Our story
A family recipe.
A Garland tradition.
Taqueria Garcia's started the way the best kitchens do — with a family that couldn't find tacos in Garland that tasted like home, so they made their own. Today we cook those same recipes on N Plano Rd, one plate at a time.
How we cook
We keep it simple, the way our family always has. The tortillas get pressed fresh through the day, the salsas are made in-house every morning, and the meats are marinated and cooked the way they're supposed to be — not rushed, not faked. If it wouldn't go on our own table, it doesn't go on yours.
Everyone behind the counter is family or feels like it, and most of the folks who walk in we know by name. That's not a marketing line — it's just what happens when the same family cooks for the same neighborhood long enough. Garland has been good to us, and we cook like we owe it.
So whether it's a quick breakfast taco before work, a plate on your lunch break, or trays for the whole family on a Sunday, you're getting the real thing, made from scratch. Real tacos, the way abuela taught.
Made from scratch
Tortillas pressed daily, salsas made in-house, nothing frozen that doesn't have to be.
Family recipes
The seasonings and the salsas come straight from the family. You can't buy this flavor wholesale.
A counter that knows you
Come in twice and we'll remember your order. Come in a month and you're family.
The promise
“If it wouldn't go on our own family's table, it doesn't go on yours.”
— The Garcia family
