Where flavor and passion meet

Since 1984, the Garcia family's mission has been to provide the finest Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine in town. My grandmother Mama Sarita would be proud of our attention to detail in following her personal recipes to the letter. Each morning, we start by preparing small batches of our always FRESH ingredients to bring you traditional selections in generous portions. 

Just taste our famous Spicy Bean Dip often imitated but never duplicated. 

Having grown up in the restaurant business since the age of 11, I guess you could say 'it's in my blood.' I've held every position imaginable in the restaurant, so I understand the responsibilities of every job - dishwasher, line cook, busboy, host, server, bartender, and manager. Since the mid-1980s, my family has owned and operated Casa Garcia in Metairie. My parents, Octavio and Dorita Garcia, felt the need to bring great quality Mexican and Tex-Mex cooking to the New Orleans area. 

Following in their footsteps, I took what I learned from them and my grandmother’s recipes and secured a location to open in 2004. My wife Connie and I chose the Northshore area because we wanted a safe community to raise our daughter, Taylor. The restaurant achieved instant success and has been a community favorite for over two decades. Our focus is FRESH MATTERS. 

You are invited to taste the difference!
