> I ordered a Papa Ranchera taco from Garcias Mexican in Buda, and to be honest, I was extremely disappointed. Anyone who’s ever ordered Papa Rancheras here before knows exactly what to expect — potatoes cooked in a flavorful ranchera sauce, with that signature red color and seasoning. What I received was completely different: just plain potatoes, eggs, and bacon in a tortilla, with no sauce or flavor. It looked like something thrown together without care, and definitely not what I paid for. I spoke with Esmeralda, who claimed to be the manager, and she told me this location is owned by a different family member and therefore “does things differently.” I explained to her that the sign outside still says Garcias Mexican, and as a customer, I expect the same quality and consistency at any location under that name. That’s part of what builds trust with a brand. Her response didn’t address the issue — and honestly, it made the experience even more frustrating. I’ve been a customer of Garcias for years and have always associated the name with good food and consistency. This visit did not reflect that standard. If this location is going to operate differently, customers deserve to know upfront — or better yet, they should raise their quality to match the reputation that the Garcias name is known for.

Yesterday Garcia's reopened after being closed for a year to remodel. The food is still amazing as ever! The interior is beautiful! Service was a little slow for drink refills. Day manager, Esmeralda, visited with customers and was so friendly!

Amazing place with a fabulous patio. The food is top notch. Servers are always smiling and very helpful. Garcia’s nachos with queso are my favorite!!!!

Good food! The only thing I really didn’t like was the salsa. The remodeling came out nice too.

Disclaimer: This review is not about the food — the food at Gracias is excellent both Breakfast, Dinner, and has the best menudo in town The Food Menu is 5 star The bar, however, was a disappointment on Sat Aug 17 and earns only 3 stars. The bar menu advertises a top-shelf margarita for $14.95. Fair enough, i typically purchase three, But Saturday when I requested the margarita with Lalo tequila — which is unquestionably top shelf — the server Lupita had to check if it was even allowed. She returned saying yes, but the drink would be $24.95 because their so-called “top-shelf” margarita is made with Hornitos & they would charge extra for the Lalo. That “Top Shelf” on the bar menu is kinda misleading . I settled for their frozen top-shelf margarita, and it was undrinkable because it had too much syrup in the mix. For a place with such excellent food, the bar program feels like an afterthought. Bottom line: I will continue coming here for the food but I won’t be coming here for drinks. The silver lining is i saved roughly $60 on drinks i did not have.

The food was great! I came here on a Thursday to meet a client and the setting was perfect- not too loud and not too quiet, just right. I even stuck around afterwards for a few margaritas and caught up on some work, the patio was very nice and relaxing. Overall the service was great! I was here for a few hours and the waitresses came to check on me pretty often, I will definitely be back!

August 2025 ========== Returned today, 8/10/25, to Garcia's in Buda after a long wait. The restaurant closed its doors in May/June of 2024 and began working on a remodeling effort on the inside. We arrived, luckily, before mid-morning breakfast rush and was greeted by Malea (sp). She added our name to the waiting list, and advised they had been open about 3 weeks. We were seated within 20 minutes, and greeted by our server, Darlene (aka Dar), who took our drink orders and gave us a few minutes to review the menu. Our orders wereba migas taco with ham added, 2 migas plates (I ordered mine spicy), and a pork chop plate. We asked for flour tortillas. The food took about 15-20 or possibly 15 minutes to prep. This wasn't an issue as it gave us time to catch up with our guests, and the staff was very good about keeping us stocked with chips and salsa. I asked Dar for some spicier salsa, and she brought the green salsa made with Serrano peppers. It was flavorful and definitely a notch hotter. Our food arrived and it was all good, and like I remembered. If there was was thing I would encourage the kitchen, it would be to increase the portion of the migas. This being said, my and our guests plates were clean. I do like the new look, it is much more open and has an airy feeling. I hope your experience, should you decide to visit, is as good or better than mine. May 2024 ========= We were in the Buda area again today and decided to follow up and eat Garcia's for a late lunch, early dinner. There were 8 in our party and it was busy. So we had a little bit of a wait, about 45 minutes. Once seated, we were quickly attended to, and our server was Chelsea. She took very good care of us. If there is one thing I can say about Garcia's, their service is fantastic. While I've only been twice, I can not say enough about it. The staff is professional, courteous, and service oriented. They will try to find ways to make your experience the best possible. I've captured some photos of our dishes. All of them were very good, and the serving sizes were appropriate. The dishes ranged from enchiladas (cheese, beef, and chicken), Garcia's Delux, steak quesadillas, and some others that I do not recall. Finally, we all found their chips and salas refreshing. Ask for the green salsa if you want it hotter. As with my summary below, I hope your experience is as good as ours. February 2024 ============ I was in the Buda area looking for a place to have a Mexican breakfast. I always look for family owned restaurants so I can support the local community. I found this place in downtown Buda and was not disappointed. We were quickly greeted, seated, and our drink orders were taken. We asked for menus so we could review our choices. We opted for some chips and salsa to start. Quick note, the red salsa is mild. If you like the heat, request the green salsa. I ordered the migas plate, and my wife ordered breakfast tacos. Both were very good. Note, if you like cheese on your migas, you should ask for that at your time of order. See my parking comments for awareness. We visited on a Sunday morning at about 8:30 am. Overall, I really enjoyed the visit, food, and atmosphere, and I will definitely be back. I hope, if you visit, your experience is as good as mine.

The team of Green Knight® Metal Roofing enjoyed a fantastic dinner tonight. Food was very good and the service was great! New server, Mila, took care of us. Turns out it was her first day but you wouldn't have known it. She was attentive, friendly and efficient. Give this place a try, and ask for Mila.

This restaurant was recently reopened, and the food was absolutely delicious. I've been to another location before and enjoyed the food so I decided to give this place a try. The chips were very crunchy and complimented very well with the salsa. The shrimp were huge and very flavorful, the charro beans are highly recommended. The staff were very friendly, and the restaurant was very clean. If you're in town I recommend going to this restaurant.

We were in Buda spending time with family and met friends here for dinner. The restaurant was recently renovated and it is very nice... and fits the downtown vibe. We had their special queso and it was very good. I had their beef fajitas nortenas and they were fantastic, I would recommend the charro beans! The beer was cold & my wife said the margaritas were very good. We were told by family that we should try their burger. Their staff was very attentive keeping our drinks & chips full.

Was disappointing, Hope it was like the one in San Marcos but no. We ordered our favorite Enchiladas plate. They fell short, dry and flavorless. The service was great just the food. Oh the salsa was tomato sauce not what we're used to. Sorry won't be going back. Lemonade was good.

My fiancé and I came here again for dinner last night, and had another great experience. Rosie was our waitress this time and she did a great job taking care of us. As for the food, the guacamole was solid. The steak Cozumel my fiancé got was really good. And the fajita quesadillas with chicken were solid, with a very large portion size. Prices were very reasonable too. Another good experience here. We will be back again!

I had the Garcia's deluxe. I've been to this location since it opened and it's consistently great. Nothing was left in that picture. It's a lot of food at a great price/. Great bang for the buck at $13.95. The waitresses was very attentive and the atmosphere here is your typical central Texas home converted into a restaurant. They play recorded conjunto/tejano music while dining in.

I'm never sure how it's going to go at ethnic/cultural restaurants, but since I LOVE non-American food I was up for giving Garcias a try... The waitstaff we had was awesome! She helped make sure my omelet was cooked separately so it was truly gluten free... and it was delicious to boot! Hubs had some other thing that he said was delicious and honestly, I was so enamored by my delicious, huge omelet I hardly paid enough attention to grab a photo of his food. It's a bit of a tiny place, but homey and felt like family. I'm so glad our local friend recommended it and we took time to meet her there!

(Note: I write Facebook reviews for residents of Turner's Crossing, a new development in Buda, as we all learn about good places to dine in Austin.) ------------- Hi, neighbors. We saw news reports that this iconic eatery in downtown Buda will be closing sometime in June for several months of renovations and repairs. So, Karen pointed out that today would be a great time to make another visit for a heaping helping of authentic Mexican food. By now, I can only assume that most of our new neighbors in Turner's Crossing have driven through Buda and at least know where this place is located. It's basically impossible to miss if you go as far as the western edge of the historic downtown district. Garcia's (not to be confused with Casa Garcia's) is a family owned, small chain that first opened in San Marcos in 1988. Six additional locations including the one in Buda have since been opened by the family's younger generation, proud to serve up their ancestors' best recipes. Today, with temperatures in the low 90s and the comfortable deck awaiting us outside, we figured it was time to try dining alfresco. The deck was roomy and bug-free, and service out there was as efficient as we have experienced inside. This was probably our eighth or ninth time to Garcia's in the 11 months we have been in Buda, and we had always enjoyed their small, clean and welcoming indoor dining areas before. It is decidedly unfancy, but the food is delicious, the service is efficient, the portions are substantial, the prices are reasonable, and the staff is friendly. It's not often you can find a place that checks all those boxes. Now, time to write about the food, which is the reason we were there in the first place. Instead of settling for the usual bowl of chips and excellent salsa, we opted for a small Garcia's Chile Con Queso ($7.25), a blend of queso mixed with sausage and pico de gallo. It was flavorful and a great start to our dinner. Karen only wanted a single chicken and sour cream enchilada ($2.25) with no sides. She planned to concentrate on that excellent appetizer. I chose the Taco Dinner ($10), which was two beef soft tacos served with the usual rice and refried beans. I thought I was ordering a small meal until I saw the size of those tacos. They were the biggest I have ever seen, packed with ground beef, lettuce, tomatoes, and cheese. Considering I helped Karen with that chili con queso appetizer, one of my tacos had to come home with me. Despite the abundance of very good Mexican restaurants within an easy drive of Turner's Crossing, I rank Garcia's near the top. The menu is extensive, with several American dishes, and breakfast is served all day long. ------------- Following are notes from previous visits to Garcia's: ------------- We were out running some errands when we decided to pay a return visit to this charming and bustling little Mexican eatery at the edge of old downtown Buda. Karen and I both agreed that the homemade tortilla chips and spicy salsa that grace the table before ordering were as good as any we've ever had. I chose the Chicken Fried Steak Ranchero ($11.50), with charro beans, Mexican rice, and corn tortillas. It was especially delicious when the steak was sliced and wrapped up in warm tortillas. Half of Karen's Spinach Enchiladas ($11.50), with artichokes and Monterey Jack cheese, along with refried beans and rice, came home with us. ------------- Garcia's was perfect for lunch today about 1:30, just as some Sunday regulars were leaving and tables were available. I had the Chicken Taco Salad ($9.75) that included a scoop of the best guacamole I ever ate. Karen chose a breakfast migas taco. She's making dinner at home tonight, but we needed our weekend fix of Mexican food. ------------- After trying valiantly to use my halting Spanish today with our new housekeeper, who only speaks a few words of English, I was hungry for Mexican food again. So Karen and I decided to make another visit to Garcia's. I had Los Tres Garcias ($13.95), a plate of three enchiladas -- cheese, chicken and beef -- each covered with a different sauce. My dinner came with Spanish rice, a monkey dish of charro beans, and a corn tortilla. Karen had the Flauta Plate ($10.75), with three crispy chicken flautas, the usual rice and beans, and a scoop of guacamole. Some came home with her for another time. Karen had the perfect dessert waiting at home for us -- tres leches cake from the HEB grocery. ------------- Once again, we were pleased with our orders at Garcia's. I returned to a dish I previously enjoyed -- the chicken fried steak with ranchero sauce, charro beans, Mexican rice and corn tortillas. Karen had a half order of Shrimp Fajitas Quesadillas ($11.50), with Monterey Jack cheese, pico de gallo, guacamole, and sour cream. Here's a shoutout to Chelsea, our friendly and very efficient waitress, who chatted with us when the place wasn't busy.

So we were down in Buda looking for a place to eat, and after checking out YELP reviews, we chose Garcias. Garcias Restaurant is on the main drag for downtown Buda and looks like the building was a former small bungalow house. There is a wait, so plan accordingly. When you arrive, you sign into a waiting list, which the host or hostess comes around to the waiting area and calls out the next name on the list. Since we hadn't eaten here before, we did ask our server, Ashlynn, for her recommendations. We chose to go with the "Garcias Deluxe Cheese Enchiladas" dish and the "Enchiladas Ranchera" with chicken dish. While waiting you definitely can smell the food cooking in the kitchen which only made us more hungry. We didnt wait long for our meals, and we were both pleasantly surprised by them! We came from San Diego, where mexican food is king, and really, these dishes lived up to the hype! Both enchilada dishes were tasty and were served with generous portions. Try the home made flour tortillas too - all of which was excellent. The service staff and manager checked on us several times to ensure we were having a good experience. If you are ever in Buda, TX give this restaurant a try. I think you will be happy you did.

My husband and I visited Garcias while we were passing through Buda. We were seated quickly and our waitress took our order quickly, but then kind of of forgot about us. The food came out fast and everything was good. I wouldn't say top quality, but decent. The water and tea tasted funky. Their prices were reasonable and they seemed to stay busy while we were there on a Friday. They also have some lunch specials that include a drink in the price.

I'm amazed the Garcia's rating for Kyle is not higher than I see. I eat there at least 1x per week & absolutely love the authenticity of the food. If you are not at lunch early, prepare to wait for a seat. Personal favorites are the chicken fried steak & shrimp fajitas.

My husband and I have eaten here many times. My husband always orders the burritos and somehow he finishes the whole thing! This was the first time I ordered the chicken fried steak and it was pretty good. I absolutely LOVE their salsa! It is not spicy though, so if you like it spicy you may be out of luck. Their chips are fresh and have the perfect crunch. The wait staff is super kind and very responsive. I would have given it 5 stars, but the tables are close together and the inside seating area is a little small. Other than that, I highly recommend this place!

Went for breakfast on a Saturday morning and to our surprise only had about a 10 minute wait. The servers were all very prompt and friendly. Food was amazing, came out fast and hot. Maybe some of the best tortilla chips I've ever had. Would definitely recommend for a fast casual place with cheap and delicious food. Definitely no frills, but none needed.

Pretty cool place. First impression is great. Small, hole in the wall sort of vibe. Smells that intoxicate. The food ended up really good. All of us were very happy with everything. The only reason for the 4 stars instead of 5 is the fajita beef that came out to my wife was not hot, luke warm at best, and was on the chewy side. Great flavor though. Overall, all the food was really good. Service was good.

Came here for breakfast tacos one morning during visit to Austin. Waited at least half hour, then still went to sit outside. We got one taco with little egg and cheese inside, nothing special. My brother and I wanted something more than subpar taco, so we ordered beef quesadilla sliced into 8 sections. Beef quesadilla saved the day, it was good. Waitress was very good. There were flies hovering around food, which is what happens when you eat outside. Didn't like the way owner looked at us on our way out.

Love this place! The majority of the time they have speedy quick service. I love their chips and salsa as well as their ice tea. I normally get the fajita nortenas which are a bit spicier and delicious! My mom gets nachos or a taco/enchilada combo. Never disappointed. And they have a senior discount.

Quick and easy Mexican joint. The chicken enchiladas are some of the best I've ever had. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is the chips and salsa aren't very appealing. Other than that, this is a great little place to snag a quick and satisfying meal!

Located right smack in downtown Buda this location is one of seven locations of Garcias Restaurant Mexican Food and the closest location to us from where we live (South Austin). We are always happy to make the short trek down to Buda to come here as the food and service is fantastic and waaaaay better than any other Mexican restaurants in Austin - seriously! Parking is located right off of Main Street, across the street in a large parking lot, and in the side streets that surround Garcias. Peak times such a week day lunch might pose a chase around to get a good parking spot but be patient - many people who come pick up food will be leaving soon so don't worry you will get a spot. When you walk in to the foyer area you will see a clipboard with a waitlist. If you are not noticed by any of the staff go ahead and sign yourself in - do not wait especially if there are people waiting around to be seated. This is a small reconverted house into a commercial restaurant/kitchen so there is limited spaces and seating but do not be shy to ask if there is any available seating outside as the patio is covered, the breeze comes thru, and you are surrounded by the beautiful trees and foliage next door from the dentists office. The menu is long (has 4 full pages) but nothing you choose will disappoint you! I prefer to have fajitas or their quesadillas as they are delicious! My partner loves the carne guisada, enchiladas, as well as the beef fajitas. Be sure to sub your refried beans for borracho beans as they are delicious! Just recently they ran out of their borracho beans and the waitress offered black borracho beans that were AMAZING! Make note of this vegetarians! Oh and homemade tortillas can be found here which is one of the reasons why we make the trek down from S. Austin to eat here. One thing to note is that this location is BYOB! They encourage you to bring your own booze and beer as they do not have a alcohol license (might be the constraints of zoning or downtown Buda jurisdictions) but that is okay! You got plenty of convenient stores to grab a six pack and bring it in with you to enjoy your meal. Ordering take out is easy breezy too as you have a separate area to pick up from (outside patio area) where your food will be waiting for you all piping hot n whatnot.

That wonderful kind of small town Tex mex that cured my hangover in all of five minutes hehe I got the Mom's Special with a crispy beef taco, cheese enchilada, and scoop of guac, my boyfriend got the Garcia's Deluxe with a chicken enchilada, chalupa, tamale, crispy taco, rice, and charro beans. REALLY solid food and a great a lot for a casual lunch or dinner. They also serve delicious sounding breakfast we've yet to try. The spacious patio was great with the beautiful weather, highly recommend this cute spot!

Great place for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I'm a fan because they serve full menu even during the morning. I'm not a huge egg / sausage gal, so I was thrilled to have tacos and cheese enchiladas! The carne asada was perfect spiced and tender. Breakfast tacos are large too! Best salsa I have had in ages and they sell it to go!!

It was good but the omelette was very thin and the veggies were cut tiny tiny. I've never had an omelette that didn't come with cheese so I had to pay extra for it. Very disappointed!

My Fiancee and I went to Cabella's nearby, and asked one of the employees where a good place to eat around them was. They suggested this place. It was very unassuming place that looks like a house, that got renovated. It is a wrap around porch. On right is outside seating, and left is for outside waiting. It is very small inside. By the sign in table, it had sign saying Max capacity was 60. But, during COVID, I think it half that. There is only two small rooms, and a few tables are left open to space people apart. You have to wear mask upon entry, but take off when get to table. It was filled when we got there, and entrance way was pretty warm. We got a table after about 20 minutes. Once, we sat, we got great service. They had two waitresses helping. First one got our drinks with chips and salsa. Both, were very good. The chips were nice and warm, and salsa was good, but not spicy. My Fiancee got the burrito (* if they ask if want it fried, say "yes), with beef inside. I got the Tres Enchiladas Gracias..three enchiladas..one of each flavor (cheese, beef, and shredded chicken with sour cream). The cheese was just ok (made with cheese sauce), but the beef and chicken were delicious! When they ask if you want some tortillas, say "yes"! They come out rolled in foil, and very warm. I put some rice and beans in mine. Great prices too..both of our meals with drinks, under $30. We live North of Austin, but may have to make to 40 min drive to come back here!

We used to eat dinner here often. Not anymore. They're not open for dinner. They've become a breakfast/lunch place. Food and service has gone down. Too bad. Some places couldn't struggle past the recent challenges even with loyal customers helping.

So we were driving to Fredericksburg and stumbled along this restaurant in Buda, TX. We sat down to Covid seating and was greeted by a speedy waitress. Now keep in mind she was probably the only waitress servicing the Inside. I ordered the steak and eggs which sounded amazing since I didn't have actual breakfast in quite some time. 20 minutes later, Ruby our waitress advises me that there that they are out of steak. That information would have been helpful 20 minutes earlier when I ordered it. So I settled for the basic breakfast. The eggs were almost well done and the potatoes were just meh! The only thing good was the cold coke and the tortillas. But at least I had breakfast. LOL.

I love the Tex-Mex servings from the Buda restaurant. It's all good! If you are a fan of Menudo then this is THE place for your Menudo fix. There is not a lot of seating inside and limited seating outside. Which can leave you grinding your teeth and slobbering if there a number of customers. But the wait is worth it.

Really disappointed with my recent takeout order- the tacos I received were cold. This is the second time this has happened to me after placing an order online. I don't usually drive through Buda in the mornings because I live on the East side and have to drive to Austin for work. BUT few restaurants in and around Austin have good tortillas like Garcia's. So, when I decide I want to order breakfast tacos from there, it takes extra planning on my part so I can have enough time to pick up breakfast and head North. Yesterday was one such day, however, bc the phone was not answered after trying to call multiple times, I placed an order online. Simple order, bean and chorizo tacos (bc - you CANNOT order bean and cheese tacos online, the option is literally not available, you have to order two proteins). When I arrived at the restaurant the lady at the window said there had been a 30 taco order placed ahead of mine. Whoa, that's a lot. No biggie though, I'll wait. 20 minutes later, window lady brings out the 30 taco order to a police officer and tells me it will still be another few minutes before my order is ready. Okay, no problem. I waited patiently and with excitement. Finally, my order is ready I am handed my togo bag and off I go to work. Once on the highway, I open my first taco to find it COLD. Not like, tepid. COLD. As if it had been sitting out - away from a heat lamp - for 20 minutes. The taco was an awful, cold, mushy, salt-bomb. I had to eat the taco despite my disgust because I need to have food with my medication and it had already been 45 minutes since I took my meds. As I said before, this is the second time this has happened to me and though the first time I never complained, I did call. The manager offered to make new tacos if I returned but I had to get to work in Austin. She then offered give me a comp to get the same tacos in the future, which I'll say was a nice gesture, but too little too late. I will never place an online order to this restaurant again. The lack of communication between front of the house staff and back of the house staff is consistently poor for takeout orders. Perhaps I will return to give the sit-down a try but honestly, everything I've had there so far is incredibly salty and I'm not sure it's entirely worth taking another risk.

God this place was so good I practiaclly had an orgasm at the table and my wife had to calm me down. I can't express how much this food moved to the point where I would go there to feel some pleasure. Definetly a 10/10 experience.

A late stop from San Antonio to Houston and it was absolutely amazing! The food definitely hit the spot and customer service was epic

Solid small town Tex-Mex. That's the short version. But I'm rating them above average for several reasons. First, the service is stellar. Tea, chips, salsa kept full without asking. Moreover, the server was friendly. The food came out correctly and quickly, which is a bonus for a lunch meeting. The best part of their menu is the ability to create any kind of taco all day. That made for a great lunch option, even if we did consider breakfast tacos. If I had one note of criticism, it's that the salsa would benefit from a bit more kick to it.

Really good salsa!! The place was very busy when we went for lunch, so be prepared for a line. But once you get in, the service is pretty quick. I got the veggie fajitas, which had squash, zucchini, mushroom, onions, and bell peppers -- good variety :) Everything was a little oily, but overall I left happy and full.

I freaking love this place! Especially when you get there before lunch rush hour! Everything is delicious from their sweet tea, their salsa, guacamole, queso, and my favorite their cheese enchilada plate. The prices are more than reasonable especially during lunch! I can't say enough good things about the food. Staff is always quick and efficient. They have one in San Marcos, Kyle and Buda... please bring one to S Austin?! Ugh, now I want all of the items listed above

My husband and I like to go to Garcia's restaurant on occasion. We usually order the beef fajitas which are excellent. On previous occasions we have also brought several other couples of friends with us during lunch time, and they all enjoyed the food as well. Thank you Daniel for good service.
