    the interior of a restaurant
    R R.

    It was a very snowy day yesterday, and I wanted some authentic Mexican food. I am not talking Joe taco or Taco Bell, taco Villa or Tex Mex. I was really craving some authentic Mexican food. To my pleasant surprise, this restaurant was open and was close to where I work. The restaurant was warm inside, and the service was very good. My server was kind and she had a wonderful personality. I ordered some cheese enchiladas, Carne guisada, rice and beans, and a Pastor taco. I also had two Micheladas, which were delicious by the way. The food was wonderful. The plate was full, the taco with stuffed beyond the tortilla, And I never lacked for anything. The chips and salsa were delicious. I was pleasantly surprised and happy with my meal. It was also reasonably priced. I do have two complaints. I saw one of the male employees in the serving area eating shredded cheese with his hands off of the counter where it had been freshly shredded. I hate that kind of stuff. It is disgusting. Plus, no one in the kitchen, where I could see back in to fully, was wearing a mask. Since the kitchen is in plain sight for customers, they really should be wearing some sort of facial covering, even if it is a light paper mask. However, that did not stop me from eating my food, and I did not complain to anyone. I just made a mental note, and I will think twice about going to that location for a future meal because of hygiene and sanitation. All in all, I had a great meal, left satisfied, and my pocketbook was not much lighter. It was a blizzard outside, and I appreciated them being open.

    From the outside, it doesn't look like much. Although, this place has good food! I had the mini tacos with carne asada. Very good and will return. Authentic Mexican tacos for sure.

    Kudos for having mojarra. Not many places have it. Not spectacular. The fries from the kid's meal were very soggy. Very basic dinner, no frills.

    I have never been here but when I was looking around for a place to get breakfast and I saw that this place had migas then of course I had to come try them. I really liked the place and plan to come back. The service was great. The Migas were really good. The price was right. Social distancing and face masks were being used. Everything looked very clean. I saw a breakfast special for $6.99 and asked what it entailed. It sounded like a lot of good food so I hope to come back and try it. I asked how much a side of guacamole and sour cream would be. I was told $0.75 which sounded good. I intended to just get a guacamole but she brought a guacamole and a sour cream so I enjoyed both. I didn't get an itemized bill but it couldn't have been much more than what she said based on the total price. I also decided to get a taquito on the side just to try it out. I was expecting a little crispy rolled up thing like they serve in San Diego but to my surprise I got a very well filled soft flour taco folded over an amount of eggs that would have been enough to comprise a whole breakfast if you didn't crave side dishes. The migas came with beans and cubed potatoes. Both good. The guacamole was excellent. About the only thing I missed was being served complimentary chips at the beginning which I look forward to at many Mexican restaurants. Otherwise I was very happy and highly recommend a place to others.

    Outstanding queso (not from a can!) and the guisada is amazing (I came back 2 days after the first time just to have the guisada again).

    Very nice and clean place, ran by a family. The food is good and consistent, and for the prices, you cant beat it.

    Tacos Garcia was suggested to me by a local coworker. Our hotel was fairly close by so, why not? We…read morearrived around 7:30 and were promptly seated. We were brought individual flights of salsa to go with the chips. My michelada hit the spot. Was it the best? No. But it scratched the itch. I couldn't decide on what to eat. Until I saw green chili stew and asado. I moved away from Midland in 2015. You don't really find asado away from West Texas. The music wasn't too loud and the lighting wasn't too bright or too dim. Overall, we enjoyed our meals. I'll likely stop back in the next time I'm in town.

    They moved to their new location . Thought I would give them a try . Wait time was 25 min. Three…read morein our party . They seated us at a table that seats 8. Two tables together . Like they were going to seat another party at the other table . I'm not sharing a table . Not good service . Looked around a lot of the tables pushed together. Was another room empty with no tables. They should have spread out the tables in all the rooms . So everyone could have been seated when they came in instead of waiting 25-30 min. Then after we ordered. On a scale of 1 to 10. I give them a 2. One person's in my party couldnt eat the tacos. Meat was full of fatty meat and the taco was full of grease from when cooked. Mine also had a taco . The taco instead of having the color of a corn taco. It was brown and greasy because of all the grease it was cook in . Ate maybe half my meal . I made up my mind that is the last time I will go there and if anyone ever suggest to go there to me . I'll tell them the reason .
