Garcia's Restaurant — Restaurant in Chinle Agency

This is a restaurant in a Holiday Inn. There aren't many other options in Chinle. Some of the food is good, some is not. We ate here for dinner and breakfast, and had the same waitress for both.

Good: Breakfast, which is included for two people when staying at the hotel. My wife and I had steak (medium-rare) and eggs (over-easy). Both were cooked perfectly, and I would absolutely order it again. My son got a pancake and he ate it all.

Bad: Mac and cheese. My son got this for dinner, and it looked like they cooked it on one side, flipped the whole thing, and cooked it on the other side. Parts of it were nearly burned, and it looked chewy. I almost sent it back, but he thought it was OK.

OK: Cheeseburger and quesadilla.

Terrible: Broccoli. It was a sickly green, and it looked like it was canned...

The food was good, the staff (who seemed short staffed) were very friendly and we got everything quickly. The only complaint is that I asked someone standing near the kitchen area, and as our waiter was super busy, I asked if we could get a few to go boxes. He gave me a weird look and was pretty rude about it. Our waiter was phenomenal and super nice, just overworked. Our waiter was so good that I'm giving this 5 stars instead of 3 for the rude interaction. We came in around October 7th in the evening, I can't remember the waiters name, but I hope he gets credit for being awesome. The hostess was very sweet as well. This was my dad's 2nd time here, and he got the Navajo Tacos both times. He loves them....

Throughly disappointed. Service sucked. Overpriced for what you get. DON'T EAT HERE!!! There may have been a pinch of cheese on my half covered small Navajo Taco lost in the tasteless beans, the one sliced olive and the one cut up slice of tomato. For $20. Two little packets of salt for our table of 4. Waitress came back once to leave the $100+ check. Never gave us water refills or ask if we wanted dessert. My meal was served 5 minutes after my three guests received and were eating their meals. Burgers are dry. Salmon decent. I was totally embarrassed in front of my guests. This place is a joke of...
