunch I get a cheese enchilada and a crispy beef taco. It's best to get it to go since it is located inside a convenience store and seating is very limited. Very friendly staff as well. read more

The quality of the barbacoa is superb. However the service is deplorable. They got my order wrong and when I notified them of the situation the manager proceeded to tell me that I was confused and that that was in fact what I had ordered. read more

Been eating here for sometime and food is always good and the people are great. Tell your friends best little spot in town

Not great. The price isn't too bad but the taco I got was underwhelming. The meat was still very chewy to the point where it hurt my jaw. I really don't get the hype with this place. read more

Love, love, love! A friend took me here for breakfast and it was a little weird going into a gas station to eat breakfast but the food rocked so I'm not concerned with the location. The staff is always super nice and the food has been spot on. Chips and salsa a tasty and my favorite item is the breakfast taco. Portions are plentiful. They are closed for most holidays which is a bummer but it is a family restaurant so I understand. read more

Don't let the location throw you off. This place has solid breakfast tacos! The tortillas are fresh and AMAZING.

Love the soup here and the enchilada special. The only problem is that they are open only for breakfast & lunch. I would highly recommend take out for their great tamales too as these are really good! Owners work hard & aim to please. read more

Wow! A restaurant that really knows how to make people's day start off on the bad side. But I will turn it around and it's going to be a positive day! Garpez can not ruin my day. There are always other places to dine. :-) This is a restaurant that I have dined at on a regular basis for the last 12 years, and absolutely love their breakfast tacos over any other in town, has just caused me, a regular customer, to decide that Fuego's will be my restaurant of choice for breakfast now! This morning I had wanted tacos for breakfast from Garpez Authentic Mexican Food located at 2601 Harvey Rd College Station, TX. They have a sign on their window that they charge a service fee, but if you use a credit card or pay with cash that fee is waived. I paid with my debit/credit card and was charged this fee. I questioned it and was told because I used the debit card the fee would be applied. I explained, while being interrupted many times by the owner/manager, that I was never given the option to use it as a credit card, but they automatically used it as a debit, which I never do and don't know how they did without asking for my pin. So I asked them to cancel it and handed them a card which is only a credit card to apply it to. The owner, very rudely, said I will just refund your money. And his daughter took my food back. This was not the outcome that I was looking for nor did I ask for. The owner coming back asking for my signature of the cancellation said "I hope your day gets better." I informed him that I would be posting a comment regarding this on his business pages. He said, anybody that knew me would know that I was in the wrong. WOW! I guess that I will never suggest this place to any out of town visitors or local people that I may come across again, and I did, ALL OF THE TIME. So sad because they were my favorite in town. read more

We have been going to this little family owned Mexican restaurant for many years and really used to love it. Things have changed hower since the original owners retired and a younger crew took over. I am sad to say that we will not be going back there anymore because the food is so overly salted, something that never used to be the case before but this is the 3rd time we experienced this. The taco meat was way to salty, the rice and the beans were as well, don't know who is doing the cooking, but who ever it is either loves very salty food themselves or they don't taste what they are cooking and are just dumping the salt in. The chips are very greasy and thick and you get only a small amount of them for an extra cost with a small little dish of salsa which used to be home made and used to taste fantastic, but even that has changed, it doesn't taste like home made to me. One other thing, the food is expensive for the amount you are getting, we were very disappointed in our dining experience and will no longer recommend this place to anyone unless things will change. read more

I tried their nopalitos plate and it was really good. I went back and had their barbacoa and carne guisada tacos. Both were really good, specially the barbacoa, it was tasty and there was no fat in it, it was all meat and it was tender. The salsas need some work, but the chips were good. read more

Garpez hates white people! Yet again I watch the ladies at the counter give away free hot sauce to hispanics and then charge me for it. This is not the first time I have witnessed bias from the Garpez employees. They are far more nicer and kind to hispanics than they are to white people. If you don't want another races' business then you're about to start not getting it. I am spreading the word about this racism. read more
