Garcia's Cantina & Cafe

I've only had one item here, but it was fantastic. I'd love to go back. The wait staff is exceptional.

I was hesitant to visit Garcia's, I'd never heard of it by word of mouth or in a commercial or anything. However, I loaded the family up, and we drove from Anchorage to ER. From the second we walked in, I felt welcome and appreciated as a customer. The food came quick, hot, and delicious. The atmosphere is a bit much, very loud in volume and visual. Will definitely be back.

So to touch on my 2nd visit. The food was by far worse. Everything looked off, tastes of burnt offering. I left my original below for fair measure. Well let's start with atmosphere. One cannot have a conversation at the table as the overall noise is well over necessary. And the decor is nit conductive to a family but more to a bar setting. Now the food, sadly I was served burnt food. Visually a off putting demonstration of poor standards. Putting that aside, flavors unfortunately took up the burnt aroma. What flavors that did come through weren't terrible so I would go as far to hope that under normal conditions it would be good. Service was not professional or well trained. Again more of a bar then a restaurant. Although I will not be returning, I have no doubt the many alcohol drinkers will.

We’re still on the hunt for the best Mexican food in Alaska… because it can be hard to come by, but Garcia’s did great today! We went in for lunch on a Saturday and it wasn’t too busy. The server was attentive and kept our table stocked with warm chips and salsa (2 baskets worth) throughout waiting and our meal. Thats one criteria for a good Mexican place… free chips and salsa . The food was pretty good! Nothing to freak out about, but it was flavorful and yummy. Just what we expected. Plus they have a cheaper lunch menu that we ordered off of and were full and satisfied. My big Chimi platter was only $15 which is a good deal I’d say. Overall great experience.

Such a great atmosphere great food friendly environment

I've Garcias for about 20 years. Love the whole menu. I like the lighting inside, bright enough to get around and to read menus without being as bright as other places. Parking: Right in front of the resturant. Kid-friendliness: Saw kids there enjoying their food! Wheelchair accessibility: A person can easily wheel or be pushed up the slight ramp from the designated handicapped places in front of the resturant.

Awesome portions for the price. Delicious food. Will be coming back.

Love this place! Been eating there over 34 years
