García in Aachen

Kind workers Good interior and food

Very nice waiter, unfortunately the food really didn't taste like anything. In my opinion, the food was made without love and absolutely nothing special for the price. Unfortunately I can't recommend it to anyone.

Incredibly nice reception. Very tasty and fresh food. The tapas were amazing! The sangria is highly recommended!! Clocky furnishings, but I think it's really great and it just fits perfectly. I'm thrilled. My wife and I will be back!

Back here after a long time, everything is still great. Nice staff, delicious food, portions big enough

Nice staff, great food (the steak was on point) and delicious cocktails. Just a nice time. That's how it has to be. Edit: A year later and still great! :)

Food not good and far too expensive for what is on offer. Service friendly and tried hard but unprofessional. What a shame!

Ich kann die schlechten Bewertungen nicht verstehen, Service und Geschwindigkeit sehr gut, das Essen war grandios! Ich komme in jedem Fall wieder. Bei der Auswahl der Speisen haben wir auf die Bedienung gehört und wurden nicht enttäuscht. Es war unglaublich lecker und auf Nachfrage wurde uns sogar eine Cava Sangria serviert. Auf der Karte stand diese nicht. Sangria auch spitze 👍🏻

Very very tasty food and very nice atmosphere! 😊

Very nice staff. Super friendly. The food was good. We had different tapas. However, the price is not right.

Quite pleasant surroundings. Very pleasant staff giving excellent service. The night we were there, however, they were VERY busy, hampered by billing being done by hand and not electronically, which leads (can) to possibility of errors. Suggestion to Chef Garcia, croquettes should be served with dipping sauce and not served dry. Very good selection of wines and my partner said the Margarita he had was the best, prepared by our young lady waitress. She had a fantastic personality. The Chef knows how to pick great staff!

The restaurant was an Instagram recommendation, which unfortunately proves that you can't believe everything on social media. We were hoping to find a good tapas bar and were disappointed. First about the ambience: I found the decor comfortable. Very rustic, lots of dark wood, spiced up with Spanish/Colombian decorative elements. The reason I only give it 2 stars is partly because the tables are very small and very close together. We overheard every conversation from the neighboring tables. Two other guests had to change tables when the tapas arrived because not everything fit on the first table. We also sat facing the passage towards the kitchen. We always knew when the service could pick up the food because a table bell was used. The only difference was that they didn't even ring the bell, they just rang the bell very impatiently for a whole minute, which was really annoying. This is not an atmosphere to feel comfortable in. Next point: service. It was good at the beginning, we were given a menu straight away, drinks were taken and served and the boss personally took the food order (I'll come back to this, not everything was in stock). The more guests came, the more you could see that the service staff were not well organized. There wasn't a table that didn't have to repeatedly point out orders that hadn't yet been received. We also had to ask for the invoice more often; it was handwritten. Many guests then went straight to the counter to pay. That evening there was also a notice that only cash payments were possible, which forced some guests to go to an ATM. We also noticed this because many guests at the counter asked several times to get a subtotal so that they could get the appropriate money. Our bill came quickly, but no one came to collect it. So I went to the counter and had to help with the change because the waitress couldn't distinguish between the coins (he only spoke English). What was positive about the service was that they were consistently friendly and apologized several times. Now about the food: as already mentioned above, when we ordered, it started with the fact that not all the tapas were in stock (shrimp croquettes were there, he expected the fresh shrimp to be delivered from 7 p.m. - we were there at 5:30 p.m.; patas bravas He couldn't serve either, but papas arrugadas were possible). We chose 5 different tapas, some warm, some cold. We waited almost 1.5 hours for the order. And then it didn't even taste good or fresh. The bread with aioli (€6.50) were whole ciabatta rolls from the supermarket (I buy the brand myself) and the aioli was so firm and sticky that it didn't seem like it was homemade. The potatoes tasted like they had been warmed up the day before, the squid rings were so dark and dry, the breading crumbled when touched. Either they were fried for too long or they were from the day before and fried again. And for two people with a soft drink each and the 5 tapas I was out 50€. This is disproportionate to the quality, far too expensive. We will not visit this restaurant again.

i can only say.bad food from entree over tapas until main course and cold bread with mayo ) bad service although the owner tries to feel u best friend with a lot of blablabla. that's in total contrast last year. thr garden was full of guests, today, same nice weather , same day, 6 guests of 50 places. at this standard its not a loss,if the restaurant has to close,sorry ,dont visite this restaurant no more,although im living nearby

Seems to have been a great place according to the overall rating, which encouraged us to have dinner there last Saturday. To no avail. We found a wood heavy and sloppily cleaned place with a staff of five in kitchen and service who were completely overchallenged by a tiny attendance of 5 tables. Order processing to invoicing seems to be a major obstacle, not to mention preparing food. We ordered starters at 7.45pm which did not arrive when we left upset by 9.20pm. To be avoided.

Nach einem anstrengenden Ausflugstag wollten wir hungrig zum Abschluss etwas gutes essen - und wir wurden völlig enttäuscht. Über die Qualität der Speisen ist nichts zu sagen, weil wir über eine Stunde nach der Bestellung trotz mehrfacher Nachfrage nicht einmal eine einfache Vorspeise (Oliven mit Brot) bekommen hatten. Da auch der Getränkenachschub schlecht funktionierte und die beiden Kellner einen völlig überforderten Eindruck machten haben wir knapp 1,5 Stunden nach Ankunft den Laden unverrichteter Dinge wieder verlassen. Übrigens gab es am Nebentisch die Aufforderung ans Personal, doch bitte den soeben mit Beschlag gelegten Tisch abzuwischen - auch kein Hinweis auf professionelles Verhalten der dort Arbeitenden. Nie wieder! In einem anderen Lokal gab es dann ein Happy End...

It was simply terrible. The young and kind service were sabotaged by bad organization and under-managed kitchen. Simple starters like bread and olives did not arrive for 90 minutes. Guests have to wait unpleasant long times for anything, not to mention bills. Tables and kitchen are in need of a cleaning brigade.

It's really a great experience. I haven't had this much fun eating in a long time. The boss but also the employees are sweet as sugar. The atmosphere is also great and it really feels like you are free of all problems and worries for the time being. Great food, great wines, cocktails and music🥰🌸 Also very queer friendly 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 Will definitely be back

Went there with friends to spend a nice evening with tapas, paella and a good mood...Eating should be fun! Service completely incompetent in sweatpants and sneakers. The simplest requests for cutlery, drinks or ashtrays are only granted after repeated inquiries. First drinks after 35 minutes of waiting. Unfortunately, the one drink remained for two hours due to the incompetence of the waitresses. Plates dirty, table mats with grease stains and the dishes absolutely not worth the price given for the quality. Tapas like paella with dried out mussels and scampi, other cheap ingredients, tasteless. We skipped the dessert and obligatory cafe con leche there and preferred to change locations. Not recommended

It's time to say thank you. Garcia, we thank you and your staff for a lovely evening. The paella was super tasty. It's definitely not the last time we've been with you. P.S. And you're right your amaro is the best.

Service: Asked underground 5 times for an ashtray. We also had to ask for cutlery. Food was way too expensive for paella. Tasted like German cuisine with some seafood. The mussels didn't taste like anything. I was very disappointed. Too bad

Very nice, friendly boss. Very good service and extremely tasty tapas. Freshly prepared. Highly recommended! Finally a tapas restaurant in Aachen again! A real asset

Very friendly owner and staff, good food!

The tapas are delicious, the service is friendly and fun. The environment is also very atmospheric, a very interesting restaurant.

Went here for the first time recently, the owner was very hospitable, even came to sit with us, we had a drink together and had a nice chat. Me and my girlfriend were even allowed to take a picture behind the bar. It was a nice evening. Greetings Devon

Wonderful dinner place, paella is really good~

We had an incredibly great evening at Garcia. The owner and conditions are very attentive and friendly. The food is great. Especially the tapas, for example the prawns, great chef!! It was our first time there but we'll definitely be back. The Garcia is a clear recommendation and very cozy.

Went here on a recommendation, what do you get? Sat at a table with the owner for an hour and a half and had one of the hottest spontaneous evenings, the service was just nice and friendly, great value for money, we would come here every time we were in Aachen again

Badly. The shrimp in the sauce were not peeled, you had to reach into the dish with your hands to remove the skin and clean out their insides... The prices are very high. Paella came with very little seafood??? The workers didn't ask if we liked the dishes. Unfortunately, it was not possible for two people to eat for 70 euros.

My husband and I had a wonderful dinner here. It was a Monday but the place was still full of couples out for a date. The food was great. We loved the steak and gamba. Highly recommend checking it out.

-Essen eher unterdurchschnittlich -Bedienung viel zu langsam und unaufmerksam -Ambiente eher rustikal und ranzig -viel zu teuer für die Leistung

Tasty plates! Great drinks! Friendly and polite personnel. The owner is a wonderful person! Lovely restaurant with a beautiful cozy garden! You have to go!

Friendly staff, delicious food and a very nice and personable host, highly recommended.

Went for a business celebration and we absolutely loved the place. Food is fantastic and it’s also super easy for people with gluten allergy, both the owner and the cooker were super careful and even prepared some special things for me to substitute the ones I could not eat ☺️. We will definitely come back!!

We bezochten recent 3 goede (volgens Google) restaurants met Spaanse paella. Gracia werd een goede nr. 2, de beste is Casa Espagna in Herzogenrath, en Barcelonetta in Gronsveld viel tegen. De zaak, in een mooie villa, ligt aan de drukke Ludwigsallee. Maakt dus parkeren moeilijk. Ergens in de woonwijk erachter wat zoeken. Restaurant is mooi, met een aparte uitstraling. Wordt gerund door een gezin, dus bij drukte duurt het ietsje langer. Zeer attente bediening. De vispaella was redelijk voorzien van vis, en smaakte voortreffelijk. Grote porties, we hadden een 3 persoonspan, en die kostte 62 euro. Heel redelijk, en genoeg voor nog een keertje genieten.

We haven't eaten tapas this well in a long time. Everything was just right here. The quality of the food is really good, the atmosphere is very nice and the service is just as great. Gladly again soon.

A beautiful place, wonderful host and very good food. Refreshing and delicious sangria. I recommend.

Although the ambience of the restaurant was quite inviting, the overall visit was unfortunately anything but satisfactory. In my opinion, the prices are disproportionate to the quality of the dishes, not to mention the size of the portions. That borders on impertinent. Overall the service was friendly, although the bills seemed to get mixed up at the end and, as it turned out, dishes were charged twice. What a shame! One star for the ambience, but preferably zero.

Nice ambience. We had tapas as a starter and steak as the main course. The food was a 12/10. the meat was super tasty. The evening was very nice, a family atmosphere.

A really nice experience and very nice people. You feel more than welcome. The atmosphere was like a vacation. The food was delicious, especially the boiled banana. We'll come back to Garcia. 👍

It was a pleasure to meet Mr. Garcia, he served us personally. The food was amazing, nothing in Aachen comes close. You should definitely visit!

2 stars from me - one for the friendly owner with his little daughter and one for the cozy atmosphere, which would also suit an old brewery. No star for the food; Several dishes were not in stock, the tapas were quite dry and, in our opinion, mostly warmed up and not worth the very high prices that evening.

We went to Garcia for the first time today. We were greeted very warmly and felt welcome straight away. The tapas we ordered were all delicious. Highlight: a mini paella The desserts and cocktails are also highly recommended. The owner is really friendly and even took the time to chat. You really feel comfortable here. We can only recommend the Garcia and will definitely come back.

Super nice service and good quality! Were there with a very large group. It was super familiar and everything went well :-)

I've been here a few times and the service is always very friendly. There is a nice selection of taps and other main courses. All in all a very nice shop!

Delicious! The owner was also there and was very nice and in a good mood.

Tapas and dessert were perfect. Service authentic and very friendly. Would go back at any time

We were at Garcia again yesterday. As always, it was a lovely experience. The tapas are very tasty, the wine is excellent, the atmosphere is cozy, the nice waitresses and the boss are very attentive and in a good mood. We have already reserved for next time!

Recently went to Garcia for the first time with my girlfriend. The food was super tasty and pleasantly surprised us. The restaurant is family-run and has its own charm that reminded me of my time in the Dominican Republic. We will be back definitely. All the best for the future! Águilas Cibaeñas 🦅

All great! We felt very comfortable and the food was a-mazing!

Tasteful choices and excellent service!

The food was excellent. Service and hosts too. We would love to come back and can absolutely recommend Garcia.

Wonderful hosts and fantastic food. Any time

Very nice owner who is also happy to help with the selection of dishes and recommend them. Very good food. I felt very comfortable.

Was there for the first time today, location furnishings were probably taken over from the previous owner, I didn't find it very "Latin American", service was friendly and attentive, but a bit uncoordinated, food... I had a main course that was kind of like a rice pan, it tasted good . But there was no South American flair. However, in my opinion the price is completely excessive for this dish, and not all of the ingredients were fresh either, canned mushrooms are absolutely not acceptable in this price range.

Great restaurant! Definitely one of the best in Aachen. Or maybe just the best. Excellent food, especially the steak, one of the best I've ever tasted, and a unique selection of fine wines. First class service and incredibly friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Thank you, Garcia. P.S. Very pleasant prices. And yes, the waiting time is sometimes too long, but believe me, it really doesn't matter. I would definitely like to make 10 stars out of 5. P.P.S. This is a paradise in Aachen, absolutely!

Das Restaurant pflegt selber einen hohen Anspruch („Fusion-Küche“). Die Trinkgläser waren sauber poliert. Die Mühlen für Pfeffer und Salz waren auch sehr sauber. Das Ambiente stammt noch vom Vorgänger (Restaurant Limeri) und wurde von uns als lebendig und angenehm empfunden. Der Oktopus-Salat war ausgewogen mit einer guten selbstgemachten Dressing. Die Oktopusstücke waren zart und saftig. Lediglich die großen Stücke vom ganzen Maiskolben stellen einen vor die Wahl, sie mit den Händen zu essen oder liegen zu lassen. Kleine Holzsticks, mit denen man Maiskolben aufspießen könnte, wurden nicht angeboten. Die kleine Paella war geschmacklich ausgewogen. Die Gamba war seitlich aufgeschlitzt und sauber ausgenommen. Sieht man nicht alle Tage. Die Datteln im Speckmantel waren geschmacklich sehr gut. Aber sie waren nur von einer Seite angebraten. Die gegenüberliegende Seite bot rohen Speck. Dies gibt einen Punkt Abzug in der Bewertung. Das Personal empfanden wir als freundlich und zuvorkommend. Die Preise sind ausgesprochen hoch. Eine Flasche Gerolsteiner Mineralwasser für über 7,— Euro zeigt das Preisniveau. Dafür gibt es einen weiteren Punktabzug.

I think that the prices are disproportionate to good tapas restaurants in Düsseldorf, for example. 6€ for white bread with aioli? The food is okay, but not a highlight either. Not particularly well seasoned or anything like that, everything a bit dry. The service made us wait a few times.

Very nice and friendly, simply great service, delicious food and nice atmosphere, very child-friendly atmosphere and clean. Is recommended 👍

Very friendly. You come and feel like you're at home. You can see that the boss does the whole thing with passion. The food was always very tasty.

Incredible service and even better food. If you want to treat yourself to something great, it is 100% recommended

I ordered several menus. Starting from appetizers: ceviche de pulpo, tapas: dateln con bacon, croquetta de gambas & queso fritto, and for the main course: steak and filette bachata. and I was very surprised because everything was really good ❤️ first Ceviche de Pulpo in Aaachen and really perfect! 1000/1000 🌟 All their seafood is really fresh. The steak are good, nothing very special but you have to try their Bachata! MUST! Their service is really friendly and the boss is so humble too! highly recommended 🥰

Went to Garcia for the first time today. We once ordered a dozen tapas dishes. A compliment to the kitchen. The only small point of criticism. I paid by card. However, you only find out how much the bill is after paying with the card. No problem. Anyone who likes Spanish cuisine is in good hands there. I'm conflicted about the price-performance ratio. Still recommended if you're not concerned about money.

Great Spanish-Latin American restaurant. Great tapas. Good cocktails. The ambience is very special thanks to the wood paneling and the carvings. We had a warm welcome and were served professionally.

Nice owner and very tasty tapas!

The food was quite good but too slow. We waited for 1 hour and even missed the bread we ordered (yes, you have to order the bread a la carte). After our reminder, the bread even waited for 15 minutes and still didn’t give us a headache. Suggestions to hurry up. Time people don't come

We were in beautiful Aachen over New Year's Eve and since I haven't been to the Spaniard in a while, I reserved a table at Garcia. As soon as we arrived at the premises, we were impressed by the atmosphere. The welcome was very friendly and we were allowed to choose the table almost freely. The boss personally came to greet us and served the red wine for tasting. The food (tapas) was absolutely fantastic :) we were thrilled. Finally good food and drink the way I love it again, thank you for that!!!! Above all, an extra “thanks” to the boss for the insights into his life and the extra “treats” :) We will remember this brilliant New Year's Eve for a long time. ...if possible we would like to come again!

Incredibly tastier food, great ambience, friendly service. Came across the restaurant by chance and would love to come back!

The food was very good and the service too! Absolutely recommended!

Great place to taste delicious Latin fusion food. The drinks experience is incredible, you can order from an Argentinian Fernet to a real Mexican Margarita.

A very nice, cozy restaurant with delicious food with something for every taste! The service was very good and left nothing to be desired. With an excellent rum at the end, my heart was finally conquered. I will gladly come again!

The three of us were at Garcia's for the first time. We were welcomed like family and accompanied throughout the evening. The food was first class, as was the service. Thank you for the wonderful evening!

The food in this restaurant is very average. All dishes were very simply seasoned and not very tasty. The seafood in the paella was worse than the seafood in the supermarket freezer. The shrimp were in a completely unfresh condition. This restaurant is only suitable to experience Spanish atmosphere. If you want real Spanish food, avoid this restaurant.

The olives were just olives from the aldi. But staf was very friendly

Es fing entspannt nach einem Kerzenlicht Konzert an. Wir hatten nahezu alle Tappas und ein paar Bier und haben im laufe des Abends gelernt, dass es auch Wein hätte sein können. Wir durften etwas später die Seele des Garcia kennenlernen (bei uns nennt man es nicht Chef)..und begannen ein wenig Grappa und Limoncello kennen zu lernen - interessante Gespräche entwickelten sich und wir werden sicher wiederkommen…. P.S. die Tappas waren great as they can be…

The Best! Das Essen war sehr leckkkkler!! Die Bedienung war top!! Die ätmospherr war super!! 5/5

Essen war super und die Bedienung war sehr freundlich Preis Leistung top Kommen gern wieder

Tolles Tapas Restaurant. Gehen hier regelmäßig essen :)

Das Essen war sehr lecker und die Bedienung war sehr freundlich immer wieder gern. Preis Leistung top

Super Essen und sehr guter Service. Man wird herzlich empfangen und fühlt sich willkommen. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder. Weiter so!

Super restaurant. Nice to share with friends. Service SUPEEEEER. *****. Food very good. 100 % recomended.

We had a blast eating here. Our steak was cooked to perfection and the rice dish was also superb. We enjoyed every minute of our time here. Thank you so much Garcia, we will definitely come back and bring our friends along!!

Una experiencia inolvidable 100%100 recomendado... Si queréis comer rico ¡Este es el lugar!

Excelente servicio, el personal super encantadores y cocineros.Rica comida y grande porciones.Volveremos desde Belgica.

García, la comida fue fenomenal y tan rica nosotros pensamos que éramos en el cielo, no lo puedo negar. Vamos a volver, tmb si nosotros cambiamos nuestro hogar. Te lo juro. Mejor restaurante en Aquis grana para ir a comer comida latina/española

Sehr netter Service und dem Chef merkt man die Leidenschaft an seiner Arbeit an! Essen ist frisch und sehr lecker! Wir haben einige Tapas gegessen und freuen uns beim nächsten Besuch die Hauptspeisen zu testen! Weiter so!

Das Restaurant bietet nicht nur äußerst schmackhafte Gerichte, sondern überzeugt auch durch die außergewöhnlich freundliche Bedienung, insbesondere durch Garcia. Eine rundum empfehlenswerte Erfahrung! Gracias!!

Muchas muchas gracias! Das war die beste Paella, die wir jemals gegessen haben, das Team war unglaublich herzlich und das Ambiente sehr gemütlich. Die Paella wurde auf Nachfrage für eine Person auch eben schnell als vegetarische Option vorbereitet. Buen provecho y salud! :)

Essen Top, Atmosphäre super. Cocktails und Longsrinks erstaunlich gut. Da kann sich die ein oder andere Cocktailbar was abgucken :) Sehr empfehlen kann ich auch das Schweinesteak als Tappas.

Phantastisches Essen und unglaublich freundliche Bedienung Man muss etwas auf das Essen warten aber das ist es es alle Mal Wert

A bit expensive and small portions. Other than that I liked the place. Cozy nice atmosphere, tasty food

Super urige Atmosphäre, die in meinen Augen gut zum Konzept passt. Es lädt zum Verweilen ein. Das Essen ist authentisch, köstlich in jedem Fall! Der Service war sehr freundlich und aufmerksam. Wärmste Empfehlung!

Had dinner with a group of friends here in May. We had some really good times with el jefe! Extremely friendly and open. It was awesome to practice my spanish again. Good food, great vibes. Definitely would recommend it. Greetings from the Netherlands!

Leider hat die Qualität der Speisen stark nachgelassen. Die Kartoffeln schmeckten aufgewärmt, die Champignons fade und die Bananas nach nichts. Die Bedienung wirkte zudem lustlos. Schade, vor etwa einem Jahr waren wir noch begeistert und kamen gerne hierher. Es schmeckte alles raffinierter, würziger und die Qualität der einzelnen Komponenten war eine andere. Die hohen Preise rechtfertigen sich nicht. Preis Leistung stimmt leider nicht :0/

Wir haben uns eine bunte Mischung aus den angebotenen Tapas bestellt und waren mit allem super zufrieden, die Inhaber waren gut gelaunt und freundlich. Ich werde auf jeden Fall wiederkommen und die Paella probieren!

Die Tapas waren recht teuer und haben leider nicht gut geschmeckt. 7 Euro für Champignons die verbrannt geschmeckt haben. Leider wurde auch nicht nach unserer Zufriedenheit gefragt, als der noch komplett volle Teller abgeräumt wurde. Am Ende wurden uns falsche, zu teure Getränke berechnet. Leider keine Empfehlung

Recommended, going back! Fabulosa la paella 🥘 ♥️

Schnell, freundlich, lecker. Wir haben zu dritt Tapas bestellt und warum rundum glücklich.

Nette Bedienung, gutes Essen zum fairen Preis. Kann ich empfehlen!!

Wirklich sehr lecker und sehr freundliche Bedienungen. Ambiente sehr toll, vor allem im Innenbereich fühlt man sich direkt nach Lateinamerika versetzt. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

What a wonderful restaurant! We first ate there at the recommendation of our friend who frequents the restaurant and returned again to have our 40th anniversary dinner. We had entrees the first time and tapas the second. Both times the food was delicious and Mr Garcia took very good care of us. If you’re in Aachen, you need to eat at Garcia’s!

Wer Tapas liebt ist hier richtig. Super Essen, anständige Portionen (für Tapas), der Service ist schnell, aufmerksam und super freundlich. Der Chef versprüht mit seinem authentischen, südamerikanischen Temperament eine ganz besondere Frische, die einen Besuch zu einem echten Erlebnis machen. Nur zu empfehlen. Wenn wir mal wieder in Aachen sind, besuchen wir euch ganz sicher nochmal. Vielen Dank.
