Garcia's Mexican Food To Go

We visited Garcia’s for the first time today. Heard about it from the New York Times of all places in a top 23 food selections in the USA. WOW. We were not disappointed. We both had the NYT recommended brisket taco. I had two actually. The brisket was so good I’d put it up against the best I’ve had — smoky, tender and great bark. A smear of guac on the provided pico de gallo with green hot sauce and AWESOME. we also got the spicy pinto boracho bean side which was homemade and delicious. When we arrived there were as many people outside waiting for a table as there were seated inside eating. But it was a happy crowd all around. No one minded waiting. No one tarried at a table after eating. Service people couldn’t have been better.

Had to check out one the “top 25 dishes in the country” according to New York Times. Was weird that a Mexican food place got the honor for a BBQ like taco (brisket taco), so I had to try it! Taco itself was really good. Brisket was perfect. And I had recently eaten at Reese bros a couple days back so I had set my standards high. Wasn’t at Reese level, but definitely surprisingly good for a Mexican food joint. Enchiladas were ok, rice and beans were what you would expect for a great Mexican restaurant, rice was super flavorful. Carne guisada was good. My favorite thing I tried was the crispy meat taco of all things. We waited for a table for a while, like 30 minutes, the place was PACKED and small. Service was Excellent! Vicky was our waitress and she was super sweet, professional and attentive. Will definitely be back.

Heard about Garcia's brisket tacos and had to try them out. Ordered carne guisada and brisket tacos to go. The restaurant is pretty small, and there is usually a wait. If dining in, you have to get on the wait list. The dining room is small but comfortable area with a generally pleasant atmosphere. The carne guisada taco was on the smaller side as compared to other places in town but was tender and tasty. The portion size is still filling. The brisket taco was surprisingly delicious. It's packed with flavor, tender, and just right for my taste. Overall, it was an excellent choice, and I'd recommend it, as a must try!

I recently dined at this Tex-Mex gem, and I must say, it deserves every one of those five stars! The brisket taco here is an absolute masterpiece, rivaling even the most renowned brisket joints. The meat was tender, smoky, and packed with flavor. This place has truly set the bar high for its competitors. I'll be coming back for more, without a doubt!
