Congratulations to the new owners of Bubba Garcia’s

You have asked for suggestions: Thank you

However, I have a question. Where is Bubba? What happened to our Favorite “Go To” Mexican Cantina ? Where is Bubba ? Our kids and grandkids grew up with Bubba’s; looking for a lost teenager ? Bubba Garcia’s was the first place you looked. Looking for a lost grandma?

Bubba Garcia’s was the first place you looked. Looking for real, authentic Mexican food? The best Tacos or Enchiladas? Bubba Garcia’s was the place you found it. Looking for (nouveau-Mex), Bubba Garcia’s is the place to go. We are Looking for our Bubba? Where is Bubba Garcia’s? We want Bubba! We want Bubba Garcia back.

Response from the owner 22 hours ago Where’s Bubba? He’s looking for a good review that you’ve ever left a restaurant...... BTW Nell, we only asked for suggestions so we can read them after hours upstairs when we’re drinking. Some are hilarious.

This response from the owners of Bubba Garcias is one of the reasons we will never go back there, the owners are apparently as classless as their response indicates . After hours they are drinking and laughing at their patrons comments and...

Unfortunately, it is not possible to recommend a restaurant that serves flavorless food, as this would contradict the purpose of a good dining experience.😬 The chips were stale, the salsa needs improved in texture (it’s like water), and ✨ FLAVOR✨was lacking. 👎 Chips and salsa are so simple to do right. 🤦‍♀️I don’t understand why that would be something that a place can’t deliver as a bare minimum. 🤏 Loaded nachos are also so easy to do….The ground beef was just plain ground oily beef with no seasoning✨… Tacos🌮 with pulled pork lacked moisture 🌵💧and the wonderful melted tenderness 🤤 that pulled pork should have, it was dry. 😢 Very disappointing.

Music was off?…listening to, “Bring It All Back Song by S Club 7 ‧ 1999” is not my idea of a fun time or Mexican restaurant vibes. Atmosphere is empty feeling and lacks intimacy, it’s missing something. The sever was kind and gave good service. But food was gross. So, will not be returning and will be telling my Peeps, 🧍🧍‍♀️🧍‍♂️“This place ew, no. Let’s...

Last Saturday, I was with a group of 6. We got there at 1230 and decided to sit outside. The place was not busy at all, plenty of seating available. My brother n law pulled a small table over to another table to give us more room because we were a group of 3 women and 3 men. The waitress rudely comes out onto the porch and moves the table back and says, the big table will seat six and you dont need this table. And she proceeded to move the small table back. This small table had a bench seat on one side and a chair on the other. I turned the chair around to sit at the end of the bigger table so it rendered the smaller table useless anyway. So I dont understand why she would let us use the smaller table to make us more comfortable. I can see her view if the place was busy, but it was not. Not at all. AND she could have been nice about it rather than the rude way she handled it. Yall have lost my business. And the other two couples with my husband and me feel the same way. We...

I've been here a couple times while staying in the area for business. I mainly frequented the upstairs bar. The restaurant closes early, but so do most places around here. The bar is open til 2am, and I think you can order food from downstairs after the restaurant has closed. I've eaten here previously, and remembered that it was standard TexMex, not great but not horrible. The bartenders upstairs are friendly and attentive. I just had beer so can't speak to their mixed drink pours. They have plenty of distractions, pool, darts, video golf, large tvs/projectors and group seating galore. Seems like the local catch all hangout spot, as the crowd is fairly diverse in age, gender and ethnicity. It's a super cool and convenient place as it's right behind the hotel I usually stay in and is a 5 min walk through the parking lot. I'll definitely come back if I find myself here again.

I had an ok time at this venue. The service was a bit slow and lacking in some areas (refills, straws, table check back) but I'm going to assume maybe this server was new and just needs a little practice. The food looked pretty but was not very good. Flavor was lacking all around with the tacos, not to mention my order came out wrong and so did my boyfriend's. I was able to try a shrimp taco from my bf plate (1 item missing from my order) and it was good, but it was the only one I cared for. All the rest were very bland. The queso dip was a bit different (hint of smokiness) but quite delicious I must say. The best part of our outing was the live music performed by a cover group called D'Funk. They were great!
