Potros Garcia — Restaurant in Ottumwa

My husband and I took our family visiting from out of town here for dinner. We ordered drinks and received half of our drinks and was told that they were washing cups and would get us our drinks. 10 minutes later I had to ask for our drinks again. Then, while we were ordering, we were told that they were out of rice. We continue to order and the food came out hot and fast. I asked the waitress since they were out of rice could we substitute French fries for one of the orders. She asked the gentleman behind the counter and he said the only thing we could sub for rice is beans. Then at checkout I was charged full price for each item even though they were out of a product. We have enjoyed their food which is why I wanted to share with friends from out of town. I was very disappointed in this visit and let staff know. The waitress told me there was nothing she could...

The food was good but now I’m telling every woman I know to stay away from here… me and my boyfriend sat near a woman eating by herself. It was slow in the restaurant and one of the employees sat down across from her and started hitting on her. He kept returning to her table and talking to her. Our waiter even sat down and did the same. It got so bad I asked if she was ok and if she felt comfortable. Then the worst happened our waiter went back over to her and sat in the booth side she was in. She politely said she wanted to leave and expressed how this was not ok. He refused to move and continued to block her in. I finally had my boyfriend stand up and our waiter rushed out of the booth to let her leave. A horrid situation for that woman. Absolutely disgusting service. Any and all woman should beware of this place. If I could rate 0...

Wandered in here tonight since I was staying next door. In a run-down hell-hole of a town with many Mexican restaurants to match the town, this one surprised me. The place was clean and the servers were extremely friendly, accommodating and fast! The food was mild, but fresh and good. They had authentic hot sauce at the table to spice it up. Quite the selection of beer too. I would suggest having a Mexican beer on tap though. It just makes sense and bottled beer is a little more expensive. I will definitely come here again before trying my luck elsewhere in town.

Oh, I think this is called "Porto Garcia" now...or...
