The BEST homemade TexMex in Austin! These guys used to be "Casita Jorge's". It is always so fresh. Lettuce and tomatoes, avocados as fresh as it gets! We were there on a Friday evening and there was an hour wait, tells you how good it is if people are willing to wait over an hour!

This place is good. Service is good, always get a table right away. The food is pretty cheap compared to other places around. I like the cheese enchiladas and the breakfast taco. Friends say the fajitas are great. Nice little neighborhood place. The waitress always remembers what me and my two buds order every time. Nice.

The fajita nachos were literally 2 crunchy taco shells broken into pieces with a very small serving of meat. Their lunch specials are also garbage because instead of the listed price of $8, they charged $16. Color me surprised when my check didn't add up. The only reason they get 2 stars is because I liked the hot sauce with the complimentary chips

The food was delicious and the staff was friendly and attentive. We did wait for an hour, so I would suggest signing in, and finding a comfortable place to wait. They'll call you when your table is ready. If you're looking for a nice buzz, the frozen margs is where it's at!

I usually get the enchiladas from here and they are the bomb. Portions are big and the prices are reasonable compared to other places with the same menu selection. It's a fairly well known establishment that's pretty small but worth the wait if you are dining in.

Use to love this place until my money got stolen off my table before the waitress could come get it "I guess". FYI never lay your money and ticket down on your table at a restaurant. This place has no cameras at all and the manager is not understanding at all. Will neve go back. When ever my colleagues would come in town I would tell them about this place well next again. Casa Garcia you most definitely have my business for now on

Owner Robert does a great job. Be patient, it's worth the wait.

My favorite enchilada place in Austin. The enchiladas are smothered in sauce and cheesy goodness. The sauce is soo good and the salsa is spicy yummyness. The restaurant itself is small and not the most pleasing to the eye but the food makes it all worth it!

Although it can get VERY crowded here at times, it's certainly worth going. My boyfriend says that the margaritas are delicious and I really like their food. I've had the enchiladas many times. The chicken ones can run a bit dry, but they're tasty for the most part. You also get a lot of food for what you pay - the mexican dinner comes with lot of food and it's only $9! The servers are really down to earth and every time I go here, it feels like I'm being served by old friends!

Ate there one time and that was one mistake I never made again. Before I finished my plate my stomach started getting nauseous and by the time I got home I was throwing up in my yard. I only lived 3 blocks away. What really made me mad was 2 cooks kept watching me every time they came to the window to put plates up. I worked in the restaurant business for 12 years so this made me think they put something in the food but I didn't see them do it so couldn't say anything. I didn't see them looking at anyone else eating they came up with plates and looked straight at me. So long to that roach infested place.

Such great food!! The rice is to die for and enchiladas are yummy and if you used to like El Patio in Austin then you will love the enchiladas they almost taste the same but better! Tried the migs recently and it is so good!! Service is fast and super attentive. The only bad thing is the parking and maybe the salsa is a little bit too spicy. Other than that this place rocks!!!

Some of my favorite Tex-Mex in town. I've been coming here longer than they've been in this building. Favorites include the queso (a must!), carne guisada (best I've had), fajitas, and cheese enchiladas. The margaritas are strong but not smooth; favorite is mango (I generally drink top shelf on the rocks). Always a wait, especially at peak times. Come early or late to avoid crowds/lines.

Ridiculously over priced Tex -Mex. Since I paid literally twice what I should have, they lose two stars for that. I've heard that they even charge extra for salsa & chips if you want a refill? Really???



In terms of ambience it gets a big fat ZERO. Generic stacking chairs, folding tables and no interior decoration or background music worthy of any mention whatsoever. Subtracting one more star for lack of ambience...

Service was decent and I was not charged for a refill of iced tea, so they will retain a star for that.

The food was also decent, so they will also retain an additional star for a grand total of two stars.

So why is this place still in business? I can only speculate that the newly arrived Californians haven't figured out that they're paying twice what they should be paying....

I have called this place 6 times today since i placed my order at 2:15 pm and and couldn't get through until 8 in the evening. Robert the manager tells me there is nothing he can do about my order being wrong and doesn't understand why my call hasn't gone through because they took twenty orders. Yes they actually told me this! Talk about poor customer service. I could understand if i ate cheese enchiladas but seeing that I do not, I am livid! Don't waste your time and money here unless you're dining in. (Your order is/will not be guaranteed)

Great, very strong margaritas. Sub par food. In desperate need of renovations. I only go cause my boss likes it so much. I would never willingly go on my own to this restaurant. If they ever get better parking and a bigger, cleaner dining room and a bathroom with more than 1 stall then maybe....

Was the second option for the evening, should have been the last. Saw the name repeating on Austin's Reddit so we gave it a shot. The place seemed packed so we expected a decent experience but unfortunately the food was less than satisfying. I must say the staff were all polite and respectful so it wasn't a totally horrid experience, just suboptimal food and seating.

We visited on a Saturday night. Big crowd, 10 minute wait so not a big deal. We were seated to the back left from the entry point and I'm not sure if that's the bar or if the group behind us was just standing all over but we were essentially sat in a standing crowd of people shouting and drinking. Shouting is fine, it's the weekend and the venue serves alcohol I can understand. People hovering over our table as we eat was very chaotic. I would think they can rope off an area from the bar or wherever these people were to allow those eating a few feet of space from the bar only crowd.

The food...

Chicken enchiladas. The meat could not have been seasoned. It simply is not possible that chicken was prepared in any other manner than being cooked and shredded. Extremely disappointing and stood out from under the sour cream sauce.

The $4.50 queso was a rather small portion for the price and had the consistency of watery paint. It was listed as Chile con queso pero where was the meat? Not one bit to be found in our serving.

Salsa actually had a nice lil light spice to it and perfect consistency IMO. Chips were also prepared in a nice medium manner. Not snapping mid dip but also not a burnt rock.

Again, fine service (other than the seating location) but very disappointing in all other regards.
