I live in Pflugerville and I wanted to go to La Garita to eat, all very delicious, all very clean and spectacular service
Love this place whether it’s a meal with the Family or date with my Husband, it’s always a great time spent! The consistent food flavor and great customer service keeps us coming back!
I'm often nostalgic for food from the island. I may know how to cook some dishes but never as good as mom. My hope when I find a Puerto Rican restaurant is that good food memory. This place delivered. The fried fish (red snapper) was delicious. So few places fry it whole! The mofongo was yum. It went well with the mayo ketchup. The arroz con gandules was the only thing mom does way better, but they still did a tasty version. The alcapurria was so good. And the burrito was for my husband, who was surprised by the sauce though I wasn't. They use a criollo-style sauce which he didn't expect. My tastebuds, however, thought it tasted like home.
La garita catered my baby shower and I just want to scream from the top of my lungs THANK YOUUUUUUUUUU. The service was spectacular. The set up was on time. The owner was swift and easy to communicate with. Staff was so kind so professional and better than I could hope for. Everyone loved the food I had so many people asking me where did this food come from I wanted to lie and say ME because it was so good hahaha everyone’s favorite was the pernil of course but everyone was incredible. I would order here 10000000000 more times for my personal self and as a caterer. I’m so grateful I love La Garita they are top tier!!!
Music just like home and food on point just like being in the island. Server very friendly and attentive. Price worth the food but ain’t that expensive either. My Hispanics/Latinos friends this business location is right out Vanessa gate 8 min more or less.
Friendly services and great food. A bit pricey but will definitely come again if I ever crave for some in house Puerto Rican food.
I love supporting local eats, and this local eat is phenomenal! I had the arroz con gandules, pernil and tostones as well as a carne empanada. The portions are very generous I had enough for lunch and leftovers for dinner. I did a pick-up through Uber Eats, and my food was ready on time. The staff was friendly!
Let's start with the food. It definitely reminded me of PR and was very flavorful. The service was great and the atmosphere was cozy, it even had domino tables! My recommendation would be to play different variety of latin music, my experience was all Juan Luis Guerra so the music made it less interesting. Also, add more decorations that represent Puerto Rico I saw great opportunities to make this place shine. Highly recommend you stop by and try them out!
