Our Pick: Garcia’s Mexican Food, 842 Fredericksburg, facebook.com/Garcias-Mexican-Food.
The Garcias are not playing around. The family, presently led by brothers Andrew and John Garcia, have been serving up amazing BBQ and Mexican dishes since 1962 when they opened their first restaurant, which now sits across the street from their current location on Fredericksburg. Most notable is their brisket taco. Holy. Moly (it comes with guacamole, actually). Juicy, tender and practically melting in your mouth, the brisket inside this taco has been treated with care, and every bite will remind you why we think this is seriously the best taco in SA.
