    Side of rice, pinto beans,  and lime
    Tippy P.

    This place is open 24 hours. We were skeptical since they're connected to chevron gas station but the steak and chicken tacos were delicious. Sauce was spicy and the grilled serano peppers were even spicier. Order at the counter and pick up the food at the opposite counter. The guy who took our order came to check up on how we're doing. Restaurant was clean and wasn't busy.

    3 Taco Plate

    I tried this place a year or two ago and wasn't impressed, so I was hesitant to stop by but I was starving. This place is attached to a gas station. Though I'm sure you could eat inside, I went thru the drive thru. I saw the menu had been updated, adding new taco variations to the menu like tacos de birria & tacos de alambre. I've never heard of alambre so I asked the kind woman working the drive thru about them & she was super helpful in explaining what it all entails. I decided to give them a try & got the 3 tacos de alambre plate. For 3 tacos you can only choose 1 meat, so I opted for al pastor. For those who are curious the alambre taco comes with the meat of choice, tomato, grilled onion & is topped with a jalapeño slice. Cheese is optional. You also get a side of raw onion & cilantro, lime and the two typical salsas. Since I ordered the plate it also came with rice and refried beans. The flavor of everything was muuuuch better than the last time I've had them. The meat was juicy, rice was cooked to perfection instead of being gummy & the beans though I'm usually not a fan, also tasted good. If you're ever in Garland and in the mood for some tacos, try Twisted Trompo.

    They have good tacos! I usually get the 5 taco plate with all trompo. They give you a generous amount of food. My boyfriend also agreed these are one of the best taco place in a gas station. Fuel City got nothing on these bad boys.

    Oh my goodness this place was so good and fast! Horchata?! DELICIOUS. I love pastor tacos and most of the taco places I've been to always has fry pastor but theirs is so juicy and the green sauce is good! Buy the red sauce??? SOOOO GOOOOD

    The fries & quesadilla were great. The quesadilla came with rice & beans, the rice wasn't the best but the beans were good. This place has a drive thru & is 24/7. The restaurant was very clean

    I just wasn't thrilled with my experience here. It was very okay. I asked the lady in the drive-thru what she recommended. Half the time I couldn't hear her and the other half she couldn't hear me. When I finally decided to jusg choose something off the menu (2 steak and 1 trompo tacos) I paid and waited about 15 minutes in my car for them. There was nobody waiting in line and I was the only one. That was pretty frustrating and the lady wasn't very friendly. She didn't smile. She was just kinda there. The tacos were alright. I LOVED the green sauce they came with. It was super spicy and added great flavor. There were a bunch of inedible bits in the tacos with an off texture, leading me to believe the quality of the meat wasn't great. Overall, very okay. I'll probably come back and try again. They may have just been having an off day that day. I'd heard good things about this place, so I think I'll give it another try.

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.

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.
