Casa Garcia

The ambiance is quiet and easy to talk. The service is courteous. The place is clean. The food needs to improve a lot. Everything seem fresh, but lacked taste. I ordered the red chilaquiles and everything in the plate was tasteless. My husband ordered the eggs a la mexicana plate and he said the same. I think the rice is from a box (boxed rice leaves an after taste from the preservatives) and the peas were hard. The coffee was descent.

This place is delicious! I love the new location & upgrade. I remember the old one was really small and hot. Finally got to sit and eat in 😋 I love the big menu , im so dumb tho i didn’t notice till i had already sat down n ordered lol Anywho the customer service was good. The girly was so patient with us id ask questions and she happily answered thm with all the details. She explained the difference between certain plates n what not. I ended up eating the taquito plate howeva u won’t see it in my pictures because i was so hungry i swallowed them and they were so good. It came with rice , beans and a salad for maybe 13$ dam i dnt remember i was too hungry to care lol. My husband got the chille relleno plate & we also got the carne asada fries because we decided we wer guna be really fat 😓 I got an orchata i just wish it was authentic and not machine but oh wat tha heck u can’t always have it all . We finished our plates & wer so full we took the fries home and ate thm for brunch the next day. They wer bomb we also drenched them in the two Chile bottles thy give you red n green The red one is hella spicy! be careful it will burn ur ass the green one is mild but flavorful so we used both cuz i love me a little burn 😅 picture someone running holding thr butt lol ok ill stop now he he i have sm energy from my 3 hr workout The place is new and clean it just needs a more Mexican feel to it (decor) i also love the huge menu as i was sitting I noticed it📋. shit thy have i mean everything. Very creative menu ideas I love that for me 😑 p.s don’t come if ur on a diet you will want everything. I gave this place 4 ✨s on the food because the beans ,red chile ,n guacamole can all use a little more flavor. If you like pork order the green burrito…hope u made it this far 🤗😂 it was worth it right? Thnks for reading 🥹

A friend who used to live in the area messaged me and was like you NEED to go here. Really glad we did! Great prices and great food! Pictured: Chicken flautas, carnita nachos, rice, carne asada nachos

Absolutely love this place!! So dependable! Their nachos are the bomb. Love their chili verde nachos. Perfect recipe. Now they have breakfast too. Family meals are a nice combo to take out dinners too Chile relleno burritos are awesome Taxquitos aee great!! Just can’t go wrong. So much to try

Casa Garcia has the best Nachos! They are loaded with toppings and worth the price. I no longer live in the area but every time I visit SoCal I always make time to eat at Casa Garcia’s.

Always a great environment.I love the nachos, I remember when they were two dollars and fifty cents each

We love Casa Garcia,been going to eat there since the early 80’s . I moved to Las Vegas in 1995 , but we drive back to Pico Rivera at least twice a month just to eat at Casa Garcia for the nachos! Yes they are that great! And worth the long drive! We usually go eat and then drive back home to Vegas! The quality and taste hasn’t changed and that’s what we love! I highly recommend to everyone to stop and eat there!

My first visit to Casa Garcia happened in 1979, a friend invited me to lunch, when he told me we were going to eat nachos I thought okay, the first thing that came to mind were nachos bought at a movie theater! We walked into the small takeout restaurant and the first thing I noticed was the aroma of freshly prepared Mexican food, as I looked around I noticed fresh trays of meats, and tortilla chips being fried in the background and a couple of workers ladling delicious toppings onto our nachos chips, I’d never seen such a well organized open kitchen. There was a man there named Danny, greeting people and thanked them for coming, over the years him and his wife Carla were always there, cooking and bringing fresh food supplies through the front door. Needless to say Casa Garcia captured my heart, I shared it with family and friends as it was shared with me, the legend lives on at a different location, and nothings changed as far as the food is concerned, its freshly prepared authentic Mexican food. I was a young college man when I discovered it, now I’m a retired senior citizen and Casa Garcia still beckons me to come and enjoy their delicious food, I think I’ll visit again very soon.

I have been meaning to pay Casa Garcia a visit and finally had the opportunity. I was pleasantly surprised and had a really wonderful time. I appreciated the huge LCD menu mounted on the wall, which made ordering very simple. The combo meals come with a single scoop of guacamole and a small serving of chips - just enough to hit the spot without having to order a full side - I like that! The highlights were the chile verde and nachos. The kids menu offered a choice of nachos, quesadillas or tacos with chips, guacamole and a fountain drink, which my little ones thoroughly enjoyed. I LOVE that Casa Garcia serves orange Bang as a fountain drink. It's so nostalgic. They offered fountain selections of horchata, jamaica and tamarind as well as Mexican bottled Coke and Jarritos. I think I need to go back just to try something different, it was that good. Should I go today? Service was efficient and friendly. Prices were reasonable as avocados these days feel like they're listed on the stock exchange. Lastly, some Yelpers have mentioned their disdain for the boiled chicken but I actually think this offering is more authentic than a seasoned or grilled chicken. The light flavor and texture of the chicken meat allows the beans, rice and salsa to do the talking, of which I thoroughly enjoyed. Next update will include photos as we gobbled down our food quickly and left satisfied and happy. #pancitafeliz

For all the people complaining about wait times, the wait is worth it! But definitely download their app or call ahead and place your order - it certainly helps. Though, sometimes you may get misquoted even on the app. They're human and providing a delicious operation to the city of Pico Rivera for almost 50 years. Give them a break! The place is always clean, the staff friendly as can be. They know me by name due to the amount of times I'm there each month. Hands down, my favorite place to eat a meal at any day of the week. I just wish it was more diet friendly, but they can't fix that. Haha. I'll run the extra mile tomorrow.

This review is focused solely on the wait time. Management seriously needs to reconsider how they handle online orders because it's disrupting the entire restaurant. We waited over 45 minutes for two dine-in plates while online orders were treated as the priority. The dining area and cleanup also felt disorganized, which only added to the frustration. I genuinely enjoy the food here -- it's excellent -- but there is no excuse for a 45-minute wait for dine-in service. If they don't find a better balance between online and in-person customers, they're going to start losing loyal customers like myself.

Another great lunch with their signature nachos Birthday special $5 for chico nachos with drink is a great deal For such a small place, they are efficient and tidy Plenty of people coming for their to go orders

Getting some grub Decided on a place I have know since I was younger I have done reviews before so continuing to show there progress Very Busy,only Mexican food on the strip mall good location Theater just down the way. Walked in and Very busy people sitting enjoying there choices. Menu has a good selection from Breakfast to lunch and even family meals Young counter staff and cooking staff. Some would be skeptical but truth I have not been disappointed yet. Grabbed a carne asada burrito got it wet could have been a little more sauce and a side carnitas taco. My wife got a sopes ans the taquitos plate well filling with 3 taquitos rice beans and a salad base They have a good system of serving call numbers out but they read back what you ordered especially to go orders Even though it's Busy need a little more TLC like when people leave when there done eating a Associate should do a glance and do a wipe down of tables and seats. Otherwise this place is great and holds a long time customer services reputation Cleanliness = 6 Customer service = 8 Price to product = 7 Atmosphere = 7 Menu = 8

The ambiance is quiet and easy to talk. The service is courteous. The place is clean. The food needs to improve a lot. Everything seem fresh, but lacked taste. I ordered the red chilaquiles and everything in the plate was tasteless. My husband ordered the eggs a la mexicana plate and he said the same. I think the rice is from a box (boxed rice leaves an after taste from the preservatives) and the peas were hard. The coffee was descent.

Came to Casa Garcia twice and the food is delicious. My plate with carne asada was so tasty and the meat was very tender and flavorful. Love this place for solid Mexican food

Casa Garcia has the BEST Chile Verde nachos around. Highly recommended by locals and visitors alike. The other items are delicious too, you could there a minimum of once a week and never get tired of the food.

Bought nachos and received More chips then meat cheese and Guacamole. What Gives for the PRICE I paid for!! Who ever made it doesn't know how to Make it Right!! They need to be Retrain on serving it.

Never had a chili relleno burrito before ! It was delicious and this can feed maybe 2 people . Will be trying the nachos next

There have been upgrades to the look and menu that are nice but take away from the feel of it being small and family owned. They have added some fluorescent signs, likely in the effort to be more attractive to influencers for photo ops. The service isn't what it used to be. The food is good, and the nachos hit the spot still from time to time since they're the only place that pours their chile verde juice on the nachos. I wish the young employees got more training about providing customer service. I feel like that used to be part of what set this place apart from others.

Hubby brought me here for a quick bite to eat. He has been here before. This is my first time. This place has good amount of guest when we arrived. There are 2 ways to order. Either using the kiosk or with the associate. The wait time to get your food is not bad. Hubby ordered the Super Burrito with chili verde and carne asada. I ordered the Quesadilla Verde. Hubby's burrito was massive. My quesadilla was big enough for me. Both dishes were tasty and very filling. They offer either red or green salsa. The restaurant is clean. And the associates are nice and polite. We will be coming back to try out their other dishes. Side note... their nachos look delicious .

Casa Garcia is a amazing Mexican restaurant started a hole in hole restaurant in the Target shopping center now in a different location walking distance from Cinepolis movie theater. We have coming to Casa Garcia for many years and enjoying the cuisine like their chili renello ,super nachos,burritos and their delicious plates. They cook everything food daily and using good quality ingredients and also made to order. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable about the food.

WTH? I ordered and paid for TOMATOES on my nachos ... any of course I didn't get what I paid for! Always messing up on my order! It's closed so no answer! I'm disappointed and frustrated. Not satisfied with my meal.

I absolutely love the hard shell tacos and burritos here. The food you get is so good and a lot and enjoy as well the service but I can't wait to come back in the morning and get me some great breakfast

We love to come here and get The Chile Verde Nachos and they always taste Great! Try them out! We always think about trying other items but the Chile Verde is so good we almost never get anything different.

Food snd Service is back to old days, I love the simple nachos with lite cheese and extra beans so amazing ! the beans are super hot and the cheese is js melted perfectly on top man if u want some go to nachos Casa is the spot ! like i said BACK TO OLD DAYS NO DOUBT ! super fresh ;)

I bought a full size of nachos 1/2 asada, 1/2 carne desebrar. The food has no flavor, no salt, 30 minute wait and over priced I still received the wrong order and had to wait longer. Extremely disappointed dont go to Casa Garcia. Never again with the economy as bad as it is and to be this disappointed.

Don't know what happened but the restaurant is super busy and people are waiting over an hour for food! The staff is misleading people saying only 15 minutes. What a shame 10/25/2025

My experience with Casa Garcia has always been very good but this last time we got Nacho to go they were cold when I got home and we only live ten minutes from the restaurant so I was disappointed I hope next we will have a better out come.

I'm a pico native and Casa Garcia always hits the spot. Unfortunately, I came on a Sunday evening and got two shredded beef tacos with extra lettuce. I placed my order to go and made my 10 minute journey home when I got home. I was so excited to open and eat my plate of food when I bit into my taco it was so soggy that the tortilla just fell apart. The rice had no flavor and the beans tasted like water. I was so unhappy with the experience. Because I know Garcia is better than this. I spent good money on food that was not good.

It's been about 4 years since my last review. I gave them a bad review last time because of the service and I could blame it all on the Covid restrictions at that time so I tried them for lunch today. The service has improved, I was welcomed in and was taken care of as soon as I decided what I wanted, that is where all the positive stops. I ordered a carnitas burrito and a small order of green chili nachos, I get it, the nachos have cold cheese and cold guacamole but I ordered it to eat there and even the meat was cold so it was only, the burrito was even worse it had no flavor, the beans and rice, bland the carnitas tasted like boiled pork, no flavor I guess they don't know what seasoned food should taste like. I'm 61 years old and can remember rushing to the old location after high school to devour an order of nachos, they would prepare it right in front of you pile the chips in the tray bathe them in the green chili with pork than add the guacamole and cheese, what a treat. This is only an old man's memory this mystical plate no longer exists. Sorry Casa Garcia you are failing the original owners and the legacy they left.

Asking for a tip at a walk up counter is WILD. And, also charging extra for asking for the meat on the side another new charge

I placed an order through UE and got to try the chile verde burritos, not expecting much. They were pretty filling, and it's one of the better deals you can find online. The red salsa had quite a kick to it, and overall, no complaints.

Great Food. Bias Service. Cashier focused their cheerful and welcoming greetings to returning and usual customers. We (my family and I) were not greeted the same way. When it was our turn to order the cashier looked at us with a bored straight face and asked what we wanted to order.Afterwards, she never even called out to let us know our order was ready. It just sat on the counter until I went up and asked if it was ready. I still thanked and she never replied with a "your welcome", "have a nice day" or "goodbye. ...I understand this is a community establishment but I was born and raised in Jardin / Pico Rivera, but I moved out of state soon after high school. I returned on vacation and was excited to show my new family the "Bomb Ass" nachos at Casa Garcia. The nachos were still good. But the experience left a bitter taste in my mouth.

The food is so delicious. Amazing! I recomen it. Exactly how you see it on the picture, is what your are getting. Gracias a los cocineros. Hombres y la comida les quedó buenísima.

I've called on several occasions to order full-size super nachos with shredded beef, which I've always done and paid extra for only to be told that anything with extra beef in it is no longer available! WHY?!?!

Service was fast & friendly. 1st time ever visiting. The drive was definitely worth it. A great experience to treat ourselves on a Sunday. Highly suggest arriving earlier.

There's not a lot to say about this place. It's just good. If you're looking for carne asada nachos or carne asada fries, this is certainly the place for it. The large is good enough to feed 2 for lunch. I think it's great value and tastes great. I guess it's not the best I've ever had but this is a no frills no fuss place to eat.

Don't order from here!! We had chilaquiles with chicken and they used boiled chicken it was so horrible to say the least!!!

The food is OK. The ambience is OK. The place is pretty clean, except the one bathroom for all. I was quite disappointed though because I couldn't get a machaca burrito at 1 o'clock in the afternoon. Apparently, Machaca burritos are only for breakfast, which doesn't make sense to me, but OK whatever. I got a couple of tacos instead. Plus they have no soup. No abondigas, no Menudono no cosido. Anyhow, time to go to the show cane quick, so we skedaddled out. When I come here again? I'm not sure. Maybe for the convenience .

In my last review, I didn't have such a great experience here with the food. I was influened today to try again, and so I decided to give this place another shot. Thanks to victor who works with Casa Garcia Social Media. I'll be coming back again

I like their hard shell beef taco, they are big and full of veggies and super yummy! They are also busy on weekends

It's delivered food truck food and satiates a craving for decent Mexican food. The uber driver had a difficult time locating the drop off spot because he used a voice translator. But, if I'm in a funk to not drive and am craving a good 'ole bean burrito, I'd order from Casa Garcia.

Machaca nachos and breakfast pizza were good. Different. 1st time there. Cashier was nice. Nobody came to our table to ask if we needed anything. We had to go and salt, and napkins. Our food was served in a to-go container. Had to ask for a plate and gave me a paper plate. Back ground music was good.

Ordered Super Nachos full order extra meat everything on side even paid extra for this. Also a bean and cheese burrito. Only to receive burrito and chips. Uber driver says he was only given 1 bag. Restaurants phone not in service when trying to contact. How convenient for them. Buyer beware when using delivery service. Restaurant needs to pay attention when packing orders.

I have been going to Casa since they first opened across the street in a really tiny little place . They have the best Nachos!! Today I ordered a Chile Relleno burrito and I've always had chile relllenos with Cheese this one had NO CHEESE!!! RIP OFF!! I called to complain but I believe the phone is off the hook, so I have no other choice then to post this I won't be back, will be going to Mario's I

The service, food and ambiance are all great! I love the consistency and warm feeling when I visit. It's a great place in the area and they make it convenient for their guests!

Casa Garcia, food is great. I very much limit my visits here because of the unfortunate lack of service. Cashiers do not have a welcoming appearance at all. Today I was serviced by Jackie. Jackie as customers we will always have questions or requests. It may sound repetitive to you because you work here. I may have caught you on a day that you did not want to work or perhaps you may be overwhelmed with the task. A simple smile is all we ask and kindly answer our questions. Management, you may need to set better expectations around client experience.

I keep on coming and keep on writing bad reviews I come cause I grew up coming here, but unfortunately, your front customer service and the back cook today took forever. My tacos were cold. They called out the wrong number. Everybody else was served before us. It took me almost 30 minutes to get my food for nachos and cold tacos. That's unacceptable. Get it together

I used to rave about this place. Gladly drive out my way to come here, but after today's visit I will find another spot. Normally I order the hard shell tacos carne asada and carnitas. Never had a problem. Always comes with a slab of guacamole and today no different until I took a bite of my carnitas taco. The guacamole was hiding the big serving of fat trimming that made up a good portion of my carnitas. With literally no carnitas on it. I returned to the counter didn't bother asking to remake it because I was grossed out by it. Then I go to open my asada tacos and a tiny portion of guacamole was being shared by two tacos. Go to take a bite and the hard shell is wide open. Just so disappointed. Forgot to take the pictures of it oh well. It used to be hit and miss on the service and now that's improved but the actual food didn't make the right move. Quesadilla my son order was done right with the light cheese. Thanks Casa Garcia we had a good run.

I ordered a full tray of Super Chile Verde nachos catered for my Dad's Father's Day celebration. Unfortunately the cheese had mold and a hair in the beans tray. I called and spoke with Jackie. She said I would get refunded some money and she would speaks with the owner. She said I would get a refund via email. I never got anything. Very disappointed

The chorizo plate provides the option to substitute egg for potatoes, and added an over medium egg it was not a special instruction and i paid extra for that as well. That was all done on the Chorizo Plate page. As you can see, I got chorizo and eggs with fries slapped on top of my food. Then, when I call, the woman I spoke to said she had no idea what I meant by asking for potatoes and chorizo. Then why offer it as an option? It was literally a button you click to substitute potatoes! Wtf?! She didn't explain.. she just kept saying that they couldn't figure out what I wanted and they tried and acted like I was crazy when I asked her if she had never heard of chorizo with potatoes and she said no, she had never heard of it! I asked her again after many times then why is it listed as an option?! And I didn't get the extra egg I requested either! I asked why i didn't get that either and she they couldn't figure out what i meant! I asked why couldn't you call me? nothing! She was not apologetic at all, was treating me like i was the issue for requesting the option they offered that for some reason she claimed no one in the place knew what it meant!! Lol! she offered to refund my egg only! smh! I said no, i want my full plate refunded and i said forget, I'll take it up with door dash and hung up! And I got the corn when I asked for flour tortillas. Smh!! I wonder if they didn't know what I wanted either with that request. Lol!

I ordered on uber eats today I got a Chille Relleno burrito. Omg it was so delicious. I have gotten other stuff here but the burrito was amazing..

I cant believe how this spot is and the rating it has but thats ok more food for me my family has been coming here since like the late 70's or 80's idk because i wasn't even born yet but the original chile verde nachos hit so hard extra juice and an extra bag of chips. Some thing about soggy and crunchy hits different!!!

Best Nachos Ever!! I drive from the IE to Pico Rivera, just for the nachos. Make sure to get Super Nachos so they add beans. Delicious!

Found Casa Garcia by accident. We ordered carne asada plate, the flautas plate, the bean and cheese burritos and the carne asada nachos. The food is delicious. We ordered this through their website for delivery was very fast on time and polite. They send plenty of condiments, forks, napkins for the order. The food is packaged nicely and delivered hot. Both kids and adults and loved the food. We like to take out so much that we tried the in-house restaurant for breakfast. The food did not disappoint. We had the chilaquiles rojos carne asada. The food was good, and it was prepared fast. I would definitely recommend!

Been a loyal costumer for years but after today I am done buying nachos at casa Garcia. this is not the first or second time they give me nachos that are literally DRY. for $15 I would expect a decent amount of meat/sauce but I get more cheese and sour cream than anything else, this establishment makes their nachos look good when they know they're going to post content on Instagram!! Don't fall for the pictures/videos they post online they only make it look good so you can come in but they don't do the same when you order inside the store. Food has gone down tremendously in the past year I'm very disappointed because this was one of my favorite spots to go to but after today I will not be coming back. $20 for dry nachos and a drink is outrageous.

Pretty decent super nachos. They use a white cheese instead of yellow. However I still believe King Torta has it beat.
