Garcia's Las Avenidas

Starting out in 1956 with a takeout counter and a few picnic tables, Olivia and Julio Garcia gradually opened (and sold) several Phoenix-area restaurants. But, they kept one in the family, Garcia’s Las Avenidas.

Longtime customers know to order the pollo fundido – chicken in a deep-fried tortilla smothered with jalapeño cream cheese and cheddar, and the appetizer sampler that includes mini-chimichangas among other Mexican favorites.
