Very rude staff if you dont speak Spanish. Over price dishes, small portions. Steak are very small and over $30 dollars. Food for 4 people over $200, place is humid and smelly.
They give you chips and salsa to start with, we added Quac for $4 and change. They were little stingy on the Quac and chips. Its ok were all having tuff times. I Had the chili verde and that was very good. My wife had the taco salad and she liked that. Place was clean waiter seemed upset because he was only waitstaff on all day even though there was only 2 other tables to be waited on while we were there.
Pleasant atmosphere, attentive staff, friendly and inviting.....tasty dishes and highly recommend the margarita flights!!!!
Food is very good but they are short staffed. Worth the wait.
I have visited this place twice and each time I have had a great meal and wonderful service.I will continue to return when I am in Cortland again.
The food tasted authentic, specifically the guacamole; so delicious and fresh! Everything was great, the food arrived without a long wait and the service was friendly! We will be back!!
Food is good, servers are great, love the burrito deluxe Supreme. My wife loves the taco carna avardo. But sometimes I get a manager I think hates me i have no ideal why. First time order with this mgr was incomplete and wait was like 45 minutes then had to go back. Second order I walk in the door first and he serve the guy whom arrives about 30 seconds behind me. Just rude. Thankfully, the lovely servers are great as is the food.
My favorite Mexican Restaurant! They have amazing food and great service :)
The staff was very friendly and the food and proportions are amazing definitely will be coming back!!
The food is always perfect, and the workers are always so nice. Its become our go-to spot in town.
A great spot for some killer tacos 😋
The food here is excellent along with the service. To top it all off the ambience is perfect. I had enchiladas and it was a huge platter and very very good thank you to the kind staff who laughed at my not so good jokes. Highly recommend, and leave a big tip!
Excellent, authentic Mexican. And if you order a margarita, order the large - definitely the deal of the dayUpdate: back again for another visit. Sitting at the bar this time. Have to say the jumbo (aka large) margarita is a little week and sour. Watched the waitress pour two light shots into the glass. Ordered an extra shot and she only added an ounce rather than full jigger.
Very good& clean family place to eat. Very good food. Typically traditionally authentically Mexican . We loved it. Some one who likes to eat spicy this is the place. They also have vege options. The churos with hot chocolate is the best dessert here. The sea food tacos are all very delicious and comes in huge quantity with sides of salad or rice.
On a friends recommendation, I stopped in for the macho burrito. The thing must weigh 2 pounds. I chose steak and fajita style vegetables and spent the next hour thoroughly enjoying the gorging. I stopped in late afternoon on Wednesday and it was lightly populated. Fast and friendly service and my order came with free chips and salsa like any good Mexican restaurant. I also have a full bar and drink specials.
Just a great place to eat all around. I used to like their old location but I really love the new location more. Ive been there several times and I always get a great meal and great service no matter how busy it is. I really enjoy the margaritas that they make. They have several different styles and they even do pitchers. I really like their quesadillas but you cant go wrong with anything they make
Large portions. Warm chips ! Salsa good wish it was more chunky, lol. Yummy
Food was cold and bland and my friend and i ended up on the toilet for the rest of the night. it’s great for a cheap eat in cortland but i don’t recommend
Best Mexican restaurant in upstate NY. Staff is super friendly and the food is always great every time I go. Burrito calzoneta es mi favorito!!!
Always worth the trip to Cortland for Garncias!Never disappointed! Always amazing!
Amazing place for Mexican food. Great portions, great drinks, and good prices. Got Macho Burrito totally worth it!
Always a pleasure coming here! Excellent, friendly service, perfect drinks, and delicious, huge portions of food!
So good. I order here all the time and my husband gets it. Yum yum.😋 Only downside is when we got those chips there was a dead ant in the bag..
Went a few weeks ago for date night. Staff was friendly and the food was excellent. Dont order the nacho fajitas appetizer as your main dish, though. Not enough toppings for a main dish, but that was my fault.
Friendly staff, fast service, and large portions.
Good food but the dining area was a little cold for winter
Great authentic Mexican Food had the Enchiladas and felt they were excellentBut the real winner was the desert home-made dessert Flan made in the kitchen it took me back to a trip I made to Mexico tears ago!!! If your in Cortland New York you MUST try Garcias!!!!!!!
We ordered soft tacos, they were tasteless. The ground beef wasnt seasoned and the icebergs lettuce had a funny taste, we ate them so we wouldnt waste food. My 11 year old said the tacos we make at home are way better. I ordered a Margherita, said yes when they asked if I wanted salt on the rim, it came saltless and what tasted like tequilaless as well, and it cost over ten bucks. The drink was more than my entrée. Sorry to say we wont be going back, no where near the same expierence as before the place relocated.
Food is delicious, but service is very slow.
Passing through Cortland on our way back home and happened upon this gem. The Fiesta Burrito was bigger than the picture on the menu made it look...sooooo delicious! The food was excellent and the price was reasonable.
Very good, but can do better next time...I ordered carryout for my family and me and drove to a random spot to eat in our car as is our tradition. (Gotta love CoVid.) The food was aMAZing and the price was very reasonable. Staff were friendly and prompt, the restaurant looked clean... everything one would expect from a great restaurant. One glitch, though. By the time we stopped to eat, (5 minutes away, and our order couldnt have waited long for us to pick up, as we called it in 10 minutes prior to arriving), my food was completely cooled to ambient temperature. My wifes food was fine. Considering the above conditions, however, we still recommend Garcias, trusting that the food temp problem was an anomaly for them, (one that is easily rectified if you are dining in or check your food before you leave), and we will be back to give them a shot at a revised 5 star rating.
Very good! Friendly staff and it was quick. Way more food than I could eat for a good price! Please consider not serving plastic straws anymore since they’re not too great for the environment, but love everything else! :)Quick place to pull over for a meal if you’re passing through like I was.
They need to figure out a way to secure those beach umbrellas, which would be blown onto the street if winds become gusty enough. The waiter acknowledged the problem and promptly took it off my table, perhaps saving me from another Mary Poppins moment. Also, you need to protect your food from “curious” bees - they will try to get a taste of anything and everything. But that’s a given in most outdoor dining space these days.I usually judge a Mexican place pretty hard by its fajitas, and this place delivered at a great price point. The food is seasoned well and generously portioned. Service is friendly.
Food and staff were both great
This is the best Mexican food place Ive been to. Love the food here and not expensive. Very fast service
Good food, friendly atmosphere, huge daiquiris and margaritas
Food was absolutely amazing. Best Churros I’ve ever had in my life!
Decent food. Great customer service.
Fast service, very good food, reasonable prices.
Second time I have ordered food for my family. Second time they cant get it right. If you order anything different than whats on the menu you will not get it. I ordered a burrito not smothered in sauce they literally put some meat in a tortilla and still put something all over it nothing else at all. Would not recommend at all. I love home town food but your honestly better off at taco bell
Great place with great food and priced right. Glad my sister and brother in law introduced us to this restaurant
Thank you to everyone at garcias for helping us host a wonderful family meal together.
Loooove Garcias! Awesome food, good sized portions, and friendly service. I HIGHLY recommend the fajita nachos! My personal favorite.
The food was excellent, even after getting it to go so I can only guess at how delicious it wouldve been fresh from the kitchen. The place was very clean as well. The staff were also incredibly pleasant and helpful
Great choices on menu.overgenerous portions.
Very good food, great prices. But it can be a little off-putting if you havent ever gone to a Mexican restaurant before. Make sure you ask exactly what is in/on the item you are ordering.but once you know what you want/like its great. Fast service good food and prices, and the chips and salsa are free, delicious, and bottomless!!
Great Mexican restaurant in Cortland NY. We stopped on our way to Canada and didnt expect something this good. Lot of vegetarian options too and delicious Flan dessert.Nice setting and overall a great experience.
Hands down some of the best Mexican food Ive ever had. From Mexico to California to Fl, this is one of the best.
$15 for 3 bare tacos, most places that load them up only charge $1-$2 per taco. Everytime Ive been the cocktails are super watered down or missing the alcohol. Dont waste your money just get a bottled beer.
We came here for a a very special Birthday all the way from Binghamton because we was told how great the food and service was. Well we had a very different experience. The food was nothing like the Garcias in Horseheads NY. And the services was horrible!!! Thanks we wont be back and my reviews are well liked by Google :)
The entrance is wheelchair accessible. I was able to get in with my standard size manual chair, but it was a little tight. A wider chair might have a problem.There is a public parking lot less than 150 feet away, with a paved sidewalk from the parking lot to the restaurant entrance.The food was very good. This very unpretentious restaurant was very authentically Mexican.
The guacamole tacos are bomb-- but I get them on flour tortillas because they dont make their own corn tortillas. Service was excellent the waitress and I made jokes throughout the meal. Free chips with two different salsa options was cool.
It is always a pleasure, make that a joy, to have dinner at Garcias. The food is terrific, the atmosphere welcoming, and the staff are like family.
It was nicely made, on time. Will order again.
Great atmosphere, great people, great food!! We went out for Valentines/Birthday dinner, only had a few minute wait for a table. They brought out a special desert for my birthday and convinced me to try it, which is not like me. I was very satisfied and will return!!!
Great food: fresh and prepared well. Fast service.
Great Mexican food. If you love Mexican food and want quality, eat here. Im not a Mexican food fan, but when a friend invited me I couldnt pass it up. I ordered the chicken quesadillas and they were deliciously juicy. Plus back in grade school we went on a Spanish field trip and they had the best desserts.
Amazing mexican food! Authentic with wonderful decor, full size margaritas, full stocked menu and bar. The portion sizes are incredible for the price, and you leave full and satisfied with your visit I would definitely venture to Garcias again!
Amazing. Here on a short trip from Syracuse and we had a craving for some good Mexican food. This place fit the bill nicely. Great staff and even better food. Definitely hit this place while you’re in town.
Enjoyable mexican fare. Though busy service was good. Food portions were plentiful and delicious. Hadnt been to new location, found it smaller and less spacious than original site, but very comfortable.
Food is okay but service is ridiculous simply because they get so busy you can’t even get refill or ask for drinks because they never check on you. Definitely should have more personal on the floor. I wanted to catch a buzz but it’s clear this place was the wrong place to go for drinks ...
I placed an order and was told 15 minutes. Upon returning to the place from my car after 20 minutes. Not only was my order not ready I was given an attitude by the whole staff because of me asking questions about the order. There customer service needs to worked on.
Authentic Mexican food, really!Many items and combinations to choose from. And they are all tasty. A very casual place so dont bother to dress-up. Just enjoy the foods and the friends you brought.
Went in for a meal as I arrived in Cortland for Thanksgiving. The waiter was nice the food was good
I loved going to Garcias when they were located on Route 13, but we visited the new Main Street location and were very disappointed in the atmosphere and service. The old location we were in and out in 30-45 minutes but could stay and enjoy company if we wanted. This time, we had a reservation but the staff seemed puzzled by that when we walked in and then told us we had to wait so long for our food because another table seated next to us was a reservation..... The new location felt like it was a bar still, very cold and cramped, and the music was too loud to have a conversation with family sitting a few seats down. It was extremely disappointing as the food was always delicious but probably will not return now due to service and atmosphere.
The food is amazing! The price is surely worth the food! Portions are a good size, the drinks are great and the service is the finest! Did I mention the food??? Because Ive said it once, and Ill say it again, the food is amazing!
The food here is really good, with very generous portions. Im not qualified to comment on the authenticity of the food, but it definitely tastes good. The service has been very friendly every time weve come for dinner, and food always comes very quickly after we order.
Food is always amazing and the staff is friendly and on point with service. I live over an hour away, but any time Im in the area I have to stop in to eat there
Everything was delicious. Four of us (one vegetarian) were all delighted with all our choices. The staff were friendly and helpful. The food was fresh, well-prepared, and super tasty.
Amazing authentic Mexican dishes at unbeatable prices. Staff is very friendly, and accommodating. Calm atmosphere, beautiful decor. Highly recommend.
The plates were so hot that it burned my fingers. My son was given a plate so hot that I couldnt touch it to slide it away. The food was terrible. Absolutely disgusting. I wanted authentic Mexican food and the food was either very over cooked or not even made correctly. The service was terrible, and it wasnt until i began to yell out in Spanish that me and my table of 5 were given any attention. Never again will I go there.
Wasn’t the experience I was promised by a local. Mexican food is usually a very safe option with people with food restrictions however, especially if you’re vegan or vegetarian, avoid this restaurant. The server seemed irritated with my questions even after I expressed that I would be very sick if meat or meat products were in my order. Absolutely no idea how to serve eatable food to non-meat eaters, which is so out of the ordinary. Rice on their “vegetarian” menu is cooked in chicken stock. Food and service cannot be trusted if you have ANY sort of dietary restrictions.
A bit chilly inside but great food. They do well but if its busy it does take a while to get served. Good atmosphere but setup is a bit rough for smaller children just out of high chairs.
Early dinner (when you work 3rd shift). Something light. Shrimp poblano dinner with guacamole salad. Skipped the chips and salsa, rice, and beans. Very tasty. Good burn from the pepper. I would have detailed the shrimp but they were well prepared. Next time lunch so I can get a full meal.
Always amazing food and wonderful service. I have never had a bad experience here!
Food is always good, service is always good, if you like Mexican food this is the place to go in Cortland.
The food is absolutely incredible!!!!!! I would have definitely given 5 stars, but our waitress was rude and terrible at her job. There was only one other table of two besides our family of 7, and no one at the bar. I had to walk up to the bar to get things for our table three times (no exaggeration). She didnt pay any attention to our beverages which were obviously empty for quite sometime, even after walking by our table multiple times she didnt offer refills, I had to stop her and ask for them. Also it was my girlfriends 21st birthday and after giving the waitress her ID, her words were oh its your birthday? in a rude tone that sounded as if it was an issue that it was her birthday and did not even wish her a happy birthday or anything... But the food was so good and their portions are large so we will definitely eat there again despite the horrible waitress!
Great food and dessert. Was in around 8pm, great service. Really comfortable place, and has a really clean and nice washroom as well.Great vegetarian options too!
Great pricing, great vibe, great food!
I ordered popeye chicken meal and it was serioiserthe best chicken I have ever had.The staff was friendly and accommodating, the atmosphere was laid back and cozy. Every meal that my family ordered was excellent. Highly recommend.
Very poor service, had to get a refill on my water. Brought bill with out ever asking if we wanted anything else. Probably wont be back.
New menu okay. But both the menu and the website show the incorrect opening time. They really open at 12:00 noon every day (not 1100). They have also changed there chips which used to be thin and light. The chips now (and the taco shell) were much heavier and less tasty. Used to be 4 stars.
Very welcoming staff and quality food with big portions
Holiday weekend, regular cook must have been off..drinks good, service okay. Food: awful tonight, sorry
Just picked up Shrimp ChimiChanga dinner. I couldnt eat it all! It was wonderful! Their sales are way down due to the pandemic. Please help them!
Great food! Great margaritas 🍹 very quick service.
By far one of the best Mexican food places in the east. Workers are amazing and would go back
Went there last night due to the favorable recommendations. Lived up to they hype. Big plates of great tasting food and reasonable prices. Had the quesadilla and husband had the chimichanga. Pint of Dos Equis only $3.50. Not bad and best Mexican food Ive had since leaving TX. Highly recommend.
New downtown location is clean and spacious, featuring the same home made authentic food. SO GOOD and fresh! Go today, dont miss out!
This has to be the worst Mexican place I have ever eaten at.for the love of all things Mexican do not put crappy marinara sauce on a chili relleno, its disgusting and you should feel bad.terrible food with no redeeming qualities
This place is a gem nestled in small town Cortland. Its authentic Mexican food. Huge portions and inexpensive. Wont be disappointed. Good margaritas as well.
We’re always looking for good Mexican restaurants after moving to upstate NY from the southwest. Garcia’s has the best Mexican food in the area. Note that the address is 139 SOUTH Main St. in Cortland.
Delicious food at a reasonable price. We had the enchiladas supreme.
Garcias has always been great, still is.I love their carnitas, and the little things like the refried beans and their rice that is done right.Daily specials, authentic recipes, great food and service.Garcias is the real deal, dont waste your money at some fake microwave Mexicanish reheatery.
Great food and service...closest thing to the Mexican food I used to get in SW Oklahoma.
Love this place. Always good food and good service. Owner is the nicest guy youll meet.
I used to really like this place but I was pretty disappointed with my most recent visit. They raised the prices on their food which is unfortunate since the food has not improved at all. I also purchased a Cheese Quesadilla and when it came to the table it had American Cheese in it. It was really gross and I couldnt eat it. When I told the waitress I couldnt eat it she took it to the manager who took half off the Quesadilla. It was a $2.50 Quesadilla. So no, its not breaking my bank to pay $1.25 but I shouldnt have had to pay anything for that disgusting Quesadilla. Especially one that would have been so cheap for them to make considering it was one floor tortilla and American Cheese. I dont think Ill be coming back to this restaurant if they are going to be so stingy and not put customer service first.
Friendly staff. I always feel like family when I go.
We were promised a refund for them givingMy wife the wrong take out order. Never happened. Talked to manager and they were very unhelpful. Would not recommend eating here.
Very good food, resturant was clean, friendly server, fair price. One coed bathroom is all I saw it was clean but small and parking is limited.
Delicious food, fair prices, fast service, very kind staff. Highly recommend!
Always a good bet. Nice folks here too. Ate so much I bought a room.
As others have said, authentic Mexican cuisine. Very good food and great service. Nice atmosphere. My wife loves the flan dessert.
Great food, friendly staff, huge portions, we love it there.
Great food, great people, great service, 15 minute wait tops! Prices are fair and you get more than what you pay for! Keep it up guys!!
Great food, great service. Huge portions!!
Wow! What a fantastic, authentic Mexican meal. Our food was delicious and the atmosphere was great. Five stars!
Fantastic Mexican food at incredible prices. Best in the county. Under new management and turned around 180°. You cant go wrong at Garcias.
Food was great, good price, decent atmosphere. Service was not the best, but ok.
Good food. Decent prices and decent portions. Friendly service.
If you want real Mexican food, Garcias is the place to go. They always have great food and ice cold beer.... I come here at least once a week
I ordered an enchilada, if you dont specify you get beef, with every meal. Definitely would have preferred chicken. Was still good
My favorite mexican restaurant anywhere. Many things to choose from, service is great and pretty quick. Also, their new location downtown is awesome, but is much more busy.
Awesome as always the absolute best authentic Mexican food in New York state.
This place is great. Try the chicken taquitos( taquitos de polo) this is served with guacamole dip, the chorizo sausage in white cheese sauce (choriqueso) served with house made tortilla chips and wash it down with a frozen peach margarita!!! Yum:)
I got the taco Tuesday meal. I got delivered chips with no salsa and taco without sauce. It was dry and cold and had to pay extra for delivery. Very unhappy.
Always friendly service, nice atmosphere, food comes out quick (on an average night of course) and wonderful food. Never a complaint!
Excellent food, service, prices, and atmosphere. Huge portions. We will all be back again. Authentic
A little down to earth diner, price a bit higher but with big portions and complements.
Ordered simple menu items, they came cold. Not impressed with the unfriendly service or the decor. Same old stuff on the walls. Will not be returning to this restaurant.
I always like going here. The Waitstaff is super warm, accommodating and nice. The food is delicious and the atmosphere is nice and relaxing.
Always great service that is both quick and friendly
Absolutely authentic and delicious 😋 we highly recommend!
The place felt and tasted authentic, along with amazing service. I had a blue margarita that went perfectly with the meal.
Stopped while traveling between Syracuse and Binghamton. What a great place. Food is excellent, nice sized portions. Friendly staff. A gem!!!
Authentic mexican food, prompt service, been going there for many years, one of my favorites
Food was great and did not have to wait long for food to call me out. Looking forward to going again
Love their Chile Rellenos! I am from Texas and this is my go-to place for Mexican food. Great rice, beans, and salsa!
Great local Mexican restaurant, very friendly wait staff, and not expensive. Had a great lunch there!

Food was delicious, margarita was very good. Service was a little slow considering they were almost empty.
Delicious food and great portions! Cant wait to go back!
Horrible experience. The move to the new South Main St location is a mistake. Its noisy, the service is really slow. Its our first visit at the new location. Absolutely will never be back
Good food. Waitress is was very helpful and friendly.

Delicious, authentic Mexican food, friendly staff, excellent atmosphere.
Food and service is great. Authentic atmosphere including background music.
Living in El Paso for 8 years, Garcias is the closest I can get in Upstate New York to an authentic Mexican restaurant.
Wonderful place, great food, a little on the higher end of the scale, but worth it if your looking for a treat!
Always great. Best authentic Mexican food in the area by far.
Delicious!!! Super friendly staff! Great dinner. Thank you!
Food is great always and the people are so nice!!
Great tacos, burritos, and mango quesadillas. If you like some heat, try the spicy shrimp dish, cameron fra diavolo!
Its just not good. Bring back the original Garcias owners and recipes. They did it best.
Excellent food, service was fantastic
Awesome place!!!! Great Blue Margaritas. Best in town. Food is great!!!
Really good authentic Mexican food
More of a bar atmosphere and service is not up to par
Authentic as you can get in Cortland. Try the Margarita flight! Great food. Friendly staff.
Authentic Mexican food. Very fast service. Very attentive wait staff!

Great authentic Mexican food. Fast attentive service.
This place looks like a hole but it delivers great service and huge portion sizes and amazing food.
Shrimp Fajitas are awesome! As good as it gets in Cortland for authentic food.
Wonderful food, great people

2022-01-28Went to Garcias for the first time tonight, the environment was welcoming and warm.The wait staff was attentive and friendly. The portions sizes were HUGE and everything tasted wonderful, The churros were amazing as well. We will definitely be going back!

2022-02-19My daughter and her fiancé just moved to Cortland and we decided to try. The staff could not have been friendlier, and we each got a different meal and were completely impressed with the amount, presentation and taste. Just fyi, the Mexican pizza is a FULL size pizza, not personal size, but so fresh and yummy 😊

2022-01-17Last night was such a wonderful experience at Garcia’s. It was my wife’s birthday and they were super accommodating, helpful sweet and just above and beyond. We came in with another couple for a quiet celebration. They made the perfect amount of ‘fuss’ and just made us smile.Such nice people. Owner, staff, and food were just amazing.I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone!!!

2022-05-06Wonderful food. I moved from Austin, Texas to Colorado and now Upstate New York and have been searching for years for a restaurant that would fill the void that tex mex left and this fits the bill. It immediately tastes like something I could have gotten back home in Texas, which is to say delicious. 10/10

2022-05-08Had a great date night! The atmosphere, the service, the drinks, but most of all the FOOOOD are all amazing here. Try the fajita quesadilla!!

2021-05-02*Portions are large and the food is both fresh and delicious! It was our first time so we werent sure what to expect. Lots of food options on the menu (although my husband was sad there were no tortas and no cecina). The tortilla bowls for the beans and rice were a creative serving idea, too.*Kids menu is kind of limited, and no substitutions were allowed--my son loved his adult-sized meal and was happy to bring his leftovers home with him.*Didnt take pictures of the churros, flan, or deep fried ice cream because they were eaten so quickly :)

2022-07-01We love Garcias, it is always a must have when we are in Cortland. Their food is very affordable, though the alcohol is a bit on the expensive side. That said the food is fantastic and comes in huge portions. Nothing is ever dry and they are good about catering to spice preference. Will always recommend and always come back!

2021-05-04After looking for lunch for HOURS and trying several places (covid has very much affected the restaurant industry), I found THIS gem. A smallish family style mexican restaurant. It looks unassuming from the street, but let me just say. HOLY WOW were myself and my significant other blown AWAY. From the 1800 tequila pitcher of margaritas to the queso and the DINNERS🤩🤩🤩 Even the refried beans were drool worthy! It wasnt very packed when we arrived and only three staff to be seen out front. The waitress was very kind and moved quickly and efficiently. It filled up quickly, and given that it was a Sunday afternoon, we took this as a great sign. All of the hours of waiting and driving and getting hangry were SO worth it when it came to this gem! We will MOST definitely be back as this is our new favorite Mexican restaurant. Thank You Garcias!!

2022-03-06Had high Hopes based on the reviews I read but was a bit disappointed. I ordered the 3 enchiladas with rice and my girlfriend ordered the chicken fajitas. My enchiladas were cold the rice was bland and overcooked and sizzling hot fajitas platter was loaded with soggy tomato strips. Overall not impressed. We ordered the fried icecream to finish on a high note but after the waitress returned from the kitchen.... it was sold out. 😖

2022-02-27Great food, drinks, and staff! Not much more to say other than that.
