A longtime San Antonio favorite is getting national recognition from The New York Times.
Garcia’s Mexican Food was named one of “41 of the Greatest Mexican Restaurants Across the United States,” placing the family-owned San Antonio staple among standout Mexican restaurants nationwide.
Garcia’s has been serving San Antonio since 1962, when Julio and Yolanda Garcia opened the restaurant with Julio’s parents, Guadalupe and Nicolasa. The restaurant moved across the street to its current narrow location in 1970 and is now run by the founders’ children.
For John Garcia, the recognition is about more than the food. He sees it as a tribute to the family members who started the restaurant more than six decades ago.
