Staff and service were great, our food came out fast and it was delicious! Prices are very reasonable. And they had a great Mariachi band for brunch!

First time at Garcia's SOB and had a great meal. Went there last night with about 9 friends. Everyone enjoyed their food. We had everything from the wet burrito, shrimp diablo, carne asada plate, and ceviche. Nice portions at a very reasonable price. Also enjoyed a nice cold beer. To top it off, there service was fantastic! Highly recommend the restaurant and wish them much success.

Taco Tuesday is a great deal! And they have a great brunch, too! Staff is very friendly and attentive. Wine selection could use some attention. But still recommend

I'm really trying to like this place. It has a bit of an identity crisis. The menu and the food is solid, but the restaurant could use a good cleaning or makeover. If you walk in from the back parking lot, it's like walking through their storage room. Crap everywhere. It appears they cater more to the late night club crowd first, and the restaurant crowd second. If they can switch that around, this place has potential.

Went to Garcia's for their Thursday night special. You get a 12 oz ribeye steak, rice and beans for $17. First, the steak was huge. But most importantly the seasoning on the steak and the way it was cooked was out of this world. The steak had tremendous flavor. I cannot recommend this steak enough. Great flavor at a very reasonable price.

This was my first time coming to Garcia's SOB and it did not disappoint. We went on a Friday night for dinner and it wasn't too crowded. We received a friendly greeting by multiple employees and sat immediately with chips, salsa, and waters all around shortly after we were seated. We took an incredibly long time to order because my we were eating with a friend we had not seen in a long time. Even though we took forever to order and the server kept having to check on us, we never felt rushed by the server. My wife got a Cadillac Margarita and said it was great. We ordered flautas, a taco platter, enchiladas, and albondigas soup. Everything was perfect. Love their beans & rice too. After eating we talked for a long time catching up and noticed that the restaurant was slowly converting to a club. They were moving tables to make room. We decided it was time to leave when, I'm assuming it was, the manager (Mario) came over and wanted to assure us we could stay as long as we wanted, and to please not feel rushed. Overall a great experience from our entry to our exit. Even the nighttime security crew made a point of saying goodnight as we left. Would definitely recommend!

I went here on a Friday night after 11pm with a group of people and I had a great time! Atmosphere was super fun, music was muy caliente, and the DJ, JValentino, was awesome. I’ll definitely have to come back again to try their food. It looks delicious!

I've been here many times for brunch. Just recently went for taco tuesday. Awesome place. Every single thing I have tried over the 10+ times I've been there, zero complaints. Food is just awesome all around. The service has always been really good. And the place is well designed and decorated. Nice and clean bathrooms (although only 2 of them). I will be coming back to this place over and over.

The live band had their PA turned up so loud it literally hurt my ears and I generally like loud music. This was too loud. But the service was FANTASTIC and the food was pretty ok.

$15 all you can eat tacos, sopes, gorditas, and quesadillas on taco tuesdays... like what more could you want. Food was way more than I expected for the price. The decor definitely gives you something to admire while you're there. What really sets this place apart is the over the top customer service. From the moment you walk in until the moment you walk out the friendly staff will make you feel very welcome and taken care of. go check them out

Horrible experience went there to enjoy a beverage after usc two gentlemen who claimed being owners which was followed by security aggressively harassed our group of people we with and we left our drinks that were half drank because of how uncomfortable it was. Horrible ambiance.
