La Garita Restaurant — Restaurant in Killeen

How can I even start. Is my first time taking my time to leave a review cause this type of service is embarrassing. One of my friend order an Alcapurria and was undercooked, they brought another and it was undercook as well. I order a trifongo with churrasco which by the way the charge me extra 4$ which is not stated in the menu, the menu clearly stated mofongo,bifongo or trifongo nothing about additional cost. The worst part the churrasco, worst churrasco I had in my life and believe I have eaten alot of them, terribly seasoned, small, literally taste like it was just a couple of hours away of going bad if it wasn't bad already and probably was the reason for the bad taste. Pretty much spend 40$ + tip on 1 piña colada, 1 alcapurria and the trifongo/churrasco plate. It was also barely a trifongo, pretty sure it was just a bifongo with 1 or 2 small pieces of sweet plantains if that was the second ingredient. Is being 5 hours and still burping garlic from the trifongo. Told one of the waitress about the extra 4 dollar and she made a joke about it about being in small letters, told her about the churrasco which I only took 1 bite and left the rest and she didn't care either. They may have couple of things decent from the menu but 90% of 8 people table didn't like the food. To be honest I don't even know how a place like this still standing when they have multiple restaurants of the same within 2 miles of each other and are by alot way better in prices and food...

This is crazy because I used to love this place. I used to come here a lot and the food was so so good. I remember a very sweet older lady at the counter taking orders. I would always order the pork chops, white rice and beans, and let me tell you that meal was everything. Today, I made a to-go order and I ordered the same pork chops, white rice and beans that I ordered a years ago. The food was not the same at all and that’s very disappointing because I wanted to love the meal but it was not the same. The pork chops were very salty and fried really hard. They give you a ton of rice with very little beans and the flavor of the beans was not the same, they put the fried plantains in the same container as the other food, which made them soft and not crispy. I’m not sure who runs this restaurant now, but the meal that I had today was not even close to what it used to be and...

I called ahead of time to order a dozen pasteles on Veterans Day. When I arrived a few minutes early, one of the owners greeted us and welcomed us in. Other people had been waiting outside for the restaurant to open as well. We decided to order lunch to go besides the pasteles. My husband asked if they had any specials. The young man taking our order told us that they had two lunch specials for Veterans Day. The lunch specials were free to veterans. My husband picked the chicken with rice and plantains and I picked the pork chop with rice and tostones. Both lunch specials were to die for!!! The staff goes out of their way to make sure you are satisfied with their service and food. Bring the whole family to enjoy a delicious meal in a welcoming and relaxing environment. They also keep a clean restroom which makes your experience even...
