The Garcia Family originated in the little coastal village of Gonzales in the State of Tamaulipas, Mexico, which is just south of the now growing and very modern metropolitan city of Tampico, Mexico. Senior Federico Garcia and, his wife, Senora Raquel taught the Garcia children very early about hard work on their family ranch.

The Garcia Family migrated to the United States in the late 1980's through Texas to Savannah, Georgia, where most of the children finished their education in the United States while their Mother and oldest brother worked two and three jobs to support their family. While one younger sister married an army man and began the traveling life of a military family, two brothers and three sisters and their mother moved to Chattanooga Tennessee and began their journey operating Mexican restaurants.

In 1995, the Garcia Family moved to Jackson, Mississippi to open their very own restaurant, Margaritas Mexican Grill. Through hard work, long hours, excellent food and fast service at very reasonable prices, the original Margaritas Mexican Grill recently celebrated its 10th anniversary in its original location.

In August 2001, the Garcia Family opened La Cazuela Mexican Grill in Jackson Mississippi in the historic Belhaven area, which services the neighborhood, nearby medical facilities and hospitals and provides great fast lunches for the Downtown crowd as well as a local gathering place for singles and families after work and during recreational time.

Finally in October 2005, the Garcia Family opened Papitos Mexican Grill in Madison Mississippi in the Colony Crossing Shopping Center in honor of and as a memorial to their husband and father.

Imported traditional Mexican decorations, art and furniture adorn each of the restaurants. For an hour or two while you dine in a little casita booth inside a Garcia Family restaurant, you may actually believe you are in a little village in Mexico Viejo (Old Mexico).

The Garcia Family will continue growing its traditional Mexican family restaurants in 2006 by adding a Papitos Mexican Grill in Oxford, a Papitos Mexican Grill in Vicksburg and Los Jarros Mexican Grill in Byram, Mississippi.
