Garcia's Mexican Restaurant 8601 U.S. 377, Tolar, TX 76476

"Five stars because imo it’s the best place for Mexican food in Hood County. Family owned & operated, friendly, very fast service and affordable. Even in the busiest of times you just walk in, find a table, sit where you want and they are quick to greet and serve you. They have a good lunch menu. When I order take out it’s always ready when i get there and just as good to go as dine in. Only disadvantage is closed on Sundays."

"Loud music. However, they seated as far away as possible from the speakers upon my request. I really like the food and the service was excellent."

"We arrived a few minutes past opening time at 11am. There were cars in the parking lot. We got to the door, and it was locked. We saw people sitting inside, but they couldn't hear the knock because of the foyer and another door that led into the restaurant. We went back to the car, and I called Garcia's to ask if they were open? She said yes, then I let her know the door was locked. When we walked back, the door was open. We were waited on and ordered promptly. The food came out quick, so quick it was lukewarm. We decided not to have it sent back, but just mention it to the cashier for other customers' benefit. When mentioned, the cashier didn't even acknowledge our comment. All we were looking for was a reply such as, 'I'll let the kitchen know.' That's it, that's all we wanted."

"I would not even give it one star!! Absolutely HORRIBLE!! The food I ordered was wrong and barely warm and the rice tasted burnt! I took 2 bites and that was enough for me!! My husband got the chalupa plate and they had a small scoop of beans not even spread.. a pound of lettuce and one tiny slice of tomato not even chopped up and the tortilla was stale.. he only ate one and we left ... I told the server about my order she was obviously not concerned but did offer to get me something else but we chose to leave instead of waiting another 25 minutes for food... Got up to the register and the girl asked me how everything was and I told her and she got mad that I was telling her how awful it was... Can't fix what you don't know about... Please don't waste your money ... Locals may like it but it's probably the worst Mexican food we've ever had... YUK!!!"

"We were pleasantly surprised about this little gem of a place tucked away in the middle of no where! We have been here two times to eat in and once for take out, all really good. The food is fresh, salsa has good flavor but they will only fill once with no additional charge. Honestly, save room for the food. Lol! We have tried their regular salsa and another with a bit more of a punch if you are looking for some heat ask for the green salsa. The service is good as well, always friendly and they listen! That's not a given anymore unfortunately. The food: Beef Fajitas, take-out, good flavor, not dry or chewy, they could be a little less stingy with it (I mean who doesn't want a little more beef!) but it is plenty and we had a little leftover so no complaints. Ranchero Platter, again, all the basics and they were good. Tamale was a bit dry but still worth eating. Beef Fajita Nachos, nothing overwhelming about these, I like my condiments on the side so I can make the perfect bite but I am sure they are just as good the "normal" way with condiments piled on. Overall, highly recommend if you find yourself cruising through the big city of Tolar, TX."
