We arrived about an hour before closing time. There was no host/hostess at the stand so we waited. The guy at the front register... dealing with take out orders didn't acknowledge us. Eventually some one came and sat us in the far back room which had a tableof 6 people already seated and it was pretty clear they were drinking and being pretty loud. Due to the room acoustics, this wasa horrible place to seat us. We sat there with our menus for quite a long time before a waiter finally showed up and took ourorder. He had not been informed that he had a new table. We had the Green chile stew which was disappointing as it seemed as ifit was just thrown together right before serving and not cooked together or incorporated as a stew should be. The bowl did nothave enough broth to cover the ingredients. (see photo) The chunks of meat in the stew were very firm and not tender. The otherdish we had was the New Mexico chicken enchiladas that are made with blue corn tortillas and topped with green sauce. The saucewas good, the chicken was tender and well seasoned but I had to ask for a knife to cut it. It just kept falling apart as thosetortillas couldn't be cut with a fork. The blue corn tortillas ended up being too chewy and in some cases too hard since thesauce did not soften them up enough. The flavor just didn't seem to work together with the chicken, cheese and sauce. I wouldrecommend using regular flour tortillas to get a better flavor. The rice and beans were good. My margarita finally arrived whenI was about finished with my meal after I reminded my server I had ordered one and asked if it was coming still. When we leftand walked back through the restaurant, there were still people on other rooms eating and talking but it was noticeably quieterand we were envious that we hadn't been sat in a better place. Overall I probably wouldn't return here as the food is overpricedand not great. Add the noisy environment and less than stellar customer service and it ju Read more

Really enjoyed happy hour here. Margarita was tasty. The chips were fresh and the salsas (3 of them!) were excellent. Also... had a bowl of pozole which was delicious. Also my server was very helpful. Would definitely return! Read more

We hosted our 25th high school reunion dinner in their private back room. Vinny, our waitress, was incredible. She kept our... drinks full and our hearts happy. The atmosphere was perfect and the management made sure we had everything we needed to have afun time. The food was also exceptional. I am so glad we hosted our event there and we will definitely tell everyone to eat at aTacos Garcia!! Read more

Chicken chimichanga was fabulous the fajitas were just OK. The chips and salsa were very good and the service was excellent. The... young busboy making a rooster sound throughout the restaurant really added to the ambience Read more

Loved the homemade chips and tortillas. Especially the tortillas! The ground beef taco meat had lots of flavor but the pork, not... so much-it was not spicy at all. Everything else was good. The service was excellent, very friendly and attentive. Read more

The plates don?t look appetizing and I personally didn?t like the flavors. My family and I stopped at this location while... traveling and we got 9 different plates. The only thing that was good were the fajitas. Read more

Excellente? ! Naomi, my server was great. Very knowledgeable with the menu and attentive. She came by to check on me several... times. Now the food,?..3 Tacos barbacoa with real guacamole salsa and a side of charro?s. Fried tortillas or rather ?grilled?not your thing, just ask, they are very accommodating here. Worth the stop, a old weathered sign on 40 led me here. Read more

Stopped overnight and this place was within walking distance of the hotel (4 points Sheraton). Great choice. Mario was a great... server. Food was hot and delicious. Puerco con chili verde was perfect. Wife had the chicken stuffed chili relleno that wasalso delicious. House margaritas were big and potent. Great choice. Read more
