Jorge's Tacos Garcia

I had another incredible dining experience—food was exquisite as always, but what truly stood out was the service.Luis went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. His customer-centric approach made the evening even more enjoyable. Attentive, friendly, and professional, Luis is a true asset to the team. Highly recommend this place for both the cuisine and the top-tier service!

Before this restaurant moved it had fantastic feel to it food and atmosphere and service was five stars. They had my favorite cerviche and my husband enjoyed beer there. we didnt have a great experience. Food was bland. Waiter informed us no more cerviche and shrimp cocktail and no more beer. Food came out cold owner/cook did replace my meal and apologized profusely. I always recommended them when they were over off ross to out of town friends and colleagues. I am hoping this was just issues with reopening in new location.

If I could give this place zero stars I would from the time we walked in we were told it would only be a 25 minutes wait. 30 mins later we are still standing waiting on a table. At this point we had been there for a hour and a couple came in and got on the waitlist after us and was not there very long and got sit down right away. When we were there for a hour waiting. I will never be back horrible customer service

If I could give this place zero stars I would from the time we walked in we were told it would only be a few minutes. 30 mins later we are still standing there about the time we are ready to go somewhere else the manager I think. Lady wearing black apron and jean jacket shirt was beyond rude and hateful because we where tired of being blown off no apology not even an insincere sorry guys absolutely nothing. I will never be back horrible customer service

This was one of our favorite places to enjoy a great meal with family. VERY DISAPPOINTED! Service was not good and the restaurant was cold. The food was horrible. The queso looked like they opened a can and attempted to heat it. Rice was crunchy and tasteless. Chips were stale. Every ones meal reflected a very low quality menu. Will not be returning even when they relocate.

The best Mexican food in Amarillo! Where is everyone at. This must be the best keep secret in Amarillo!!

The food is super delicious I love it the service is fast clean place i will recommend this place to friends and family to everyone and i will definitely come back again 😊 😋

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 table of 6 people already seated and it was pretty clear they were drinking and being pretty loud. Due to the room acoustics, this was a horrible place to seat us. We sat there with our menus for quite a long time before a waiter finally showed up and took our order. He had not been informed that he had a new table. We had the Green chile stew which was disappointing as it seemed as if it was just thrown together right before serving and not cooked together or incorporated as a stew should be. The bowl did not have enough broth to cover the ingredients. (see photo) The chunks of meat in the stew were very firm and not tender. The other dish we had was the New Mexico chicken enchiladas that are made with blue corn tortillas and topped with green sauce. The sauce was 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 those tortillas couldn't be cut with a fork. The blue corn tortillas ended up being too chewy and in some cases too hard since the sauce did not soften them up enough. The flavor just didn't seem to work together with the chicken, cheese and sauce. I would recommend using regular flour tortillas to get a better flavor. The rice and beans were good. My margarita finally arrived when I was about finished with my meal after I reminded my server I had ordered one and asked if it was coming still. When we left and walked back through the restaurant, there were still people on other rooms eating and talking but it was noticeably quieter and we were envious that we hadn't been sat in a better place. Overall I probably wouldn't return here as the food is overpriced and not great. Add the noisy environment and less than stellar customer service and it just isn't worth it.

Tacos Garcia was suggested to me by a local coworker. Our hotel was fairly close by so, why not? We arrived around 7:30 and were promptly seated. We were brought individual flights of salsa to go with the chips. My michelada hit the spot. Was it the best? No. But it scratched the itch. I couldn't decide on what to eat. Until I saw green chili stew and asado. I moved away from Midland in 2015. You don't really find asado away from West Texas. The music wasn't too loud and the lighting wasn't too bright or too dim. Overall, we enjoyed our meals. I'll likely stop back in the next time I'm in town.

We dined on Sunday, March 9 at around 1 to 2 PM. We had to wait 10 minutes for a tiny little table when they weren't busy. We ordered queso and they brought us a little cup because they were out and said they weren't going to charge us for it. We ordered our food and it took forever to get to our table and both of our dishes were cold. We advised the manager that it was taking a long time and she said fish tacos do take a while, but they were also cold. When I told her my food was cold, she took my plate and said I guess you want me to take this from you, asked my friend how her food was. My friend said OK but my tacos are cold and she said she'll comp her meal and then I was brought a ticket for just drinks. No offer to fix anything or get us hot food. The waitress even said they put the avocado on the wrong plate but didn't offer to fix it. I will not go back

Really good local tex-mex restaurant. The chips and salsa, queso, and guacamole were outstanding. I ordered 2 chili rellenos one cheese and one chili. They were different than what I have had before- they were pan fried. The cheese one was fantastic and I loved it. We were talking lots so by the time I got to the chicken it was cold- so not good. (But that's on me.) My wife loved her enchiladas. The beans and rice were great and the sopapillas were fresh and tasty. Our server seemed irritated with us the whole evening for some reason. He still got a big tip in case he was having a bad day.

Best food in town, but sadly, their staffing is poor. They could learn a thing or two from The Plaza, Chuys, and Braceros! We had a reservation for 8 for 11:30 on Sunday morning. We arrive at 11:30, well ahead of the church rush, and still they said the kitchen was back up and under staffed. There were maybe three tables seated in the whole place. Sadly, this happens quite frequently. If their service levels and staffing match their food quality, Tacos Garcia would be an unstoppable place to dine. Step up the game, Tacos!

Consistency over 30 years! Yum. Queso and beef fajita burrito- served separate. Yummy!

Was stopping by on our way to New Mexico and figured it would be good- in Amarillo and decent reviews. NOPE Possibly the worst Mexican food I've ever had- ranked up in the worst and I've had bad before. My refried beans were not edible they tasted rancid- something was seriously wrong with them. Mentioned this to the waitress who said sorry but no offer to replace or discount or anything. My meal was supposed to come with tortillas which were never given. And the relleno I had had salsa on the side- weird but ok- but it was folded into this eggy omelette and the Chile itself seemed old or off as well. Sauce was meh. Chips and salsa wAs very meh- some chips waaaay to salty and salsa just mediocre but edible . My companions chicken enchiladas were ok but very unremarkable and lacking much flavor or seasoning I would recommend never to go here if you like Mexican food. Yea

*We did carry out so I won't speak to the actual service or restaurant, but the food...* We stopped here on our way from D.C. to Phoenix & to this day still talk about this restaurant whenever we're rehashing that trip. Both my partner & I love a good hole in the wall restaurant, especially a good local Mexican spot but sadly Tacos Garcia did every hole in the wall Mexican restaurant a disservice with the food they serve. Sticking with the basics we got chips, salsa, shredded chicken tacos, beef tacos, supreme burrito, rice, & beans. Historically, you would think that chips & salsa are a staple & hard to get wrong, but not here. Prepare to experience the most uninteresting salsa & driest tortilla chips known to man. Want to one up the tortilla chips? Opt for the shredded chicken tacos where you can expect to experience absolutely no flavor or joy. Or, if you want a little curve ball order the beef tacos that are drenched in so much liquid they might as well have been in a soup. If you thought you could at least count on the rice & beans... WRONG - that comfort dish that you love is absolutely nowhere to be found. The one potential saving grace is maybe the burrito, but considering your expectations are already so low, it's probably not actually that good. Overall, come to Tacos Garcia for a margarita or maybe a take out meal after a night of drinking where you aren't fully present.

I grew up in Amarillo and had so many memories coming to Tacos, but OMG have times changed. We came for breakfast I ordered what I always ordered: menudo with a bean and cheese burrito. Took one bite of my burrito, and immediately spit it out. The beans were old and tasted like they were aged. My menudo was soggy like it was sitting there and reheated. My daughter's burger was greasy. They put an adult patty of a kids bun which made it a mess. I'm really sad to see that this place is not what it use to be. Maybe come for drinks, but that's about it.

Stopped through Amarillo on a road trip. So glad we found this place. Delicious salsa and some of the best fish tacos I've ever had. I'm 99% sure the corn tortillas were made in house. For a busy Friday night, they were quick to get us seated and our food out. Highly recommend.

Tacos Garcia is my go to choice for ordering myself some menudo. The menudo is served 7 days a week at Tacos Garcia where most Mexican restaurants only serve it on weekends. I have never been disappointed with the flavor of the variety of other foods I have tried there but the menudo has remained consistently delicious! Highly recommend Tacos Garcia!

Best menudo I've ever had! Waiter wasn't the friendliest, but hey...the menudo, chips, and a variety of three salsas made up for it.

This place was just okay. Upon arrival there was no host but some guy came up and asked if I wanted to be seated and how many, I told him just me and he walked away. A few seconds later a girl ( whom looked like she was in the middle of eating, because she was chewing food) came and sat me. The automatic brought chips which were thin like I like them and 3 salsa choices.I ordered Queso Fundilio which they set on fire, that was cool but it honestly lacked flavor. I also ordered the house margarita which was okay, but not strong at all. I ended up having 3 large margaritas and really didn't feel a thing. I also had the Taquito de Barbacoa which was okay. Overall, it was decent. I feel like the food lacked seasoning and was average. Nothing super spectacular. My server was fantastic and on top of everything.

Awesome food , service was fantastic, great atmosphere, affordable prices, very pleased.

Not the same as it used to be. Bathrooms falling apart which to me is always a sign of how a restaurant is being run.

Was staying at a nearby hotel as a stop on my way to Denver and stopped in this unassuming Mexican eatery as I was too tired to go discover other places in Amarillo. Actually, I got really lucky. The place is nicely decorated, very clean and respectful of the COVID 19 guidelines and their menudo was so good I considered getting a second one

Great place. The tortilla soup is one of the best I have had. The chips and salsas were tasty. I highly recommend this place.

Family vibes. So friendly and welcoming. Had the taco salad which hit the spot. Generous portions of chips and three types of salsa. Would definitely come back!

The reviews on this place misled me. Sure, everything came out hot and looking pretty, but the food was just plain bland. I swear I would have thought I had Covid if I didn't know better. The queso was just melted cheese, with no real substantial flavor to it even though there were green and red peppers in it. The ground beef chimichanga was covered with the same queso I had ordered separately for the chips and it too was just boring. I found myself wishing for some McCormicks taco seasoning just to kick it up a little. The food wasn't nasty or anything. It just wasn't anything more than something to exercise my jaws on.

The service was good, the server was sweet and polite. The food though was not edible, queso tasted like it was microwaved before being served and the chips had a weird after taste. The only pleasant thing about the restaurant was the pretty surroundings and cute decor. Wouldn't recommend if looking for a good tex-mex place to eat at in amarillo. Overall experience-overpriced and unpalatable.

Had lunch here today and it was probably one of the worst meals I have ever had. The food use to be good but the restaurant's service, cleanliness and food has definitely gone downhill.

Ate here while on a road trip after a long tiring drive. Good food and large portion sizes. The servers were very friendly.

Absolutely delicious! Great great customer service! Hands down would recommend! We both ordered tacos and thoroughly enjoyed! Margaritas were great too! You will not be disappointed stopping here to eat.

This place was super tasty. We were there on a weeknight with some work colleagues. Food was very good. I will always get huevos rancheros if I can get it and this one came with chorizo. Service was good, waiter was attentive. Missed an opportunity to upsell us on another round. Two things resulted in a star off....they were pretty light on the chorizo (not more than two tablespoons, it seemed), and I got doused with some water during the meal. no biggie, just not a great experience. Salsa was also pretty good.

I've been going to Amarillo for business on and off for years. This restaurant is a regular in my rotation. The food is very authentic, from the three types of salsa to the flaming queso to the countless entrees including Chile relleno. I always notice high health dept scores posted on the doors there which is a bonus.

They were packed so we were lucky to find a couple seats at the bar. Great service & delicious food! So good we went back a second night. Still good, but they were out of Guacamole and low on barbacoa because my tacos weren't like the ones the night before.

Eating there results in some very good food. For take out they were kind enough to ask me if I wanted meat on my nachos, confirm I said no, then covered my entire order in ground beef under the cheese so that it couldn't be easily removed. I work nearby and considered this my new Friday take out, but never again after this. The front didn't acknowledge me either even after standing there waiting for several minutes. The service while eating in was really good, I'm not sure what the issue is for the to go service.

Lots of good food in Amarillo, but Tacos Garcia has always been my favorite! Besides the great Mexican dishes, they make my favorite Margaritas!!

I have dined here many times and never have submitted a review. A must visit when in Amarillo if you like your Mexican Restaurants. My favorites are the Lampriado(grilled chile rellenos), the quality of the chips and salsa, the queso, and the Monterrey. Buen provecho!

We stop here almost every time we are heading to Santa Fe. Always good. Love the Mitsy's special.

Fantastic meal, as Always!! Been eating here for 20+ years and the food is always consistently good. I am an enchilada person, but the asado de puerco is also very good!! The salsas amd queso are always amazing too. Highly recommend eating here.

Garcia's is well-known in Amarillo. Food is pretty good, drinks are VERY good, the service is typically great. Nice, Mexican-themed buildings (they have a couple of locations) and is always quite clean. Teeny tiny bar (at Ross location) so don't go there thinking "happy hour" unless you plan to sit in the dining areas. The one knock we have on Garcia's food is their fajitas... instead of coming out on a sizzling cast-iron skillet, fresh and hot and ready for you to assemble yourself, THEY COME OUT PRE-PREPARED ALREADY? Fajitas are supposed to be LOUD and FRAGRANT and INTERACTIVE and should be an "event" when they arrive. They're an item most of us want to "build" ourselves to get just the right amount of individualized onions-to-peppers-to-meat ratio. You know what I'm talking about - when someone else builds your meal and you're looking at the quantities of meat, veggies, cheese, gauc, sour cream all over your plate and you're thinking, "Who builds a fajita this way?..." Well, Garcia's has found a way to lessen that personalized interaction patrons have with their fajitas, which just seems odd and quite frankly, cheap. Aside from this issue they're establishment deserves a visit.

five it was so amazing yes yes yes yeasssssss i'm mc lovin it yes ma'am let me come back whoop whooop

Awesome margaritas and food! This is a must try when you are in Amarillo!! The grilled tacos and fajitas are some of the best we have had! Ask for Mariah! Excellent service!!

Delicious grilled tacos! The enchilada sauce is really good. The salsas are delicious and the service was great.

I recommended this place to some friends but was embarrassed after our experience. The service was good and our server was super sweet. The food however, was not great. The queso was $10 and we didn't even eat it because it tasted bland and flavorless. The beans and the bacon had a rancid-like taste. I will unfortunately not be returning to eat at this location. There are much better Mexican restaurants in Amarillo.

Great atmosphere. Great waitstaff. Some of the food items on the menu are great. Some are average. I like the NM enchiladas. The carne guisada sucks. Not cooked long enough and I have tried it multiple times. Anything that requires slow cooking you should avoid. Tough like no tomorrow! Relenos are good. Enchiladas are great.

The food is excellent. The place is popular. They have a live band. The problem is it's crowded and has a long wait. Service is friendly. Menu is made of cheap material. I can be a little loud at times but mostly it's crowded. The food is great they. I recommend the barbacoa plate.

the food was embarrassingly bad and the prices were outrageous for the quality. queso was store bought and microwaved along with what I assume was meat somehow being over cooked while cheese was underdone both over salted along with leaving me to pick off chips burnt to a crisp, the owner should be embarrassed to have that come out of their restaurant and the charge for the quality was ridiculous, I've had better food at a hotel breakfast. the only thing this restaurant did right was hire a sweet server, invest in a cooktop because reheated and microwaved garbage is all that kitchen was capable of. I cteated a yelp account because this place was so bad.

Service was good food was pretty trash..the chips were really stale don't like the whole Tex mex thing water tasted like wet dog or something I have dogs so I can just imagine what that would taste like and the food was mediocre shrimp tastes like nasty tap water as well. I wouldn't come back not real Mexican food but whites might like it

We've been here twice and have been so impressed each time. Current favorites include the chips, the house margaritas, the queso fundido, the combo fajitas, and the quacomole. Good service and again... great margs!

There is no better Mexican restaurant anywhere than Tacos Garcia. Yep, I made that bold statement, and I will stand behind it. Get the TG's Plate with beef tacos (two or three). Try a bite of those delicious refried beans (I swear there is bacon grease in them!), and chomp into one of their crispy homemade shells stuffed with perfectly seasoned meat and all the fixins. Have a margarita (or two) or a Dos Equis amber, and end your meal with a sweet, cinnamon-crusted sopaipilla drizzled in honey. And then sit back and be shocked when you get your bill and see how reasonably priced everything is. Service is great. Ambiance loud but great. And the food? I think you know... If you're passing through Amarillo, definitely make a stop at Tacos Garcia. And if you live in Amarillo, why are you reading this review? Get yourself over to Tacos Garcia, and appreciate what a fantastic restaurant you have in your own backyard! We had to drive 850 miles for a return visit, and it was well worth it!

One of my most favorite Mexican restaurants love the food and the service I highly recommend this place

The food was trash driving through from California looking for Mexican food found this place waste of money I would not recommend

This place has good food, great place for parties, family, business meetings. People are pleasant n very warm atmosphere. I only had to complaints 1. Menudo didn't have enough salt, bland. But once you put your chile, onion, cilantro lemon n salt was perfect. 2. Way to small portions, for the price. If they put more food for their prices it would be 8 star restaurant.

Food is pretty good. It's Tex mex. Cheladas tho. Yummm. And only place I could find that had asada fries

Ordered the shrimp entree, very few shrimp. Vegetables covered in a hydrogenated oil mess.

My fiancé & I just moved here from Colorado, we stopped in for dinner & it is one the most family friendly restaurants I've been too!!! The staff was amazing and so kind!!! The manager( who I believe name was tony ) went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable & had everything our hearts & stomachs desired:)!! I highly recommend it!!

So far it's every Star of the 4.5 is has!!! Skinny Margarita handmade with my Organic Stevia is superb. ... Fresh chips and the three salsas are fresh and great! Roasted tomatoes were good in the salsa!!!! Chanklas....great appetizer!!! (Roasted veg wrapped in meat and bacon! pick your poison shrimp, chicken or fajita beef! Mojo de Ajo and calabacitas superb! Tortillas both corn and flour. The corn tortillas not so fresh. (From a mom that made them fresh everyday). Excellent retried beans! (Has lard- rendered lard not sure). Flour tortillas are good handmade by burrito stop !

Menu is extensive, fresh ingredients, great atmosphere and they serve you three types of fresh salsa with your chips. Our server anticipated our every need!!
