He debuted with Pumas UNAM back in 1986 where he played for six seasons until Atlético Madrid acquired him, after his skills and abilities to score goals placed him in European teams’ radar, as he scored 75 goals in his stint with Los Universitarios.

Although his European stint was short -he only played two seasons with Atlético, where he scored 28 goals in 58 games, and then moved to Real Sociedad, where he only managed to score two goals throughout the season-, his performances made him a regular for Mexico National Team calls.

Luis García scored a total of 29 goals playing for Mexico National Team, becoming Golden Boot of 1995 Copa América. He retired in 2000 after only six months of playing for Club Puebla and he rapidly became a sports commentator, but he also has an entrepreneur side, as he owns a restaurant where he sells ceviche tacos.
